The article presents a reflection on the experience of prenatal ultrasound and on the nature of cultural beings, it creates. It exploits chosen ethnographic and cultural descriptions of prenatal ultrasounds in different cultures, as well as documentary and artistic reflections on medical imagery and new media technologies. It discusses different ways of defining the role of ultrasound in prenatal care and the cultural contexts build around it. Although the prenatal ultrasounds often function in the space of enormous tensions (although they are also supposed to give pleasure), it seems they will accompany us further in the future. It is worthwhile to find some new ways of describing them and to invent new cultural practices to deal with them.

Objectives: Foot arch reduces the exposure of weight and buf load due to its bufer function. in longitudinal platypodia foot looses this function and articular menisci have to take the role of the bufers (shock absorbers). Materials and Methods: Ultrasound assessment of meniscus thickness was performed on the joint space level. Results: varus type (43.4%) of the meniscus complex adaptation was dominant in 5-7 years old patients with the 1st stage longitudinal platypodia; symmetric type (51.9%) – in 8-12 years old patients; valgus type (56%) – in 13-17 years old ones. Healthy children showed the valgus type in all age periods. Conclusions: in our opinion the dominance of the varus type of the meniscus complex in 5-7 aged children and its further conversion into the valgus type in case of the 1st stage longitudinal platypodia refects the reduction of the lower extremities transformation processes from the varus into the most functional convenient valgus position at the age of 13-17. Keywords: meniscus, children, ultrasound investigation.

Background: Patients presented with unilateral inguinal hernia are at risk for the possibility of contra-lateral occult hernias; small early-developed hernias may be difficult to be elicited by clinical, imaging assessment and during open repair. This study to evaluate laparoscopic identification of contra-lateral occult hernia with regard to the pre-operative clinical and imaging study.Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients presented in the period of March to December 2015 with unilateral inguinal hernia for which medical and ultrasound imaging assessment were done. Laparoscopic trans abdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) approach was done with intraoperative evaluation of the presence of contra-lateral occult hernias.Results: During the study period (27) patients (25 Males and 2 females) presented with unilateral inguinal hernia were clinically evaluated, 18 (66.6%) patients had right sided hernia, 9 (33.33%) had left sided, In all the studied patients routine ultrasound assessment was done and no documented cases of presence of contra-lateral hernia, Intraoperative abdominal exploration successfully Identifies bilateral inguinal hernias in 7 cases (25.9%) with mean age (44.14 years, SD 10.99) compared to (34.97 years, SD 10.51) in the Unilateral group, 3 cases on the left side (16.6% of total right side patients) and 4 cases on the right side (44.4% of total left side patients). operative time for unilateral repair was (Mean 85.8 minutes, SD 18.8), and for discovered bilateral cases (Mean 145.9 minutes, SD 46.8).Conclusions: The presence of occult inguinal hernia is a frequent finding specially in older age group of patients, also in our study we found the percentage of occult hernias are more in patients presented with left side disease. Laparoscopic (TAPP) approach is a useful tool for assessment of the presence of such hernias, and gives the privilege of simultaneous repair in same operation with the advantage of avoiding the patient’s later surgery together with the laparoscopic surgery benefits of less pain, rapid recovery and shorter hospital stay.

Ultrasound assessment of the urinary tract is frequently undertaken to identify post-renal or obstructive causes of renal failure. This chapter describes the normal renal sonoanatomy and the technique for scanning the renal tract, including the bladder. The sonographic features of the common pathology that may be identified are described, including the classification of hydronephrosis. The advanced section introduces the role of ultrasound in assessing renal perfusion.
