Introduction: Lipodermatosclerosis is a symptom of severe venous insufficiency, the diagnosis of which is based on the clinical picture. Although the histopathology of the skin and the subcutaneous tissue allows for the most reliable diagnosis, it is not recommended due to healing disorders. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness o...

Objective: Scrotal ultrasound is not a routine investigation in the clinical approach to male infertility analysis. This study aims to identify the role of testicular Doppler ultrasound in male infertility assessment and its relation to semen parameters in non-azoospermic men. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive analysis of 558 men from infertile ...

BackgroundUltra-high field magnetic resonance imaging (MR) may be used to improve intracranial blood flow measurements. However, standard cardiac synchronization methods tend to fail at ultra-high field MR. Therefore, this study aims to investigate an alternative synchronization technique using Doppler ultrasound.MethodsHealthy subjects (n = 9) wer...

Our goal was to discuss the role of Doppler ultrasound (US), combined with clinical features, in the diagnosis of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) dysfunction in the era of covered stents. In light of the lack of research regarding the accuracy of Doppler US in TIPS dysfunction evaluations when using covered stents and a recent ...

BackgroundPrevious studies reported changes in the local vasoactive substance production within the endometrium with a subsequent increase in vascularity as a possible mechanism of intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD)-induced heavy menstrual bleeding. This research investigates the role of power Doppler velocimetries of the uterine arteries, en...

Fetal growth restriction is associated with adverse perinatal outcome and the clinical management of these pregnancies is a challenge. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) to predict adverse perinatal outcome in high-risk pregnancies in the third trimester. Another aim was to study whether the CPR h...

BackgroundThe aim of this study is to quantify the frequency content of the blood velocity waveform in different body regions by means of phase contrast (PC) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and Doppler ultrasound. The highest frequency component of the spectrum is inversely proportional to the ideal temporal resolution to be used for the ac...

Background: The limb occlusion pressure (LOP) is determined to calculate the relative LOP. The different levels of relative LOP (percentage of LOP) influence the treatment effect and perceived discomfort during low-load blood flow restriction (BFR) strength training. Thus, determining the LOP is of the utmost importance when using BFR in clinical p...

To examine three different methods for evaluating the effect of percutaneous sclerotherapy on limb venous malformations in a series of patients with a relatively long follow-up. The study was a retrospective study. Thirty-eight patients treated with percutaneous sclerotherapy underwent sclerotherapy, with a median number of sessions of 4 (range, 1-...

Ureaplasma parvum infection is a prevalent cause of intrauterine infection associated with preterm birth, preterm premature rupture of membranes, fetal inflammatory response syndrome, and adverse postnatal sequelae. Elucidation of diagnostic and treatment strategies for infection-associated preterm labor may improve perinatal and long-term outcomes...
