Role of Noninvasive methods(ultrasound) in diagnosing of liver cirrhosis

Cirrhosis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality globally . Liver biopsy is still the gold standard for diagnosing liver cirrhosis but this technique is expensive and have many complications . So doctors are looking for other methods that have less complications and cost .Nine ultrasonographic variables were recorded in 202 patients .Half of patients(101) have cirrhosis and were divided into groups depending on cause and severity of cirrhosis .While the other half have chronic liver diseases but they have not, develop cirrhosis yet. Main cause of cirrhosis is chronic viral hepatitis. Sensitivity is 88%,specificity is 80% in diagnosing cirrhosis.

A Comparison between Crown–Rump Length (CRL)Measured by Ultrasound and Regular Last Menstrual Period (LMP) in Predicting Day of Spontaneous Onset of Labour. Descriptive Prospective Study in Maternity University Hospital- Damascus Syria

Most of Syrian pregnant women do not remember their LMP exactly, so that if there is another correct way (like CRL measurement by ultrasound), It may improve the obstetric management in clinical practice. To compares between regular last menstrual period (LMP) and ultrasonographic crown–rump length (CRL) measurements in predicting the delivery dates (EDD) in a Syrian population.

A Comparison between Ultrasonographic Fetal Bi-Parietal Diameter (BPD) Measurements and Regular LastMenstrual Period (LMP) in Predicting the Day of Delivery in the Spontaneous Onset of Labor in a Syrian population

Most of Syrian pregnant women do not remember their LMP exactly, so that if there is another correct way (like BPD measurement by ultrasound), It may improve the obstetric management in clinical practice. To compare between regular last menstrual period (LMP) and ultrasonographic Bi-Parietal Diameter (BPD) measurements in predicting delivery dates(EDD) in a Syrian population.
