Diagnosis of fetal hydronephrosis in utero using ultrasound.

Detection of fetal hydronephrosis in utero, subsequent investigation, and surgical treatment is described. With the increasing use of ultrasound for obstetrical problems and greater experience with fetal sonography, more urologic abnormalities will be diagnosed prenatally.

Gray scale ultrasound: evaluation of iliopsoas hematomas in hemophiliacs.

Because of its insidious nature, intramuscular bleeding, in contrast to hemarthrosis, is missed or belatedly recognized in hemophiliacs. Sixteen patients with suspected iliopsoas bleeding were studied by gray scale ultrasonography. In 12 patients it was possible to confirm the diagnosis of iliopsoas hematoma because of enlargement and rounding of the psoas muscle.

Hydrops of the gallbladder in a child: diagnosis by ultrasonography.

Hydrops of the gallbladder is a rare cause of right upper quadrant mass in children. A case of acute hydrops of the gallbladder in a 5-year-old child is reported. A specific and accurate diagnosis can be made preoperatively only by sonography. Characteristic sonographic findings are described.

Cytochemical differentiation of tonic (slow) and phasic (fast) muscle units in the ocular muscles of a fresh-water carp, Catla catla (Ham.).

1. Functional morphology of the ocular muscles with special reference to their topography, innervation and action have been studied in a fresh-water carp Catla catla. An attempt has also been made to differentiate tonic (slow) and phasic (fast) muscle units in the various ocular muscles by their SDH activities and their lipid contents. 2. Catla catla has large eyes (2 cm in diameter) in a fish measuring 30 cms. There are four recti (inferior, superior, anterior and posterior) and two obliquii (superior and inferior) muscles for the synchronized rotation of the eye ball within the orbit. Anterior and posterior myodomes are well developed. The former accommodates two obliquii muscles, while the latter gives space for the posterior and anterior recti. 3. In this fish, all the ocular muscles are composite in nature being made up of tonic (slow) and phasic (fast) muscle units. The former is made up of red fibers whereas the latter have only white fibers. In the tonic muscle units lipid is more concentrated. 4. The superior and the inferior obliquii muscles rotate the eye ball on its antero-posterior axis. The upward and downward movements of the eye balls are achieved by the superior and the inferior recti. The anterior and posterior recti move the eye ball in the antero-lateral and postero-lateral directions. 5. The superior obliquii contains about 41% of the tonic and 59% of phasic muscle units. The inferior oblique is made up of 25% of tonic and 75% of the phasic muscle units. 6. The Anterior rectus contains greater percentage of tonic muscle fibers (48%) than the superior rectus (40%), the Interior rectus (34%) and the posterior rectus (35%).
