SummaryIn this study, 55 pregnant women in labor were classified into:Control group; 15 cases with uneventful pregnancy (9 showed normal CTG findings and 6 showed suspicious CTG). The remaining 40 cases were high risk pregnancies; 20 cases was pre-eclampsia and 20 cases was diabetic (7 showed normal CTG, 17 showed suspicious CTG findings and 16 showed pathological CTG findings).All cases were subjected to the following:- Routine history and clinical examination.- Routine laboratory investigations.- CTG.- Apgar score at one and five minutes.The validity of predictive value of CTG findings were assessed in relation to Apgar score < 7 at one and five minutes in the two groups. It has been found that:- There was no statistical significant difference in age, gravidity and gestational age between each of study and control groups.- There was significant difference in percentage of cases with Apgar score at one minute in suspicious compared with normal in control group (p = 0.2).- There was no significant difference in percentage of cases with Apgar score at one and five minutes in suspicious compared with normal in study group (p = 0.38-1).- There was significant difference in percentage of cases with Apgar score at one minutes and no significant difference at five minutes in pathological compared with normal in study group (p = 0.001-0.27).- The sensitivity, specificity positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CTG for detection of Apgar score < 7 at one minutes in control group (100%, 64%, 16.7% and 100%).- The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CTG for detection of Apgar score < 7 at one and five minutes in study group:For pathological CTG compared with normal; 88.9%, 100%, 100% and 71.4% compared to 100%, 36.8%, 25% and 100%.For suspicious compared with normal; 81.8%, 38.5%, 52.9% and 71.4% compared to 100%, 30.4%, 5.9% and 100%.Conclusion1. The identification of predictive value of CTG finding to be useful screening test in intrapartum surveillance for fetal asphyxia in high risk pregnancies.2.

It has been found that:- There was no statistical significant difference in age, gravidity and gestational age between each of study and control groups.- There was significant difference in percentage of cases with Apgar score at one minute in suspicious compared with normal in control group (p = 0.2).- There was no significant difference in percentage of cases with Apgar score at one and five minutes in suspicious compared with normal in study group (p = 0.38-1).- There was significant difference in percentage of cases with Apgar score at one minutes and no significant difference at five minutes in pathological compared with normal in study group (p = 0.001-0.27).- The sensitivity, specificity positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CTG for detection of Apgar score < 7 at one minutes in control group (100%, 64%, 16.7% and 100%).- The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CTG for detection of Apgar score < 7 at one and five minutes in study group:For pathological CTG compared with normal; 88.9%, 100%, 100% and 71.4% compared to 100%, 36.8%, 25% and 100%.For suspicious compared with normal; 81.8%, 38.5%, 52.9% and 71.4% compared to 100%, 30.4%, 5.9% and 100%.Conclusion1. The identification of predictive value of CTG finding to be useful screening test in intrapartum surveillance for fetal asphyxia in high risk pregnancies.2.

Histological examination reveals that 15 cases (20%) proved to be endometrial carcinoma , 46 cases (61%) endometrial hyperplasia , 2 cases (3%) secretory endometrium , 5 cases (7%) proliferative endometrium , 6 cases (8%) atrophic endometrium , and only 1 case (1%) proved to be endometrial polyp . The sonographic finding in cases of endometrial carcinoma were charecterized by an endometrial thickness more than 10 mm . Non of the cases of endometrial carcinoma had endometrial thickness less than 10 mm , while all cases of atrophic endometrium had endometrial thickness less than 5mm . 32.6 % of cases of endometrial hyperplasia had endometrial thickness 5-10 mm , while 67.4 % more than 10 mm . The mean endometrial thickness of non malignant group was 11.23 + 6.04 while in malignant group was 20.67 + 6.58 and this was statistically significant (p< 0.001)Endometrial thickness greater than 13 mm , which is hypoechoic or inhomogenous with presence of intratumoral blood vessels with RISUMMARYEndomtrial carcinoma is the commonest invasive malignancy of the female genital tract in both the united kingdom and united states of America .

Assessment of tumor angiogenesis using color Doppler ultrasound provides useful information for the preoperative prediction regarding stage, depth of myometrial invasion and presence of lymph node metastasis in patients with endometrial carcinoma .In this study , two groups of patient were included. Non malignant group comprised 60 patients and malignant group comprised 15 patients.All the patients in both groups were subjected to through history , through clinical examination and then TVS with color flow and pulsed Doppler study and finally from every patient endometrial biopsy was taken which was subjected to:- Routine histopathological examination .The results were statistically analyzed and diagnostic accuracy of Doppler ultrasonography in the prediction, diagnosis and prognosis of endometrial carcinoma are calculated .In this study , 75 patients included presented by abnormal uterine bleeding .

Non malignant group comprised 60 patients and malignant group comprised 15 patients.All the patients in both groups were subjected to through history , through clinical examination and then TVS with color flow and pulsed Doppler study and finally from every patient endometrial biopsy was taken which was subjected to:- Routine histopathological examination .The results were statistically analyzed and diagnostic accuracy of Doppler ultrasonography in the prediction, diagnosis and prognosis of endometrial carcinoma are calculated .In this study , 75 patients included presented by abnormal uterine bleeding . Histological examination reveals that 15 cases (20%) proved to be endometrial carcinoma , 46 cases (61%) endometrial hyperplasia , 2 cases (3%) secretory endometrium , 5 cases (7%) proliferative endometrium , 6 cases (8%) atrophic endometrium , and only 1 case (1%) proved to be endometrial polyp . The sonographic finding in cases of endometrial carcinoma were charecterized by an endometrial thickness more than 10 mm . Non of the cases of endometrial carcinoma had endometrial thickness less than 10 mm , while all cases of atrophic endometrium had endometrial thickness less than 5mm . 32.6 % of cases of endometrial hyperplasia had endometrial thickness 5-10 mm , while 67.4 % more than 10 mm . The mean endometrial thickness of non malignant group was 11.23 + 6.04 while in malignant group was 20.67 + 6.58 and this was statistically significant (p< 0.001)Endometrial thickness greater than 13 mm , which is hypoechoic or inhomogenous with presence of intratumoral blood vessels with RISUMMARYEndomtrial carcinoma is the commonest invasive malignancy of the female genital tract in both the united kingdom and united states of America .

PGs may be involved in pathogenesis of nasal polyps.The purpose of this study was to measure concentrations of PGs in nasal polypsand maxillary sinus mucosa. Samples of nasal polyps ~nd maxillary’ sinus mucosawere obtained at the time of polypectomies and maxillary sinus procedures.Levels of PGE2 was measured by radioimmunoassay.Wc found that the level ofPGE2 was higher in polyps from patient with a history of allergy than fromnonallergic patients.Also the level of PGE2 were higher in nasal polyps than in the maxillarysmus mucosa in allergic patients, while the level of PGE2 were higher in maxillarysmus mucosa than in the nasal polyps of non allergic patients. The nasal polyp inallergic patients is caused by primary inflammation 0t nasal mucosa and sinustisoccurs secondarily. In the non-allergic patients, maxillary sinusitis occur frristleading to secondary formation of nasal polyps. So prostaglandins have animportant role and may be the direct cause of nasal polyps in allergic individuals.We hope that the fmding of this study will helps to explain biochemical basis ofthe pathogenesis of nasal polyps and to develop better medical treatment for them.
