TL;DR: Pelvic examination, transvaginal sonography and Doppler all had similar ability to predict malignancy in an adnexal mass, but statistical analysis did not show any difference in the predicting ability of these three modalities.

TL;DR: Distribution of less liquor in the lower quadrants of the uterus predisposed to abnormalities in FHR and hence, cesarean section and the distribution pattern did not have a predictive value for the perinatal outcome.

TL;DR: The present study carried out in 18 patients with carcinoma cervix stage IB through early IIB-Preoperative computerised tomography was done within seven days before surgery and conventional surgical approach appears to be the more appropriate.
Abstract: The present study was carried out in 18 patients with carcinoma cervix stage IB through early IIB-Preoperative computerised tomography (C.T.) was done within seven days before surgery. Volume of tumour was determined from the C. T. films. Radical hysterectomy Type-III was performed in all 18 patients and specimens of cervix, parametrium and lymph nodes subjected to histopathological examination. Each specimen of cervix was cut into 4 to 12 equal sections depending on the size of the tumour mass. Cervical tumour volume was measured. Correlation of radiological with pathological tumour volume and of tumour volume with lymph node involvement was done. C. T. Scan was able to detect tumour mass accurately only four patients (Sensitivity 40%, Specificity 28.5%). In the Indian setting the conventional surgical approach appears to be the more appropriate.
