TL;DR: The diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma by cervicovaginal smear does not approach the accuracy enjoyed by squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix, but the method was rapid, and there were no complications.

TL;DR: There are few case reports of pulmonary edema associated with salicylate intoxication, and the literature was searched when searching for such reports, according to the editor.
Abstract: Excerpt To the editor: We agree with Davis and Burch (1) that there are few case reports of pulmonary edema associated with salicylate intoxication, because we searched the literature when we encou...

TL;DR: While the parasternal position is employed commonly for left ventricular structure imaging the transducer position shown in the illustration does not preclude recording aortic valve or mitral valve images in infants and is preferred for viewing right ventricular structures.
Abstract: tion of the coronal cross-section should have been rotated counter-clockwise as pointed out by Dr. Gramiak, although we think his figure shows somewhat exaggerated rotation. However, we do state clearly in our manuscript that the tricuspid valve is anterior to the interventricular septum and that the latter structure is continuous with the anterior aortic margin. In addition, and as also stated in our report, it should be emphasized that the tricuspid valve is positioned inferiorly and medial to the aortic valve. Because figure 3 is a coronal cross-section, the fact that the four cardiac valves are at different superiorinferior levels cannot be appreciated from any diagram. We do not agree that an error exists in the diagrammatic portion of figure 1. We included a portion of a longitudinal section of the sternum in the illustration for clarity since the sternum is a usual anatomic landmark. Moreover, it should be pointed out that the sternum is minimally calcified in infants. While the parasternal position is employed commonly for left ventricular structure imaging the transducer position shown in our illustration does not preclude recording aortic valve or mitral valve images in infants and is preferred for viewing right ventricular structures.

TL;DR: The author produced an inexpensive device to display numerical data on any ultrasound oscilloscope screen by removing the light emitting diode (LED) chips from a commercial compact calculator and reconnecting the LED chips by cable to the calculator.
Abstract: By removing the light emitting diode (LED) chips from a commercial compact calculator and reconnecting the LED chips by cable to the calculator, the author produced an inexpensive device to display numerical data on any ultrasound oscilloscope screen. The chip is clipped to the face of the oscilloscope and photographed as part of the Polaroid or 70mm scan. Eight digits and one symbol can be displayed showing date, patient number, decibel level and position of scan.

TL;DR: Both groups of brain damaged subjects performed less well on both tasks than the group of normal subjects, and both groups ofBrain damaged Subjects with left hemisphere brain damage performed lesswell on the auditory temporal task than the visual spatial task.
