Ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation of symptomatic uterine fibroids: short-term evaluation of effect of treatment on quality of life and symptom severity.
To evaluate the feasibility of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (USgRFA) for the treatment of women with symptomatic uterine fibroids in relation to volume of fibroid. ⋯ USgRFA reduces fibroid symptom and size even in patients with larger fibroids. USgRFA is a promising new treatment for fibroids in gynecological settings and should be further investigated.

Comparative StudyPostmortem examination of human fetal hearts at or below 20 weeks' gestation: a comparison of high-field MRI at 9.4 T with lower-field MRI magnets and stereomicroscopic autopsy.
To compare the diagnostic usefulness of high-field with low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and stereomicroscopic autopsy for examination of the heart in fetuses at or under 20 weeks' gestation. ⋯ High-field MRI at 9.4 T seems to be an acceptable alternative approach to invasive stereomicroscopic autopsy for fetuses with CHD at or below 20 weeks' gestation.
