OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to determine if tubal patency can be assessed by MR hysterosalpingography (HSG) using a clinically available MR angiographic sequence (3D time-resolved imaging of contrast kinetics [TRICKS]). This capability would enhance the value of MRI in women with infertility. CONCLUSION: MR HSG effectively shows tubal patency and can be considered when both conventional HSG and standard MRI are necessary for the evaluation of women with infertility, such as in women with suspected uterine anomalies or extrauterine disease.

    Titanium-carbon (Ti-C) ceramic thin films (abbreviated as n-TiC/a-C:H) are very important for industrial applications. However, their chemical structure is still not completely resolved. The aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition of such n-TiC/a-C:H layers prepar...

    A multi-disciplinary psychocutaneous team is important in this condition particularly as the patient is likely to require psychological intervention (to facilitate the resolution of the precipitant) in addition to dermatological (to make the diagnosis and, importantly, to exclude organic disease) an...
