BACKGROUNDAn accurate estimation of gestational age is the cornerstone of decision making in obstetric practice. Dating by recalled last menstrual period is frequently inaccurate due to memory related sources of error. Ultrasound in the first trimester is an accepted method of accurately dating the duration of gestation.
BACKGROUNDAs life expectancy goes up, a noticeable increase in ageing populations are seen in both developed as well as developing nations. Prostatic enlargement and cholelithiasis are important causes of morbidity in the elderly with attendant demands on health care delivery systems.The aim of the study is to evaluate the frequency of urological and non-urological abnormalities on routine abdominal ultrasound scanning in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms and to determine if there is an association between the concomitant occurrence of prostatomegaly, cholelithiasis and components of the metabolic syndrome.
