Seven female subjects in whom thyroid hemiagenesis was suspected on the basis of clinical findings and scintiscanning before and after TSH administration were studied with ultrasound. Ultrasonic scanning confirmed true hemiagenesis in only three cases. In the other four it revealed a nonfunctional hypoplasic lobe contralateral to the assumed single lobe.
The reproducibility of ultrasound measurements of the pancreas was investigated in 10 healthy volunteers. All subjects underwent three different evaluations, each consisting of three ultrasound examinations, at 8:00 after overnight fasting, at 12:00 after a solid, standard meal, and at 14:00. The longitudinal and anteroposterior (AP) diameters of the head, body, and tail, as well as the total areas of the gland, were measured in longitudinal and axial scans. Significant differences were observed in the head and body longitudinal diameters measured at 12:00 and in the tail AP diameter at 14:00. We conclude that ultrasonography of the pancreas should be performed in the morning with patients in the fasting state. In these conditions, the reliability of ultrasound measurements of the gland appears to be the highest.

The natural mummies of Popoli: a new site in the inner Abruzzo Region (Central Italy) Autor(es):Ventura, Luca; Leocata, Pietro; Beckett, Ronald; Conlogue, Gerald; Sindici, Giulia; Calabrese, Antonio; Giandomenico, Vincenzo Di; Fornaciari, Gino Abstract The authors describe the preliminary investigation of the natural mummies found in the church of the Holy Trinity in Popoli (inner Abruzzo region, Central Italy) and dating back from 1734 to 1845. The project was featured as an episode in the National Geographic Channel series "The Mummy Road Show". The mummy of a male individual, 35-40 years old, underwent non-destructive examination with radiological, endoscopical, histological and X-ray diffraction analysis. Tire individual, belonging to high social class, was found affected by caries, paradontal disease, rib fractures, calcification of the diaphragm and renal urolythiasis. The recovery and complete investigation of the whole series of human remains will offer the opportunity to trace an anthropologic and paleopathologic profile of this interesting community.Key words Popoli; Central Italy; mummies; paleopathology; renal stone.Resumo Os autores descrevem a investigacao preliminar das mumias naturais encontradas na igreja da Sagrada Trindade em Popoli (na regiao de Abruzzo, Centro de Italia) e que datam de 1734 a 1845.0 projecto foi tratado num episodio televisivo da serie "Na trilha das mumias" do canal National Geographic.
