    New Sudanese Reference Chart of Fetal Biometry and Weight Using Ultrasonography
    (Scientific Research Publishing, 2016) Ayad,Caroline Edward; Ibrahim,Ahmed Abdelrahim Mohammed; GarElnabi,Mohammed Elfadil Mohammed; Ahmed,Bushra Hussein; Abdalla,Elsafi Ahmed; Saleem,Mohammed Ahmed Elshiekh
    Background: Many centers in Sudan use the reference data for fetal biometry. The recently pub- lished population-based reference either overestimated or underestimated the weight of the fe- tuses. Objective: To establish a national reference for fetal biometry, and weight by gestational age for singleton fetuses in Sudan. Methods: Data were collected on all singleton live births docu- mented in the data collection sheet done at Saudi Hospital from 2015 to 2016 (n = 225). Gesta- tional age estimation was based on the last menstrual period and fetal ultrasound thereafter. Fetal biometry and weight and other 6 fetal weight formulae were assessed. Reference data for fetal growth by gestational age were created. Results: New charts and reference equations are reported in Sudanese population for fetal biparietal diameter, head circumference, abdominal circumfe- rence and femur length and fetal weight. Conclusion: We advocate that these reference charts and equations for fetal biometry and weight might be valuable in the clinical use for appropriate eth- nic Sudanese.

    Ultrasonographic Study of Patients with Positive Schistosomiasis Infection in Shikan Region-Sudan
    (WULFENIA JOURNAL, 2015) Gabraldar,Mudawi Bakheit; Abdallh,Elsafi Ahmed; Garelnabi,M.E.M; Ahmed,Bushra Hussien; Saeed,Abdelmoneim; Ayad,Caroline Edward
    Schistosomiasis (Bilharziasis) is one of the most prevalent tropical diseases. Sonography is among the most valuable diagnostic tools for Schistosomiasis-related organ lesions. This study delineates typical findings in patients who were infected by Schistosomiasis. This study was conducted in Shikan in North Kordofan State in Elobied Teaching Hospital. Ultrasound scans were done using Fukuda 4100 machine fitted with convex probe 3.5 MHz. The sample size was 108 patients 97(89.8%) were males and 11(10.2%) were females, their ages ranged between ˂10years ˃40 years old with mean age of 14.80±8.438years old. The results of the study showed that patients’ demographics including age, gender and occupation were significantly correlated with gastrointestinal manifestations of Schistosomiasis at p˂0.000. The prevalence of urinary bladder manifestation was found to be: (17.6%) have localized urinary bladder wall thickness and (82 %) have general thickness. Other bladder lesions including polyps and calcification were seen in (20%) while (80%) showed no lesion. The renal pelvicalyceal system and lower ureteric end were found to be normal in the majority of patients constituted (94%) and (96%) respectively.

    Assessment of Used Formulae for Sonographic Estimation of Fetal Weight in Sudanese Population
    (Scientific Research Publishing, 2016) Ayad,Caroline Edward; Ibrahim,Ahmed Abdelrahim Mohammed; Garelnabi,Mohamed Elfadil Mohamed; Ahmed,Bushra Hussein; Abdalla,Elsafi Ahmed; Saleem,Mohammed Ahmed Elshiekh
    The objective of this study is to assess commonly used formulae (Sheppard, Campbell, Hadlock I, II, III, and IV) for estimation of fetal weight in Sudanese population. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Saudi Hospital-Khartoum-Sudan; from December 2015 to April 2016. The study included 225 singleton pregnancies. The fetal biometry—Biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), femur length (FL) and actual birth weights (ABW) were taken. Statistical analysis showed significant results at p ≤ 0.005. Results showed that the significant highest positive correlation between the ABW and the EFW/Kg was seen in the Hadlock I, III and IV equations having an equal values (0.951) followed by Hadlock II (0.946), Sheppard (0.872) and lastly Campbell (−0.925) with significant high degree of negative correlation. The new established equation EFWFLHCAC is the best formula identified in our study to predict Su- danese babies weight ranged between 1.86 Kg to 3.987 Kg.
