    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.

    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.

    Estimation and occurrence of polycystic ovary among Sudanese woman's 2018
    (IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences, 2018) Ahmed,MahaEsmeal; aldosh,Mwahibsid ahmed
    Objective : Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common disease which affectswomen of reproductive age. The lack of well- defineddiagnostic criteria makes identification of this common diseaseconfusing to many clinicians. In addition to the needs of identification the differential diagnosis of the variedmanifestations of the disorder .The importance of the study derived from the importance need of those caring patients to understand not only the management issues pertinent to theirspecialty, but also appreciate the other potential health risks inthese women. Methods: The incidence of infertility caused by PCOS has been increased in Sudan. So to assessment characteristics of the disease,this study was conducted among Sudanese patients affecting from (PCOS) diagnosed by radiologic Ultrasonography (US).Population of the study including sample of 50 womenpatients ages 14 years and older. Results: The main results approved thatUltrasound is more reliable for the diagnosis of PCOS.The statisticalanalyzed of patients' age, weight and heightshowed that ,the mean age of the study sample was( 28.46+ 7.13)years.The mean weight of the study sample was(71.22+12.91kg)and the mean height of sample was( 160.6+6.6 cm).The results indicated that the majority of patient were withsecondary infertilityand most of them hasirregular menstrual cycle percentage of (86%). Most of the study sample (96%) has pelvic pain, and all patient (100%) have signs ofhirsutism.For hormonal results the majority were normal with (64%)percentage . Ultrasound findings showed (26) patients of abnormal ovarian size with percentage of (52%) .The majority of patients had follicles with (72%). Conclusion:Ultrasound is more accuratein the diagnosis of PCOS, it can be used as the first line for the diagnosis of PCOSalone or combinedwith clinical assessment features such as menstrual disorder.Future studies recommended in correlation between uterine size and ovarian size in cases of PCOS. And correlation between obesity in relation toPCOS.
