Is anterior but not posterior compartment prolapse associated with levator hiatus area : a three- and four-dimensional transperineal ultrasound study?
our data suggest that accessing the axial plane to evaluate the size of the levator hiatus is indicated in women who have clinically significant POP including the anterior vaginal compartment. The size of the levator hiatus did not explain the discrepancy between subjective and objective findings in women with POP.
Elevated serum TAC level may reflect clinical severity of sepsis. In addition, serum uric acid levels appear to contribute importantly to the higher TAC levels observed in patients with severe sepsis.
