ABSTRACT
The acquired cystic disease of the kidney (ACDK) occurs in uremic patients before and during dialysis treatment. It has been defined as a disease with multiple acquired cystic lesions in patients with advanced renal failure. We evaluated its prevalence in a group of 94 uremic patients employing ultrasonographic examinations. Eighteen patients were not on dialysis treatment (group I) and 76 patients were undergoing hemodialytic treatment (group II). The prevalence of ACDK in groups I and II was 16.7% and 39.5% respectively. There is a noteworthy progression in the prevalence of the disease as the patients are kept alive by dialysis treatment. Primary renal disease, age and sex were not important factors in the disease's prevalence.

Foram realizadas mediçöes do diâmetro transversal equatorial ocular em 224 fetos de gestantes normais utilizando-se um ecógrafo Toshiba equipado com transdutor de 2,4 MHz. A idade gestacional dos fetos oscilou entre 12 e 19 semanas. O diâmetro ocular médio variou de 3,3 mm na 12ª semana até 18,9 mm na 39ª. O crescimento ocular mostrou-se mais rápido na primeira metade da gestaçäo diminuindo paulatinamente até chegar a um mínimo nas últimas semanas. Com os dados obtidos foi posssivel construir nomogramas aplicáveis ao nosso meio, que poderäo auxiliar na detecçäo intra-uterina de diversas patologias
