Mark, that quote about Poly & Hydramnios being redundant came from me, not Peter Wein. That is one of the problems with Email, everyone tries to clip to keep bandwidth/volume down, then we can't tell who said what. We'll have to learn to deal with that someday. I really liked Wein's brief contribution.:

<snip>Lots - causes of polyuria, especially diabetes. High-output cardiac failure - TTTS, placental chorioangioma, isoimmunization. Some TORCH infections. etc Peter Wein, Senior Lecturer Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology University of Melbourne, Mercy Hospital for Women Clarendon Street, East Melbourne 3002 Australia <SNIP>

I agree that the terms Poly & Oligo are different. My statement was "Some consider Poly redundant..." I don't include myself in that. You must have missed the flaming fight over the term Hydramnios vs Polyhydramnios. I don't remember who was involved but it may have been one of those international differences, like foetal and our fetal. I was just trying to avoid going through it again by acknowledging their preference. I don't care if you call it Hydramnios or Polyhydramnios or excess fluid, as long as we both know what we are talking about, there in is the devil.

Mark, as often as we have talked about sonography, somehow it slipped passed me that we took the ARDMS exams the same year, and both had to face Sireni Malini (I am also unsure of the spelling, but I think this is closer). My Malini story was with a pelvic exam showing a pelvic cyst. She asked me what did I see. I, "A cyst." She, "What kind of cyst might this be?" I was starting to panic, she did have a rather aggressive manner. I said, "Ovarian?" She, "What else?" I sheepishly, "Fluid fillled?" At which point she started pounding the table, "There have been 75 kinds of cysts defined in the female pelvis, NOW NAME SOME!!!" When she finally turned me loose, I bolted, literally bounced off the door frame trying to get out. Whew!! But, to her credit as you say, she was good, has HIGH standards. Still bump into her at AIUM once in a while, though not in 5-6 years, it seems.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
