Localization of acupuncture points on the Lung Meridian using Bi-Digital O-Ring Test electromagnetic field resonance phenomenon between 2 identical substances.

Using Bi-Digital O-Ring Test electromagnetic field resonance phenomenon between 2 identical substances, it is possible to draw on the surface of the human body several points similar to the acupuncture points of Traditional Chinese Medicine-TCM with the help of histological slides of 12 organs of the main TCM Meridians, using the method first described by Yoshiaki Omura Sc.D. M.D. To determine the relationship of the Lung Meridian of TCM and the points drawn with a histological human Lung slide by BDORT, it was mapped the upper limb in 41 healthy individuals. There were almost identical matches in all points in 26 subjects (63.4%). In 15 subjects there were no identical matches at any point (36.5%). In all cases of no identical matches of the points, the new Lu1 point is displaced in the direction of midpoint of thorax below the clavicle. On the arm there was a medially deviation in comparison to the line obtained from the TCM points, for example the new Lu9 point was located on the midpoint of the wrist.

Morphologic hysteroscopic criteria suggestive of endometrial hyperplasia.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the morphologic hysteroscopic criteria leading to a diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia and compare their accuracy with that of histology. METHODS: A total of 95 hysteroscopic examinations were evaluated. Of these, 37 had a histologic diagnosis of normal endometrium and the remaining 58 of simple or complex endometrial hyperplasia. We compared the morphologic hysteroscopic criteria for the two groups using Pearson's chi-squared and Fisher's exact test. RESULTS: Only the presence of endometrial glands presenting a cystic pattern at hysteroscopy gave statistically significant results (P < 0.05), with low sensitivity (15.79%), high specificity (97.29%) and a relative risk of 6.75. With a prevalence of endometrial hyperplasia of 22.97% in a population of women with metrorrhagia, the positive predictive value was 63.53% and the negative predictive value was 79.40%. CONCLUSION: Additional, prospective studies are needed to determine the real value of the diagnostic morphologic parameters under consideration.
