Staging of endometrial carcinoma by magnetic resonance imaging: correlation with surgery and histopathology

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of MRI in staging of endometrial carcinoma, and comparison with surgery and histopathological findings. METHODS: A one year prospective cross-sectional study was conducted from 10/3/2005 to 31/5/2006, at the Radiology department, Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) Karachi. Fifty two patients with diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma, referred to radiology department for preoperative staging by MRI and had undergone surgery were included. RESULTS: MRI was found to be 79% sensitive, 85% specific and 80% accurate for staging endometrial carcinoma while PPV and NPV were 97% and 66% respectively. CONCLUSION: Magnetic resonance imaging is a good, safe, accurate and non invasive imaging modality in staging of endometrial carcinoma. It can be used as a first line radiological investigation in patients with endometrial carcinoma for treatment planning

Problems of Transliteration of Fiqh Legal Terms (Library Research on The Book Al-Fiqh Al-Islami Wa Adillatuhu Using the Al-Munawwir Dictionary)

This study investigates the difficulties encountered when translating fiqh terms from the Al-Munawwir dictionary to the “Islamic Fiqh wa Adillatuh” book. This study combines a literature review methodology with qualitative research techniques. The Al-Munawwir dictionary and legal jargon included in Sheikh Wahbah Az-Zuhaili’s book “Islamic Jurisprudence wa Adilatuh” are the sources of this information. The research’s findings indicate two categories of issues related to the translation of fiqh terminology in the book “Islamic Jurisprudence wa Adillatuh”: Linguistic Issues and Technical Issues. These issues were identified through data analysis conducted with the Al-Munawwir dictionary, followed by analysis and discussion in earlier chapters. This study further emphasizes how useful the Al-Munawwir lexicon is for translating terms related to fiqh. Among the Indonesian research and translation community that preserves their language, culture, and religion, this dictionary is highly regarded. Arabic and Indonesian dictionaries are used as reference materials, and words are defined from these sources
