Title: German measles : why German? Abstract: German measles is also known as rubella, which is derived from Latin, meaning ‘little red.’ Rubella was initially considered to be a variant of measles or scarlet fever and was called ‘3rd disease’. It was not until 1814 that it was first described as a separate disease in the German medical literature, hence the common name ‘German measles’. The virus is an enveloped, positive-stranded RNA virus classified as a Rubivirus in the Togaviridae family.

Title: Imaging the cervix : part 1 Authors: Vassallo, Pierre Abstract: During pelvic ultrasound (US), the examiner consistently reports findings in the uterine body, endometrium and adnexa, while the cervix is often not mentioned. This probably results from a training in transabdominal pelvic US, since the cervix is poorly seen with this technique. On the other hand, endovaginal pelvic US with the excellent image quality obtainable on new devices, allows detailed assessment of the cervix.
