摘要：To evaluate the reliability of pelvic X- ray and transvaginal ultrasound to localize Essure microinserts (Conceptus,San Carlos, California) after successful place-ment in both fallopian tubes 3 months after placement. Design: Prospective,observational study. Setting: Gynecology departments at two teaching hospitals. Patient(s): One hundred eighty- two patients who underwent hysteroscopic sterilization by placement of Essure microinserts between August 2002 and August 2004. Intervention(s): Transvaginal ultrasound, pelvic X- ray,and hysterosalpingography (HSG) 3 months after sterilizationwith Essure. Main Outcome Measure(s): Transvaginal ultrasound confirmation of correct localization of microinserts after a 3- month follow- up. Result(s): In 150 of 182 patients, confirmation of successful bilateral placement of two microinserts(300 devices) was possible. In 9 patients it was not possible to identify both devices with ultrasound, or there was doubt about the extension of the device through the uterotubal junction. The other 291 devices were identified as being in a good ***(s): Hysterosalpingography at the 3- month follow-up after successful placement of Essure microinserts can be replaced by transvaginal ultrasonography. A 3- month follow-up with HSG after the Essure procedure is only required after unsatisfactory placements. In those patients in whom transvaginal ultrasonography can not confirm satisfactory localization, acomplementary pelvic X- ray should be performed.

摘要：不管是否愿意承认,每个人都希望程序的运行速度越快越好。每天人们都你追我赶,好像明天就是末日。而同时,公关部的那些家伙则不停的吼叫着,说他们的新引擎比其他人的更“快”更“好”。我并不打算告诉你如何让你的代码跑得比别人的快。我只是想告诉你,如何让你的代码更快、更高效——当然,是跟你原来的代码相比。
