Average size of uterus

What is the average size of a uterus?

I received my pathology report today, after having a supra-cervical hsyterectomy and it stated that my uterus weighted 328 gms. and measured 12×7.5×6cm in size. What is this comparable to and what does this all mean in English?

What does 328 gms equal to in pounds? (Is it 0.723116 lb?)

Is this large in size for a uterus?

Thank you in advance….

Sweet’s syndrome triggered by scalding: A case study and review of the literature

Sweet’s syndrome, a neutrophilic dermatosis originally described by Dr. Robert Douglas Sweet in 1964, is characterized by fever, tender erythematous skin lesions (papules, nodules, and plaques), leucocytosis, and a diffuse neutrophilic infiltrate in the upper dermis . Since it was first described, several hundred cases of Sweet’s syndrome have been reported . Skin hypersensitivity or cutaneous pathology is a feature associated with Sweet’s syndrome in which skin lesions appear at sites of trauma, but only occasionally has it been described following thermal injury . This case report details a rare case of delayed Sweet’s syndrome secondary to a burn, which involved multiple discrete anatomic sites including areas uninvolved with the original burn.

Surgical versus pathological excision margins—an excision too far?

Abstract  A common observation by clinicians who surgically excise skin pathology is the discrepancy between the measured size of the
surgical specimen and that of the measurements reported by the examining pathologist. This discrepancy can often be the difference
between whether, in the case of skin malignancies, the patient requires further wider excision, follow-up and, in cases where
relevant, discharge. Could it therefore mean that patients are needlessly undergoing further excisions that could be avoided
with more careful attention to specimen measurements and specimen ‘shrinkage,’ both surgically and pathologically? We measured
the length and width of skin lesions excised pre- and post-operatively and compared these measurements with the reported histopathological…

Garlic burn: The real facts

I thank Dr. Das for his interest in our paper . I believe Dr. Das thought the term “associated and underlying pathology” used in our paper meant the biochemical/inflammatory changes at the site of garlic application. This is not correct. What we meant was to highlight the underlying causes which have led to the use of garlic. This is clear from the discussion and the table that documents the underlying causes in previously reported cases. On the other hand, the points raised by Dr. Das are interesting because as far as I know, no one has ever studied the exact biochemical or inflammatory markers in the skin injured by the garlic paste. Furthermore, no one has investigated if other substances added to the garlic paste may have actually potentiated skin injury since it is possible that n…
