Fibroids
A period about to happen.
Thickened nuchal fold do exist with babies with Downs. If ultrasound shows this, it surely means one thing - a triple test as well as amniocentesis - a MUST - for confirmation.
Since you didn't specify, I can only guess you mean uterine "prominent endometrial echo". If you mean cardiac, I can't help so much. It generally means that the endometrium (lining of the uterus) has a thickened appearance on an pelvic ultrasound. In and of itself, it is a pretty nonspecific finding, and further testing may have to be done to determine a cause. Hope this helps.
"Trilaminar emdometrium" is a term generally applied to the (ultra)sonographic pattern of the endometrium. It speaks to the "shape" of the interuterine area and, by default the echoic properties of the endometrium, which is the lining of the uterus. Let's back up. The uterine lining, the endometrium, undergoes changes throughout a woman's menstrual cycle. In cases where a woman is undergoing some sort of fertility treatment, sonography reveals something about the characteristics of the endometrium, and investigators may suspect that conditions may or may not be favorable to fertilization and conception based on what they see in the sonogram. A trilaminar endometrium is more favorable than non-trilaminar. What seems the case is that if the "general shape" of the image is a trilaminar endometrium, then the conditions for favorable outcomes in insemination attempts are improved over non-trilaminar sonography. There is not guarantee, but in the clearly non-trilaminar imaging, no pregnancies occurred in the studies.

The ICD-9 code for thickened endometrial is 793.5. Thickened endometrial is a thickened build up of tissue that is often pregnancy related.
A woman's internal sex organs consist of two ovaries, the Fallopian tubes, the uterus (womb) and the vagina. The ovaries contain the ovum with which she is born. During each period, an ovum will usually ripen and mature due to the action of hormones that circulate in the bloodstream. At maturity the ovum is released the ovary and drifts down the Fallopian tube into the uterus. The lining of the uterus, the endometrium, has been thickened as aresult of the hormones and isprepared receive the fertilised egg. If the egg is fertilized and the woman becomes pregnant, it will fasten itself onto the endometrium. However If the egg is not fertilized, hormonal changes cause the endometrium to fall away and menstruation begins. Menstrual discharge is composed of the endometrium itself, together little fresh blood caused by the breaking of very fine blood vessels within the endometrium as it falls away from the inside of the uterus.
