Abstract
Three hundred cases in which both ultrasonic and soft tissue placentography examinations had been done are correlated with each other and the clinical findings. These are grouped in two series, one in 1972โ1973 and the other 1973โ1974. The accuracy rate for both methods was 95 per cent. Outright errors were 2 per cent, and cases in which correlation was lacking for reasons other than diagnostic errors were 3 per cent. Reasons for this lack of correlation are discussed and illustrated. Seven examples of the ascending (or migrating) placenta were also found and an illustrative case is described.

300 patients with extremity soft tissue sarcomas (STS) were entered into treatment protocols at the National Cancer Institute. Using the Cox proportional hazards model, the STS were analyzed for independent prognostic variables that had significant association with disease-free and overall survival.
Soft tissue sarcomas make up a heterogenous group of rare malignant tumors originating from mesodermal tissues. Although there have been several improvements in diagnostic methods, staging, and treatment over the past few years, the prognosis of head and neck sarcomas remains worse than those sited
