What does it mean if diagnosis of liver based on ultrasound is normal size with increase prenchymal echogenecity and coarse echopattern?
It means the liver tissue has been stretched to accommodate large amounts of filtrates- including alcohol. It is a pre-cirrhotic condition before scar tissue begins to appear.

What is the cause of myometrial contraction in the second trimester pregnancy?
Myometrial contraction during pregnancy can be categorized as: A. Physiological (Normal) B. Pathological (abnormal) C. Drug induced A. Physiological: Early pregnancy- up to 28 weeks or so. a) Asymptomatic localized myometrial contraction (thickening) - considered as of no clinical significance. However, the subject is not studied well to be 100% sure. b) Normal pregnancy labor contraction. B. Pathological: Early pregnancy: a) Spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) contraction till fetal viability usually up to24 weeks or so. b) Premature labor contraction (Preterm labor) - usually 24 weeks to 36 6/7 weeks or so. c) Abnormal uterine contraction: Hyper (excessive) or Hypo tonic (weak) uterine contractions during labor d) Irregular contractions C. Drug induced Many drugs can induce contractions such as Ergometrine, Pitocin, prostaglandin etc. Intention is usually to mimic physiological contraction. However, the uterus may not respond or could become excessive in nature, may even rupture the uterus. Above writing does need further addition or modification. This is just the starting point.
