Usefulness of doppler techniques in the diagnosis of peripheral iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms secondary to minimally invasi...

Published in Journal of ultrasound

The pseudoaneurysm (PA) is a perfused sac directly connecting with the arterial lumen by an interruption of the vessel wall continuity, more commonly secondary to trauma or iatrogenic causes. Aim of our study was to determine the accuracy and usefulness of Doppler techniques in the diagnosis of peripheral iatrogenic PAs secondary to minimally invas...

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in a remote area of Sierra Leone: impact on patient management and training program for...

Published in Journal of ultrasound

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has been shown to have unique potential in low-income countries. Physicians and other healthcare providers can perform effective scans after a short period of training. This study aimed to evaluate indications and utility of ultrasonography as the main imaging service in a poor rural sub-Saharan region of Africa. Se...

From an abdominal ultrasound to a lung disease passing through the diaphragm: a case of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Published in Journal of ultrasound

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung disease characterized by abnormal and excessive deposition of collagen in the pulmonary interstitium (fibrosis) with minimal associated inflammation evolving into progressive and irreversible decline in lung function. Patient referred discomfort, bilateral upper quadrant abdominal pain, and prog...

Surgical margin follow-up after nephron-sparing surgery: the possible role of CEUS.

Published in Journal of ultrasound

To evaluate the possible role of CEUS in the management of patients who underwent nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) and presented questionable findings on the surgical margins at the CECT follow-up exam. In our retro-prospective study, we included 952 patients with small renal masses (SRMs) treated with NSS between 2012 and 2015 and followed with CECT ...

Transgluteal ultrasonography in spica cast in postreduction assessment of developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Published in Journal of ultrasound

The position of the femoral head in spica cast after the reduction of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) should be examined and followed up closely and regularly. The study aimed to use the transgluteal ultrasonography approach for this purpose and compare its accuracy with the results of CT scan, which is the most commonly used modality. Twe...

A comparative study of the pancreas in pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis and healthy children using two-dimensiona...

Published in Journal of ultrasound

To compare sonographic parameters of the pancreas between healthy children and pediatric cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with pancreatic involvement using shear wave elastography (SWE) and to investigate the efficacy of SWE in the diagnosis of pancreatic involvement in pediatric CF patients. The pancreas was evaluated in 38 patients with CF and 38 he...

Introduction of point of care ultrasound into the neonatal intensive care unit.

Not only fat: omental infarction and its mimics in children. Clinical and ultrasound findings: a pictorial review.

Published in Journal of ultrasound

Acute abdominal pain in children is the most common cause of emergency department admissions. Omental infarction is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain in this age group, accounting for approximately 15% of cases in children and 0.024-0.1% of cases of surgery for suspected appendicitis at the same age. Its clinical presentation may mimic similar d...

Impact of umbilical cord length on fetal circulatory system by Doppler assessment.

Published in Journal of ultrasound

Numerous studies have revealed the impact of umbilical cord (UC) length on fetal perfusion; abundant data implicate abnormal UC length to neurological delay and subsequent poor prognoses for fetuses and newborns. Indeed, our group previously developed theoretical approximations that contributed to formulas capable of explaining the impact of UC len...

Exercise induced changes in echo intensity within the muscle: a brief review.

Published in Journal of ultrasound

Echo intensity is the mean pixel intensity of a specific region of interest from an ultrasound image. This variable has been increasingly used in the literature as a physiological marker. Although there has been an increased interest in reporting changes in echo intensity in response to exercise, little consensus exists as to what a change in echo ...
