Its thickness and integrity significantly impact foot health, particularly in diabetics at risk for ulcers due to neuropathy and vascular issues. This study examines heel pad thickness in diabetics and non-diabetics with normal BMI.Materials and methods: It was a case-control study conducted in the University Ultrasound Clinic, Green Town, Lahore. The duration of the study was 7 months. A convenient sampling technique was used to collect the data. The study was conducted after the approval from the research ethical committee at the University of Lahore. The sample size was 132, of which 66 were diabetic and 66 were normal. Both males and females aged 16-80 years with normal BMI were included in this study. The study found that diabetic individuals had significantly thicker heel pads than non-diabetics.Results: For the left foot, the diabetic group had a mean thickness of 15.7 mm without compression and 12.4 mm with compression, versus 10.7 and 8.9 mm in the non-diabetic group. For the right foot, the diabetic group had mean thicknesses of 14.8 mm without compression and 12.6 mm with compression, compared to 10.8 and 9.2 mm in the non-diabetic group. All differences were statistically significant, with p values of 0.000.Conclusion: Individuals with diabetes had significantly thicker heel pads than non-diabetics, both with and without compression. Females consistently had thicker heel pads than males across all conditions. Identifying changes in heel pad thickness may contribute to the early detection of foot-related diabetic complications, even in individuals with a normal BMI.","PeriodicalId":15386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Ultrasound","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143987442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indices related to catheterization, complications of catheterization, and nutritional status before and after catheterization were used as observation indices.Results: The average catheterization time of the experimental group was shorter (21.28 ± 8.96 min), the success rate of one-time catheterization was significantly greater than that in the control group (93.3% vs. 80.0%), and the probability of catheter displacement/detachment was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (p < 0.05).

All patients received ultrasound-guided percutaneous thrombin injection. Fifty patients were successfully treated with a single injection (control group), while 10 patients required additional injections (experimental group). Baseline patient and pseudoaneurysm characteristics were compared between the two groups.Results: Ultrasound-guided percutaneous thrombin injection successfully treated all pseudoaneurysms. No statistically significant differences were observed between the experimental and control groups in terms of sex, age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, use of antiplatelet agents, parent artery involvement, maximum pseudoaneurysm diameter, ostium, or blood flow velocity at the ostium (p > 0.05). However, statistically significant differences were noted in aneurysm neck length and anticoagulant use (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Aneurysm neck length and anticoagulant use were identified as factors influencing the effectiveness of initial ultrasound-guided percutaneous thrombin injection for iatrogenic FPA. For patients experiencing treatment failure, additional thrombin injections yielded satisfactory outcomes; surgical repair can even be avoided. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous thrombin injection is proposed as a safe, minimally invasive, and effective treatment option for iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm, valued for its simplicity and repeatability.","PeriodicalId":15386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Ultrasound","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144026562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We evaluated various sonographic features of all nodules and analyzed the diagnostic efficiency of different vascularity patterns for FTC. Furthermore, independent predictors for FTC were screened using multivariable logistic regression. A nomogram was established to predict FTC, and various methods were used to evaluate the performance of the nomogram.Results: The firework-like pattern and central-grasp pattern were more likely to appear in the FTC (p < 0.001, p = 0.007), while the ring-like pattern was more likely to appear in the FBN (p < 0.001). The firework-like pattern showed the best performance in accuracy (71.2%) and NPV (73.4%) among other vascularity patterns. Besides, thick hypo-halo, ring-like pattern, central-grasp pattern, and firework-like pattern were four predictors used to construct the nomogram. The bootstrap AUC was 0.814 (95% CI: 0.743-0.884) which revealed the nomogram had accurate prediction accuracy.Conclusion: The firework-like pattern and central-grasp pattern were vascularity characteristics for FTC, while the ring-like pattern was for FBN. Besides, our nomogram based on novel vascularity characteristics can help distinguish FTC and FBN before operation.","PeriodicalId":15386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Ultrasound","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144020589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
