In the following study, an easy and cost-effective bedside ultrasound method was developed and investigated for specific use in the intensive care unit (ICU).Methods: 22 patients (median age: 58.5 years, range: 37-88 years, 14 men and 8 women) with a total of 31 pleural effusions were examined in the ICU. The inclusion criterion was complete visualization of the effusion on chest computed tomography (CT). The ultrasound (US) examination was performed less than 6 h after the diagnostic CT scan. The pleural effusion volume was calculated volumetrically from the CT scan data. Within 4.58 +/- 2.87 h after the CT scan, all patients were re-examined with US in the ICU. The fluid crescent's thickness was measured between each intercostal space (ICS) with the patient in a supine position and a 30° inclination of the torso. The US measurements were compared to the calculated CT volumes using regression analysis, resulting in the following formula: V=13.330 x ICS6 (V=volume of the effusion [ml]; ICS6=sonographic measurement of the thickness of the liquid crescent [mm] in the sixth ICS).Results: A significant correlation between the sonographically measured and the CT-calculated volumes was best observed for the sixth ICS (R2=0.589; ICC=0.7469 with p<0.0001 and a 95% CI of 0.5364-0.8705).Conclusion: The sonographic assessment of pleural effusions in a supine position and a 30° inclination of the torso is feasible for the volumetric estimation of pleural effusion. This is especially true for ICU patients with severe primary diseases and orthopnea who are unable to sit upright or lie flat.","PeriodicalId":44852,"journal":{"name":"Ultrasound International Open","volume":"4 4","pages":"E131-E135"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1055/a-0747-6416","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36617890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rubinstein and Taybi originally described seven children with typical dysmorphic facial features, broad thumbs and toes, and varying degrees of mental retardation. The syndrome is associated with multiple systemic anomalies. The literature includes about a thousand reported cases since 1963. This condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, but the majority of cases are derived by de novo mutation. It may be caused by micro deletion within 16p13.3 or different mutations in the genes encoding the transcriptional coactivator CREB-binding protein and E1A-binding protein p300. The cytogenetic anomalies of RSTS remain unknown in about 37 % of patients. The diagnosis is based on clinical presentation during the early postnatal period (Spena S et al. J Pediatr Genet 2015; 4: 177-186). Only three cases of antenatal ultrasound diagnosis or detection have been reported to date.

It is harmless, can image almost all organs and systems, can be repeated as often as required, is portable, requires no patient preparation, is relatively inexpensive and guides diagnosis, treatment and follow-up without radiation exposure and harm to the patient. US is the only imaging technique which can be used in field settings to assess CE prevalence because it can be run even on solar power or a small generator in remote field locations. Thanks to US classifications, the concept of stage-specific treatments was introduced and because US is repeatable, the scientific community has gained a clearer understanding of the natural history of the disease. This paper reviews the scope of US in CE, describes its strengths and weaknesses compared to other imaging techniques and its relationship with serodiagnosis and discusses sonographic features that may be helpful in differential diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":44852,"journal":{"name":"Ultrasound International Open","volume":"4 3","pages":"E70-E78"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1055/a-0650-3807","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36621256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the European Society of Urogenital Radiology, the combination of testicular atrophy and testicular microlithiasis (TML) is a risk factor for testicular cancer. Testicular atrophy is defined as a volume of less than 12 ml. The aim of this study was to compare testicular volume in patients with TML to patients with normal testicular tissue.Materials and methods: From 2013 to 2015 we included a total of 91 adult patients with TML, and 91 adult patients with normal testicular tissue as a control group. All patients underwent scrotal B-mode ultrasound investigation including measurement of width, length and height in both testicles. Testicular volume was calculated using the formula π/6×length×height×width.Results: The median age for patients with TML was 48 years (range: 19-94 years), and 48 years (range: 20-75 years) in patients with normal tissue. No statistically significant difference was found between total testicular volume (both testes) >30 ml in patients with TML compared to patients without (OR 0.77 (95% CI 0.43-1.38, p=0.37). However, patients with TML tended to have lower testicular volume compared to patients without TML, when investigating testicular volume below 12 ml.Conclusion: Overall, no association was found between testicular volume and TML, but there was a trend indicating that severe atrophy is often seen in patients with TML compared to patients without TML.

Materials and Methods 64 patients with chronic venous disease were scanned with VFI and SDUS in the great or the small saphenous vein, and reflux velocities were compared to three assessment tools for chronic venous disease. A flow rig was used to assess the accuracy and precision of the two methods. Results The mean peak reflux velocities differed significantly (VFI: 47.4 cm/s vs. SDUS: 62.0 cm/s, p<0.001). No difference in absolute precision (p=0.18) nor relative precision (p=0.79) was found. No correlation to disease severity, according to assessment tools, was found for peak reflux velocities obtained with either method.

Fay Arch Neurol Psychiatry 1927; 18:309–15] as an atypical neuralgia consisting of pain and tenderness at the level of the carotid bifurcation. It was classified by the International Headache Society (IHS) in 1988 as a self-limiting syndrome comprising unilateral neck pain, tenderness over the carotid bifurcation, and absence of structural abnormalities, but was then removed in 2004 as a distinct disease since further research indicated that it should be regarded as a syndrome encompassing other distinct disease processes in the carotid region. Case reports [F. Comacchio et al. Acta Otorhinolaryngol Ital. 2012; 32(4): 266–9] have since described similar clinical presentations of neck pain and tenderness over the carotid bifurcation of unknown etiology, where patients undergo spontaneous remission, and imaging studies often agree on findings of perivascular inflammation, luminal integrity, and normal blood flow in the affected carotid [N. Kosaka et al. Eur Radiol. 2007;17(9):2430-3] supporting the existence of carotidynia as a distinct entity. We present a case report of carotidynia in a patient undergoing an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with non-myeloablative conditioning where ultrasound (US) examinations and computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed the above-mentioned findings.","PeriodicalId":44852,"journal":{"name":"Ultrasound International Open","volume":"4 3","pages":"E106-E108"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1055/a-0647-2330","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36604737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
