While conservative treatments are preferred, persistent symptoms may require image-guided injections. This study aims to determine the optimal hand positioning during ultrasound to maximize the distance between the scapula and thoracic wall, and improve its accessibility during injections.Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included ten healthy adult volunteers without scapulothoracic issues or history of trauma/surgery. Two musculoskeletal radiologists independently measured the scapulothoracic distance on Ultrasound in three hand positions: 1. Hands under the head; 2. Hands by the side of the trunk; and 3. Hands hanging by the side of the couch. Data was analyzed using SPSS 24.0. Continuous variables were described using mean and standard deviation (SD), with significance set at p < 0.05.Results: Measurements on 20 scapulothoracic articulations (10 volunteers) showed the following findings: Position 1: Baseline value of 1. Position 2: Distance increased by 1.515 mm ± 3.617 (95% CI [- 0.0178, 3.208]. Position 3: Distance increased by 2.175 mm ± 0.66 (95% CI [0.793, 3.557]. Statistical analysis indicated no significant difference (p = 0.39) between positions. However, both radiologists subjectively noted that positions 2 and 3 provided better access for interventions.Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of hand positioning in optimizing the scapulothoracic distance for therapeutic interventions. While no significant statistical differences were found, the results suggest potential benefits for clinical practice. Further research with larger samples is needed to establish evidence-based guidelines for scapulothoracic injections.","PeriodicalId":51528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ultrasound","volume":" ","pages":"841-845"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11496456/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142094173","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}

Nevertheless, gastro-intestinal ultrasound can be also used to detect and evaluate the content of several segments of the gut. In fact, there is a growing interest in utilizing GIUS for suspected functional disorders, where assessing intestinal content may play a significant diagnostic role, as well as directing therapy.

Ultrasound is the first line radiologic imaging performed in case of lymphadenopathy.

In this case, ultrasound was very useful in orienteering the diagnosis and insist on the medical history.

We report an uncommon case of EMG diagnosed by ultrasonography (USG) with a brief literature review. A 36-year-multipara presented at 8-weeks gestational age with severe abdominal pain and spotting. She underwent a spontaneous abortion 4 months back. Current transabdominal USG revealed a large right adnexal hydatidiform mole with moderate hemoperitoneum. Right ovary could not be discerned separately. Emergency laparotomy with hysterectomy and right adnexal clearance was done. Histopathology showed complete ectopic hydatidiform mole.

We report a rare case of metastatic melanoma in a 67 year-old male who presented with a painless, enlarging mass in the right axilla over a 4 week period. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans revealed a well-defined solitary, cystic appearing lesion in the right axilla with a distinct fluid-fluid level. An ultrasound guided biopsy of the lesion diagnosed a metastatic melanoma. While haemorrhagic distant metastases are a well-recognised complication of malignant melanoma, particularly in the brain and lung, soft tissue metastases presenting with fluid-fluid levels is not well described in the literature. The case highlights the importance of considering the differential of melanoma metastasis when encountered with such a lesion and importance of ultrasound guided biopsy for histopathological confirmation, as the imaging features can mimic that of a haemorrhagic soft tissue sarcoma, the management of which differs substantially from that of melanoma.","PeriodicalId":51528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ultrasound","volume":" ","pages":"907-910"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11496403/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139944684","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}

In this observational cross-sectional study, we aimed to determine the changes in ulnar nerve stiffness under valgus stress at different nerve entrapment sites.Methods: Twenty healthy baseball players participated in the study. The stiffness of the ulnar nerve on the throwing side was assessed at two sites, the arcade of Struthers and the Osborne's ligament, at 0°, 60°, and 90° flexion by shear wave elastography using a 10-MHz linear transducer. The arcade of Struthers was defined as the proximal site and the Osborne's ligament as the distal site. Valgus stress was applied to the medial elbow at 0, 30, 50, and 70 N using a Telos stress device, and the stiffness caused by valgus stress was measured.Results: At all elbow flexion angles, the stiffness of the ulnar nerve under 70 N valgus stress was higher than that under 30 N stress. The stiffness of the ulnar nerve at the proximal site was significantly higher than that at the distal site.Conclusion: Valgus stress increases ulnar nerve stiffness. In addition, the stiffness of the proximal site increases.","PeriodicalId":51528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ultrasound","volume":" ","pages":"895-902"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11496421/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141428281","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}

The obstetric anal sphincter injury was repaired and a four-dimensional transperineal ultrasound was performed after reparation and then one and three months after discharge. The woman did not experience any incontinence and no points of discontinuity were observed at tomographic ultrasound imaging reconstruction.
