He was a heavy smoker affected by hypertension and dyslipidemia. An endocrinology resident and ultrasound trainee started the exam accidentally from the epigastrium and found a fusiform aneurysmal lesion. Subsequent computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed the diagnosis of AAA and incidentally revealed a colon adenocarcinoma and a diffuse non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This case report underlines the importance of extending the abdominal US examination to the aorta in patients over 60 years of age (especially in those people with multiple risk factors for AAA) and emphasizes the critical role of organizing hands-on-patient US courses with a multidisciplinary approach to optimize the training of future sonographers.","PeriodicalId":51528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ultrasound","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142873198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We compared sonographic findings between patients with and without necrotizing fasciitis.Methods: In 21 pediatric patients, the presence or absence of abnormal T2-high signal intensity in subcutaneous fat, peripheral deep fascia, intermuscular fascia, and muscle was recorded. The extent of the disease based on ultrasound findings was recorded according to the previous locations. The vascular lumen within the affected muscle was also evaluated. Patients were classified into two groups: those with necrotizing fasciitis and those without. The presence/absence of sonographic findings and width of fluid accumulation in the peripheral deep fascia was compared between the two groups.Results: Three patients were classified into the necrotizing fasciitis group. The ultrasound diagnostic performance for abnormal findings in subcutaneous fat/peripheral deep fascia/ intermuscular fascia/muscle was 90.5%/76.2%/47.6%/90.5%, respectively. The presence/absence of abnormal findings in peripheral deep fascial edema, its width and vascular lumen collapse were significantly different between the two groups.

The use of Lung Ultrasound (LUS) is an emerging method of assessing the hydric status of hemodialysis patients. LUS combined with Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) ultrasonography can define the fluid status in hemodialysis patients.Methods: This study included 68 hemodialysis patients from the Dialysis Unit of Papageorgiou General Hospital in Thessaloniki. The patients underwent lung and IVC ultrasound 30 min before and after the end of the dialysis session by a nephrology trainee. Patients' ideal weight was modified based on daily clinical practice rather than ultrasound findings. The presence of B lines and ultrasound findings of the IVC were evaluated.Results: The average B line score was 11.53 ± 5.02 before dialysis and became 5.57 ± 3.14 after the session. The average diameter of the IVC was 14.266 ± 0.846 mm before dialysis and 12.328 ± 0.879 mm after the session. The patients were categorized based on the magnitude of overhydration and the findings were evaluated. In addition, findings after the session showed a statistically significant correlation between the b line score and the diameter of the IVC adjusted for the body surface area. (p = 0.009 < 0.05).Conclusions: A high rate of hyperhydration was detected before the dialysis session (25%). While it is the first study conducted by a nephrology trainee highlighting that it is a feasible technique. Intervention studies should be carried out in the future to draw more precise conclusions.","PeriodicalId":51528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ultrasound","volume":" ","pages":"887-894"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11496488/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141312315","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}

This study was designed to evaluate a venous thrombus in dogs, from creation to solution, by means of various ultrasonographic techniques. Nine healthy Beagle dogs were included in the study. The venous thrombus was formatted by puncturing the lumen of the external jugular veins and then, the veins were examined with B-mode, color Doppler, pulsed-wave Doppler, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) techniques, at regular intervals, within 210-270 min after venipuncture. Haemodynamic parameters were calculated at two different locations, before and after the site of the thrombus formation. The existence of a thrombus was confirmed by CEUS technique. Thrombus volume and echogenicity were evaluated. The results showed that the visualization of the venous thrombus by color Doppler modality was not feasible in some veins. The blood volume was the parameter that could more precisely indicate the presence or absence of a thrombus. In cases where thrombus volume was less than 0.001 cm3, it was impossible to detect its presence using haemodynamic parameters. The CEUS imaging depicted accurately the size and shape of an anechoic venous thrombus, even when its volume was 0.001cm3.","PeriodicalId":51528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ultrasound","volume":" ","pages":"813-823"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11496430/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141894880","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}

While magnetic resonance imaging is the cornerstone of shoulder imaging, sonography is readily available, practical and superior in its ability for dynamic assessment of musculoskeletal pathologies. The subscapularis, teres major and latissimus dorsi muscles are commonly involved in a myriad of pathology including myofascial pain and spasticity. There is scarce literature on the assessment of these muscles for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Conventional approaches to shoulder ultrasound have not included a dedicated assessment of the subscapularis muscle due to its inherent anatomical location deep to the scapular blade which blocks sound wave penetration. We describe an approach to visualizing the subscapularis muscle as a short addition to the established shoulder sonography format, which also permits assessment of both the latissimus dorsi and teres major muscles, which are important muscles for shoulder spasticity. The patient is imaged in a semi-recumbent position with the arms elevated above and behind the head in the ABduction and External Rotation (ABER) position. The relative ease of positioning and sonographic access to the musculature coupled with the potential for assessment and intervention makes this approach extremely desirable to the musculoskeletal practitioner looking to diagnose or treat muscle belly pathologies of the subscapularis, teres major or latissimus dorsi.","PeriodicalId":51528,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ultrasound","volume":" ","pages":"963-968"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11496416/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141914539","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}
