intraluminal small bowel hematoma has been rarely reported in children, as a rare cause of small bowel obstruction. we present a case of an intraluminal ileal hematoma presenting as small bowel obstruction in a child. computed tomography (ct) indicated a large intraluminal hyperdense lesion in the distal ileum as the cause of small bowel obstruction. abdominal ultrasonography (us) showed an ech...

conclusions our results indicate that changes in muscle thickness and echo intensity are induced by different inward pressures of the transducer during us. when using a technique that involves a handheld transducer, the examiner should attempt to maintain consistent inward pressure of the transducer during us, to quantify the minimal change of the rf mass and composition. results muscle thickne...

objective: to determine the sensivity and specifity of ocular ultrasonography in detecting vitreoretinal lesion prior to deep vitrectomy in patients with opaque media. method: the hospital records of patients undergoing deep vitrectomy in a defined period at shiraz khalili hospital were reviewed. sonographic reports given by a sonologist and operation reports given by a vitreoretinal fellowship...

conclusions the eo muscle was thinner and had higher activity during adim in the ais group. analysis of our data showed that in the ais group the higher the lumbar spinal curve to the right, the thicker the right tra compared to the left tra. results there was no side to side asymmetry in muscle thickness at rest and also during adim in two groups. thickness of right eo [0.39 (0.09) in the ais ...

background: this study aimed to compare the percentage of detection of periarthritis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis using clinical examination and ultrasound methods. materials and methods: this study is a cross?sectional study which was conducted in al?zahra hospital (isfahan, iran) during 2014–2015. in our study, ninety patients were selected based on the american college of rheumatolo...

introduction: screening of newborns with seizure, who have curable pathologic brain findings, might be able to improve their final outcome by accelerating treatment intervention. the present study aimed to evaluate the brain ultrasonography findings of newborns hospitalized with complaint of seizure. methods: the present cross-sectional study designed to evaluate brain ultrasonography findings ...

STUDY OBJECTIVE Compression ultrasonography of the lower extremity is an established method of detecting proximal lower extremity deep venous thrombosis when performed by a certified operator in a vascular laboratory. Our objective is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of bedside 2-point compression ultrasonography performed in the emergency department (ED) with portable vascular ultr...

BACKGROUND The standard diagnostic approach in patients with suspected deep vein thrombosis is to repeat the compression ultrasonography after 1 week in all patients with an initial normal result. We hypothesized that a normal finding of a D-dimer assay safely obviates the need for repeated ultrasonography. In addition, we evaluated the potential value of a pretest probability assessment for th...

Early detection of changes in the case of suspected purulent arthritis and osteomyelitis in infants can be difficult. Ultrasonography is the right imaging modality for making the final diagnosis early. The authors report on X-ray and ultrasonography findings of joints in 9 infants hospitalised in 19962000 with purulent arthritis and osteomyelitis (6 boys and 3 girls, average age 6.9 months). X-...

PURPOSE We investigated the effectiveness of tele-mentored ultrasonography between emergency medicine (EM) residents and remote experts in diagnosing acute appendicitis. METHODS This prospective observational study was performed in an academic emergency department. Beginning in June 2014, the EM residents performed the initial ultrasonography for suspected pediatric acute appendicitis; then, ...
