Aims: Image-based, patient-specific rupture risk analysis of AAAs is promising but it is limited by invasive and costly imaging modalities. Ultrasound (US) offers a safe, more affordable alternative, allowing multiple assessments during follow-up and enabling longitudinal studies on AAA rupture risk.
Methods And Results: This study used time-resolved three-dimensional US to assess AAA rupture risk parameters over time, based on vessel and intraluminal thrombus (ILT) geometry.
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants escaping immunity challenges the efficacy of current vaccines. Here, we investigated humoral recall responses and vaccine-mediated protection in Syrian hamsters immunized with the third-generation Comirnaty Omicron XBB.1.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the prevalence of off-label prescribing in outpatient forensic treatment, revealing that 72.0% of prescriptions were off-label.
- More than half (51.4%) of these off-label prescriptions were informed by existing guidelines and formularies, while 20.6% were not.
- A significant finding was that in 84.7% of the cases where off-label prescriptions did not follow guidelines, pharmacists were not consulted prior to prescribing.
This study demonstrates high volume rate bistatic 3-D vascular strain imaging, to overcome well-known challenges caused by the anisotropic resolution and contrast inherent to ultrasound imaging. Approach. Using two synchronized 32x32 element matrix arrays (3.

This study aimed to replicate previously identified associations between nine modifiable prognostic factors and high societal costs among people on sick leave due to musculoskeletal disorders.
Methods: Pooled data from a three-arm randomised controlled trial with 6 months of follow-up were used, including 509 participants on sick leave due to musculoskeletal disorders in Norway.
