Military Contributions to the Field of Medical Ultrasound.

Medical ultrasound is based on the same principle of the piezoelectric effect as sound navigation and ranging, used by the world's navies and maritime industry. Many of the early advances in sound navigation and ranging technology influenced landmark discoveries in diagnostic ultrasound made by military officers and defense department researchers.

Securing Your Radiology Practice: Evidence-Based Strategies for Radiologists Compiled From 10 Years of Cyberattacks and HIPAA Breaches Involving Medical Imaging.

While there is significant literature discussing physical and cybersecurity risks around health information technology in general, the number of publications that specifically address medical imaging is much smaller, and many of these focus on the technical security requirements for the exchange of medical images over public networks rather than practical guidelines for radiologists and technicians. This study examines the US Department of Health and Human Services database of reported breaches involving medical imaging from 2010-2020, identifies the most common contributing factors to those breaches, and offers recommendations for radiology practices to prevent each, based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines as well as measures proposed in the literature on health information technology.

Evidence-Based Nutritional Interventions in Wound Care.

Background: The role of nutritional intervention in wound care has been a topic of controversy. Although the efficacy of macronutrient supplementation has been well described, there is a paucity of evidence and no official recommendation regarding the use of vitamins and minerals to optimize wound healing. This is the first review of vitamin and mineral wound intervention that systematically summarizes the literature using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and distills the evidence by wound type.

Factors influencing the outcome of regenerative therapy in mandibular Class II furcations: Part I.

Background: Factors influencing the outcome of regenerative therapy of Class II furcations are incompletely and poorly understood. The purpose of this 24-month prospective study was to examine the relationship of patient-, site-, and treatment-related factors to the clinical closure of randomly selected mandibular Class II furcations. Results of therapy were evaluated at 1 and 2 years postoperatively.
