Family-Centered Care and Collaboration: A Scoping Review of Medical Guidance for Parental Substance Use.

Background: A significant proportion of US families are affected by substance use disorders. Both child- and adult- serving systems are called upon to care for families, yet the disciplines involved inherently have different priorities, preventing a true family-centered care model.

Objectives: The purpose of the scoping review was to explore the alignment of current national guidance related to the medical care of families affected by substance use disorders (SUD).

Elastography of nerves in the wrists of cyclists.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate changes in the elasticity of the median and ulnar nerves in cyclists.

Material And Methods: The study included 30 cyclists and 2 non-biking reference groups that included 32 healthy volunteers and 32 individuals with ulnar nerve entrapment neuropathies. All participants underwent physical, ultrasonographic, and elastographic examinations including assessment of nerve cross-sectional area (CSA) and stiffness (SWE).

Nursemaid's elbow: Radial head subluxation injuries in children.

Radial head subluxation, or nursemaid's elbow, is a common orthopedic complaint in children and often is the result of a pulling injury to the affected arm. Although this injury largely is a clinical diagnosis, different imaging modalities may be used to identify it and confirm successful reduction. Multiple manipulative techniques can be used to treat this injury and methods are generally specific to clinician preference.

The elastography of distal ulnar nerve branches in cyclists.

Introduction: Forced elbow flexion and pressure during bicycling result in ulnar nerve traction and pressure exerted in Guyon's canal or the nerve's distal branches. The compression of the nerves causes a change in their stiffness related to edema and eventually gradual fibrosis.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the elastography of terminal branches of the ulnar nerve in cyclists.

Applicability of shear wave elastography for lacrimal gland evaluation in primary Sjögren syndrome.

Introduction: Primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease that mainly affects the salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to their progressive destruction.

Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to verify whether shear wave elastography (SWE) of the lacrimal glands can be used to differentiate patients with pSS from healthy controls. The secondary aim was to assess whether there are any associations between SWE values, results of other ocular tests included in pSS diagnosis (the Schirmer test, ocular staining score [OSS]), and subjective symptoms of eye dryness.
