Purpose: Ultrasound is becoming an essential tool for hand surgeons, but most of them are trained on the job, without any diploma or dedicated training. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of hand surgeons new to ultrasound to identify hand and wrist anatomical structures.
Methods: A monocentric study was conducted from January 2022 to April 2022.
Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (DD) is an initially asymptomatic condition that can progress to heart failure, either with preserved or reduced ejection fraction. As such, DD is a growing public health problem. Impaired relaxation, the first stage of DD, is associated with altered LV filling.

- - The study aimed to characterize a previously unreported ligamentous structure called the distal dorsal intermetacarpal ligament, which connects the metacarpal heads of the long fingers in the dorsal intermetacarpal spaces.
- - Twenty-five hands were dissected, revealing this ligament in every case, along with measurements taken for size and position, and analyses conducted via histology and ultrasound.
- - The results showed that this ligamentous structure stabilizes the metacarpal heads, particularly at the second and fourth spaces, by limiting excessive movement (hyperabduction).
Objectives: To determine a potential window of opportunity for retreatment with rituximab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from a multicentre longitudinal real-life study based on tight monitoring with ultrasonography (US).
Methods: Thirty RA patients treated with rituximab were included. US parameters were collected at each time (8 visits) of the 18-month follow-up, notably the global score of power Doppler (PD) activity.
