Background/objectives: Lymphedema, a common source of disability among oncology patients, necessitates continuous targeted rehabilitation. Recent studies have revealed the role of connective tissue in this pathology; however, despite existing research on ultrasound (US) use in lymphedema, no studies have specifically addressed the use of ultrasound to assess fasciae in patients with lymphedema. This study aims to provide a more objective characterization of typical US alterations in these patients by quantifying the thickness of superficial and deep fasciae and comparing them with those of healthy volunteers.

The host immune response to SARS-CoV-2 seems to play a key role in disease pathogenesis and clinical manifestations, with Natural Killer (NK) lymphocytes being among the targets of virus-induced regulation.
Methods: This study performed a single-cell multi-omics analysis of transcripts and proteins of NK lymphocytes in COVID-19 patients, for the characterization of the innate immunological response to infection.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers have focused on fascias in recent years, particularly their anatomy and related diseases, using advanced imaging techniques like ultrasound (US) and MRI for better insights.
- This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using US-guided core needle biopsy to sample fascial tissues from various regions in cadavers, assessing visibility, accuracy, and the reliability of needle placements.
- Results showed that US-guided biopsies are consistent and reliable, successfully capturing high-quality tissue samples, which could aid in diagnosing conditions like eosinophilic fasciitis.
