Real-world Outcomes of Ultrasonography-guided Interventions in a Tertiary Hospital.

Background: Intervention under ultrasonography (US) guidance has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. This study aimed to assess the treatment response to US-guided musculoskeletal interventions in daily practice.

Methods: This retrospective study sought to identify the treatment response to US-guided interventions in different tissues conducted between January 2017 and December 2018.

Successful treatment of unilateral neck pain with transforaminal epidural steroid injection on the left C3 nerve root: a case report.

In clinical practice, neck pain is one of the most common complaints. Although most of the cervical radicular pain is manifested in the neck and upper extremities, C3 or C4 radicular pain only results in neck pain. It does not produce upper extremity radiating pain.

Injury of Corticospinal tract and Corticoreticular pathway caused by high-voltage electrical shock: a case report.

Background: We imaged the corticospinal tract (CST) and corticoreticular pathway (CRP) using diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) to evaluate the cause of muscle weakness in a patient who was exposed to high-voltage electricity.

Case Presentation: A 39-year-old man presented with quadriparesis after high-voltage electrical shock from power lines while working about 5.8 years ago.

Ultrasonography-guided botulinum toxin injection to the cricopharyngeus muscle: a case report and technical notes.

Dysphagia associated with the cricopharyngeus muscle (CPm) dysfunction negatively influences the quality of life. This high-pressure region must relax and the lumen must open for smooth food passage. The CP muscle is therefore a common target of chemodenervation with botulinum toxin (BTX).

The Effectiveness of Pulsed Radiofrequency on Joint Pain: A Narrative Review.

Background: Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) stimulation has been safely and effectively applied for controlling various types of pain.

Purpose: We reviewed the literature on the efficacy of PRF for controlling pain in joint disorders.

Methods: We searched PubMed for papers published prior to September 7, 2019, that used PRF to treat pain due to joint disorders.

Ultrasonographic measurements of the metacarpophalangeal and talar cartilage thicknesses: A reliability study in healthy subjects.

Background: Assessment of the joint cartilage using ultrasound imaging is important.

Objective: Our aim was to investigate the reliabilities of ultrasonographic measurements for talus dome (TCT) and metacarpal cartilage thicknesses (MCT).

Methods: Twenty healthy volunteers were recruited in the study.

Sonographic tracking of the upper limb peripheral nerves: a pictorial essay and video demonstration.

Ultrasound has been the most useful imaging tool for musculoskeletal disorders whereby peripheral nerve lesions constitute a substantial portion. High-resolution ultrasound enables elaboration of peripheral nerve morphology and reciprocal anatomy. However, limited literature is available for delineating standard positions and tracking skills.
