Diastasis recti in children - results of ultrasonographic study.

J Ultrason

December 2024

Department of Anatomy, Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Opole, Opole, Poland.

Aim: Diastasis recti is a common contour abnormality of the anterior abdominal wall, where an increased distance between the rectus abdominis muscles results in a visible or palpable bulge in this area. This study aimed to characterize this clinical entity in children.

Material And Methods: Anatomy of the rectus abdominis muscles and the linea alba, with a special focus on the interrectus distance (distance between two bellies of the rectus abdominis muscles), was studied using ultrasound.

Characterization of oral biomarkers during early healing at augmented dental implant sites.

J Periodontal Res

August 2024

Division of Periodontology, Department of Oral Medicine, Infection, and Immunity, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • The study looked at how certain proteins (biomarkers) that help with healing show up in the mouth after dental surgery using connective tissue grafts (CTG).
  • It involved 28 people who had single dental implants with soft tissue problems, and they were treated in two different ways (CAF and TUN) while checking their healing over 3 months.
  • Important findings showed that some healing proteins (VEGF and TIMP-2) reacted differently depending on the treatment method, and higher levels of these proteins at 7 days were linked to better recovery later on.

Objective: To determine the accuracy of ultrasound for diagnosing hip luxation in dogs presenting for hind limb lameness.

Methods: 24 client-owned dogs presenting with pelvic limb lameness and concern for hip luxation were enrolled in this prospective diagnostic accuracy study from April 1, 2021, to July 1, 2022. An experienced ultrasonographer and a novice ultrasonographer, both masked to the diagnoses, performed hip ultrasonography using a point-of-care ultrasound machine.

Article Synopsis
  • Medical students and residents need to learn cross-sectional anatomy for ultrasonography (US), but current materials are lacking.
  • This study created a valuable reference by comparing US images of a volunteer's upper limb with high-resolution, sectioned images from the Visible Korean project to identify anatomical structures.
  • The results produced a detailed atlas of 28 US and sectioned images, marking 59 structures from the shoulder to the fingers, demonstrating the effectiveness of using these sectioned images for clearer understanding of anatomy in US training.

Soft tissue elasticity at teeth and implant sites. A novel outcome measure of the soft tissue phenotype.

J Periodontal Res

December 2024

Department of Oral Medicine, Infection, and Immunity, Division of Periodontology, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Aim: To assess ultrasonographic tissue elasticity at teeth and implant sites and its variation after peri-implant soft tissue augmentation with a connective tissue graft (CTG).

Methods: Twenty-eight patients, each contributing with one clinically healthy dental implant exhibiting a soft tissue dehiscence (PSTD), were included. Implant sites were augmented with CTG and monitored over 12 months.
