The Question is: What are the indications for ultrasonography of the hip joint following trauma, except the investigation in children, and in which cases does ultrasonography provide a useful improvement within the diagnostic cascade? Considering the limitations in evaluation of boney structures and also soft tissues (due to anatomic topography) and if CT and MRI is not available, the moin indications are: Suspected soft tissue lesions (articular effusion, bursitis, muscle tears etc.) and vascular disorders (deep venous thromboses, vascular tears and occlusions). Both in preoperative planning and in postoperative follow up, ultrasonography provides useful information (e.g. after shunt surgery or as a screening method for venous thrombosis). There is also tho option for sonographically guide punction, drainage or even treatment (e.g. block anaesthesia). Performed by an experienced clinician, ultrasonography of the hip joint has a lot of indications to gain quick information. Using this non-invasive technique, demanding and invasive diagnostic investigations (for example phlebography) may even by saved.

Multivariable Analysis of the Association Between Lumbar and Lumbosacral MRI-Diagnosed Spinal Pathologies and Pain in Dogs.
Animals (Basel)
March 2025
Departamento de Medicina y Cirugía Animal, Facultad de Veterinaria, Universidad Cardenal Herrera-CEU, 46115 Valencia, Spain.
Lumbar and lumbosacral pain in dogs often involves multiple concurrent spinal pathologies, complicating the identification of primary pain generators. This study assessed the associations between MRI-diagnosed spinal pathologies and pain to provide clinically relevant insights for their diagnosis and management. MRI scans and clinical records of 518 client-owned dogs were retrospectively reviewed, documenting demographic data, pain status, and MRI findings.

Background: Hip dysplasia (HD) at skeletal maturity can result from residual developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) treated in childhood or from primary adolescent-onset HD (AOHD). This study aims to compare the pathomorphology of these two HD subtypes with that of a normal control group.
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed patients who underwent periacetabular osteotomy for symptomatic HD between 2013 and 2020.
Association of Diet and Waist-to-Hip Ratio With Brain Connectivity and Memory in Aging.

Department of Psychiatry, University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom.
Importance: Epidemiological studies suggest that lifestyle factors are associated with risk of dementia. However, few studies have examined the association of diet and waist to hip ratio (WHR) with hippocampus connectivity and cognitive health.
Objective: To ascertain how longitudinal changes in diet quality and WHR during midlife are associated with hippocampal connectivity and cognitive function in later life.
Fracture risk assessment based on FRAX scores and Polish guidelines in patients with newly diagnosed osteopaenia.

Introduction: A densitometric diagnosis of osteoporosis qualifies patients to a diagnostic-therapeutic process, but densitometric evaluation may not be sufficient for osteopaenic patients. Therefore, it is essential to assess osteoporosis risk factors, fracture history, and 10-year fracture risk, and classify patients into low-, medium-, high-, or very high-risk categories. In our study, we aimed to assess the risk of fractures in patients with newly diagnosed osteopaenia and determine the percentage of patients at high and very high risk of fracture.

Background: Although there is an interaction between sex, body fat distribution, and cardiac structure and function, these relationships have not been fully elucidated yet. This study aims to reveal the causal relationship between genetic determinants of fat distribution pattern and function of the left ventricular structure in different sexes.
Methods: Genetic variants for waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and body mass index (BMI) were selected from genome-wide association studies conducted in European samples.
