Sport and Exercise Research Unit, Department of Psychological, Pedagogical and Educational Sciences, University of Palermo.
Rationale: Calcific tendinopathy is one of the most frequent causes of nontraumatic shoulder pain. However, intra-articular calcifications appear to be an infrequent condition. We herein report a rare case study of an intra-articular calcification of the acromioclavicular joint.

Complications in the placement of central venous catheter (CVC) may occur in up to 20% of cases. The catheter can be misplaced in the contralateral brachiocephalic vein, the ipsi or controlateral internal jugular vein, and usually a chest X-ray is necessary to evaluate its location. We believe that the best technique, first described by Serafini et al, to establish the position of a CVC is the endocavitary electrocardiography (EC-ECG) and its employment is recommended in all uraemic patients requiring haemodialysis.

Department of Surgical, Anatomical and Oncological Science, University of Palermo, Italy.
Background: The aim of this work is to demonstrate the high effectiveness of preoperative diagnosis by echotomographic study of thyroid nodules through color-Doppler sonography integrated by B-mode. The authors performed both B-mode ultrasonography and color-Doppler sonography on 125 patients expecting total thyroidectomy surgical intervention, without a previous evaluation of a number of other already performed clinical and instrumental tests. After the intervention, we compared the histologic test with the data drawn from the ultrasound scan, in order to demonstrate that color-Doppler sonography is able to provide for additional diagnostic information in the preoperative period.

The importance of differential diagnosis of pleuriesy is expained by variability of the diseases accompanied by pleural exudate. 146 patients with various diseases accompanied by pleural exudate were examined: 39 from them had pleural empyema, 53--diffuse pleurisy, 42--incapsulated pleurisy, and 12--tumors of the pleura.

Vojnomedicinska akademija, Institut za radiologiju, Beograd.
Ultrasonographic examination of the gallbladder was performed in 2 patient groups: 20 volunteers (group I) and 20 patients with cholelithiasis (group II). Gallbladder volume was echotomographically measured before and after holagogue was administered. Dodd's ellipsoidal method was used for the elevation of gallbladder contractility.
