The results of treatment of 21 patients, suffering nonparasitic hepatic cysts, using laparoscopic draining and puncture under ultrasonographic control, were analyzed. Minimal traumaticity of the intervention, absence of necessity to apply general anesthesia, low rate of postoperative morbidity (7.1%), reduction of duration of the patients stationary treatment down to (3.3 ± 0.61) days, reduction of economic wastes on the treatment constitute the advantages of such method.

Ultrasonographic assessment of optic nerve: does it help in lupus-induced optic neuropathy?
Lupus Sci Med
January 2025
Physical Medicine, Rheumatology & Rehabilitation, School of Medicine, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt.
Objective: Evaluating the potential role of neuromuscular ultrasonography (NMUS) in assessing optic nerve affection in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), compared with healthy controls and other conventional strategies in diagnosing optic neuropathy.
Methods: We conducted an observational cross-sectional study comparing patients with SLE and a healthy group. We measured the optic nerve diameter (OND) and optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and calculated the OND/ONSD ratio and side-to-side difference.
Relationship Between Carotid Artery Remodeling Characteristics and Early Carotid Atherosclerosis: An Ultrasonographic Multicenter Study.
J Ultrasound Med
January 2025
Department of Vascular Ultrasonography, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Objectives: This study analyzed carotid artery remodeling characteristics in early carotid atherosclerosis (ECAS).
Methods: The 1021 participants were evaluated using ultrasonography and categorized into three groups: Group A, 391 participants with increased intima-media thickness (IMT); Group B, 300 participants with atherosclerotic plaque only on the carotid bulb (CB); and the control group (330 participants). The ratios of the diameters in the CB to those in the common carotid artery (D) and internal carotid artery (D) were defined as carotid index1 (CI) and 2 (CI).
Preoperative ultrasound risk factors for peripartum hysterectomy among PAS suspected pregnancies.
BMC Pregnancy Childbirth
January 2025
Department of Obstetrics, Chengdu Women's and Children's Central Hospital, School of Medicine, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, No.1617, Riyue Avenue, Chengdu, Sichuan, 610091, China.
Objective: This study aimed to identify risk factors for peripartum hysterectomy among pregnancies complicated by suspected Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS) in preoperative obstetric imaging screening.
Methods: Data were retrospectively extracted from the Longitudinal Placenta Accreta Spectrum Study (LoPASS), covering pregnancies with PAS from January 2018 to March 2023 at our institute. Patients were divided into Control and Hysterectomy groups based on whether they underwent hysterectomy.
Ultrasonographic characteristics of masseter muscle myalgia: a comparative study.
Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol
December 2024
Faculty of Dentistry, Universidad Andres Bello, Viña del Mar, Chile.
Objective: To compare the ultrasonographic characteristics of masseter muscles in temporomandibular disorder (TMD) subjects with a diagnosis of myalgia of the masticatory muscles to a control population.
Method: In total, 45 TMD subjects with masseter muscle myalgia according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders were compared with 45 control subjects. The masseter muscles of each subject were examined by ultrasonography (US) to assess the quantitative characteristic of local cross-sectional dimension (LCSD) and the qualitative parameters of intramuscular ultrasonographic appearance, anechoic areas, and isoechogenic areas.
Clinical utility of quantitative ultrasonography parameters combined with serum cancer antigen 15‑3, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 and soluble E‑cadherin in diagnosing mass‑type breast cancer.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS), a newly developed imaging technique, holds certain value in differentiating benign from malignant tumors. Additionally, serum tumor markers also exhibit significant clinical importance in the diagnosis and monitoring of malignant tumors. Reports have indicated abnormal expression of HER-2, CA153 and sE-cad in breast cancer.
