Background/aim: The purpose of this study is to investigate the prognostic significance of lower uterine segment (LUS) involvement in endometrial cancer (EC).
Materials And Methods: We reviewed the patients who were operated at our institution between July 2007 and March 2015 with the diagnosis of EC. Tumors localized in the corpus and involving the LUS or localized entirely in the LUS formed Group A, while tumors in the uterine corpus without LUS involvement formed Group B. Clinicopathological characteristics and survival of the patients were compared in both groups.
Results: A total of 500 patients were included in the study. There were 139 patients who had tumors involving the LUS and formed Group A, while 361 patients with endometrial tumors in the uterine corpus without LUS involvement formed Group B. We did not detect a significant difference between survival of the patients in group A and group B (78 months vs. 87 months, respectively; P > 0.05).
Conclusion: We found that LUS involvement was not an independent prognostic factor for poor survival, but it is associated with other poor prognostic factors such as deep myometrial invasion, uterine serosal involvement, lymphovascular space invasion, lymph node metastasis and higher FIGO grade.

Background: This study aims to compare Lung Ultrasound (LUS) findings with High-Resolution Computerized Tomography (HRCT) and Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) to detect the severity of lung involvement in patients with Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP) and Non-Specific Interstitial Pneumonia (NSIP).
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 35 UIP and 30 NSIP patients at a referral hospital. All patients underwent LUS, HRCT, and PFT.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemia, the imaging test of choice to diagnose COVID-19 pneumonia as chest computed tomography (CT). However, access was limited in the hospital setting and patients treated in Primary Care (PC) could only access the chest x-ray as an imaging test. Several scientific articles that demonstrated the sensitivity of lung ultrasound, being superior to chest x-ray [Cleverley J et al.

Lung ultrasound (LUS) has gained popularity due to its portability and absence of ionizing radiation. This study evaluates LUS's accuracy compared to CXR in diagnosing pneumonia in children.

Background: The screening strategy for interstitial lung disease (ILD) in rheumatoid arthritis patients is currently debated. While high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is the gold standard for diagnosing ILD, its systematic use as a screening tool is not yet recommended. The role of lung ultrasound (LUS) in assessing ILD has been previously explored.

Article Synopsis
- Spasticity and muscle weakness significantly impact people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS), especially in their lower limbs, leading to motor issues, fatigue, and fall risks.
- The study aimed to explore the patterns of muscle weakness and spasticity in pwMS to enhance the focus on their functional balance prior to treatment.
- Data from 300 pwMS revealed asymmetrical symptoms, with various prevalent combinations, notably "distal-intermediate spasticity and diffuse weakness," aiding in better clinical assessment and treatment planning.*
