For successful diagnosis of soft tissue injuries in the sport horse, localizing the area of injury during clinical and lameness evaluation will be followed in most cases by an ultrasonographic examination. With MRI more available in equine veterinary clinics, this modality can allow for a complete evaluation of soft tissue and osseous structures and is especially useful for evaluation of structures within the hoof capsule. This article discusses special ultrasonographic techniques, an overview of MRI image generation, and the use of contrast computed tomography for diagnosis of soft tissue injuries.

Odds of Metastatic Disease at Diagnosis of Primary Bone and Soft-Tissue Sarcomas of the Extremity and Pelvis Based on Preferred Language and Socioeconomic Factors.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
December 2024
From the Vagelos College of Physicians of Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, NY (Garcia), and Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, NY (Tyler).
Introduction: The odds of metastatic disease at diagnosis of bone (BS) and soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) of the extremities and pelvis may vary among patients due to several factors. There is limited research comparing the rates of metastatic disease at diagnosis in patients from different demographic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Methods: Patients with a primary BS or STS of the extremity or pelvis were identified using International Classification of Diseases codes.

Videofluoroscopy, recognized as the gold standard for dysphagia exploration, has inherent limitations, including poor soft tissue discrimination, radiation exposure, and aspiration risk. In response to these challenges, cine-MRI of swallowing has evolved over the past three decades, yielding diverse methodologies and results across various studies.This systematic review, conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, meticulously outlines cine-MRI protocols, applications, advantages, and limitations.

Canine extraskeletal osteosarcomas are mesenchymal, osteoid producing tumors that can arise in soft tissues without initial involvement of the bones. An 8-year-old intact male Beagle dog presented with anorexia, abdominal pain, intermittent vomiting and melena. The patient had a history of recurrent ingestion of cotton based-toy fragments, but no prior surgical procedures involving the abdominal cavity.

Objective: Staphylococcus aureus (SA), including methicillin-resistant strains (MRSAs), is a major cause of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) in military populations. This study investigated SSTI incidence and SA carriage in a military training site over 16 weeks using a prospective observational cohort design.
Methods: Two training cohorts provided pre- and post-training self-collected swabs for bacterial carriage, and environmental swabs from accommodations, personal items, and training facilities.
Management of Post-Traumatic Pseudomeningocele as Consequence of Root Nerve Avulsion: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Department of Neuroscience "Rita Levi Montalcini", University of Turin, 10126 Turin, Italy.
Background: Post-traumatic pseudomeningoceles are common findings after a brachial or lumbar plexus trauma, in particular after nerve root avulsion. Unlike meningoceles, pseudomeningoceles are CSF full-filled cysts confined by the paraspinous soft tissue, along the normal nerve course, in communication with the spinal subarachnoid spaces. Normally no more than a radiological finding at MRI, in rare instances they might be symptomatic due to their size or might constitute an obstacle during a reconstructive surgery.
