Background: Corticosteroid injections are commonly used for the treatment of plantar fasciitis. In recent years, ultrasound-guided multipuncture treatment of the fascia has been described in the literature. Our study aimed to compare the effectiveness of these two techniques in the treatment of plantar fasciitis.

Introduction: With current technology, ultrasound imaging in remote conditions, such as the International Space Station, is performed with vocal guidance or using a teleoperated echograph controlled by an expert. Both methods require real-time communications between the novice operator and expert to locate the probe over the appropriate acoustic windows (AW). The current study presents the development and testing of a new augmented reality software (Echo-QR) that would allow novice operators (with no medical imaging background) to correctly locate the ultrasound probe over the AW of interest without expert assistance.

- - The study evaluated the usability of various technologies aimed at remotely assessing knee osteoarthritis by involving patients, caregivers, and clinicians in the evaluation process.
- - Eleven patients, caregivers, and clinicians tested devices like a wristband, an examination chair, a thermal camera, and a mobile app, filling out usability questionnaires.
- - All groups rated the technologies positively, with average usability scores around 8.5 to 8.8 out of 10, indicating high acceptability for these portable assessment tools.
Pubertal retroareolar cysts presenting as bluish lumps: New cases and literature review.
J Paediatr Child Health

Dermatology Unit, San Bortolo Hospital, Vicenza, Italy.
Retroareolar cysts (RCs) are a benign self-resolving condition primarily affecting pubertal individuals. However, their presentation as asymptomatic bluish areolar lumps remains underreported in the literature, with only six cases previously documented. This lack of awareness may lead to the oversight of RCs during diagnosis.

The usefulness of ultrasound for chest exploration was described in 1968. It was not until the 1990s, when its use became widespread in Intensive Care Units as a diagnostic, monitoring and procedural guide tool. The fact that it is a non-invasive tool, accessible at the bedside, with a sensitivity and specificity close to computerized tomography (CT) and with a short learning curve, have made it a mandatory technique in the management of critically ill patients.
