Aim And Background: Ultrasound-guided arterial catheterization is a frequently performed procedure. Additional techniques such as acoustic shadowing-assisted ultrasound may be useful in improving success rate. This systematic review aimed to assess the efficacy of acoustic shadowing assisted ultrasound for arterial catheterization.
Materials And Methods: PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, EMCARE, and MedNar were searched in January 2024. Randomized controlled trials comparing the first attempt success rate of arterial catheterization using acoustic shadowing ultrasound vs unassisted ultrasound were included. Data were pooled for risk ratios (RRs) using the random-effects model. Subgroup analysis was conducted based on a single or double acoustic line. Sensitivity analysis was undertaken after excluding pediatric data. The certainty of evidence (COE) was assessed using the GRADE framework.
Results: Six randomized controlled trials ( = 777) were included. A meta-analysis found the first attempt success rate is significantly higher in the acoustic ultrasound group ( = 6, RR: 0.47, 95% CI: 0.34-0.66, ≤ 0.00001). Hematoma formation was significantly less in the acoustic ultrasound group ( = 6, RR: 0.52, 95% CI: 0.34-0.80, = 0.003). First attempt success was significantly higher in the single acoustic line ultrasound (USG) group compared to the unassisted ultrasound group ( = 3, RR: 0.41, 95% CI: 0.28-0.59, ≤ 0.00001). Sensitivity analysis after excluding pediatric data was similar to the primary analysis ( = 5, RR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.33-0.70, ≤ 0.00001). Certainty of evidence was "Moderate" for the first attempt cannulation.
Conclusions: Acoustic shadowing-assisted ultrasound improved first-attempt arterial catheterization success rate and was associated with reduced hematoma formation.

This study investigated the impact of bilateral bone conduction (BC) stimulation and sensorineural hearing loss on spatial release from masking, binaural intelligibility level difference, and lateralization. The study involved two groups of adults with mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss: one group of 21 participants with symmetric hearing loss and another group of nine participants with asymmetric hearing loss. All tests were conducted through BC and air conduction (AC) headsets with non-individualized virtual positions of the sound sources and linear amplification based on individual hearing thresholds.

Background: Ovarian cancer remains a leading cause of death among women, largely due to its asymptomatic early stages and high mortality when diagnosed late. Early detection significantly improves survival rates, and the Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System Ultrasound (O-RADS US) is currently the most commonly used method, but has limitations in specificity and accuracy. While O-RADS US has standardized reporting, its sensitivity can lead to the misdiagnosis of benign masses as malignant, resulting in overtreatment.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-evaluated tissue morphology on recurrence following drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for the treatment of femoropopliteal in-stent restenosis (FP-ISR).
Methods: This study was a single-center, retrospective, observational study. Study subjects were 65 FP-ISR lesions (mean lesion length: 165 ± 88 mm, occlusive restenosis: 25%) in 53 patients (age: 76 ± 8, diabetes mellitus: 66%) who underwent DCB angioplasty and whose IVUS data of tissue morphology were available.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how fine-needle aspiration biopsies (FNA) can lead to necrosis in thyroid tumors, making accurate diagnosis challenging, particularly in oncocytic tumors.
- It includes a cross-sectional analysis of patients from 2011 to 2023, focusing on those with thyroid nodules that exhibited complete or near-complete necrosis, comparing ultrasound (US) features of these cases to controls.
- Findings reveal that a "necrotic ring" on ultrasound shows high accuracy in predicting FNA-induced necrosis, especially when combined with a lack of blood flow within the nodule.
