Diagnostic ultrasound showed that the passing of the Watson capsule through the pylorus can be proved demonstrating its catheter within the pylorus. Only the biopsy itself has to be done under radiologic control which results in decreasing X-ray time from sometimes six minutes to a few seconds, usually less than one minute.

Regional anesthesia is a popular method for surgical anesthesia in clavicular surgery. Selective blocking of the cervical 3, 4, and 5 nerve roots shows promise in clavicle surgery, with its fast onset, good anesthesia and less complications, necessitating evaluation of its impact on diaphragmatic function. The purpose of this study is to examine the safety of C3, 4, and 5 nerve root block for its application in clavicle surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • Patellar tendinopathy, or jumper's knee, is a painful condition affecting athletes, prompting a study to evaluate the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments alone and combined with extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT).
  • The study involved 33 athletes randomly assigned to receive either PRP with sham treatment or PRP plus ESWT, with follow-ups over a year to assess pain reduction and functional improvements.
  • Results indicated that combining PRP with ESWT led to quicker pain relief and improved outcomes without causing discomfort or injury, supporting its effectiveness for treating chronic patellar tendinopathy in athletes.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to evaluate the detection frequency and anatomy of the duodenal papillae and related structures in cats, using ultrasound on 50 cats.
  • - The major duodenal papilla was detected in all cases, while the minor one appeared in 10%. Key dimensions of the anatomical structures were measured in clinically healthy cats.
  • - Findings suggest that ultrasound exams of duodenal papillae are straightforward and can be an essential part of diagnosing conditions in feline patients.

Background: Endothelial dysfunction is recognized as an early modification involved in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases. Evidence suggests that the Mediterranean Diet (MD) is associated with endothelial function improvement and, in turn, plays an important role in atherosclerosis development and progression.

Objectives: To evaluate both acute and sustained effects of the MD on endothelial function in patients with high cardiometabolic risk.
