Considering the growing role of ultrasound-guided procedures in musculoskeletal medicine, training as regards these interventions is pivotal. While hands-on training on cadavers can be considered optimal, it has several drawbacks, e.g., high cost, poor availability, and technical challenges regarding preservation. Apart from cadavers, different approaches to practicing needle guidance are taught in ultrasound workshops whereby phantoms from meat (e.g., chicken breast), cheese or gelatin are used. Likewise, this article aims to provide a detailed description as to how different gelatin-based phantoms can be prepared. In line with the EURO-MUSCULUS/USPRM (European Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Study Group/Ultrasound Study Group of the International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine) protocols/background, the authors describe particular basic and advanced phantoms to be used for practicing different technical/manual skills pertaining to common ultrasound-guided procedures. The present manuscript can be considered a practical and ready-to-use "recipe book" for readers who are interested in the wide spectrum of interventional ultrasound.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided local anesthetic injection combined with myofascial trigger point mini-needle knife therapy for acute lumbar sprain management.
Methods: In this prospective study, 60 patients (January-July 2024) received ultrasound-guided injections at the third lumbar (L3) transverse process attachment and posterior medial spinal nerve branch, combined with miniscalpel-needle release of MTrPs. Visual analog scale (VAS), modified Oswestry disability index (MODI), and lumbar range of motion (ROM) were assessed pre-treatment and on days 3 and 7 post-treatment.

Background: Heterotaxy syndrome is a rare congenital condition characterized by abnormal arrangement of thoracoabdominal organs, often associated with complex cardiac and splenic anomalies. Pheochromocytoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor that overproduces catecholamines, leading to various complications. The co-occurrence of heterotaxy syndrome and pheochromocytoma has not been previously reported.

Parathyroid ultrasound is widely used in clinical practice and plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid diseases. Nevertheless, ultrasound physicians frequently encounter a number of challenges and doubts in their professional practice. For this reason, Superficial Organs and Peripheral Vessels Committee of Chinese Association of Ultrasound in Medicine and Engineering has formulated the expert consensus on certain common clinical problems of parathyroid ultrasound based on the current research progress and clinical experience, in order to guide the clinical practice.

Objectives: Lung ultrasound (LU) is effective in diagnosing the accumulation of extravascular lung water and assessing real-time fluid status in infants following congenital cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. This study evaluated whether LU can be used as a prognostic marker for changes in noninvasive respiratory support after extubation.
Methods: Infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) <1 year of age requiring mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours postoperatively were included.
