Purpose: Shear wave elastography (SWE) provides a means for adding information about the mechanical properties of tissues to a diagnostic ultrasound examination. It is important to understand the physics and methods by which the measurements are made to aid interpretation of the results as they relate to disease processes.
Methods: The components of how ultrasound is used to generate shear waves and make measurements of the induced motion are reviewed.

Purpose: The goal of the study described in this protocol is to build a multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) model to predict abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) shrinkage 1 year after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).

Patients will be included if they underwent elective EVAR for infrarenal AAA with initial assisted technical success and had imaging available of the same modality preoperatively and at 1-year follow-up (CTA-CTA or US-US).

Introduction: Malaysia as an ethnically diverse country has a history of interethnic inequality and poverty which led to the development of different views about the existence of poverty. Among these ethnic groups, some sympathize with the poor and help them through different charity organizations. However, these charity organizations are mostly unaware of the target donors that can aid their charity funds.

In this article, we present eight studies published in the past two years that are likely to influence general practice in 2025. The key messages highlight the importance of physical activity in reducing cardiovascular risk, the effectiveness of aripiprazole for treatment-resistant depression, and the positive impact of guidelines on antibiotic use for acute cystitis. Furthermore, teleconsultation is more effective when supported by a pre-existing therapeutic relationship, extended leave reduces physician burnout, electronic cigarettes aid smoking cessation, and AI improves the management of electronic communications.
