Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injections in masseter muscle can alleviate muscle tightness and aching pain caused by idiopathic masticatory myalgia, a subform of the myofascial pain syndrome. Yet the injection procedure (number, amount) is currently empirical. In this ex vivo study, we determined the feasibility of using contrast-free ultrasound imaging to visualize the short-term injectate propagation.

Introduction: In forensic pathology, only trauma systems based on disintegration of anatomic structure of organs and tissues, could be used for objectivization, comparison and establishing of severity of injuries. Trauma systems based on pathophysiological values are useless. The Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) and its derivate Injury Severity Score (ISS) are the most common.

Intima-media thickness (IMT) measurements have gained increasing attention, because IMT is assumed to represent the endothelial adaptive response to physiological and pathophysiological processes. The main aim of the present study was to assess the intrasubject intrasession variability of a new off-line automated radio frequency (RF) IMT method in comparison with an already established off-line manual B-mode IMT method. IMT also was assessed by means of an on-line manual B-mode and an on-line manual RF IMT method.
