Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are one of the most common sports injuries, accounting for approximately 50% of knee-related injuries. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), in the form of the radial (R-SWT) or focused shockwave (F-SWT), has been shown effective in treating various orthopaedic conditions. Recently, studies have investigated whether ESWT combined with standard rehabilitation may improve outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Purpose: In magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) breast therapies, the focal location must be characterized to guide successful treatment. Focal characterization is difficult because heterogeneous breast tissues introduce phase aberrations that blur and shift the focus and traditional guidance methods do not work in adipose tissues. The purpose of this work is to evaluate numerical simulations of MRgFUS that predict the focal location.

Suzhou Medical College of Soochow University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound for the preoperative prediction of nonperfused volume ratio (NPVR) in uterine fibroids after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation.
Materials And Methods: In total, 178 patients who had undergone HIFU ablation therapy for uterine fibroids between July 2021 and August 2023 were enrolled. Baseline clinical, MRI, and 3D ultrasound parameters collected before and after HIFU ablation were analyzed.
A prospective observational study on intracranial pressure management: A comparison of three ultrasound techniques.

Objective: This prospective observational study aimed to assess the effectiveness of B-mode ultrasound, color-coded Doppler, and shear-wave elastography in predicting intracranial pressure (ICP) and their capability to evaluate the efficacy of ICP lowering therapy.
Materials And Methods: Forty-eight neuro-critical care patients were enrolled and categorized into 2 groups based on ICP measurements obtained through external ventricular drainage: the intracranial hypertension (IH) and normal ICP groups. The optic nerve (ON) sheath diameter (ONSD), end diastolic velocity, peak systolic velocity, resistance index of the central retinal artery (CRA), and Young's modulus (YM) of the ON were recorded after external ventricular drainage placement and following ICP lowering treatment in the IH group.
Surface Bi-vacancy and corona polarization engineered nanosheets with sonopiezocatalytic antibacterial activity for wound healing.

Department of Medical Ultrasound, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610041, People's Republic of China.
Piezocatalytic therapy is an emerging therapeutic strategy for eradicating drug-resistant bacteria, but suffers from insufficient piezoelectricity and catalytic active site availability. Herein, Bi-vacancies (BiV) and corona polarization were introduced to BiOBr nanosheets to create a BiOBr-BiVP nanoplatform for piezocatalytic antibacterial therapy. This meticulously tailored strategy strengthens the built-in electric field of nanosheets, enhancing piezoelectric potential and charge density and boosting charge separation and migration efficiency.
