: The aim of this study was to investigate how meniscal extrusion, assessed either with ultrasounds or magnetic resonance (MR), correlates with clinical symptoms in knee osteoarthritis (OA). One hundred patients with symptomatic knee OA were enrolled (60.3 ± 9.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to measure meniscal extrusion in knee osteoarthritis patients using ultrasound in both supine and standing positions, then compare these results to magnetic resonance imaging findings.
- Involving 60 patients, the study found that ultrasound provided higher measurements of medial and lateral meniscal extrusion while standing, compared to both supine ultrasound and MRI.
- The results indicated that ultrasound is more effective than MRI for quantifying meniscal extrusion, particularly highlighting the significance of measuring in weight-bearing positions for accurate assessment.
Non-invasive estimation of vascular compliance and distensibility in the arm vessels: a novel ultrasound-based protocol.

Background: Performance and durability of arterio-venous grafts depend on their ability to mimic the mechanical behavior of the anastomized blood vessels. To select the most suitable synthetic graft, evaluation of the radial deformability of peripheral arteries and veins could be crucial; however, a standardized non-invasive strategy is still missing. Herein, we sought to define a novel and user-friendly clinical protocol for assessment of the arm vessel deformability.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can be painful and cause functional limitations and bone changes. Deeper clinical knowledge of the pathologies related to the TMJ has always been hindered by the difficult identification of the causes that limit its movement. Weight-bearing magnetic resonance imaging (WBMRI) can reproduce the articular movement in orthostasis and allows the evaluation of joint movement.

Background: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) has high prevalence in frail older adults. However, its effect on mortality, disability, and hospitalization in frail older adults is poorly investigated. Thus, we assessed the relationship between the prevalence of OH and its effect on mortality, disability, and hospitalization in noninstitutionalized older adults stratified by frailty degree.
