A Clinical Algorithm for Screening Compensated Advanced Chronic Liver Disease Utilizing Ultrasonography, Platelet Count, and Albumin Levels, With Transient Elastography as Reference.
Cureus
November 2024
Gastroenterology and Hepatology, New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton, GBR.
Background and aims Compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) refers to asymptomatic patients with advanced fibrosis who do not yet exhibit clinical or radiological signs of portal hypertension. Early detection of cACLD is essential for effective risk stratification and timely management, potentially preventing progression to more severe and irreversible stages of liver disease. Transient elastography (TE) is the primary diagnostic method for cACLD, with several diagnostic thresholds commonly used.

Department of Endocrinology, Mercy Hospital, Springfield, MO, United States.
Background: The management of benign symptomatic thyroid nodules until recent years has been limited to surgery, radioactive iodine treatment, or surveillance which is associated with the burden of morbidity of complications or symptom non-relief as well as cost. Laser ablation has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative, this uses laser energy to thermally ablate nodule tissue, leading to volume reduction and symptom relief. Long-term treatment response data is growing but remains limited in the United States.

Int J Sports Phys Ther
September 2024
Medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries are prevalent in sports and other physical activities and constitute a significant cause of knee pain and dysfunction. Traditional diagnostic modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are often utilized for their detailed visualization capabilities. However, musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK-US) has emerged as a pivotal diagnostic tool in the evaluation of MCL injuries due to its non-invasive nature, cost-effectiveness, and dynamic imaging capabilities.

Introduction: Ultrasound is gaining popularity for diagnosing scaphoid fractures. However, it hasn't been used to assess fracture displacement, such as humpback deformity. We propose a sonographic method to measure the intra-scaphoid angle, potentially serving as an alternative to CT scans for detecting fragment malposition after a scaphoid fracture.

Department of Obstetrics and Prenatal Medicine, University Hospital Bonn, Bonn, Germany.
Introduction: Prenatal lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) is a rare and challenging condition with potential severe morbidity and mortality. Prenatal shunting methods, specifically vesicoamniotic shunting (VAS) and fetal cystoscopy, aim to manage this condition. However, comprehensive education and training are hindered by the rarity of LUTO.
