Such procedures require a dedicated ultrasound measurement and cannot be derived by plasma sample measurement alone. By focusing on the role of thrombus as a source of systemic mediator release, we have determined novel protein sets that have a specific utility for AAA growth prediction. Our ...
If a rAAA is suspected by clinical presentation or an abdominal ultrasound examination with evidence of an AAA, computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the aorta as quickly as possible is the diagnostic method of choice, as also recommended in the current ESVS guidelines [14], [15], [16]....
After the 30 patients were admitted to hospital, all of them underwent abdominal color ultrasound examination, vaginal color ultrasound examination and combined abdominal color ultrasound examination and vaginal color ultrasound examination. The results of these three examinations were compared with the ...
There is no recognised medical therapy for AAAs, with current management comprising regular ultrasound surveillance, until a diameter threshold is reached (typically 55 mm), at which point surgical repair is considered as the risk of aortic rupture is considered to be high for most patients [14]...
A good standardisation and dynamic evaluation by ultrasound of the abdominal wall is needed, as described by Beck et al. [51] as the dynamic abdominal sonography for hernia (DASH) technique. The difference in accuracy between physical examination and imaging technique is most important in the ...
The incidence, growth rate and size of aneurysmal expansion were measured by ultrasound (US) at 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after PPE infusion compared with sham (saline-infused) mice (Fig. 1a; Supplemen- tary Table 1 and Supplementary Fig. 1A,B). PPE-induced AAA size differed from ...
Compared with CT or ultrasound, MRI has a lower spatial resolution. High spatial resolution images on MRI have been attempted using various techniques, and they have shown better lesion conspicuity. However, there are inevitable drawbacks of aliasing artifacts and lowering the signal-to-noise ratio ...
Figure 1.Flowchart of participant recruitment and data collection. EMG: electromyography; USI: ultrasound imaging; NB: natural breathing; AD: abdominal drawing-in; AE: abdominal expansion. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) age between 20 and 50 years; (2) unilateral or bilateral pain...

We retrospectively collected all ultrasound imaging data of our thalassemia patients over a period of 10 years with the aim of assessing the prevalence and the risk factors of renal stones and cysts. Moreover, we assessed the incidence of renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) among thalassemia patients (133...
