Understanding the Concept of Self‐Performed Ultrasound: A Scoping Review
Self‐performed ultrasound is an emerging technology that facilitates adept self‐scans in untrained hands. Inspired by self‐performed imaging in space for more prompt diagnosis and therapy, it has the potential to accurately monitor chronic conditions remotely. However, the lack of supervision and physical restraints can hinder its usability.

ABSTRACT Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder affecting intertriginous areas. Long‐standing HS can undergo malignant transformation into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), particularly in the perineal and gluteal regions. We report a 54‐year‐old man with severe, treatment‐refractory HS complicated by an aggressive verrucous

Dietary Patterns in Patients With Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Among 131 patients, 99 had mild‐to‐moderate hidradenitis suppurativa and 25 severe HS. The most reported diets were “healthy and varied” or “no specific diet”, and 11% practiced intermittent fasting. Patients with mild‐to‐moderate HS reported similar frequency of intake of cake/biscuits/sweets, fast food, fish, vegetables and wholegrain as patients ...

Transoral Ultrasound in the Diagnostic Workup of Peritonsillar Abscess—A Randomized Clinical Trial
Peritonsillar abscess frequently mimics peritonsillar cellulitis, exposing many patients to unnecessary and often painful blind needle aspirations. In this multicenter randomized clinical trial of 95 patients, adding transoral ultrasound to standard examination reduced needle aspiration attempts by nearly one third.
