Shear Wave Elastography to Assess Respiratory Muscle Function in Congenital Myopathies
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Respiratory muscle dysfunction is prevalent in congenital myopathies and often leads to respiratory failure. Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) measures tissue elasticity and has been proposed as an alternative to invasive measures of respiratory muscle contractility.

Topological analysis of the human lymph node reticular network predicts outcome in breast cancer
Abstract Axillary LNs (ALNs) initiate immune responses in breast cancer (BC) but how and when ALNs become dysfunctional, facilitating metastasis, is unclear. The fibroblastic reticular cell (FRC) network within ALNs provides structural support and mediates immune homeostasis, but we have yet to elucidate whether this network changes during BC ...

Roughness Measurements at Small and Uneven Surfaces of Ceramic Foam Filters
ABSTRACT This study investigated the possibility of roughness characterization of ceramic foam filters using a laser scanning microscope, examining the influence of magnification, measured area, cutoff wavelength (λc), measured roughness parameter, and position within the ceramic foam on the measured roughness data. Firstly, the effect of magnification

ABSTRACT Background Closed reduction of distal radius fractures is painful, and current analgesic strategies may be inadequate. Ultrasound‐guided lateral infraclavicular brachial plexus block may offer complete analgesia and muscle relaxation, potentially improving patient comfort and reduction quality.

ABSTRACT Cutaneous crystal‐storing histiocytosis (CSH) is an extremely rare histopathologic finding of histiocytes accumulating crystals of immunoglobulin or paraproteins, often associated with lymphoplasmacytic malignancies. It commonly presents in a wide age range of both female and male adults with a history of a lymphoproliferative disorder ...
