Shear Wave Elastography to Assess Respiratory Muscle Function in Congenital Myopathies

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
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.

What Are the Limitations of Measuring Bladder Compliance, As the Sole Indicator of Future Risk to the Upper Urinary Tract and Renal Function? ICI‐RS 2025

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Maintenance of bladder filling and urinary storage at low intravesical pressures is fundamental to minimizing risk to the upper urinary tract. Bladder compliance describes the relationship between the bladder volume and the change in detrusor pressure during the filling phase of urodynamics.

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma: Diagnosis and treatment

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Vascular endothelial growth factor‐C (VEGF‐C)/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor‐3 (VEGFR‐3) and angiopoietin‐2 (Ang‐2)/tyrosine kinase with immunoglobulin‐like and EGF‐like domain 2 (TIE2) signaling pathways play an important role in lymphangiogenesis.

Hepatic fibrosis: US elastography vs. MR elastography

Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2019
Hepatic fibrosis is final results of a wide variety of types of liver injury and is a consequence of all chronic liver diseases and progresses more or less rapidly towards cirrhosis, and finally cancer. In terms of the tools used to quantitate fibrosis today, there are three kinds of tools; biochemical markers, conventional imaging, and functional ...

Fast Quantitative Evaluation of the Amelioration Effect in MASLD During Semaglutide Treatment Using Ultrasound‐Derived Fat Fraction and Fat‐to‐Muscle Ratio

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a chronic liver disease. Research into a feasible, rapid, and effective assessment method is crucial for evaluating the therapeutic effects of semaglutide in MASLD. This prospective study utilized ultrasound‐derived fat fraction measurement and fat‐to‐muscle ratio to evaluate hepatic ...

From HBV to MASLD Cirrhosis: Mechanistic Insights and Therapeutic Strategies

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
This review examines the epidemiological shift from hepatitis B virus (HBV) to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) as the leading cause of cirrhosis globally. It highlights the distinct pathogenic mechanisms between HBV and MASLD cirrhosis and discusses evolving diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies tailored to the ...

Chinese Registry on Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunts (CN‐TIPS): Protocol for a Registry‐Based, Prospective Prognostic Study

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
CN‐TIPS is a nationwide, multicenter prospective registry that will enroll 10,000 adults with portal hypertension undergoing transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in China, integrating perioperative clinical and hemodynamic metrics with standardized imaging (including computational modeling in a dedicated subcohort) and multi‐omics biospecimens,

Microbubble‐Based Ultrasound Contrast Agents in Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasonography for Managing Portal Hypertension in Cirrhosis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
As the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) remains the current gold standard for diagnosing portal hypertension in cirrhosis, its clinical application is limited by invasiveness, high cost, and restricted availability. Given the urgent need for noninvasive techniques to dynamically monitor portal vein pressure (PVP), contrast‐enhanced ...

Imaging of Abdominal Complications in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common paediatric malignancy and remains one of the most common causes of cancer‐related death in children and adolescents. Five‐year overall survival rates now exceed 90% with current multidrug chemotherapeutic regimens. This improvement, coupled with the toxicity of chemotherapy, has led to the
