Endobronchial ultrasound elastography

Endoscopic Ultrasound, 2016
Elastographic techniques have recently become available as advanced diagnostic tools for tissue characterization. Strain elastography is a real-time technique used with transcutaneous ultrasound (US) and endoscopic US. Convincing evidence is available demonstrating a significant value of strain elastography for the discrimination of benign and ...

Nuclear Mechanotransduction Across the Metastatic Cascade: Decoding Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity in Cancer Dissemination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tumor metastasis results from complex interactions between cancer cells and mechanical microenvironments. We propose a “nucleus‐centered, cross‐stage mechanical signal decoding” model, highlighting how nuclear mechanosensors interpret forces at different stages.

Diagnosis of Thyroid Nodules by Elastography

Journal of Surgical Ultrasound, 2021
Ultrasonography is mandatory for the evaluation of thyroid nodules. Although B-mode and Doppler ultrasonography are both sensitive for the diagnosis of thyroid lesions, they lack specificity in differentiating benign from malignant nodules.

Sono‐Mechanogenetics: Linking Ultrasound Physics With Cellular Mechanobiology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sono‐mechanogenetics links ultrasound physics with cellular mechanotransduction to enable noninvasive control of engineered biological systems. Acoustic forces generate distinct deformation modes that activate intracellular signaling pathways, which can be coupled to synthetic gene circuits to regulate diverse cellular functions, including gene ...

Ultrasound elastography: compression elastography and shear-wave elastography in the assessment of tendon injury [PDF]

Insights into Imaging, 2018
Ultrasound elastography (USE) is a recent technology that has experienced major developments in the past two decades. The assessment of the main mechanical properties of tissues can be made with this technology by characterisation of their response to stress.

Association Between Liver Function Grade and Post‐Hepatectomy Liver Failure in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Latent Class Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from patients who underwent hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using LCA‐based grading system. These findings provide a new risk stratification framework for the design of precision surgery to treat patients with HCC.

A Physics Constrained Machine Learning Pipeline for Young's Modulus Prediction in Multimaterial Hyperelastic Cylinders Guided by Contact Mechanics

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A physics‐guided machine learning framework estimates Young's modulus in multilayered multimaterial hyperelastic cylinders using contact mechanics. A semiempirical stiffness law is embedded into a custom neural network, ensuring physically consistent predictions. Validation against experimental and numerical data on C.

Qualitative ultrasound elastography assessment of benign thyroid nodules: Patterns and intra-observer acquisition variability

Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2013
Purpose: To report and evaluate qualitative elastography patterns by using gray-scale and Doppler ultrasound (US) in patients presenting with benign thyroid nodules and to evaluate the reproducibility of US elastography examinations.

Diagnostic performance of ARFI ultrasound elastography in spleen stiffness measurement to predict esophageal varices [PDF]

Al Ameen Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022
Background: Presence esophageal varices are an independent predictor of mortality in patients with cirrhosis. Non-invasive assessment of cirrhotic patients to predict esophageal varices have been increasingly used instead of endoscopy.

Long‐term impact of Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/ivacaftor on pulmonary, nutritional and metabolic outcomes in homozygous F508del cystic fibrosis patients: A real‐world cohort study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) has markedly improved cystic fibrosis (CF) outcomes. However, its long‐term impact on nutrition, metabolism and liver health remains underexplored. We assessed 30‐month changes in pulmonary, nutritional, metabolic and inflammatory markers in people with CF (PwCF) homozygous for F508del.
