Abdominal POCUS Education for Clinicians: A Systematic Review of Teaching Methods for Point‐of‐Care Abdominal Ultrasonography

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 547-561, March/April 2025.
For patients to benefit from abdominal point‐of‐care ultrasound, the ultrasound examinator must be sufficiently trained. In this systematic review, we identified advantages and disadvantages of different training methods and approaches. We conclude that thoughtful integration of the various educational methods is crucial for stakeholders and educators.

Diagnosis by Resolution: Ultrasound Follow‐Up of Neonatal Polypoid Cystitis Mimicking Botryoid Rhabdomyosarcoma

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
In neonatal bladder masses, benign inflammatory conditions like polypoid cystitis can mimic malignancy on ultrasound. In stable neonates with evidence of infection, short‐interval ultrasound follow‐up after antibiotic therapy allows “diagnosis by resolution.” This conservative approach safely avoids unnecessary invasive procedures while maintaining ...

Noninvasive assessment of antenatal hydronephrosis in mice reveals a critical role for Robo2 in maintaining anti-reflux mechanism.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Antenatal hydronephrosis and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) are common renal tract birth defects. We recently showed that disruption of the Robo2 gene is associated with VUR in humans and antenatal hydronephrosis in knockout mice.

Diagnostic Performance of Ultrasound in Adult Appendicitis. A Retrospective Review of 331 Cases

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
The sensitivity of ultrasound in the detection of appendicitis had a prevalence of 16% in our predominantly young female cohort, with alternative gynaecological and abdominal diagnoses identified approximately 2:1. The sensitivity for ultrasound to detect appendicitis was 60%, with specificity of 98% and negative predictive value (NPV) of 93%.

Complaints Involving Sonographers: What Three Decades of Cases From A Public New Zealand Database Can Teach Us

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Health consumer complaints to the New Zealand Health and Disability Commissioner involving sonographers are rare, totalling 15 in the last 31 years and averaging 1.5 cases per year over the last decade. A large proportion of complaints involve an undetected finding, obstetric examination and private setting.

Neonatal giant hydronephrosis – a rare case report

African Journal of Urology, 2018
Introduction: Pelvi uretric junction obstruction (PUJO) is the most common cause of hydronephrosis in the neonatal period and is also the commonest cause of a palpable abdominal mass in a child. Giant hydronephrosis (GH) in a neonate is rare. Observation:

Renal screening sonography—A comparative study in a Portuguese basic emergency service

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 8-16, March 2025.
Renal sonography screening aids in clinical decision‐making for patients with suspected renal colic. This study intends to compare the accuracy and pertinence of sonographic findings obtained by a sonographer in a Basic Emergency Service (BES) with that of radiologists at Referral Hospital (RH) in Portugal. Renal sonography screening was able to detect

Soft Tissue Safety Assessment of Pulsed Solid‐State Thulium:YAG Versus Holmium:YAG Lasers: A Quantitative Porcine Model Simulation

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Laser lithotripsy carries an inevitable risk of collateral tissue injury. This study compared the safety profiles of pulsed Holmium:YAG and Thulium:YAG lasers by examining their effects on soft tissue under laser settings relevant to lithotripsy, using ex vivo porcine kidney models.
