Ultrasound Assessment of Venous and Pulmonary Congestion in Left Ventricular Assist Devices Patients
Renal venous stasis index (RVI) of Doppler renal ultrasound index is the peripheral vein ultrasound associated with high right atrial pressure, and right displacement of the interatrial septum is the echocardiographic parameter associated with high pulmonary wedge pressure.

Ultrasound Diagnosis of COVID-19: Robustness and Explainability [PDF]
Diagnosis of COVID-19 at point of care is vital to the containment of the global pandemic. Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) provides rapid imagery of lungs to detect COVID-19 in patients in a repeatable and cost effective way. Previous work has used public datasets of POCUS videos to train an AI model for diagnosis that obtains high sensitivity. Due to

Misses and Near Misses in Paediatric Appendicitis: An Eight‐Year, Single‐Centre Retrospective Review
ABSTRACT Aim Diagnostic error can result in the appendectomy of a normal appendix, commonly known as negative appendectomy (NA). Missed appendicitis (MA) is related to a poor outcome. The aim of this study was to determine whether there are factors in presentation associated with NA or MA.

Trends in Point of Care Ultrasound Familiarity Among Undergraduate Medical Clerkship Educators
Objectives: Despite growing use of point of care ultrasound (POCUS), there remains a paucity of data about familiarity with POCUS among educators who dictate curricular content in undergraduate medical education.

Adaptive Few-Shot Learning PoC Ultrasound COVID-19 Diagnostic System [PDF]
This paper presents a novel ultrasound imaging point-of-care (PoC) COVID-19 diagnostic system. The adaptive visual diagnostics utilize few-shot learning (FSL) to generate encoded disease state models that are stored and classified using a dictionary of knowns.

Automatic Feature Detection in Lung Ultrasound Images using Wavelet and Radon Transforms [PDF]
Objective: Lung ultrasonography is a significant advance toward a harmless lung imagery system. This work has investigated the automatic localization of diagnostically significant features in lung ultrasound pictures which are Pleural line, A-lines, and B-lines.

Mapping Bullous Emphysema With Lung Ultrasound: A Prospective Multicentre Study
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Lung ultrasound holds high diagnostic performance for pleural diseases, notably pneumothorax. Bullous emphysema is a potential differential diagnosis of pneumothorax on ultrasound, but its precise semiology is poorly known.

Liver Lobe Torsion Following an Enterotomy for an Obstructive Foreign Body in a Puppy
Liver lobe torsion is rare in canine patients, with more than one lobe affected being even more scarce. Liver lobe torsion of one or more lobes was found as an immediate postoperative complication for an exploratory laparotomy with an enterotomy performed in a juvenile dog.

Fermat's dilemma: Why did he keep mum on infinitesimals? and the European theological context [PDF]
The first half of the 17th century was a time of intellectual ferment when wars of natural philosophy were echoes of religious wars, as we illustrate by a case study of an apparently innocuous mathematical technique called adequality pioneered by the honorable judge Pierre de Fermat, its relation to indivisibles, as well as to other hocus-pocus.
