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.

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 ...

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,

The Role of Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Shear Wave Elastography in Pancreatic Diseases

Diagnostics
Elastography is a non-invasive imaging modality that has been developed for the evaluation of the stiffness of various organs. It is categorized into two main types: strain elastography and shear wave elastography.

An investigation of the functional significance of the pyramidalis muscle using shear wave elastography

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pyramidalis (Py) is a small triangular‐shaped anterior abdominal wall muscle, the function of which remains uncertain. We used shear wave elastography to test the hypothesis that Py contributes to stiffness of the linea alba. Our results indicate that Py contraction results in a significant increase in LA stiffness, supporting the previously ...

Stability Analysis in Magnetic Resonance Elastography II

, 2015
We consider the inverse problem of finding unknown elastic parameters from internal measurements of displacement fields for tissues. In the sequel to Ammari, Waters, Zhang (2015), we use pseudodifferential methods for the problem of recovering the shear ...

Cavitation induced shear wave elastography

Physics of Fluids
In cavitation induced shear wave elastography (CSWE), the stiffness of transparent soft matter can be imaged in the sub-millimeter scale through cavitation events. The shear wave is emitted by a laser-generated cavitation bubble expanding and collapsing close to a rigid boundary. The speed of shear wave is governed by the stiffness of the material. The

Association Between Degeneration of the Paraspinal Muscles and Nerve Root Compression in Lumbar Disc Herniation Patients Who Underwent Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Paraspinal muscle degeneration can have adverse effects on the function of patients with lumbar disc herniation and is associated with nerve root compression. The duration of LEP was positively related with FI of paraspinal muscles. The paraspinal muscle degeneration of LDH patients improved after PELD surgery.
