Diagnostic accuracy of shear wave elastography in evaluating renal fibrosis in children with chronic kidney disease: a comparative study with nuclear scan

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2023
Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant health issue in pediatric patients due to fibrosis progression. Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a noninvasive technique used to assess fibrosis in CKD, but its efficacy needs to be better ...

Mechanical Stimuli‐Induced Manipulation of Malignant Behavior in Bioprinted Cancer Microtissues via PI3K/NF‐κB Activation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A mechanically tunable ECM platform is created by integrating dECM–alginate matrices with in‐bath tumor printing. The mechanically tunable ECM environment drives tumors to acquire hypoxia, mechanotransduction signaling, metastatic traits, and drug‐resistant phenotypes that collectively promote malignant transformation.

Advancing the Tendinopathy Triad: Comment on “Tendinopathy: The Interplay Between Mechanical Stress, Inflammation, and Vascularity”

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Building upon the integrative framework of tendinopathy proposed by Gehwolf et al.—which elegantly connects mechanical stress, inflammation, and vascularity—this commentary extends the discussion by introducing novel mechanistic insights and future research directions that move beyond the established triad. A paradigm shift is proposed ...

Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography in Cardiology

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging
The advent of high-frame rate imaging in ultrasound allowed the development of shear wave elastography as a noninvasive alternative for myocardial stiffness assessment. It measures mechanical waves propagating along the cardiac wall with speeds that are related to stiffness.

How to perform shear wave elastography. Part II

Medical Ultrasonography, 2022
Recently a series of papers was introduced describing on “how to do” certain techniques. More specifically we published on how to perform strain imaging using the transcutaneous and endoscopic ultrasound approach and shear wave elastography (SWE).

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.

Virtual Magnetic Resonance Elastography Using a Deep Generative Model for Liver Fibrosis Staging

iRADIOLOGY, EarlyView.
The proposed Registration‐based Generative Adversarial Network‐Convolutional Block Attention Module (RegGAN‐CBAM) model efficiently and reliably generates virtual MR elastography using diffusion weighted imaging. Strong correlation between virtual and native MR elastography for liver stiffness and viscosity are observed.

Possible use of 2D shear wave liver elastography in new-onset ascites evaluation

BMC Gastroenterology
Background No data on the use of 2D shear wave elastography exists regarding the evaluation of the new-onset ascites causality. Aims To determine whether 2D shear wave elastography can help in the non-invasive assessment of the new-onset ascites cause ...

Quantitative Mapping of Fibrotic Tissue Mechanics via Brillouin Spectroscopy

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
Brillouin spectroscopy distinguishes fibrotic from healthy tissue based on localized stiffness changes and enables real‐time monitoring of dynamic alterations in viscoelastic properties during fibrogenesis. ABSTRACT Fibrosis is a pathological scarring process that disrupts tissue architecture, and is characterized by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM)
