Standardization of Sonographic Diaphragm Thickness Evaluations in Healthy Volunteers.
BACKGROUND B-mode ultrasound can be used to measure diaphragm thickness at the zone of apposition. We believe it is necessary to develop normal values for diaphragm thickness at rest in a large group of healthy subjects and compare them with international results. METHODS Ultrasound measurements of diaphragm thickness at expiratory rest were taken in 109 healthy individuals, with results stra...
متن کاملComparison of supraspinatus sonographic thickness in empty can, full can and hug up testing positions in healthy women
Background: Rotator cuff injuries are the most common causes of shoulder pain and supraspinatus muscle is usually involved. Clinical tests are available and inexpensive tools for assessment of shoulder dysfunctions. The empty can (EC) and full can (FC) tests are considered as shoulder gold standard tests. Recently, hug up (HU) test has been developed to assess the supraspinatus. So far, no ultr...
متن کاملCortical Thickness in Patients with Major Depression and Healthy Volunteers
Introduction: Major depression is the most common psychiatric disorder. Neuroimaging studies with quantitative evaluation of anatomical structures and physiological parameters may provide increasing knowledge on the pathophysiology of the disease (1). Automatic measurements of cortical thickness in high resolution structural MRI can be performed by reconstruction of the cortical boundaries usin...
متن کاملSpinopelvic Parameters among Healthy Volunteers in Iran
Background: Recently, in approach to spinal pathologies, the whole spine should be considered as a biomechanicalunit. Studies have shown the great importance of sagittal and coronal balance and the relationship between the variousparts of spine together and pelvis. Former studies have shown a close relationship between spinopelvic parametersand sagittal balance. A complete und...
متن کاملTransorbital Sonographic Evaluation of Normal Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter in Healthy Volunteers in Bangladesh
INTRODUCTION Measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) by ultrasound is increasingly used as a marker to detect raised intracranial pressure (ICP). ONSD varies with age and there is no clear consensus between studies for an upper limit of normal. Knowledge of normal ONSD in a healthy population is essential to interpret this measurement. METHODS In a prospective observational study, O...
