Ultrasonographic assessment of thyroid volume in oldest-old individuals.

Objective The aim of this study was to describe the relationship between thyroid volume and age, gender, anthropometric characteristics, and echogenicity in oldest-old subjects in an iodine-sufficient area. Subjects and methods The study included 81 independent elderly individuals aged ≥ 80 years (65 [80.2%] women). We determined these individuals' anthropometric characteristics, body mass in...

ASSESSEMENT OF SOIL COLLAPSE PREDICTION METHODS

Expansive and collapsible soils are some of the most widely distributed and costly of geologic hazards. These soils are subject to changes in volume and settlement in response to wetting and drying, often resulting in severe damage to structures. Collapsing soils are generally characterized by sudden and large volume decrease at constant stress when inundated with water. A geotechnical engineer...

Intensivist bedside ultrasound (INBU) for volume assessment in the intensive care unit: a pilot study.

BACKGROUND Estimation of volume status in the high-acuity surgical population can be challenging. The use of intensivist bedside ultrasound (INBU) to rapidly assess volume status in the surgical intensive care unit (SICU) was hypothesized to be feasible and as accurate as invasive measures. METHODS Clinician sonographers (CSs) were trained to perform basic cardiac ultrasound and sonographic a...
