Assessment of the diagnostic capability of ultrasound in early diagnosis of nephrolithiasis: a feasibility study

Rapid musculoskeletal ultrasound for painful episodes in adult haemophilia patients.

Little objective information exists about musculoskeletal bleeding patterns in haemophilic arthropathy. Bleeding is assumed to be the cause of painful joints or muscles. Clotting factor treatment is provided empirically, but often does not alleviate pain. We hypothesized that perception of pain aetiology is unreliable, and introduced point-of-care high-resolution musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK...

Biological Effect of Modern Fetal Ultrasound Techniques on Human Dermal Fibroblast Cells

Background: Diagnostic ultrasound has been used to detect human disease especially fetus abnormalities in recent decades. Although the harmful effects of diagnostic ultrasound on human have not been established so far, several researchers showed it has had bioeffects in cell lines and in experimental animals. Three-dimensional (3D), four-dimensional (4D), and color Doppler sonography are new te...

HCV-related liver cancer in people with haemophilia.

The topic of this monograph is liver cancer associated with chronic HCV infection. We start with some background information on chronic HCV infection and its long-term sequelae, one of which is liver cancer. The rest of the article is concerned with liver cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Epidemiology, risk factors, treatment and outcomes are discussed. We focus on those aspects that ar...
