Valvular endocarditis was diagnosed during a routine flock screen for ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma (OPA) in 10-month-old ewe lamb with 2-month history of weight loss. Ultrasound examination demonstrated right caudoventral pleuritis presenting as hyperechoic thickening the pleura and irregular lesions measuring approximately 12–15 mm, replacing normal tricuspid mitral valves. The sheep euthana...

AIM To evaluate cranial ultrasonography and neurological examination in a cohort of infants regarded as normal; and to determine the prevalence of ultrasound abnormalities and any potential association with antenatal or perinatal factors or deviant neurological signs. METHODS Cranial ultrasound findings and neurological status were evaluated in 177 newborns (gestational age 36.3 to 42 weeks),...

Muscle ultrasound is a convenient technique to visualize normal and pathological muscle tissue as it is non-invasive and real-time. Neuromuscular disorders give rise to structural muscle changes that can be visualized with ultrasound: atrophy can be objectified by measuring muscle thickness, while infiltration of fat and fibrous tissue increases muscle echo intensity, i.e. the muscles become wh...

Heterotopic pregnancy is rare under natural circumstance (conception). We report the first case of heterotopic pregnancy in spontaneous conception with four previous caesarean sections and ruptured tubal ectopic with resultant successful normal intra-uterine pregnancy delivered at term after salpingectomy. A 32-year-old gravida 5 para 4+0 with 3 living children, with 4 previous caesarean sectio...

Since the brain structure of neonatal rats was not fully formed during first 4 days, it cannot be detected using ultrasound. The objective this study to investigate use ultrasound detect changes in normal coronal and determine puncture depth location cortex, hippocampus, lateral ventricle, striatum newborn Sprague–Dawley (SD) 5−15 days. animal placed a prone position. specific positions were me...

introduction: sonophoresis has been assessed as a novel approach to create skin permeability and drug delivery using low frequencies of ultrasound waves in the range of 20 khz to 3 mhz. in this study, a system including seven 40 khz piezoelectric transducers and an insulin chamber designed by the medical physics research center has been evaluated on hyperglycemic rabbits. materials and methods:...

Transcutaneous ultrasound is useful in the diagnosis, management, and prognosis in mares with complicated pregnancies. Although normal and abnormal ultrasound findings were fairly well correlated with the ultimate survivability of the foal, the practitioner should be aware that in our experience thus far, over 15% of the time ultrasound findings will not be predictive of foal survivability. Aut...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the accuracy and safety of an emergency duplex ultrasound (EDUS) evaluation performed by emergency physicians in the emergency department. METHODS Consecutive adult patients suspected of having their first episode of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) presenting to the emergency department were included in the study. All examinations were performed by emergency physicians train...

The value of serum liver function tests and abdominal ultrasound as screening tests of the need for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was determined in patients with unexplained abdominal pain without associated jaundice. In 1989 and 1990 1005 ERCPs were undertaken, of which 138 (14%) were for this indication. The duct or ducts of interest were delineated by ERCP in 95% of p...
