Microbubbles have shown potential as intralymphatic ultrasound contrast agents while nanoparticle-loaded microbubbles are increasingly investigated for ultrasound-triggered drug and gene delivery. To explore whether mRNA-nanoparticle loaded microbubbles could serve as theranostics for detection of and mRNA transfer to the lymph nodes, we investigate the behavior of unloaded and mRNA-loaded micr...

Small-joint involvement, including the interphalangeal joints of hand, is less common in oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Ultrasound (US)-guided joint injections are also plausible for children. However, US-guided into pediatric small make tips and tricks special because more difficult injection technique greater risk potential complications than with large joints. Here, we r...

Objectives: Dry Needling (DN) is a novel and effective intervention for patients with Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS). Some characteristics, such as needle penetration depth, needle insertion into the target muscle, and trigger points must be identified in this intervention. The Ultrasound (US)-guided DN is a technique that involves needle insertion at the site of injury and the simulation of ti...

Abstract Background and Objectives Transcutaneous point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a good tool to monitor the trachea in many clinical practices. The aim of our study verify feasibility POCUS-guided submucosal injection as potential drug delivery method for treatment tracheal stenosis. Materials methods inner wall was monitored via bronchoscope during methylene blue fresh ex vivo porcine eva...

BACKGROUND Platelet-rich plasma is being used more frequently to promote healing of muscle injuries. The growth factors contained in platelet-rich plasma accelerate physiological healing processes and the use of these factors is simple and minimally invasive. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided injection of platelet-rich plasma in muscle strains and the ab...

Background Ultrasound-guided injections are an alternative to evaluate, it eliminates the risk of ionizing radiation for both patient and practitioner as fluoroscopic procedures require a radiology technician, increase overall support time cost, decrease accessibility. Objectives The main objective study was compare short-term efficacy posterior inter-apophyseal joint infiltrations under ultras...

Lumbar spinal cysts often present with backache and may be accompanied by lower extremity weakness as well as radiation pain if root compression occurs. The treatment regimens include anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, procedures guided by fluoroscopy or computed tomography, and surgery. We report the case of a patient with a symptomatic lumbar spinal cyst at the L4-L5 facet joint. The ...
