In this work, the effect of immobilization of bread yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) by sol-gel technique combined with functionalized nanoporous silica was investigated in different weight ratios of silica containing materials (TMOS: LUS-1). The activities of immobilized yeast in days after immobilization were examined. The results showed immobilization maintain the yeast life for a longer tim...

Abstract OBJECTIVE To describe the feasibility and technique for performing laparoscopic ultrasound (LUS) of liver in dogs. ANIMALS 12 client-owned dogs presenting elective surgery from January 1, 2022, to October 31, 2022. METHODS Laparoscopic exploration LUS were performed all Dogs positioned reverse Trendelenburg laterally rotated facilitate access lobes. Time perform LUS, ability visualize ...

CONTEXT Before the initiation of cytotoxic therapy for locally unresectable pancreatic cancer, staging laparoscopy is an important diagnostic method for both the detection of occult small lesions and the extraction of a tumor sample for advanced pathological examination using core needle biopsy (CNB) under laparoscopic ultrasonography (LUS) guidance. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the...

OBJECTIVE To compare lung ultrasonography (LUS), chest xray (CXR) and physical examination (Ex) for the detection of pathological abnormalities in the lungs of critically ill patients. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS A prospective cohort study of 145 patients in the intensive care unit of a tertiary teaching hospital who were undergoing echocardiography for a clinical indication. MAIN OUTC...

BACKGROUND The diagnostic value of lung ultrasonography (LUS) and procalcitonin (PCT) in the diagnosis of lung infections is known. No studies evaluated the combination of LUS and PCT for the diagnosis of pneumonia in the emergency department (ED). We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of the combination of LUS and PCT in the diagnosis of pneumonia. METHODS Patients with respiratory symptoms o...

BACKGROUND Our aim was to compare the accuracy of lung ultrasound (LUS) and standard chest x-ray (CXR) for diagnosing pneumonia in older patients with acute respiratory symptoms (dyspnea, cough, hemoptysis, and atypical chest pain) admitted to an acute-care geriatric ward. METHODS We enrolled 169 (80 M, 89 F) multimorbid patients aged 83.0 ± 9.2 years from January 1 to October 31, 2015. Each ...

BACKGROUND Early diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is essential to reduce the total burden of this disease. Traditionally, chest radiography (CR) is used to identify true CAP. However, CR is not a perfect diagnostic test for CAP. The use of lung ultrasonography (LUS) has been suggested as an alternative to overcome the problems associated with CR and increase the feasibility and a...

In this paper, we focus on the characteristics of LUS in diagnosing childhood pulmonary disease. LUS is convenient, noninvasive, and free of radiation. It helps in the differentiation of lung diseases. Therefore, LUS has the potential to become a reference instrument for bedside dynamic respiratory monitoring. We hope that this review will help clinicians become acquainted with LUS and will acc...
