Multiparametric ultrasound as a new concept of assessment of liver tissue damage
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 28;30(12):1663-1669. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i12.1663.ABSTRACTLiver disease accounts for approximately 2 million deaths per year worldwide. All chronic liver diseases (CLDs), whether of toxic, genetic, autoimmune, or infectious origin, undergo typical histological changes in the structure of the tissue. These changes may include the accumulation of extracellular matrix material, fats, triglycerides, or tissue scarring. Noninvasive methods for diagnosing CLD, such as conventional B-mode ultrasound (US), play a significant role in diagnosis. Doppler US, when coupled with B-mode US, can be helpful...

Routine utilization of machine perfusion in liver transplantation: Ready for prime time?
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 21;30(11):1488-1493. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i11.1488.ABSTRACTThe last decade has been notable for increasing high-quality research and dramatic improvement in outcomes with dynamic liver preservation. Robust evidence from numerous randomized controlled trials has been pooled by meta-analyses, providing the highest available evidence on the protective effect of machine perfusion (MP) over static cold storage in liver transplantation (LT). Based on a protective effect with less complications and improved graft survival, the field has seen a paradigm shift in organ preservation. This editorial fo...

Young man with chest pain and an abnormal echocardiogram
Clinical introduction A man in his 40s with a history of hyperlipidaemia presented with intermittent, dull left-sided chest pain for 2 weeks that was not consistently exertional. He denied dyspnoea, cough, fevers, recent travel or exposure to sick people. He did not smoke or use alcohol or illicit drugs. There was no pertinent family history. Physical examination, an ECG, basic laboratories and a chest X-ray were unremarkable. The patient was referred for an exercise nuclear study and did 11 min on the Bruce protocol without angina or ischaemic ECG changes. Myocardial scintigraphic perfusion images at stress and rest were ...

Comparison of macular and optic disc vessel density in thyroid orbitopathy: a comparative octa study
ConclusionActive TO group had lower vessel density than inactive group and after treatment, vessel density was increased. Non-invasive quantitative analysis of retinal and optic disc perfusion using OCTA could be useful in early treatment before complications occur and monitoring patients with TO.

Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM)-derived perfusion fraction mapping for the visual evaluation of MR-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) ablation of uterine fibroids
CONCLUSION: The MR-HIFU treatment effect in uterine fibroids can be visualized using IVIM perfusion fraction mapping, in moderate concordance with contrast enhanced MRI. IVIM perfusion fraction mapping has therefore the potential to serve as a contrast agent-free imaging method to visualize the MR-HIFU treatment progression in uterine fibroids.PMID:38616245 | DOI:10.1080/02656736.2024.2321980 (Source: International Journal of Hyperthermia)
