Usefulness of preoperative point-of-care ultrasound measurement of the lateral parapharyngeal wall to predict difficulty in mask ventilation
This study aimed to assess the efficacy of using ultrasound to measure the lateral parapharyngeal wall thickness (LPWT) to predict the difficulty of MV. The LPWT was measured as the distance between the inferior border of the carotid artery and the lateral wall of the pharynx. Difficulty of MV was assessed according to an MV scale. A total of 92 patients were enrolled. Measurements of the LPWT ranged from 1.52 to 4.43 cm. There was a significant correlation between LPWT and difficulty of MV (P = 0.004). Every increase in 1 cm of LPWT was associated with an odds of increase in MV score of 3.17 (P < 0.05). With a cutoff o...

Ultrasound elastography in children - nice to have for scientific studies or arrived in clinical routine?
Mol Cell Pediatr. 2022 Jun 6;9(1):11. doi: 10.1186/s40348-022-00143-1.ABSTRACTUltrasound elastography (USE) is a modality that in addition to fundamental B-mode, Doppler, and contrast-enhanced sonography is suitable to make qualitative and quantitative statements about the stiffness of tissues. Introduced more than 20 years ago in adults, USE becomes now a diagnostic tool also in children. The aim of this paper is to describe current available techniques for USE in children. The significance for routine use in children is shown, and further interesting applications are reported.PMID:35668217 | DOI:10.1186/s40348-022-00143-1

Screening, Management and Delivery in Twin Pregnancy.
Abstract The following AWMF guideline (DGGG/AGG & DEGUM responsible) deals with the diagnosis, screening and management of twins as well as the timing and mode of birth.Twin pregnancies can be classified as dichorionic diamniotic (DC DA), monochorionic diamniotic (MC DA) and monochorionic monoamniotic (MC MA) which are always monochorionic.Twin pregnancies can be concordant (both twins are affected) or discordant (only one twin is affected) for chromosomal defects, malformations, growth restriction and hemodynamic disorders.Chorionicity is the prognostically most significant parameter. Monochorial twins have s...

" Despicable " GE Spins Off...Minion Healthcare?
I couldn ' t let an occasion as momentous asGeneral Electric spinning off its Healthcare division go without mention. As yet, the new division has no name other than GE Healthcare, which is what it used to be called before being spun. Off, that is. So I guess it ' s up to me to figure this out.We all know that Siemens performed a similar excision of its Healthcare Division back in March of this year, although this was announced back in November, 2017. You may know that Siemens had a sponsoringrelationship with Disney......until October of 2017, and I have to wonder if that had something to do with the unfortunate moniker "...
