ARTICLE REVIEW • Ultrasound-Enhancing Agents and Associated Adverse Reactions: A Potential Connection to the COVID-19 Vaccines?

The authors report of adverse reactions after administration of Lumason and Definity across three echocardiography laboratories within the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) and the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) from 2019 to 2021......

ORIGINAL ARTICLE • Transcutaneous Laryngeal Ultrasonography: A Reliable, Non-Invasive and Inexpensive Preoperative Method In the Evaluation of Vocal Cords Motility—A Prospective Multicentric Analysis on a Large Series and a Literature Review

Transcutaneous laryngeal ultrasonography (TLUS) has been proposed as a non-invasive and painless indirect examination of vocal cords function as alternative to direct flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy (FFL). The study assessed TLUS reliability as an alternative method to direct FFL in evaluation voca...

JOURNAL REVIEW • Point of Care, Clinician-Performed Laryngeal Ultrasound and Pediatric Vocal Fold Movement Impairment

An alternate way of assessing vocal fold mobility can be achieved with transcervical laryngeal ultrasound (LUS), which causes fewer changes in physiologic parameters. The goal in this study was to evaluate the use of LUS as a point of care, otolaryngologist-performed assessment of vocal fold movemen...

ORIGINAL RESEARCH • Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound is Useful for the Evaluation of Focal Liver Lesions in Children.

While liver tumors are rare in children, they can pose a diagnostic challenge when suspected. Contrast-enhanced computer tomography (CECT) and contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CEMRI) are the main imaging modalities in the workup of liver tumors.. ......

ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION • Internal Jugular Vein Cannulation Using a 3-Dimensional Ultrasound Probe in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: Comparison Between Biplane View and Short-Axis View

Compared with the traditional anatomic landmark technique, 3-dimensional ultrasound guided IJV cannulation improves patient outcomes by increasing success rates and reducing complications. Both techniques have advantages and disadvantages. ......

ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION • Left Atrial Expansion Index for Noninvasive Estimation of Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure: A Cardiac Catheterization Validation Study

RHC, an invasive and potentially risky procedure, is the gold standard technique for accurate hemodynamic assessment and PCWP measurement. However, it is reserved to only highly selected cardiac subgroups of patients. However, it is reserved to only highly selected cardiac subgroups of patients ......

CASE REPORT • Perioperative Point-of-Care Ultrasound for Diagnosis of Acute Lower Extremity Arterial Thrombosis After Total Hip Arthroplasty Revision

In their conclusions, the author comment on the rare complication of acute arterial occlusion after hip arthroplasty, which can lead to devastating outcomes. In the immediate postoperative period, it may be difficult to rely on clinical presentation of acute limb ischemia to provide a timely diagno...

RESEARCH ARTICLE • Right Ventricle Early Inflow-Outflow Index May Inform About the Severity of Pneumonia in Patients with COVID-19

Although COVID-19 infection was initially thought to be a disease presenting with viral pneumonia, it may also affect multiple organ systems. The cardiovascular system is one of the most frequently affected systems, and there is an increasing prevalence of cardiovascular complications ......

NORMAL VALUES FOR RIGHT VENTRICULAR MEASUREMENTS • Two-Dimensional Echocardiographic Right Ventricular Size and Systolic Function Measurements Stratified by Sex, Age, and Ethnicity: Results of the World Alliance of Societies of Echocardiography Study

Despite the inherent challenges associated with imaging of the anterior, highly asymmetric, crescent-shaped chamber, the right ventricular (RV) size and function is most frequently imaged with echocardiography. A variety of measurements are made to characterize RV chamber size and function ......

STATE-OF-THE-ART REVIEW • Ultrasound Imaging of the Abdominal Aorta: A Comprehensive Review

Ultrasound imaging as done in vascular and radiology laboratories typically involves imaging of the entire AA, performed in a fasting state by personnel trained in general and/or vascular ultrasound, and aims primarily at identifying structural abnormalities of the AA ......
