Synopsis:

This study investigated the association of radiological abnormalities and asymptomatic bacteriuria in patients with sickle cell disease. No association was seen and there was no increased risk of symptomatic urinary tract infections in these patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) in sickle cell disease (SCD) in Jamaica is 5.3%. This study sought to determine the association between ASB and anatomical urological abnormalities and symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Right Internal Jugular Ultrasound Measurements during the Respiratory Cycle in Children

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2016.540

Synopsis:

Point of care ultrasound could be useful as a non-invasive objective measure of throughout the respiratory cycle. The right internal jugular vein diameter can be reliably measured during the respiratory cycle; measures are larger with head turned 45 degrees leftward.

ABSTRACT

Background: Point of care ultrasound could be useful as a non-invasive objective measure of throughout the respiratory cycle.

Objective: To determine the reliability of measurements of the right internal jugular vein (RIJV).
