Ultrasound

his review demonstrates that cardiac injuries remain lethal, diagnosis is largely clinical and trans-thoracic ultrasound may be over-utilized, having little impact on clinical outcome of patients presenting with this injury.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine the impact of trans-thoracic ultrasound (TTUS) in patients with chest trauma and potential cardiac injuries and to determine the outcome of patients with cardiac injury detected on TTUS.

Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Femoral Cartilage Thickness in Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis

Issue:

Vol 63, Issue 4: Aug (2014)

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2013.221

Pages:

329–32

Synopsis:

In this study, we evaluated femoral cartilage thicknesses of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Our results indicate that AS patients seem to have thicker femoral cartilage, which could be related to anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) treatment.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate femoral cartilage thickness in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) by using ultrasonography.

Comparison of Ultrasonographic Estimated Fetal Weight and Actual Birthweight Performed by Residents in Training at the University Hospital of the West Indies

Issue:

Vol 62, Issue 9: Dec (2013)

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2012.265

Synopsis:

There is good correlation between residents’ ultrasonographic estimation and actual birthweight at the University Hospital of the West Indies. The difference in correlation between senior and junior residents was insignificant.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine the correlation of ultrasonographic estimation of fetal weight and actual birthweight and the impact of the level of resident’s training on the results.
