Reliability of low ‐flow vasoreactivity in the brachial artery of adolescents
ConclusionIn adolescents, the low ‐flow vasoreactivity is inconsistent between days. Whereas the actual vessel diameter is reproducible, the measurement of L‐FMC and CVR has poor between‐day reliability compared to FMD. Finally, L‐FMC, and FMD are not significantly correlated.

Echo ‐tracking evaluation of changes in common carotid artery Wall elasticity after smoking cessation
AbstractThe aim of this study was to explore changes in the common carotid arterial wall elasticity after smoking cessation. Carotid artery ultrasonographic examination was performed in 136 patients, then 1 or 2 years after smoking cessation. We used echo ‐tracking (ET) to measure stiffness index (β), pressure‐strain elasticity modulus (Ep), arterial compliance (AC), augmentation index (AI), and local pulse wave velocity (PWVβ). Patients were divided into four groups based on whether or not they successfully stopped smoking (groups M and N, res pectively) and whether (groups M2 and N2, respectively) or not (groups M1...

Localized primary malignant pericardial mesothelioma
AbstractPrimary malignant pericardial mesothelioma (PMPM) is an extremely rare tumor, which may appear as a localized or a diffuse mass encasing the heart. Diffuse PMPMs have a poor prognosis due to the difficulty of surgical excision, whereas localized PMPMs have clear margins, thus facilitating surgical excision. Timely diagnosis and proper treatment are crucial for a favorable prognosis. Eight cases of localized PMPMs have been reported so far, but their characteristics have not been fully described. Herein, we present a patient with localized PMPM and describe the diagnosis methods, treatment, and outcomes of these tum...

An unusual pelvic mass: Contrast enhanced sonographic diagnosis of pelvic splenosis
We present a case where a pelvic mass incidentally visualized on an MRI examination, was proven to represent a deposit of splenosis by contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). CEUS demonstrated persistent late‐phase enhancement characteristic of splenic tissue. Ultrasound practitioners should be aware of this condition when an unusual abdominal or pelvic mass is encountered in a patient with a history of splenic trau ma or surgery. CEUS is ideally suited to confirming the diagnosis. (Source: Journal of Clinical Ultrasound)

A rare complication of mitral valve replacement: Iatrogenic aortic valve perforation
AbstractIatrogenic aortic valve injury after mitral valve surgery is a well ‐known but rare complication. Herein, we report a 62‐year‐old male patient who underwent mitral valve replacement surgery 12 years ago and developed moderate to severe aortic regurgitation immediately after surgery.

Pattern of cerebral blood flow and the interrelationship of vascular parameters of transcranial Doppler imaging in children with sickle cell disease
ConclusionsThere was a direct relationship between TAMxV and PSV and EDV, and an inverse relationship between TAMxV and PI in a group of SCD patients with normal TCDI values. (Source: Journal of Clinical Ultrasound)

Board exam stress effect on diastolic function
ConclusionThis is the first report of comprehensive sequential assessment of left and right ventricular diastolic functions during and after a real subacute stress occasion. The finding of a decreased E/A and E ′ in response to mental stress suggests that repetitive mental stress may induce diastolic dysfunction which is a mechanism of diastolic heart failure in individuals at risk.

Fetal lipomyelomeningocele: A closed neural tube defect diagnosed at second trimester ultrasound examination
AbstractFetal lipomyelomeningocele was suspected during the second ‐trimester ultrasound and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. The pregnancy took its course and a term neonate was delivered. At 2 years of age lipomyelomeningocele surgical removal was performed. The patient is now 4 years old and, despite neurogenic bladder, is a healthy boy with normal psychomotor development for his age. This case illustrates the favorable prognosis of this entity and the importance of prompt diagnosis and multidisciplinary counseling. (Source: Journal of Clinical Ultrasound)
