Abstract

The aim of this work was to evaluate the real-time sonoelastography (RTSE) in the assessment of the supraspinatus tendon in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Twenty-five patients with unilateral shoulder pain that was diagnosed as SIS according to magnetic resonance imaging findings were included in the study. Healthy shoulders of the patients comprised the control group. Bilateral shoulder RTSE examinations were performed by a radiologist who was blinded to the involved side of the participants. The RTSE images were recorded and assessed by 2 radiologists individually 1 month later. American Shoulder and Elbow Surgery shoulder index, Quick Disabilities of Arm Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire, and Constant scores were applied to evaluate the disability and functional status. The correlation between strain ratio and functional scores were investigated. Of the 25 participants, 9 (36%) were men and 16 (64%) were women. The RTSE findings were pathologic in tendons of 23 patients (92%) with SIS. The strain ratio was significantly higher in the affected shoulders (P < 0.001). The interobserver agreement was good for image analysis. There was no significant correlation between strain ratio and functional scores. Str...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
