Wooden foreign bodies in soft tissue: detection at US

Radiology
J A JacobsonM T van Holsbeeck

Abstract

To evaluate the use of ultrasound (US) for detection of wooden foreign bodies implanted in cadaveric specimens. Wooden foreign bodies were randomly placed in the plantar soft tissues of three cadaver feet by using 5-mm-long incisions. Ten foreign bodies were 2.5 x 1.0 mm (length x diameter); 10 were 5.0 x 1.0 mm. Ten incisions were performed without implantation of foreign bodies. Three musculoskeletal radiologists independently performed US in blinded fashion and recorded the presence of a foreign body. Each used 7.5- and 10-MHz linear-array transducers and was informed of the possible presence of a foreign body. Sensitivity and specificity for detection of 2.5-mm-long foreign bodies were 86.7% and 96.7%, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity for detection of 5.0-mm-long foreign bodies were 93.3% and 96.7%, respectively. Overall sensitivity was 90.0%, with specificity of 96.7%, accuracy of 92.3%, positive predictive value of 98.0%, and negative predictive value of 83.0%. US can be used effectively to locate wooden foreign bodies as small as 2.5 mm in length. Given that many foreign bodies are radiographically undetectable, the accuracy and availability of US make it an excellent modality for evaluation of radiolucent forei...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.
