Purpose:T-cell lymphomas (TCLs) are aggressive diseases, which carry a poor prognosis. The emergence of new drugs for TCL has created a need to survey these agents in a rapid and reproducible fashion, in order to prioritize combinations which should be …

Recommendations for Chamber Quantification: A Report from the American Society of Echocardiography’s Guidelines and Standards Committee and the Chamber Quantification Writing Group, Developed in Conjunction with the European Association of …

Ultrasound is a complimentary imaging modality to mammography in breast cancer detection in particular in patients with dense breast tissue, but is limited by its low diagnostic accuracy. Molecularly-targeted contrast-enhanced ultrasound with microbubbles …

Ultrasonography can be used in the diagnosis of various neuropathies, including nerve injury. Nerves often involved in traumatic and iatrogenic injury are small cutaneous branches in the hand and wrist, which cannot be seen in detail using current …

The Fontan circulation is associated with an increased central venous pressure, decreased ventricular preload, and increased afterload. We postulated that these central hemodynamic abnormalities would have consequences for the structural and functional …

Background: We have used a novel ultra high-frequency (55 MHz) ultrasound technique to non-invasively measure the radial arterial vessel wall and separate the intima-media (IMT) complex into measurements of intima and media thickness (IT and MT). Since no …

BACKGROUND: Using new, very high-resolution ultrasound biomicroscopy, we examined the thickness of artificial layers of silicone and intima thickness (IT) of radial and anterior tibial arteries in healthy subjects and in patients with vascular disease. …

Allogeneic hand transplantation is now a clinical reality. While results have been encouraging, acute rejection rates are higher than in their solid-organ counterparts. In contrast, chronic rejections, as defined by vasculopathy and/or fibrosis and …

AIMS: In the present study, we investigated the prognostic value of radial artery intima-media thickness (rIMT) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Carotid artery intima-media thickness is a well-known surrogate marker of …

BACKGROUND: We prospectively and longitudinally determined the effects of childhood obesity on arterial stiffening and vascular wall changes. Changes in arterial stiffness measured as pulse wave velocity (PWV) and vascular morphology of the radial (RA) …
