In recent years, enveloped micro-nanobubbles have garnered significant attention in research due to their commendable stability, biocompatibility, and other notable properties. Currently, the preparation methods of enveloped micro-nanobubbles have …

Objectives: To describe the ultrasound characteristics of facial and submandibular hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and detect acne vulgaris (AV) concomitance in these cases. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of the ultrasound images of patients …

Effective targeting of breast tumors is critical for improving therapeutic outcomes in breast cancer treatment. Additionally, hypoxic breast cancers are difficult to treat due to resistance toward chemotherapeutics, poor vascularity, and enhanced …

Objective: Although there are methods to identify regions of interest (ROIs) from echocardiographic images of myocardial tissue, they are often time-consuming and difficult to create when image quality is poor. Further, while myocardial strain from …

Superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) flap is often chosen to minimize postoperative complications such as abdominal pain and bulging. However, drawbacks, including a small diameter and a short pedicle, pose challenges in anastomosing or creating …

Objective: Current laryngeal injection models rely on the transoral route and are suboptimal due to limited view, narrowed working space, and the need to sacrifice animals for investigation of the injectables. In the present study, a novel surgical model …

Atherosclerosis is the main risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which accounts for the majority of mortality worldwide. A significantly increased plasma level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), surrounded by a monolayer of phospholipids, …

Systemic hypertension is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular, neurovascular, and renovascular diseases. Central artery stiffness is both an initiator and indicator of hypertension, thus revealing a critical relationship between the wall mechanics and …

Physiological and pathological changes in tissues often cause changes in tissue mechanical properties, making tissue elastography an effective modality in medical imaging. Among the existing elastography methods, ultrasound elastography is of great …

Problem: Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive pregnancy disorder that is a leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality characterized by maternal vascular dysfunction, oxidative stress, chronic immune activation, and excessive inflammation. …
