Lian-di Liu, Fang Peng, Shuang Zheng, Ran Chen, Bin Xiao, Jing-Ying Qiao
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common malignant soft tissue tumor in children, and botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma (BRMS) represents a subtype of RMS. BRMS primarily occurs in infants, young children, and adolescent females, with a predilection for mucosa-lined hollow organs such as the bladder, vagina, bile duct, and so on. Its occurrence in the biliary tract is extremely rare. Due to the high malignancy and rapid metastasis of biliary botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving prognosis...

PURPOSE: While scanning women for breast US, is possible to observe changes in the appearance of the pleural line or in the most superficial portion of the lung. The objective of this single-center, prospective study was to determine the prevalence of a variety of pleural and pulmonary US findings during routine breast US. METHODS: In this study, there were 200 women undergoing standard breast US examination. The presence of pleural and pulmonary abnormalities in these cases was recorded...

PURPOSE: This study was designed to investigate the application value of the atrial septum excursion index (ASEI) in fetuses with isolated restrictive foramen ovale (RFO) or redundant foramen ovale flap (RFOF) and the outcomes of these fetuses. METHODS: This was a retrospective study. Healthy pregnant women who were examined by antenatal fetal echocardiography from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021, at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital were enrolled. One hundred seventy-seven (177) fetuses were categorized into three groups by diagnosis: (1) RFOF (n = 33), (2) RFO (n = 21), and (3) normal (n = 123)...

PURPOSE: To analyze ultrasound features of cervical thoracic duct for patients with constrictive pericarditis and chylothorax. METHODS: Patients were retrospectively assessed. The patients were divided into a non-pleural effusion (PE) group (n = 54), a chylothorax group (n = 23), and non-chylothorax group (n = 28). Conventional ultrasound was used to obtain the maximum inner diameter and collapse of the inferior vena cava, the inner diameter of left cervical thoracic duct, and the frequency of opening of the valve at the end of the left thoracic duct...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide additional information in cases of cesarean scar pregnancy beyond the first trimester. MRI and 3D reconstructions can demonstrate the relationships between the uterus, cervix, bladder, and placenta, improving the spatial perspective of the pelvic anatomy in cases requiring surgical management. MRI and 3D reconstructions can also provide more comprehensive images for parental counseling, virtual and face-to-face multidisciplinary team discussion, and medical record storage...

Xu Yang, Li-Juan Quan
Leydig cell tumor (LCT) is a rare testicular tumor. We report a case of an elderly male patient who discovered a left testicular mass during a regular health examination four years ago. The patient did not experience any significant discomfort and opted for regular follow-up visits. During the most recent visit, we performed routine ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) examinations. By observing the lesion's location, echogenicity, margins, vascular distribution, as well as the rapid enhancement and slow washout characteristics on contrast-enhanced ultrasound, we arrived at a diagnosis of LCT...

Hepatic hemangioma is the most prevalent benign liver tumor during the fetal and neonatal period, and its rupture poses a severe threat to newborns' lives-this article presents a case involving the spontaneous rupture of a hepatic hemangioma in a neonate. Early diagnosis through ultrasound enabled prompt treatment, resulting in the patient's timely discharge.

Single fetal demise in monochorionic gestations in the 2nd and 3rd trimester is associated with adverse outcomes for the co-twin. We present a case of single demise in a monochorionic gestation in the 1st trimester with evidence of subsequent hemodynamic aberrations in the co-twin, supportive of feto-fetal hemorrhage occurring early in gestation.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of heterotopic pregnancy and the follow-up. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 50 cases of clinically diagnosed heterotopic pregnancy in our hospital was performed, the clinical characteristics and ultrasonographic manifestations of the patients were summarized, the reasons for initial ultrasound missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis were analyzed, and the pregnancy outcomes were followed up. RESULTS: Among the 50 cases, the initial ultrasound diagnoses of intrauterine pregnancy were all gestational sac type, 32 cases of ectopic pregnancy were located in the fallopian tube, and 10 cases were located in the uterine horn, 1 case at cervix, and 1 case at caesarean section scar...

BACKGROUND: Differentiating cardiovascular causes of dyspnea in resource-limited healthcare settings can be challenging. The use of easy-to-train, point-of-care, focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS) protocols may potentially alleviate this challenge. RESEARCH QUESTION: Can novices attain competency in FoCUS use after training using the cardiac ultrasound for resource-limited settings (CURLS) protocol? METHODS: A quasi-experimental study was conducted at the Kenyatta National Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya...

Pancake kidney is a renal fusion anomaly with only a few reported prenatal diagnoses. Other structural anomalies beyond the urogenital system may also be associated. This study describes a dual anomaly case detected prenatally, comprising of pancake kidney and jejunal atresia. A postnatal abdominal ultrasound confirmed both kidneys were fused in the midline at the aortic bifurcation level, along with a type 3b jejunal atresia. Based on the available limited evidence about pancake kidney, renal functions appear to remain largely preserved and unaffected as in our case according to 6 months of follow-up...

PURPOSE: We aimed to investigate the role of lung ultrasound (LUS) score in the closure of hemodynamically insignificant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and the clinical findings of the patients before and after closure. METHODS: The study groups (107 preterm neonates under 34 gestational weeks) were classified as hemodynamically significant PDA (group 1), hemodynamically insignificant PDA with closure therapy (group 2), hemodynamically insignificant PDA without closure therapy (group 3), and no PDA group (group 4) based on the echocardiography...
