Associations of Real-Time Ultrasound and Strain and Shear Wave Elastography with Gastrointestinal Organs: A Systematic Review.

Project description:Ultrasound elastography is gaining attention for its diagnostic potential across various medical fields, and its physical properties make it valuable in modern clinical medicine. However, its specific attributes, especially in the context of recent medical advancements, remain relatively unexplored. This study aimed to identify instrument-specific characteristics and applications of real-time ultrasound elastography, shear wave elastography, and strain elastography, particularly within gastroenterology. Following PRISMA guidelines, the study examined elastography articles on databases like PubMed, resulting in 78 included articles. Data on patient demographics, organ involvement, specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were extracted. Statistical analysis involved SPSS version 21, with significance set at p < 0.05. The majority of patients were male (50.50%), with a mean age of 42.73 ± 4.41 years. Shear wave elastography was the most prevalent technique (48.7%), and liver investigations were predominant in gastroenterology (34.6%). Gastrointestinal applications showed higher sensitivity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive values (p < 0.05) but lower specificity (p < 0.05). Real-time ultrasound elastography exhibited increased specificity, accuracy, and predictive values (p < 0.05). Ultrasound elastography appears more accurate and effective in gastroenterological settings. Nonetheless, its performance depends on instrument-specific and operator-dependent factors. While promising, further studies are necessary to ascertain optimal utilization in both gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal conditions.

Application of Real-time Elastography Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Axillary Lymph Node Metastasis in Breast Cancer Patients.

Project description:The pathological status of axillary lymph nodes (ALN) plays a critical role in the staging and treatment of patients with breast cancer. Therefore, differential diagnosis of metastatic ALN is highly desirable in the clinic. We used real-time elastography (RTE) and gray-scale ultrasound to generate a new scoring system for determining ALN status and estimate their performance of this system. Ninety-seven ALNs were examined by both gray-scale ultrasound and RTE. The performance of gray-scale ultrasound was evaluated by the sum of scores according to its features. RTE images were determined by a modulated scoring system based on the percentage and distribution of hypoechoic cortex regions in the ALNs. Strain ratio was also calculated. Diagnostic performance was obtained by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis with pathologic findings used as the reference standard. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 92%, 73% and 83%, respectively, for gray-scale ultrasound; 78%, 93%, 86%, respectively, for RTE; 88%, 96% and 92%, respectively, for the combined evaluation (AUC?=?0.963), and 87%, 76% and 81%, respectively, for strain ratio. Gray-scale ultrasonography had a better sensitivity than RTE (92% vs 78%, P?=?0.039), while the specificity for RTE was superior to that of gray-scale ultrasonography (93% vs 73%, P?=?0.012). In conclusion, RTE showed a high specificity for evaluating the ALN status and may improve the diagnostic accuracy when combined with gray-scale ultrasound.

New surgical technique of laparoscopic resection of adenomyosis under real-time intraoperative ultrasound elastography guidance: A case report.

Project description:Detecting adenomyosis in the myometrium is a challenge since it is infiltrative with ill-defined margins and can be often confused with uterine fibroids. However, recent advances, such as ultrasound elastography, have enabled its detection in the myometrium, thereby facilitating its accurate diagnosis. We report our experience of performing complete laparoscopic resection of adenomyosis under real-time ultrasound elastography guidance in a 32-year-old woman who underwent laparoscopic adenomyomectomy following severe dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual bleeding. Real-time ultrasound elastography was also utilized intraoperatively to detect residual adenomyosis. Complete adenomyosis resection and uterine reconstruction were achieved. Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging was conducted to confirm successful uterine reconstruction. The patient recovered rapidly with no complications. Intraoperative elastography-guided laparoscopic adenomyomectomy was feasible and effective in completely removing adenomyotic lesions.

Diagnostic performance of conventional ultrasound and quantitative and qualitative real-time shear wave elastography in musculoskeletal soft tissue tumors.

Project description:BACKGROUND:To explore the feasibility to identify malignant musculoskeletal soft tissue tumors using real-time shear wave elastography (rtSWE). METHODS:One hundred fifteen musculoskeletal soft tissue tumors in 92 consecutive patients were examined using both conventional ultrasonography (US) and rtSWE. For each patient, the rtSWE parameters including maximum elasticity (Emax), mean elasticity (Emean), minimum elasticity (Emin), standard deviation of the elasticity (Esd), and rtSWE image pattern were obtained. Eighty-one histopathologically confirmed tumors from 73 patients were subjected to analysis. RESULTS:The 81 lesions included in the study were histopathologically classified as malignant (n?=?21) or benign (n?=?60). The statistically significant differences between benign and malignant lesions were found in conventional US characters including size, depth, margin, echogenicity, mass texture, and power Doppler signal. Meanwhile, the significant differences were also found in quantitative rtSWE findings including Emax, Emean, Emin, and Esd values and in qualitative rtSWE parameter named rtSWE image pattern. Multivariate analysis showed that infiltrative margin (OR, 4.470), and size (OR, 1.046) were independent predictors for malignancy in US findings, while Esd value (OR, 9.047) was independent predictors for malignancy in quantitative rtSWE parameters. Areas under the ROC curve (Azs) for US features, Esd value, and rtSWE image pattern were 0.851, 0.795, and 0.792, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Conventional US and quantitative and qualitative rtSWE parameters are useful for malignancy prediction of musculoskeletal soft tissue tumors. rtSWE can be used to supplement conventional US to diagnose musculoskeletal soft tissue tumors.

Transrectal real-time elastography of the prostate: Normal patterns.

Project description:INTRODUCTION: Given the growing importance in clinical practice of transrectal real-time sonoelastography of the prostate, it is important to define normal patterns correlated to volume growth and reconsider the technical problems. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We selected a sample of 100 men aged 30 to 87 with prostate volumes ranging from 20 to 100 cc. Strain images were obtained using an end-fire convex probe. The elasticity patterns of the various anatomical zones of the prostate were compared with the volume. RESULTS: The peripheral zone showed intermediate elasticity in 100% of cases regardless of the volume. We found some rare small areas of more limited elasticity in 23% of cases, among patients over 40. The posterior side of the central zone exhibited intermediate elasticity, and relative inelasticity was observed on the lateral side and at the base in 79% of cases. The entire central zone appeared compliant in 15% of cases and inelastic in 6%. The transition zone findings were stratified according to gland volume. When the volume was less than 45 cc, the transition zone was elastic in 67% of cases, inhomogeneously inelastic in 22%, and uniformly inelastic in 11%. In glands larger than 45 cc, the appearance was mainly elastic in 31% of cases, inhomogeneously inelastic in 57%, and uniformly inelastic in 12%. CONCLUSIONS: Real-time elastography can distinguish the elastic properties of the prostate and define the normal patterns associated with increases in gland volume.

Feasibility of real-time strain elastography in colonic diseases.

Project description:Real-time strain elastography is not routinely performed in clinical practice for characterizing gastrointestinal tract diseases, and there are few studies in the literature on the subject. The recent EFSUMB guidelines suggest the use of this method in the diagnosis of neoplastic lesions and in the characterization of bowel strictures in patients with Crohn's disease. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to evaluate the feasibility of strain elastography in some pathologies of the colon frequently encountered in daily clinical practice and to compare elastography images with corresponding endoscopic and radiographic images. In our opinion, strain elastography is useful for characterizing diseases of the colon as it can add valuable diagnostic information to grayscale ultrasound imaging. However, diagnostic accuracy and clinical relevance of this information should be confirmed by further prospective research-targeted studies.

Quantitative micro-elastography: imaging of tissue elasticity using compression optical coherence elastography.

Project description:Probing the mechanical properties of tissue on the microscale could aid in the identification of diseased tissues that are inadequately detected using palpation or current clinical imaging modalities, with potential to guide medical procedures such as the excision of breast tumours. Compression optical coherence elastography (OCE) maps tissue strain with microscale spatial resolution and can delineate microstructural features within breast tissues. However, without a measure of the locally applied stress, strain provides only a qualitative indication of mechanical properties. To overcome this limitation, we present quantitative micro-elastography, which combines compression OCE with a compliant stress sensor to image tissue elasticity. The sensor consists of a layer of translucent silicone with well-characterized stress-strain behaviour. The measured strain in the sensor is used to estimate the two-dimensional stress distribution applied to the sample surface. Elasticity is determined by dividing the stress by the strain in the sample. We show that quantification of elasticity can improve the ability of compression OCE to distinguish between tissues, thereby extending the potential for inter-sample comparison and longitudinal studies of tissue elasticity. We validate the technique using tissue-mimicking phantoms and demonstrate the ability to map elasticity of freshly excised malignant and benign human breast tissues.

Protein carbamylation and chronic kidney disease progression in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Study.

Project description:BackgroundProtein carbamylation is a post-translational protein modification caused, in part, by exposure to urea's dissociation product cyanate. Carbamylation is linked to cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in dialysis-dependent end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), but its effects in earlier pre-dialysis stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are not established.MethodsWe conducted two nested case-control studies within the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Study. First, we matched 75 cases demonstrating CKD progression [50% estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reduction or reaching ESKD] to 75 controls (matched on baseline eGFR, 24-h proteinuria, age, sex and race). In the second study, we similarly matched 75 subjects who died during follow-up (cases) to 75 surviving controls. Baseline carbamylated albumin levels (C-Alb, a validated carbamylation assay) were compared between cases and controls in each study.ResultsAt baseline, in the CKD progression study, other than blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and smoking status, there were no significant differences in any matched or other parameter. In the mortality group, the only baseline difference was smoking status. Adjusting for baseline differences, the top tertile of C-Alb was associated with an increased risk of CKD progression [odds ratio (OR) = 7.9; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.9-32.8; P = 0.004] and mortality (OR = 3.4; 95% CI 1.0-11.4; P = 0.05) when compared with the bottom tertile. C-Alb correlated with eGFR but was more strongly correlated with BUN.ConclusionsOur data suggest that protein carbamylation is a predictor of CKD progression, beyond traditional risks including eGFR and proteinuria. Carbamylation's association with mortality was smaller in this limited sample size.

Lipidomic Signature of Progression of Chronic Kidney Disease in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort.

Project description:IntroductionHuman studies report conflicting results on the predictive power of serum lipids on progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We aimed to systematically identify the lipids that predict progression to end-stage kidney disease.MethodsFrom the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort, 79 patients with CKD stage 2 to 3 who progressed to ESKD over 6 years of follow up were selected and frequency-matched by age, sex, race, and diabetes with 121 non-progressors with less than 25% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) during the follow up. The patients were randomly divided into Training and Test sets. We applied liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based lipidomics on visit year 1 samples.ResultsWe identified 510 lipids, of which the top 10 coincided with false discovery threshold of 0.058 in the Training set. From the top 10 lipids, the abundance of diacylglycerols (DAGs) and cholesteryl esters was lower, but that of phosphatidic acid 44:4 and monoacylglycerol (MAG) 16:0 was significantly higher in progressors. Using logistic regression models a multi-marker panel consisting of DAGs, and MAG independently predicted progression. The c-statistic of the multimarker panel added to the base model consisting of eGFR and urine protein-creatinine ratio (UPCR) as compared to that of the base model was 0.92 (95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 0.88-0.97), and 0.83 (95% CI: 0.76-0.90, P<0.01), respectively; an observation which was validated in the Test subset.ConclusionWe conclude that a distinct panel of lipids may improve prediction of progression of CKD beyond eGFR and UPCR when added to the base model.

Increased renal versican expression is associated with progression of chronic kidney disease.

Project description:Novel prognostic markers for progression of kidney disease are needed to distinguish patients who might benefit from a more aggressive nephroprotective therapy. Expression of the proteoglycan versican was evaluated in renal transcriptomics profiles and in an independent set of 74 renal biopsies. Versican levels were correlated to histologic damage scores and to renal outcome, and versican expression and regulation was evaluated in vitro. In transcriptomics profiles of renal tissue versican was positively correlated with (i) histological parameters in kidney biopsies, (ii) progressive decline of renal function in proteinuric kidney diseases, and (iii) impaired renal function and histology scores in diabetic nephropathy. In an independent cohort of 74 biopsies of glomerular diseases renal RNA levels of versican isoforms V0 and V1, but not V2 and V3 correlated significantly with creatinine after a mean follow up time of 53 months. Versican isoforms V0 and V1 together with serum creatinine at time of biopsy and the degree of glomerulosclerosis predicted 20% and 24% of the variability of creatinine at follow up, which was significantly more than serum creatinine and histological parameters alone (16%). However, when patients with acute kidney failure at time of biopsy (n?=?5) were excluded, the additive predictive value of versican V1 was only marginally higher (35%) than creatinine and glomerulosclerosis alone (34%). Versican isoforms V0 and V1 were primarily expressed in vitro in proximal tubule cells and in fibroblasts. The results in humans were confirmed in three rodent models of kidney disease, in which renal versican expression was significantly upregulated as compared to corresponding controls. These data show for the first time an association of renal versican isoform V0 and V1 expression with progressive renal disease.
