Forearm fractures in children are a common presentation to the Emergency Department. Paediatric distal forearm fractures account for almost a third of all fractures in children, with a significant proportion of these diagnosed as buckle (torus) type fractures. These fractures are unique to childr...

Conotruncal abnormalities are those which include abnormalities of the great arterial connections and arrangement. They include Tetralogy of Fallot, Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect, Double outlet ventricles, Truncus arteriosus, Transposition of the great arteries and Interrupted ...
The diverse spectrum of acute finger injuries diagnosed with Ultrasound is a reflection of the hands complex anatomy and function, combined with an athlete's desire to challenge, refine and push to the limit this functionality.
High-resolution ultrasound probes now make identification of tendon ...
Introduction
Diagnostic thoracic ultrasound is increasingly being used by non-physicians; hence, we evaluated a curriculum for acute care physiotherapists in critical care.
Methods
The one-day course included didactic lectures combined with expert-led hands-on training. Participants undertook ...
When describing growth, a fetus may be appropriate for gestational age (AGA), too small (SGA, sometimes confused with intra uterine growth restriction, IUGR) or too large (LGA), a condition often defined as macrosomia. While the literature on IUGR is extensive and many lectures/conferences are de...
Balancing risks of surgery with risks of conservative management of benign adnexal masses
Patients in the neonatal intensive care often demonstrate clinical situations where hemodynamic compromise is common. Birth itself is the complex transition from placental blood flow to pulmonary blood flow as predominant provider of preload to the left heart, with redirection of blood flow over ...
While a relationship between large infrarenal aortic diameter and both cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence and all-cause mortality has been previously suggested, there is also evidence that small aortic size may also be associated with increased CVD risk. We examined a total of 4882 elderly (...
The use of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to quantify the presence or absence of an endovascular leak using ultrasound.
Calcification may occur in tendons due to multiple mechanisms. These include:
ï Degenerative: necrosis of tenocytes due to ischaemia or repetitive trauma
ï ëTraction spursí: endochondral ossification at tendon or ligament insertions
ï Crystallopathy
Calcific tendinosis is a crystal arthropath...
The management of the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, has been revolutionised in the last decade by the availability of efficacious medical therapies and by the adoption of effective new treatment strategies utilising these agents. The most effective med...
Diastolic function in echocardiography aims to cover; 1. Normal diastolic function including normal haemodynamics, LV relaxation and echocardiography physiology; 2. Diastolic dysfunction including haemodynamic changes, echo pathophysiology and grading of diastolic dysfunction.
Ultrasound of the brachial plexus is complex both anatomically and sonographically. This presentation aims to explain this in more detail.
