Filter by:Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common entrapment neuropathy and is frequently encountered in clinical practice. Although there is no standard protocol for its treatment, conservative treatment methods are preferred. In our study, we aimed to clinically compare the efficacy of high and low intensity laser treatments in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. By using methods such as electromyography and ultrasound, we aimed to provide a more objective evaluation
The goal of this observational study is to compare the measurements of abdominal aorta width via palpation and point of care ultrasound imaging in healthy individuals. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is there a measurement difference in abdominal aorta width in healthy individuals as measured by palpation and point of care ultrasound imaging? - Are palpation measurements and point of care ultrasound imaging measurements reliable when performed by physical therapy researchers? Participants will be asked to have their abdominal area be palpated around the umbilicus and will have ultrasound imaging performed over their abdominal aorta area. It is anticipated participation in the study will take less than 15 minutes. Subjects will be asked to return for a repeat visit within 1 month to determine reliability of measurements.
The goal of this observational study is to assess the accuracy of Artificial Intelligence (AI) software to assist ultrasound scanning prior to peripheral nerve blocks. 40 healthy volunteers are going to be accepted to this study in which ultrasound scanning will be performed for four different block types. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can Nerveblox, the artificial intelligence software highlight and find the key anatomical landmarks on the provided nerve or plane block correctly? - Can the user obtain a correct view of provided nerve or plane block, when the AI software scan success reaches 100%? Participants will be evaluated under four nerve block regions to identify their key anatomical landmarks using ultrasound-guided artificial intelligence software. Three residents with different levels of Ultrasound-guided Regional Anesthesia(UGRA) experience but eligible to perform UGRA techniques will collect the ultrasound images when the artificial intelligence software scan success fed by ultrasound reached 100%. After collecting US images, each pair of US images(highlighted and raw ) will be evaluated by 2 experts for the accuracy of AI assistance, independently and blindly.
The overall goal of this study is to investigate the effects of a 6-week training program between two hamstring exercises-the Romanian deadlift (RDL) and the Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE)-on hamstring strain injury risk factors and sprint performance.
Post-operative monitoring of all patients after anaesthesia in the post anaesthesia care unit (PACU) is standard of care today. It helps to reduce morbidity and even mortality in high-risk patients. In addition to clinical monitoring by qualified staff, standard monitoring in the PACU includes non-invasive, intermittent, haemodynamic monitoring. This research is going to investigate the influence of the continuation of goal directed haemodynamic optimization in the recovery room on the basis of non-invasive monitoring tools, i.e. ultrasound and the volume-clamp method, in regard of length of stay in the PACU and postoperative complications.
The goal of this study is to investigate potential relations of ultrasound-based muscle architecture parameters and isometric knee flexor muscle strength (IKFS) in healthy individuals. IKFS was measured for twenty participants (22.15±2.41 y.o; 8 females, 12 males) by a hand-held dynamometer. Investigated parameters were total and individual cross-sectional areas (CSA), Muscle-Thickness (MT), and pennation-angle (PA) for Biceps Femoris-long head (LBF), Semitendinosus (ST) and Semimembranosus (SM) muscles at 25%, 50% and 75% length of the thigh.
After endotracheal intubation verifying the location of endotracheal tube is of utmost importance. Many methods have been applied but none is perfect. The standard practice in the investigator's center has been to use auscultation of chest with capnography. Ultrasound machines are now gaining popularity and their access extends from operation theatres, emergency rooms and even many primary health centres. Both capnography and ultrasonography are safe. This study found out that Ultrasonography and waveform capnography are both reliable methods of confirming endotracheal tube position. The use of ultrasound could help reduce time and increase precision of confirming endotracheal tube position. Ultrasound can confirm endotracheal tube position before manual bag ventilations, and thus may prevent aspiration of gastric contents into patient's lungs.
This mutlicentre study at three hospitals in south Wales, UK, will be used to determine if modern machine learning techniques can help the anaesthetist locate the target by highlighting key anatomical features on the ultrasound image in real time. The study consists of two phases: The objective of Phase I is to train a computer-aided system to identify target structures in regional anaesthesia when applied in the following categories: - Adductor canal - Popliteal - Fascia Iliaca - Rectus sheath - Axillary The objective of Phase II is to estimate the success rate and safety of the computer system being developed.
