  2. 6. Ultrasound Examination in Infant Clubfoot with Special Emphasis on the Talonavicular and the Calcaneocuboid Joints

    Author : Ylva Aurell; Lund Diagnostisk radiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering; tomography; medical instrumentation; ultrasonography; Clinical physics; radiology; infant; foot deformities- congenital; anatomy; clubfoot;

    Abstract : The purpose of the study was to develop an ultrasound (US) protocol for evaluating congenital clubfoot pathoanatomy before and during early treatment. By using 3 easily defined and reproducible US projections the talonavicular and the calcaneocuboid joints were assessed. READ MORE

  4. 7. Standardized ultrasonography with cine-loop documentation : diagnostic variability in liver and kidney examinations

    Author : Stenman Carina; Örjan Smedby; Staffan Wirell; Marcus Ressner; Odd Helge Gilja; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Background: Ultrasound examination of the abdomen is often a first choice at radiology departments due to the lack of ionizing radiation. For diagnostic accuracy and economic benefits there has been a need for new routines in this area that incorporate the benefits of an radiographer or sonographer performing a multitude of ultrasound examinations following strictly standardized examination protocols and documentation forms made by cine-loops that will give the radiologist access to all relevant information needed for an accurate postexamination diagnosis.

    Keywords : Mild traumatic brain injuries; epidemiology; post-concussion symptoms; randomised controlled trial; health-related quality of life; rehabilitation; outcome; assessment methods; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Mild traumatic brain injury; epidemiology; health-related quality of life; post-concussion symptoms; rehabilitation; randomised controlled trial; outcome; assessment methods;

    Abstract : Aims: Studies I & II:To assess the incidence of Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) in western Sweden and to investigate health-related quality of life and post-concussion symptoms (PCS). Study III: To test the hypothesis that a programme of early rehabilitation for selected Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI) patients would reduce late sequelae. READ MORE

  6. 9. Endosonography of the anal spincter in women with particular reference to obstetric sphincter tears

    Author : Marianne Starck-Söndergaard; Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; anal sphincter; childbirth; obstetric sphincter tears; Anal endosonography; endosonographic sphincter defects; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to study the endosonographic morphology of the anal sphincter in women, to establish an endosonographic sphincter defect score and to relate it to anal incontinence and anal sphincter pressure. A further aim was to determine intra-observer and inter-observer agreement in detection of endosonographic anal sphincter defects. READ MORE

  7. 10. Dynamic ultrasound investigation of clubfeet, 0 - 4 years of age, with normal controls

    Author : Arne G. Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; clubfoot; ultrasonography; Ponseti treatment; congenital deformities; range of movement; repeatability; longitudinal study;

    Abstract : Clubfoot is one of the most common congenital deformities, 1-6/1,000 births in Europe and up to 5-6/1,000 in Polynesia. The Ponseti method is now widely regarded as the method of choice for treatment. The treatment starts soon after birth using manipulations and castings until the deformities are corrected, usually 6-10 weeks. READ MORE
