Most of the fractures sustained during hoverboard use are commonly seen in everyday pediatric radiology practice, with an overall pattern paralleling that reported in association with skateboard use. However an otherwise uncommon fracture, the distal phalanx juxta-epiphyseal fracture, was identified in association with hoverboard use, and this finding has important treatment implications including need for irrigation and debridement, antibiotic therapy, and potential surgical fixation.
Ultrasound is convenient and useful to follow stents in hepatic artery stenosis after liver transplant. Prestenting hemodynamics can have value in predicting restenosis. Diagnosis of restenosis can be made with RI and PSV, whereas resolution time of tardus-parvus waveform is of less concern. These parameters can guide which patients require closer monitoring and aggressive treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
