In vivo effect of platelet gel on human tendon and ligament healing: A narrative review
Tendon and ligament injuries remain a significant challenge for clinicians, despite considerable efforts to develop effective treatment methods. This study reviewed in vivo human studies investigating the use of platelet gel, a blood-derived biomaterial that enhances tissue healing, for treating…

Sonoanatomy and Stepwise/Systematic Ultrasound Examination of the Extrinsic/Intrinsic Wrist Ligaments
Ultrasound has emerged as the most useful imaging tool for investigating wrist and hand disorders, with several published ultrasound protocols having demonstrated their practicality in scanning the wrist tendons and nerves. However, ligaments of the wrist are networked in a complex manner…

Quantitative Ultrasonographic Analysis of Changes of the Suprascapular Nerve in the Aging Population With Shoulder Pain
BackgroundOlder people are vulnerable to painful shoulder syndromes, the majority of which are derived from degenerative rotator cuff pathologies. The suprascapular nerve (SSN) is closely related to the rotator cuff complex, and its role in shoulder pain has recently been highlighted. This study…

Predictive value of subacromial motion metrics for the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided dual-target injection: a longitudinal follow-up cohort trial
Abstract Objective Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) frequently causes shoulder pain. This study aimed to (1) assess the predictive utility of quantitative dynamic subacromial ultrasound for ultrasound-guided dual-target injections and (2) compare the long-term efficacy of dual-target…

Plasma levels of adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, and cortisol in sarcopenia: comparison with non-sarcopenic individuals and the impact of resistance exercise and nutrition interventions
Background Sarcopenia may disrupt the hypothalamic‒pituitary‒adrenal axis, affecting neurotransmitter and hormone levels. However, the impact of sarcopenia on these markers, particularly in comparison to non-sarcopenic controls, is understudied. Additionally, the effects of resistance exercise and…

Enhancing diagnosis and treatment of superior cluneal nerve entrapment: cadaveric, clinical, and ultrasonographic insights
Abstract Objectives Low back pain is a prevalent public health issue caused by superior cluneal nerve (SCN) entrapment. This study aimed to explore the course of SCN branches, cross-sectional area (CSA) of the nerves, and effects of ultrasound-guided SCN hydrodissection. Methods SCN distance…

Assessing thickness and stiffness of superficial/deep masticatory muscles in orofacial pain: an ultrasound and shear wave elastography study
AbstractIntroduction Sonoelastography has been increasingly used for non-invasive evaluation of the mechanical features of human tissues. The interplay between orofacial pain and regional muscle activity appears clinically paramount, although only few imaging studies have investigated this…

Ultrasound Imaging of Facial Vascular Neural Structures and Relevance to Aesthetic Injections: A Pictorial Essay
The facial and submental regions are supplied by complicated neurovascular networks; therefore, facial aesthetic injections may be associated with serious adverse events such as skin necrosis and blindness. Pre-injection localization of neurovascular structures using high-resolution ultrasound can…

Genetic diversity of the Thao people of Taiwan using Y-chromosome, mitochondrial DNA and HLA gene systems
Abstract Background Despite attempts in retracing the history of the Thao people in Taiwan using folktales, linguistics, physical anthropology, and ethnic studies, their history remains incomplete. The heritage of Thao has been associated with the Pazeh Western plains peoples and several other…

Ultrasound Imaging of the Facial Muscles and Relevance with Botulinum Toxin Injections: A Pictorial Essay and Narrative Review
High-resolution ultrasound is preferred as the first-line imaging modality for evaluation of superficial soft tissues, such as the facial muscles. In contrast to magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, which require specifically designated planes (axial, coronal and sagittal) for…

Quantitative Analysis of Dynamic Subacromial Ultrasonography: Reliability and Influencing Factors
Objective: Current imaging methods used to examine patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) are limited by their semi-quantitative nature and their capability of capturing dynamic movements. This study aimed to develop a quantitative analytic model to assess subacromial motions using…
