TL;DR: This paper considered some of the most frequent abdominal malignant tumors: the hepatocellular carcinoma and the colonic tumors, and improved the computerized, texture-based methods for performing computer-aided characterization and automatic diagnosis of these tumors, using only the information from ultrasound images.

TL;DR: In this paper, the epidemiology and management of dyspneic patients presenting to emergency departments (EDs) in an international patient population were described, and the secondary objective was to compare the EURODEM and AANZDEM patient populations, where the most common ED diagnoses were lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI), heart failure (HF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and asthma (10.5%).

TL;DR: The results demonstrate no significant differences between the conventional surface anatomy landmark technique and the ultrasound-guided technique for the insertion of a central venous catheter via EJV by inexperienced trainees.

TL;DR: The usefulness of CEUS is attested in quantifying the necrosis area in acute pancreatitis, with similar results to those obtained by CT.

TL;DR: This method appreciates the microcirculation in inflamed bowel segments in terms of qualitative and quantitative parameters and evaluates the extension and the activity of disease, as well as the presence of complications.
