Applying patient-centred care to surgical intervention

TL;DR: This paper argues in favor of using PCC interventions to support individuals who have undergone a cardiovascular surgical procedure, and considerations for designing and evaluating PCC-based cardiovascular surgical interventions are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ultrasound applications in critical care medicine.

TL;DR: Point-of-care ultrasound applications such as lung ultrasound are gradually replacing traditional imaging modalities (i.e., chest X-rays), while the use of ultrasound for procedure guidance has been shown to reduce complications and thus to increase patients' safety.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-resolution ultrasound of surface bones.

TL;DR: Theoretisch unterscheiden sich die Schallleitungsgeschwindigkeiten in Weichteilgeweben des menschlichen Kçrpers nur wenig, aber Knochen zeigt eine deutlich hçhere akustische Impedanz.

Intraoperative and Laparoscopic Ultrasound During Pancreatic Surgery

TL;DR: This chapter explores the current uses of ultrasound in pancreatic surgery, and discusses proper preoperative patient setup, intraoperative ultrasound technology, normal anatomic findings, and general indications for use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Artifacts and Technical Considerations at Contrast-enhanced US.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors review the principles of ultrasound-specific contrast agents (UCAs) and the sound-microbubble interaction, as well as the technical aspects of image generation.

New Guidelines to Evaluate the Response to Treatment in Solid Tumors

TL;DR: A model by which a combined assessment of all existing lesions, characterized by target lesions and nontarget lesions, is used to extrapolate an overall response to treatment is proposed, which is largely validated by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Group and integrated into the present guidelines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Percutaneous radio-frequency ablation of hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer: long-term results in 117 patients.

TL;DR: RF ablation is an effective method to treat hepatic metastases from colorectal carcinoma and Frequency and time to local recurrence were related to lesion size (P < or =.001).
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Radio-frequency Ablation of Medium and Large Lesions

TL;DR: RF ablation appears to be an effective, safe, and relatively simple procedure for the treatment of medium and large HCCs in patients with cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Percutaneous RF interstitial thermal ablation in the treatment of hepatic cancer.

TL;DR: RF interstitial thermal ablation is a useful percutaneous treatment for hepatic cancer and in the patients treated for metastatic nodules, posttreatment imaging studies showed necrosis that varied from 80% to 100% in all cases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pulse inversion Doppler: a new method for detecting nonlinear echoes from microbubble contrast agents

TL;DR: In vitro measurements comparing flowing agent and cellulose particles suggest that pulse inversion Doppler can provide 3 to 10 dB more agent to tissue contrast than harmonic imaging with similar pulses, and in vitro measurements suggest that broadband pulse inverts can provide up to 16 dB more contrast than broadband conventional Dopplers.
