Summary: This study aims to assess muscular abnormalities related to systemic sclerosis (SSc) using shear wave elastography and correlating results with clinical tests. The findings suggest that SSc not only involves increased skin and fascial thickness, but also differences in elasticity between muscles with and without SSc.

Summary: This systematic review analyzes the utility of ultrasound, including elastography, in autoimmune myositis (AIM) and finds evidence supporting its good metric properties, such as criterion and construct validity. However, further studies are needed to determine discrimination, reliability, and feasibility in AIM.

Summary: The interaction between formic acid and tar was studied using infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. The study found that formic acid existed in different forms in tar, which is significant for understanding the process of tar conversion into gasoline fractions in the presence of formic acid.

Summary: This study investigated the combined effects of radial shockwave and trigger point injection of lidocaine for upper trapezius myofascial pain syndrome. The results showed that the combined treatment was more effective in reducing pain and elastic stiffness compared to shockwave therapy alone.

Summary: The objective of this study was to assess the ultrasonographic patterns of different calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) formulations. Results showed that the ultrasonographic patterns of CaHA vary in the presence and intensity of PAS and the degree of inflammation, depending on the dilution and mix with HA.

Summary: Electric stimulation is used to treat certain diseases by changing cell morphology, status, and life cycle. To minimize side effects, ultrasound is being used to control piezoelectric effects of nano materials. Recent studies have shown that this method can induce biological changes and piezo-chemical reactions. However, technical problems and regulatory processes need to be addressed before widespread use.
