Summary: In patients with Achilles tendinopathy, traditional sonographic measures showed increased tendon thickness, hyperemia, and hypoechogenicity in the symptomatic tendon compared to the contralateral side. However, lower shear wave speed (SWS) was observed only in the free tendon, indicating localized alterations in tendon elasticity associated with Achilles tendinopathy.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the role of ultrasonography, contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging in evaluating ileal Crohn's disease activity. The results showed that magnetic resonance imaging had a better correlation with clinical severity scores and faecal calprotectin levels. Further studies are needed to validate these results.

Summary: This study examined the risk of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and revascularizations in PsA patients treated with apremilast compared to other treatments. Results showed that apremilast did not significantly increase the risk of these serious cardiac events, with similar incidence rates across different treatment options.

Summary: The study used high-frequency ultrasound to measure the rotator cuff tendon thickness and width, acromioclavicular joint space, and subacromion-subdeltoid bursa thickness in healthy adult Sudanese. These findings can serve as standard reference levels for early diagnosis of musculoskeletal diseases.

Summary: This study aims to assess the safety of secukinumab and TNF inhibitors in the treatment of SpA and PsA. The study found that the risk of hospitalized infection during the first year of treatment with secukinumab was higher compared to adalimumab, potentially due to confounding factors.

Summary: This research explores the method of using artificial intelligence to capture complementary responsible frames from breast ultrasound screening in AI-assisted breast diagnosis. The AI model based on FEBrNet-recommended frames outperforms other frame set based AI models, as well as ultrasound and mammography physicians, indicating the level of FEBrNet reaching medical specialists.

Summary: There is limited evidence on the natural course of small upper gastrointestinal subepithelial lesions (SELs). This study aims to determine the natural course of these lesions and identify risk factors associated with size increase. 672 small SELs were analyzed through endoscopic ultrasonography and followed up for at least 36 months. A minority (14.4%) showed an increase in size, with initial size, presence of a hemorrhagic spot, and presence of a lesion in the fourth layer being significant risk factors. Transparent appearances and calcification were inversely related to size increase. An individualized follow-up strategy should be considered for patients with hemorrhagic spots and lesions in the fourth layer.

Summary: The study compared the accuracy of focused lung ultrasound (FLUS) with systematic thoracic ultrasonography (TUS) for diagnosing pneumonia in dairy calves, finding that FLUS showed high sensitivity and accuracy in diagnosing the disease, making it a useful additional tool for assessment.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of Ramadan intermittent fasting on anthropometric and metabolic indices, gastrointestinal symptoms, and motility. The results showed that Ramadan fasting decreased body weight, BMI, and waist circumference, improved gastrointestinal symptoms and motility, and also improved metabolic profile and insulin resistance.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed emergency ultrasound and CT images of patients with anisakiasis to evaluate the frequency of various signs according to the location of gastrointestinal tract involvement. The results showed that the most common CT findings in gastric cases were wall stratification and thickening, fat stranding, and ascitic fluid, while in intestinal cases, wall thickening, fat edema, and vessel engorgement were frequently observed. These different radiological signs suggest the inclusion of anisakiasis in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether CEUS can visualize orally administered Sonazoid leaking into the peritoneal cavity in a postoperative stomach leakage mouse model. The results showed that CEUS with oral Sonazoid administration efficiently visualized the contrast medium spreading within the peritoneal cavity. This study is of great significance for the diagnosis of postoperative stomach leakage.

Summary: Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease characterized by reduced bone mass and strength, increasing the risk of fractures. Gastrointestinal diseases may have significant implications for bone health, though research in this area is currently limited.

Summary: The study found that chronic pain itself is not associated with premature mortality in patients with PsA, but recent glucocorticoid use and concurrent comorbidities are significantly linked to excess mortality.

Summary: This paper explores the balance between exploration and exploitation in a global optimization task. Experimental analysis suggests that human behavior may deviate from rationality in situations where improvement seems impossible and the budget is running out, leading to a behavior called exasperated exploration. The development of an interpretable machine learning model based on decision tree learning helps to classify between Pareto and non-Pareto decisions, and a synthetic human searcher/optimizer proves to be more effective and efficient in half of the test problems compared to Bayesian optimization.
