Single-Center Study: Evaluating the Diagnostic Performance and Safety of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) in Pregnant Women to Assess Hepatic Lesions

Vincent Schwarze et al.
 
Ultrasound is an essential imaging tool for evaluating physiological and pathological fetal or maternal conditions during pregnancy. Published data is limited with respect to the application of CEUS during pregnancy. The aim of the present retrospective single-center study is to assess the diagnostic performance and safety of CEUS during pregnancy to evaluate hepatic lesions of unknown entity.

Intrauterine Fetal Growth Delay During Late Pregnancy After Maternal Gastric Bypass Surgery

Michael Feichtinger et al.

In pregnancy, obesity is associated with increased maternal morbidity and fetal morbidity and mortality. Within the past decade, bariatric surgery has evolved to be the most effective treatment for morbid obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate intrauterine growth tendencies of fetuses conceived after gastric bypass surgery and compare them to a BMI-matched control group. As a primary outcome measure, trajectories of fetal anthropometry (including abdominal circumference, head circumference, femur length) determined by ultrasound has been evaluated.

 

Long-Term Knowledge Retention after Peer-Assisted Abdominal Ultrasound Teaching: Is PAL a Successful Model for Achieving Knowledge Retention?

Nasenien Nourkami-Tutdibi et al.

Diagnostic ultrasound has a crucial importance in clinical settings, especially in intensive care medicine where bedside ultrasound has become indispensable. Medical students as well as residents therefore have a strong interest in learning this useful skill. Since staff resources are limited, more and more universities are using student tutors in a peer-assisted learning concept (PAL) to teach medical students early in their training. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether PAL is a suitable method for teaching complex skills like abdominal ultrasound and to evaluate whether students do achieve adequate longterm knowledge retention after peer-assisted teaching.
