  2. Article ; Online: Should ultrasound be used routinely in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis?

    Boylan, Maria

    Abstract Introduction: A growing body of evidence indicates the benefits of early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and prompt treatment with disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDS) in terms of relieving symptoms, improving prognosis, and reducing long-term complications. There is however some controversy over the most beneficial method of imaging in providing accurate early diagnosis. Though current practice favours clinical and radiological assessment, this is increasingly supplemented by ultrasound techniques (and, to a lesser extent, CT and MRI scanning). While EULAR and ESSR favour the use of ultrasonography (US) as the first-line investigation in cases of suspected RA, a recent NICE review upholds the traditional place of plain film radiographs of hands and feet to detect erosions as early signs of synovitis. This review considers the evidence for US in the early diagnosis of RA and the case for it becoming the primary assessment modality in rheumatology clinics.
    Aims: This paper aims to assess the current literature on the efficacy of ultrasonography in diagnosing early RA, by comparing US with alternative imaging modalities. The goal is to propose the most appropriate method of diagnosis to improve early initiation of DMARD treatment for optimum disease outcomes.
    Methods: Searches for related studies and review articles were carried out using electronic databases and hand searches. Additional references were gleaned from the bibliographies of included papers. Related articles and pop-outs from PubMed were also used. The search was refined in PubMed, by only using reviews which were written in English and published in past 10 years and had full free text available.
    Results: This review confirms that US has a high level of sensitivity in diagnosing RA (and hence a low risk of missing cases of RA which might benefit from early treatment with DMARDs). It also has a high level of specificity (and hence a low risk of falsely diagnosing somebody with RA who may suffer adverse effects of DMARD therapy). US is already widely available and well accepted by clinicians and patients. It does not involve exposure to radiation and can be readily delivered by appropriately trained staff.
    Conclusion: This review of relevant studies indicates that US should become accepted as the investigation with the most favourable balance of benefits to risks in the early diagnosis of RA. Given the continuing controversy surrounding studies of different imaging techniques in RA, further research into the diagnostic role of US in RA is indicated.

  5. Article ; Online: Internal hemipelvectomy with ischiectomy, partial acetabulectomy, and femoral head and neck excision in a cat with a pelvic osteochondroma.

    Abstract Case description: A 2-year-old 5.1-kg (11.2-lb) castrated male Siberian cat was examined because of a history of an abnormal right pelvic limb gait and a 4- to 5-month history of progressive constipation. Radiographs obtained by the referring veterinarian showed an osteoproductive and osteolytic bony lesion that involved the right ischium and filled the obturator foramen.
    Clinical findings: A hard mass was palpable in the right inguinal area, and rectal examination revealed a smooth bony mass on the ventral aspect of the right pelvic floor with marked reduction in the pelvic canal space. A 3.9 × 3 × 4.6-cm, mineralized mass bridging the right obturator foramen was present on CT images. The ventral component of the mass was slightly larger than its dorsal component, and lysis of the right pubic bone was present. There was no obvious soft tissue involvement.
    Treatment and outcome: A limb salvage procedure involving internal hemipelvectomy with ipsilateral ischiectomy, contralateral partial ischiectomy, ipsilateral partial acetabulectomy, and femoral head and neck excision was performed. Histologic examination revealed that the mass was an osteochondroma. The cat recovered well and had good functional limb use immediately after surgery. The cat was still alive 1 year after surgery with good limb use.
    Clinical relevance: Internal hemipelvectomy involving ischiectomy, partial acetabulectomy, and femoral head and neck excision can result in a good functional outcome in cats if the procedure is planned appropriately with a full understanding of the regional anatomy and adherence to surgical oncologic principles.

    Abstract Objective: To describe preoperative autologous blood donation (PABD) and transfusion in dogs undergoing elective surgical oncology procedures with a high risk of intraoperative hemorrhage.
    Study design: Prospective study.
    Animals: Twelve dogs.
    Methods: Dogs undergoing surgical oncology procedures associated with a high risk of hemorrhage were enrolled. Blood was collected a minimum of 6 days before surgery and separated into fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and packed red blood cells (pRBC). Dogs received FFP at the start of surgery and pRBC intraoperatively when hemorrhage ensued. The mean packed cell volume/total solids (PCV/TS) were calculated on the day of PABD preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and 24 hours after transfusion. The dogs were monitored for transfusion-related adverse reactions, including hyperthermia, hypotension, tachycardia, bradycardia, pale mucous membranes, prolonged capillary refill time, or tachypnea/dyspnea.
    Results: Dogs enrolled in the study underwent mandibulectomy, maxillectomy, chest wall resection, and liver lobectomy. Ten of the 12 dogs that underwent PABD received autologous transfusion at first signs of hemorrhage intraoperatively. Iatrogenic anemia was noted in two dogs (PCV 30% and 31%). The mean PCV/TS levels on the day of blood collection, preoperatively, immediately postoperatively (after transfusion), and 24 hours posttransfusion were 45.1%/7.1 g/dL, 42.2%/6.73 g/dL, 33.2%/5.42 g/dL, and 36.5%/5.65 g/dL, respectively. No dog developed transfusion-related complications.
    Conclusion: Preoperative autologous blood donation was well tolerated and led to uneventful autologous transfusion in 10 of 12 dogs.
    Clinical significance: Preoperative autologous blood donation and autologous transfusion are feasible for dogs undergoing elective surgical procedures with a high risk of hemorrhage.

    Title translation Höhere Amplituden bei visuell evozierten Potentialen im stationären Zustand, die durch Rechteckwellen- gegenüber Sinuswellen-Kontrastmodulation ausgelöst werden - eine Studie in zwei Labors. (DeepL)
    Abstract Steady-state visual evoked potentials (ssVEPs) are an established tool for assessing visuocortical responses in visual perception and attention. They have the same temporal frequency characteristics as a periodically modulated stimulus (e.g., in contrast or luminance) that drives them. It has been hypothesized that the amplitude of a given ssVEP may depend on the shape of the stimulus modulation function, but the size and robustness of these effects is not well established. The current study systematically compared the effect of the two most common functions in the ssVEP literature, square-wave and sine-wave functions. Across two laboratories, we presented mid-complex color patterns to 30 participants with square-wave or sine-wave contrast modulation and at different driving frequencies (6 Hz, 8.57 Hz, 15 Hz). When ssVEPs were analyzed independently for the samples, with each laboratory's standard processing pipeline, ssVEP amplitudes in both samples decreased at higher driving frequencies and square-wave modulation evoked higher amplitudes at lower frequencies (i.e., 6 Hz, 8.57 Hz) compared to sine-wave modulation. These effects were replicated when samples were aggregated and analyzed with the same processing pipeline. In addition, when using signal-to-noise ratios as outcome measures, this joint analysis indicated a somewhat weaker effect of increased ssVEP amplitudes to square-wave modulation at 15 Hz. The present study suggests that square-wave modulation should be used in ssVEP research when the goal is to maximize signal amplitude or signal-to-noise ratio. Given effects of modulation function across laboratories, and data processing pipelines, the findings appear robust to differences in data collection and analysis.
