    Abstract Purpose: Shear wave elastography (SWE) has seen many advancements in Achilles tendon evaluation in recent years, yet standardization of this technique is still problematic due to the lack of knowledge regarding the optimal way to perform the examination. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of ankle position, probe frequency and physical effort on the shear modulus of the Achilles tendon, but also to determine the intra and inter-observer reliability of the technique.
    Methods: 37 healthy volunteers were included; SWE protocol was performed by two examiners. We analyzed the shear modulus of the tendon with the ankle in neutral, maximum dorsiflexion and maximum plantar flexion using two different high frequency probes. Afterwards, the subjects performed a brief physical exercise and SWE measurements were repeated.
    Results: The L18-5 probe showed the highest ICC values (ICC = 0.798, 95% CI 0.660-0.880, p < 0.001) when positioned at 2 cm from the calcaneal insertion with the ankle in a neutral state. Conversely, utilizing the same L18-5 probe at 1 cm from the insertion during maximum plantar flexion of the ankle resulted in the lowest ICC (ICC = 0.422, 95% CI 0.032-0.655, p = 0.019). Significant variations in elasticity values were noted among different ankle positions and probe types, while no significant changes in elasticity were observed post-physical exercise.
    Conclusion: Ankle position and probe frequency are factors that influence elasticity values of the Achilles tendon. An ankle position between 10 and 20 degrees of plantar flexion is the most suitable for SWE evaluation. However, more research focusing on Achilles tendon SWE is essential due to the challenges encountered in standardizing this region.

    Abstract Aim: There is no clear standardization for tendon Shear Wave Elastography (SWE), and data regarding the factors that influence the correctness of evaluation are scarce. We aimed to determine the intra- and interobserver agreement in patellar tendon SWE, and to establish the influence of various factors on elasticity values.
    Materials and methods: We recruited 37 healthy volunteers; SWE of the patellar tendon was performed by two examiners. The following factors were analyzed: probe frequency, degree of joint flexion, size of region of interest (ROI), distance of the color box from the probe footprint, utilization of coupling gel as standoff, and the effect of physical exercise on elastic modulus values.
    Results: Highest overall interobserver [k=0.767, 95%CI (0.717-0.799), p<0.001] and intraobserver agreement [k=0.920 (0.909-0.929) for examiner 1, k=0.891 (0.875-0.905) for examiner 2] was obtained with the knee in the neutral position, using the L18-5 probe. With the knee flexed at 30º and 45º, the elasticity values were higher compared to the neutral position (p<0.001). With the probe immersed in 0.25 and 0.50 cm coupling gel, the median values were lower compared to the probe placed on the skin (p=0.001, p=0.018). The ROI dimensions and the placement of the SWE box at the level of the skin or at 0.5 cm below skin did not significantly influence the elastic modulus. After physical exercise, the elasticity values decreased in the proximal and middle portion of the tendon (p=0.002, p<0.001).
    Conclusion: The best results obtained in patellar tendon SWE were with the knee in neutral position, in the proximal or middle tendon, after 10 minutes of relaxation and with the probe placed directly on the skin with minimal pressure. The size and position of ROI do not significantly influence the examination.

    Abstract Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) has become almost indispensable in the rheumatology settings nowadays, allowing early diagnosis, careful guidance during procedures such as joint injections and therapy monitoring. Nonetheless, the applicability of MSUS in pediatric population is still limited. Recently, a standardized MSUS examination procedure in pediatric patients with rheumatic diseases, definitions for synovitis and the sonographic features of joints in healthy children has been developed. Also, important data on age-related  vascularization and ossification of joints in children have been published. Much work still needs to be done in the field. As juvenile idiopathic arthritis seems to be the most common use of MSUS in pediatric rheumatology, specific definitions and assessment techniques for enthesitis, tenosynovitis, bone and cartilage damage in children are very much expected. In this article, we will review briefly the current evidence-based knowledge regarding MSUS potential applications in the pediatric rheumatology clinical practice, along with an overview of the recent information about US appearance of musculoskeletal structures in healthy children.

    Abstract Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) are the newest treatment for diabetes mellitus (DM). These drugs can down-regulate fasting glucose more than oral drugs and lead to more constant glucose levels compared to regular insulin. Acute pancreatitis is a serious condition that may have a fatal outcome. It has been shown that long term and high doses of GLP-1RA can cause pancreatic changes in animals, but no connection has been proven in humans. We present the case of a 67 years old man with DM treated with oral drugs for 10 years until 3 months before, when GLP-1RA was added. He presented progressive abdominal pain, vomiting, and increased level of serum lipase and amylase were found. Ultrasonography and computed tomography found pancreatic and peripancreatic fatty tissue inflammation (inflammation score 2, necrosis score 0). All the etiologies of acute pancreatitis (lithiasis, alcohol, autoimmune, or trauma) were excluded. After GLP-1RA cessation and supportive treatment the evolution was self-limited with full recovery within 5 days. We concluded that acute pancreatitis can be considered a side effect of the GLP-1 treatment.

    Abstract Trichinellosis, a parasitosis transmitted through consumption of raw or undercooked meat from pigs and game animals, is responsible for a specific myositis. The calcifications of infected myocytes and larva can be detected during many years postin-fection. We present the case of a male patient with a history of severe trichinellosis with disease onset 30 years ago, presenting with generalized muscle microcalcifications detected during musculoskeletal ultrasound evaluation. The ultrasound aspect of the muscles was indeed spectacular; hence, the comparison with a "starry night".

    Abstract Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) represents a severe complication and the main cause of morbidity in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). This study aimed to assess the role of textural analysis (TA) in revealing lymphoma-associated imaging parameters in the parotid gland (PG) parenchyma of patients with pSS. This retrospective study included a total of 36 patients (54.93 ± 13.34 years old; 91.6% females) diagnosed with pSS according to the American College of Rheumatology and the European League Against Rheumatism criteria (24 subjects with pSS and no lymphomatous proliferation; 12 subjects with pSS and NHL development in the PG, confirmed by the histopathological analysis). All subjects underwent MR scanning between January 2018 and October 2022. The coronal STIR PROPELLER sequence was employed to segment PG and perform TA using the MaZda5 software. A total of 65 PGs underwent segmentation and texture feature extraction (48 PGs were included in the pSS control group, and 17 PGs were included in the pSS NHL group). Following parameter reduction techniques, univariate analysis, multivariate regression, and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis, the following TA parameters proved to be independently associated with NHL development in pSS: CH4S6_Sum_Variance and CV4S6_Inverse_Difference_Moment, with an area under ROC of 0.800 and 0.875, respectively. The radiomic model (resulting by combining the two previously independent TA features), presented 94.12% sensitivity and 85.42% specificity in differentiating between the two studied groups, reaching the highest area under ROC of 0.931 for the chosen cutoff value of 1.556. This study suggests the potential role of radiomics in revealing new imaging biomarkers that might serve as useful predictors for lymphoma development in patients with pSS. Further research on multicentric cohorts is warranted to confirm the obtained results and the added benefit of TA in risk stratification for patients with pSS.
