Background. The maximum duration of vascular access for hemodialysis functioning rarely exceeds 4 years. The main tool for diagnosing access dysfunction is duplex ultrasound. Dynamic ultrasound examination of vascular access is not included in the standard examination of patient undergoing hemodialysis in Russia.Objective. To study the structure of complications and changes in hemodynamics in the vascular access for hemodialysis and to determine the risk factors contributing to its development.Design and methods. Ultrasound, clinical and laboratory examination was performed in 550 patients undergoing program hemodialysis, 517 (94.0 %) of them had arteriovenous fistula, 33 (6.0 %) patients had arteriovenous graft.Results. Vascular access complications occurred in 26.7 % (147 patients), there was no significant difference in the detection rate of thrombosis (26.5 %), stenosis (23.8 %), and aneurysm (21.1 %). A combination of two complications was observed in 20.4 %, the steal syndrome — in 8.2 %. A correlation was established between the presence of significant stenosis, aneurysm of the outflow vein and the development of thrombosis, between the presence of concomitant diseases of the peripheral arteries and the development of steal syndrome and stenosis of the inflow artery and the anastomosis zone.Conclusion. Duplex ultrasound allows to diagnose complications of vascular access for hemodialysis and determine its causes.

Introduction: Peroneal longus dislocation is an uncommon sports injury and commonly misdiagnosed. Imaging measure includes plain radiography, ultrasonography, and MRI examination. Treatment strategies include controversial nonoperative treatment with a significant failure rate and several surgical procedures were reported. We reporting a chronic peroneal longus dislocation case in our hospital. Material and methods: Twenty-two years old male presented with a painful snapping lateral ankle suffered 3-month prior surgery. He played futsal and suddenly he felt popped on his ankle followed by pain and swelling. Dynamic ultrasound examination shows dislocation of peroneal longus tendon and convex shape of the retromalleolar groove. A five-centimeter long incision is made posterior to the lateral malleolus and during exploration we confirmed the ultrasound findings. We perform retromalleolar groove deepening by making bone flap medially, curette the cancellous bone and tamper back the bone flap, followed by superior peroneal retinaculum (SPR) reconstruction to the medial aspect of lateral cortex of the lateral malleolus to provide smooth gliding surface. We immobilize the ankle with a cast for six weeks for soft tissue healing. Result: After six weeks he can perform the almost full range of motion of the ankle without pain. Followed by further physiotherapy to regain full range of motion of the ankle. He returns to sport six months after surgery. Ultrasound examination shows the stability of the peroneal longus tendon. Conclusion: Dynamic ultrasound examination and retromalleolar groove deepening with SPR reconstruction are simple and inexpensive management for peroneal longus dislocation

Abstract Background Subacromial impingement is the most frequent cause of shoulder pain, accounting for up to 60% of all shoulder complaints; dynamic high-resolution ultrasonography can be used in the detection of different abnormalities causing and related to shoulder impingement. This is compared to MRI, which we considered as a standard in our cases. Results Fifty patients presented with symptoms of painful shoulder with 42 patients of them having limited movements of their shoulders. All patients had a conventional B-mode ultrasound examination, and dynamic sonographic examination was also performed in all patients. The results were compared to the MRI examination results of those patients. The addition of dynamic ultrasound examination for diagnosis of the painful shoulder showed the highest sensitivity in the assessment of impingement syndrome and for detection of different abnormalities affecting the shoulder joint (e.g., 85.7% for rotator cuff partial-thickness tear, 90% for rotator cuff full-thickness tear). Conclusion Based on our results, the static US combined with dynamic study can be a helpful tool in detecting different abnormalities of the painful shoulder especially impingement syndrome and its different causes.

This article describes a case of the dynamic ultrasound examination of multicystic dysplasia of the fetal left kidney from 20 weeks of gestation until the birth. The huge enlargement of one of the cysts with an abdominal compression was revealed at 24–25 weeks of gestation. The aspiration of the contents of the cyst was performed triples. The cyst regression was marked at 36–37 weeks of gestation. The postnatal ultrasound examination confirmed the multicystic dysplasia of the left kidney.

Objective: to identify ultrasound (US) signs of intestinal failure syndrome (IFS) in patients with combined trauma and to determine their compliance with the clinical classification of IFS. In the process of dynamic ultrasound monitoring in 18 patients on the 5–7th day, gastrointestinal motility recovered with a decrease in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) to normal, which corresponded to stage I of IIS. In 12 patients, gastrostasis and expansion of the small intestine, an increase in the linear blood flow velocity in the portal vein up to 30 cm/sec, IAP up to 20 mm Hg were observed which corresponded to stage II of IFS. On the 15–20th day, 3 patients with stage III of IFS recovered gastrointestinal motility, 9 patients died due to multiple organ failure. Ultrasound revealed an increase in the liver and spleen with portal hypertension, edema of the walls of the small and large intestines was observed, intra-abdominal pressure increased, which corresponded to stage III of intestinal failure.Results. The results of ultrasound in dynamics with an assessment of the morphological and functional state of the gastrointestinal tract confirm their compliance with the stages of the clinical classification of intestinal failure syndrome. With the help of ultrasound with dopplerography and measurement of IAP, it was possible to objectify the clinical classification of intestinal failure syndrome.

Abstract. Background: The beneficial effect of statin therapy on the progress of atherosclerotic disease has been demonstrated by numerous studies. Vascular strain imaging is an arising method to evaluate arterial stiffness. Our study examined whether an influence of statin therapy on the vessel wall could be detected by vascular strain imaging. Patients and methods: 88 patients with recently detected atherosclerosis underwent an angiological examination including ankle-brachial index (ABI), pulse wave index (PWI), central puls ewave velocity and duplex ultrasound. Captures for vascular strain analysis were taken in B-mode during ultrasound examination of the common carotid artery and evaluated using a workstation equipped with a speckle tracking based software. A statin therapy was recommended and after six months a follow-up examination took place. Meanwhile, the non-adherence of a group of patients (N = 18) lead to a possibility to observe statin effects on the vascular strain. Results: In the statin non-adherent group the ABI decreased significantly to a still non-pathological level (1.2 ± 0.2 vs. 1.0 ± 0.2; p = 0.016) whereas it stagnated in the adherent group (1.0 ± 0.2 vs. 1.0 ± 0.2; p = 0.383). The PWI did not differ in the non-adherent group (180.5 ± 71.9 vs. 164.4 ± 75.8; p = 0.436) but under statin therapy it decreased significantly (261.8 ± 238.6 vs. 196.4 ± 137.4; p = 0.016). In comparison to the adherent group (4.2 ± 2.0 vs. 4.0 ± 1.8; p = 0.548) under statin therapy the radial strain decreased significantly in the non-adherent group (4.7 ± 2.0 vs. 3.3 ± 1.1; p = 0.014). Conclusions: Our findings reveal a beneficial influence of statin therapy on the arterial wall detected by vascular strain analysis.
