Echinococcoses require the involvement of specialists from nearly all disciplines; standardization terminology used in field is thus crucial. To harmonize echinococcosis on sound scientific and linguistic grounds, World Association Echinococcosis launched a Formal Consensus process. Under coordination Steering Writing Group (SWG), Consultation Rating (CRG) had main missions (1) providing input list terms drafted by SWG, taking into account available literature participants' experience; (2)...
The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence and natural long-term progression gallbladder polyps in a random sample general population.Four hundred thirteen subjects (190 women, 223 men; aged 29-75 years) were studied first 2002 again eleven years later 2013. All interviewed using standardised questionnaire, anthropometric data recorded, an abdominal ultrasound scan carried out.The 6.1% (115/1880) 12.1% (50/413) 2013 follow-up study. After years, 36 (8.7%, 36/413) had developed...
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is caused by the metacestode stage of Echinococcus multilocularis. The inflammatory response to this infection influenced interaction parasite with host. We aimed analyze human liver lesions infected multilocularis and changes cellular infiltrates during albendazole (ABZ) treatment.We analyzed tissue samples from 8 untreated patients, 5 patients treated two daily doses 400 mg ABZ for up months 7 more than same therapy. A broad panel monoclonal antibodies was used...
The sonographic findings in alveolar echinococcosis (AE) and cystic (CE) are complex can pose significant differential diagnostic problems. They may present like complicated cysts or malignant tumors the liver. We will discuss difficulties pitfalls of these two diseases based on case histories.Die sonografischen Befunde bei Alveolärer Echinokokkose und Zystischer sind komplex können erhebliche differenzialdiagnostische Probleme aufwerfen. Sie sich wie komplizierte Zysten oder bösartige...
A variety of elastographic techniques have been developed to facilitate the non-invasive assessment tissue properties. The goal study was examine influence gender, age, BMI, alcohol consumption, and smoking in healthy volunteers.Of 263 participants who met all inclusion criteria, 234 had successful measurements. examination performed with Siemens Acuson S3000 (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany), using 6C1 curved array transducer virtual touch quantification (VTQ) method.The values...
The aim of the study was to compare methods for assessment vascularisation liver metastases (LM) between superb microvascular imaging (SMI), contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and density (MVD).SMI results were quantified as quotient (VQ), based on a grey-scale analysis with ImageJ image software. Those compared ultrasonography (CEUS) values, calculated VueBox®. MVD measured an anti-CD34 antibody.This included 13 patients LM. VQ showed strong correlation parameters ultrasound. ultrasound SMI...
This study uses virtual touch imaging quantification (VTIQ) technology for the first time to conduct measurements of trapezius and erector spinae muscles in a large population. The significance various influencing factors, such as age sex, are also examined.The population comprised 278 subjects. Siemens Acuson S3000 VTIQ were used (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany).The following mean values ± standard deviation calculated: left trapezius: males 2.89 0.38 m/s, females 2.71 0.37 m/s;...
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a rare zoonosis caused by the parasite
BACKGROUND The main endemic areas of alveolar echinococcosis (AE) are in Central Europe and Western China. Both the infiltration intrahepatic vascular bile duct structures as well extrahepatic disease can lead to further complications may increase morbidity patients with AE. AIM To evaluate vascular/biliary involvement hepatic AE its distant manifestations an international collective was aim. METHODS Consecutively, five experienced examiners evaluated contrast-enhanced abdominal computed...
Abstract Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) with 18F-fluorodesoxyglucose (FDG) is the imaging modality of choice for assessing inflammation surrounding hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE) lesions. This study first to evaluate FDG uptake in AE (n = 51) based on standardized value (SUV) and correlate SUVs primary morphology calcification patterns, Echinococcus multilocularis Ulm Classification Computed-Tomography (EMUC-CT). Our results show that were increased lesions...
Search for meaningful laboratory and anthropometric parameters in lean non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (lean NAFLD) the general population. Out of 2445 subjects a random population sample, we compared those who had body mass index (BMI) < 25 [lean NAFLD (LN), n = 5] with obese BMI > 30 but no [non-NAFLD (NN), 27] follow-up examination. Ultrasonic, were collected. There significant differences (p 0.05) between LN NN groups respect to serum ferritin (199.2 ± 72.1 vs 106.0 89.6 NN),...

Background . Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a rare zoonosis caused by the larval stage of tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis AE lesions affect liver in more than 98% cases. have various morphological characteristics that are described Ulm classification for computed tomography (EMUC-CT). One these cystoid portion. The aim study was to compare density simple hepatic cysts with portions classified on basis EMUC-CT. Results Hounsfield Unit (HU) measurements all EMUC-CT type I–IV ( n = 155)...
Background Alveolar (AE) and cystic echinococcosis (CE) in humans are caused by the metacestode of tapeworms Echinococcus multilocularis granulosus sensu lato (s . l ) Immunohistochemistry with monoclonal antibodies (mAb) Em2G11, specific for AE, mAb EmG3, AE CE, is an important pillar histological diagnosis these two infections. Our aim was to further evaluate EmG3 a diagnostic setting analyze detail localization, distribution, impact s mall p articles E chinococcus m ultiloculari (spems) g...
Human alveolar echinococcosis is caused by the parasite Echinococcus multilocularis, and dog ownership has been identified as a risk factor. We sought to specify factors of underlying this conducting case-control study among owners in Germany. The analysis revealed an increased odds ratio ≈7-fold for whose dogs roam unattended fields, 13-fold who feed their organic waste daily, 4-fold take veterinarian only case illness, 10-fold have never informed about infection. results highlight...
To determine normal values for acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) shear wave elastography of the Achilles tendon. Using VTIQ mode with Acuson S3000™ (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany), we measured velocity (SWV) in m/s and diameter mm both tendons 182 healthy volunteers. The tendon was displayed a sagittal view relaxed parameters were tested correlations anthropometric data subjects, between genders different age groups, as well information obtained from history, such smoking...
The main endemic areas for alveolar echinococcosis (AE) are in Central Europe and Western China, >98% of cases, AE manifests the liver. aim this work was to compare European Chinese patient groups number, size, computed tomography (CT) appearance hepatic lesions. A total 200 CT scans patients with were evaluated by four blinded, experienced radiologists from two (Besancon, Ulm) centres (Xining, Urumqi). In addition noting localisation lesions, morphological using Echinococcus multilocularis...
