Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is rapidly becoming ubiquitous across healthcare specialties. This due to several factors including its portability, immediacy of results guide clinical decision-making, and lack radiation exposure patients. The recent growth handheld devices has improved access for many clinicians. Few studies have directly compared different among themselves or cart-based machines. We conducted a prospective observational study comparing four common ease use, image quality,...
As we age, there is an increased risk for the development of tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium (Mtb) infection. Few studies consider that age-associated changes in alveolar lining fluid (ALF) may increase susceptibility altering soluble mediators innate immunity. We assessed impact adult or elderly human ALF during Mtb infection vitro and vivo. identified amplification pro-oxidative proinflammatory pathways decreased binding capability surfactant-associated surfactant protein A...
Abstract Background Lack of training is currently the most common barrier to implementation point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) use in clinical practice, and in-person POCUS continuing medical education (CME) courses have been paramount improving this gap. Due travel restrictions physical distancing requirements during COVID-19 pandemic, were cancelled. Though tele-ultrasound technology has existed for several years, deliver hands-on a CME course not previously described. Methods We conducted...
We reviewed our experience with fat poor cases of angiomyolipoma.The records patients angiomyolipoma, as determined by pathological study, from 1998 to 2004 were recording patient demographics and outcomes. Fat defined the failure imaging demonstrate in a lesion. Computerized tomography histological characteristics assessed.Histologically confirmed angiomyolipoma was found 15 patients. Multiple lesions 3 (20%). Of these who underwent surgery 11 (73%) had unsuspected due absent on...
Hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) are at risk for developing secondary fungal infections due to greater incidence of preexisting comorbidities and exposure iatrogenic factors such as corticosteroid use. We present the case a 44-year-old Hispanic female discovered unresponsive in her home that was found have severe hyperglycemia comorbid COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) associated pneumonia. The patient intubated treated several...
BackgroundPoint-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become an integral part of critical care medicine for procedural guidance, bedside diagnostics, and assessing response to treatment. Multiple societies recommend POCUS use, training been a requirement fellowship since 2012. Yet, current practice patterns use in ICUs are not well known.Research QuestionThis study aimed characterize needs, barriers among intensivists.Study Design MethodsA prospective observational all Veterans Affairs (VA) medical...
Point-of-care lung ultrasound (LUS) is an attractive alternative to chest X-ray (CXR), but its diagnostic accuracy compared CXR has not been well studied in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. We conducted a prospective observational study assess the correlation between LUS and findings COVID-19 Ninety-six patients with clinical diagnosis of underwent exam upon presentation. Physicians blinded performed all exams. Detection pulmonary infiltrates by versus was categorized as...
Abstract Background Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training has been increasing among internal medicine (IM) residency programs, but few programs can provide longitudinal due to barriers such as lack of trained faculty. Aim Describe the development a POCUS track for IM residents using local and external resources, including national certificate program. Setting University-based program affiliated with public veterans affairs hospital. Participants Twelve from 2018 2021. Program Description...

A woman in her 50s presented for surveillance bronchoscopy 3 months after bilateral lung transplantation alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. She was asymptomatic and physical examination unremarkable. While performing a prebronchoscopy pleural ultrasound to assess
A 56-year-old woman underwent a bronchoscopy with transbronchial biopsy for work up of interstitial lung disease. The procedure was uneventful and preprocedure immediately postprocedure ultrasound examinations demonstrated no evidence pneumothorax ([video 1][1]). Per hospital protocol,
