Abstract

Trauma is the biggest cause of death in young people. Among these traumas, 80% are blunt traumas, mostly to the thorax and abdomen. Blunt trauma can cause bleeding, which increases mortality. Prompt intervention can reduce mortality. eFAST (extended focused assessment with sonography for trauma) is a bedside ultrasound examination indicated for abdominal and thoracic trauma patients, which is limited to 4 examination windows in the abdomen to evaluate for hemoperitoneum, hemothorax, and pericardial effusion. The eFAST examination uses ultrasound equipment that is widely available in the emergency department and can be performed bedside, making it less time-consuming. eFAST has a high sensitivity and specificity, which is helpful in its role as a screening modality. The eFAST examination has many advantages, such as ease of use, being noninvasive, being fast, being easy to find, and not using radiation or contrast material, making it safe for children and pregnant women, and being inexpensive. The eFAST examination is important for the diagnosis of thoracoabdominal trauma, as it enables rapid screening.

Abstract

Arthritis is a common disease that often causes activity limitations. The diagnosis of inflammatory arthritis requires conventional radiography as the primary modality. Assessment of alignment (A), bone (B), cartilage loss (C), demineralization (D), erosion (E), and soft tissue swelling (S) on radiographs is necessary to differentiate the three most common inflammatory arthritides: rheumatoidarthritis, gouty arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Each type of arthritis has characteristic radiological features that are important for diagnosis. Rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by marginal erosion in bare areas, periarticular osteopenia, and uniform joint space narrowing with bilateral symmetrical distribution. Gouty arthritis shows punched-out erosion with overhanging edges, tophi deposits, and normal bone mineralization. Psoriatic arthritis has characteristic marginal erosions accompanied by new bone formation, pencilin- cup deformities, and dactylitis. Understanding the differences in the radiological features of these three diseases is important for establishing an accurate diagnosis and determining appropriate therapy. The combination of radiographic examination with clinical and laboratory data is expected to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce disease progression.
