Pancreas01:19

Pancreas

2.2K
The pancreas, an essential organ in the human body, is a pinkish-gray elongated structure located posterior to the stomach. It extends laterally from the duodenum towards the spleen and is firmly bound to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity. The organ's surface has a lumpy, lobular texture that gives it a unique appearance.
The broad head of the pancreas lies within the loop formed by the duodenum, while its slender body reaches towards the spleen. The tail of the pancreas is short...

Cells and Secretions of the Pancreas

4.5K
The pancreas, a vital organ within the abdominal cavity, plays dual roles in the digestive and endocrine systems, collaborating with exocrine and endocrine cells to maintain optimal digestion and blood sugar levels.
Exocrine function is carried out by acinar cells, organized into clusters known as acini. These cells contribute to digestion by releasing substantial quantities of enzyme-rich, alkaline digestive juices.
Concurrently, the dispersed clusters of endocrine cells throughout the...

Econometric Views (EViews)

566
Econometric Views, often stylized as EViews, is a package that merges statistical analysis with econometric studies. It is designed to provide tools for time series analysis, forecasting, and econometric model simulation. The software originated from MicroTSP software and has evolved significantly since its inception in 1981. The history of EViews is marked by a continuous effort to enhance its computational speed and user interface. It was initially developed for large computing systems but...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

4.4K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition01:24

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

293
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

Electrical Current01:10

Electrical Current

6.9K
Electrical current is defined as the rate at which charge flows. When there is a large current present, such as that used to run a refrigerator, a large amount of charge moves through the wire in a small amount of time. If the current is small, such as that used to operate a handheld calculator, a small amount of charge moves through the circuit over a long period of time. The SI unit for current is the ampere (A), named for the French physicist André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836).

Summary

Ultrasound elastography assesses pancreatic tissue stiffness. While strain elastography is useful for small lesions, its effectiveness decreases for larger, heterogeneous pancreatic masses.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Gastroenterology
  • Diagnostic Ultrasound

Background:

  • Ultrasound elastography (USE) provides non-invasive assessment of pancreatic tissue stiffness.
  • Strain elastography via endoscopic ultrasound is established for characterizing small solid pancreatic lesions (SPL).
  • Limitations exist for larger SPLs (>30 mm) due to lesion heterogeneity and surrounding tissue changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current applications and role of ultrasound elastography in pancreatic imaging.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of different USE techniques for pancreatic lesions.
  • To determine the evolving role of shear wave elastography in pancreatic assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on ultrasound elastography of the pancreas.
  • Focus on strain elastography for small solid pancreatic lesions.
  • Discussion of limitations and emerging techniques like shear wave elastography.

Main Results:

  • Strain elastography is effective for small solid pancreatic lesions.
  • Results for larger pancreatic lesions (>30 mm) are less convincing due to heterogeneity.
  • The role of shear wave elastography requires further determination.

Conclusions:

  • Ultrasound elastography is a valuable tool for pancreatic tissue stiffness assessment.
  • Strain elastography is established for small pancreatic lesions, but challenges remain for larger ones.
  • Further research is needed to define the role of shear wave elastography in pancreatic imaging.
