Eye injury due to alkali burn is a severe ocular trauma that can profoundly affect corneal
structure and function, including its biomechanical properties. Here, we assess the changes …

Shear-wave elastography (SWE) is an imaging method that can be used to estimate shear
wave speed and the Young's modulus based on the measured shear wave speed under …

Objective. The modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) remains the preferred method for skin
assessment in systemic sclerosis (SSc). There are concerns regarding high interobserver …

Ultrasound elastography is a recently developed method for accurate measurement of soft
tissue stiffness in addition to the clinician's subjective evaluation. The present review briefly …

Introduction Hamstring strain injuries (HSI) and re-injuries are endemic in high-speed
running sports. The biceps femoris long head (BFlh) is the most frequently injured muscle …

Patients with scars face a grave threat to their mental and physical health. Negative pressure
has been used for scar therapy in medical care and provides a microenvironment conducive …

Wounds are responsible for the decrease in quality of life of billions of people around the
world. Their assessment relies on subjective parameters which often delays optimal …

Introduction: Sports requiring sprinting, jumping, and kicking tasks frequently lead to
hamstring strain injuries (HSI). One of the structural risk factors of HSI is the increased …

Purpose Hypertrophic scars that occur after burns are less flexible and less elastic than
normal skin. Objective measurement tools are required to assess hypertrophic scars after …

Background: Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) noninvasively measures the
stiffness of tissue by producing and measuring tissue deformation. Scar formation, a crucial …
