Air and its Sonographic Appearance: Understanding the Artifacts.

J Emerg Med

August 2017

Department of Emergency Medicine, Division of Emergency Ultrasound, Mount Sinai St. Luke's Hospital, Mount Sinai West Hospital, New York, New York.

Background: Although air has traditionally been considered a barrier to sonographic imaging, when encountered in unusual settings it can serve as an important indicator of various pathologic states as well. Clinician recognition and thorough understanding of the characteristic pattern of artifacts generated by air are critical for making a number of important diagnoses.

Case Series: We present five emergency department cases in which air was visualized in a pathologic location.

Myb-transformed haematopoietic cell (MTHC) lines have been developed and clones selected based on their ability to respond to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. MTHC-A cells underwent apoptosis in response to TNF-α (MTHC-A). The apoptotic effect of TNF-α in MTHC-A was mimicked by a specific inhibitor of protein kinase A (PKI 5-24) and by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein, suggesting that phosphorylation of tyrosine and PKA activity were important in protecting MTHC from apoptosis.

Spatial variability in acoustic backscatter is investigated as a potential feedback metric for assessment of lesion morphology during cavitation-mediated mechanical tissue disruption ("histotripsy"). A 750-kHz annular array was aligned confocally with a 4.5 MHz passive backscatter receiver during ex vivo insonation of porcine myocardium.
