Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Ultrasound versus palpation guidance for intra-articular injections in patients with degenerative osteoarthritis of the elbow.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy rate of ultrasound (US) -guided intra-articular (IA) injections in patients by posterior approach with osteoarthritis (OA) of the elbow. ⋯ US-guided IA elbow injections by posterior approach may raise the accuracy rate in elbow joint injections.

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare disorder characterized by multiple recurrent vascular malformations. Herein we report the case of a patient with BRBNS and placenta previa. ⋯ This preoperative information helped us perform the uterine wall incision safely during the cesarean delivery. The presence and location of hemangiomas adjacent to the uterus should be carefully examined in a pregnant woman with BRBNS prior to elective or emergency cesarean delivery.
