This study aimed to explore the effects of age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and smoking on the diameter of the portal vein (PV). This quantitative descriptive study included 113 participants (61.9% males and 38.1% females) who underwent sonography. The participants were selected via convenience sampling. Patients with known cardiac, liver, or biliary diseases were excluded. The PV of each participant was evaluated and measured using a 3.5 MHz transducer and a standard liver sonography imaging protocol. Statistical analyses were performed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, independent t-test, and Pearson correlations. Statistical significance was set at P < .05. The mean age of the participants was 38 ± 16 years (range = 15–86 years). The mean PV diameter and BMI were 9.6 ± 2 mm (range = 4.9–16 mm) and 26.22 ± 8.5 (range = 15.2–39.7), respectively. The mean PV diameter of the participants who did and did not smoke was 10.5 ± 2.3 mm and 9.25 ± 1.8 mm, respectively. The PV diameter showed statistically significant associations with smoking status, age, and BMI ( P = .01, .007, and .022, respectively). The findings of this study suggest that the PV diameter may increase with smoking, age, and BMI; however, no correlation was observed between the PV diameter and sex.

As the world tackled the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly all research institutions underwent significant change, shifting from an in-person to an online landscape, resulting in several benefits and drawbacks to their research laboratories. The pandemic shut down most research efforts, and methods such as online Zoom meetings were required to keep most elements of the research and training going. In the post-COVID period, anxieties about health and safety resulted in difficulty in recruiting participants for clinical studies, and the emphasis on following health standards and guidelines (e.g., social distancing, personal protective equipment) required flexibility in research training processes. This symposium incorporates satisfaction rates and anecdotal evidence from individuals experiencing in-person and virtual research training throughout the pandemic to examine the changes and effects COVID-19 had on laboratory research. Nine traits of a high-quality research training environment (RTE), proposed in a study by Gelso et al, provide context for the subjective claims made and assist in categorizing certain traits. Both modes of research training carry benefits and drawbacks. The increase in collaboration and communication in an online space promoted several of the nine traits of an RTE. However, qualitative feedback from students suggests that the lack of training incorporating the direct operation of equipment, holding a transducer, and direct interaction was detrimental to new laboratory members and their research training. Flexibility and a combination of in-person and online training are likely necessary for an effective research environment in a post-COVID world.

A hemoventricle is a rare and life-threatening condition, characterized by blood accumulating in the brain ventricles. Computed tomography (CT) is commonly used in the diagnosis of hemoventricle. However, the use of CT is limited in the intensive care unit. This has prompted the exploration of alternative imaging techniques. Sonography offers a noninvasive, portable, and cost-effective option for assessing the ventricular system. A case study is presented of a 64-year-old female patient with a ruptured aneurysm who underwent endovascular coiling and the placement of an external ventricular drain. Point-of-care ultrasonography revealed ventricular dilatation that was associated with hyperechoic content and that was consistent with hemoventricle. The CT examination confirmed the diagnosis, and the patient received appropriate treatment. This case highlights the value of sonography as a complementary diagnostic imaging tool in situations where CT may be limited.
