      <description><![CDATA[<p>Can ultrasound detect cancer - Medsinglong</p>
<p>Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of organs and tissues within the body and has been used in many different conditions, including abdominal diseases, suspected lumps and other diseases in the body.</p>
<p>The technician puts a soundbar in the relevant area. Sound waves send images to the monitor and take multiple snapshots. The radiologist then reads the image and can get a good first impression of abnormality. This article explains the role of ultrasound in the detection of cancer and how the test works.</p>
<p><br />Can ultrasound detect cancer?</p>
<p>Ultrasound is often one of the "first line" tests in cancer detection. It can detect abnormal tissue, growth and cysts, and suspect cancer based on the appearance of these images. Although it cannot diagnose cancer, it can detect abnormal tissues that may become cancerous.</p>
<p>Ultrasound can detect several different types of cancer, including:</p>
<p>1. Breast cancer</p>
<p>Can ultrasound detect cancer in the breast? It can further evaluate the results of mammograms on cancer. If cysts or lumps are found on mammograms, ultrasound is the next step and can detect possible cancerous changes. Ultrasound of the breast can further evaluate cysts or lumps on the breast to see changes in the tissue. Ultrasound is very useful in detecting breast cancer and diagnosis, because doctors can perform "fine-needle-guided biopsy" to aspirate some tissues. Then send it to the lab to find the actual cancer cells.</p>
<p>2. Ovarian cancer</p>
<p>Ovarian cysts are actually quite common in women. However, this may be a problem when cysts persist and continue to grow. Ultrasound can be used to monitor changes in ovarian cysts that may become ovarian cancer. If there is complaints of pelvic pain, unusual abdominal distension, irregular periods, and pregnancy symptoms without pregnancy. Ovarian cancer usually has no symptoms and can spread rapidly if it is not detected early. Ultrasound can be used to detect abnormal cysts and whether they are hard or full of fluid.</p>
<p>3. Pancreatic cancer</p>
<p>Pancreatic cancer is one of the fastest growing cancers, with only 8% survival after five years. Early detection is critical for this type of cancer. In the case of pancreatitis and severe epigastric pain, ultrasound can detect the presence of pancreatic cysts or pseudocysts. Pseudocysts are usually the result of pancreatitis and benign, and cysts need to investigate pancreatic cancer. Ultrasound is a commonly used first-line test for evaluating pancreatic abnormalities.</p>
<p>4. Liver cancer</p>
<p>Although the chance of primary liver cancer is small, liver cancer is usually a cancer that has spread to the liver in other parts of the body. Ultrasound can examine liver cysts and help distinguish between cysts and fatty liver disease or cirrhosis. Ultrasound in the liver can also help guide needles in liver biopsy, which can further confirm liver disease or cancer.</p>
<p>5. Bladder cancer</p>
<p>Ultrasound pelvic ultrasound can usually detect bladder cancer, even if it is due to other reasons for bladder cancer examination, because the bladder needs to be filled in order to clearly display all the organs and structures of the pelvis, which can clearly show the bladder. Cysts and tumors in the bladder can often be clearly seen.</p>
<p>6. Thyroid cancer</p>
<p>Thyroid nodules occur when thyroid cells begin to grow too quickly. They can be benign or cancerous. Autoimmune diseases can cause thyroid nodules to never become cancer. If this happens, doctors often choose to pay close attention to their changes and in some &nbsp;cases may become thyroid cancer. Ultrasound is used to check the nodules to see if they are hard nodules or fluid-filled nodules. <br />Ultrasound can also detect cancerous changes by looking at the blood flow through them. Doctors also use ultrasound-guided needles for fine needle aspiration or FNA to examine cancer cells under the microscope.</p>
<p>7. Kidney cancer</p>
<p>Cysts can develop in the kidney and do not always mean kidney cancer. Ultrasound can help distinguish between kidney stones, cysts, and other changes in the kidneys. Can ultrasound detect cancer in the kidney? The answer is that ultrasound is helpful. It is abnormal to see changes in the kidneys. If a problem is found, the doctor can refer you to other tests that can diagnose kidney cancer or other diseases.<br /><br /></p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[How to deal with your medical waste?]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/How-to-deal-with-your-medical-waste/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>How to deal with your medical waste?<br />On January 1, China honored its pledge to close several imported wastes. By the next day, panic has already taken place in countries in Europe and North America, because garbage is starting to pile up and no one knows that they can all be disposed of now.</p>
<p>Medical waste disposal is one of the biggest daily challenges faced by healthcare providers. HIPAA, epidemiology, potential civil lawsuits, and other issues such as state and local supervision often complicate the situation. Because in MedPro waste disposal we aim to help suppliers become better suppliers, we are considering key concepts related to medical waste.</p>
<p>The global medical waste management market is driven by a number of factors, such as the regulatory agency's efforts to improve medical waste management services, the increasing population aging, the increase in the number of meetings and seminars, and the generation of large amounts of medical waste.</p>
<p>Medical waste management service outsourcing and technological advancement have brought a series of opportunities for market growth. However, the demand for high capital investment is expected to inhibit market growth.</p>
<p>According to the type of waste, the market is divided into harmless and hazardous waste. Due to increased investment by public and private organizations, the hazardous waste segment is expected to grow at the highest compound annual growth rate from 2015 to 2020.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The medical waste management market is divided into incineration, autoclaving, chemical treatment and other treatments according to the type of treatment. The incineration sector is expected to account for the largest market share in 2015. This increase was attributed to the government&rsquo;s increasing management of medical waste and technological progress.</p>
<p>Geographically, the market is dominated by North America, followed by Europe, Asia and the rest of the world (RoW). The growth in the North American market is mainly due to the increasing population aging and the generation of large amounts of medical waste.</p>
<p>To deal with your medical waste, we provide all kinds of medical waste incinerator for you. Pls feel free to contact us of you have interest!</p>

      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Will-ultrasound-show-gallstones/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Will ultrasound show gallstones<br />Ultrasound in the gallbladder uses high frequency sound waves to produce live images from the patient. This is a painless test and is very common today in the medical field. Ultrasound is sometimes referred to as an ultrasound chart, diagnostic ultrasound, or ultrasound. A medical professional who performs ultrasound is called a sonographer.</p>
<p>Because ultrasound uses sound waves instead of radiation, it is considered a safety scan. Therefore, this is the preferred method of use during pregnancy.</p>
<p>Ultrasonic diagnosis of internal organs, blood vessels and soft tissue structures. Although usually associated with use during pregnancy, ultrasound is used to examine many other parts of the body including the gallbladder, liver, kidneys, pancreas, bladder and many other internal structures.</p>
<p><img alt="will ultrasound show gallstones" src="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/upload/img/20180404/201804041359333510.png" title="will ultrasound show gallstones" width="500" data-cke-saved-src="/upload/img/20180404/201804041359333510.png" /></p>
<p>Gallbladder ultrasound is best performed after fasting because eating causes the gallbladder to contract, making viewing gallstones more difficult.</p>
<p>Gallbladder ultrasound causes:</p>
<p>Ultrasound is used for many reasons. If the patient is experiencing pain, swelling, or other abnormalities that require an internal view of the organ, the doctor can order ultrasound.</p>
<p>Gallbladder ultrasound can be used to guide doctors or surgeons during surgery, such as biopsy. They are important in planning certain types of treatment and surgery and in determining the consequences of the patient's response to treatment.</p>
<p>Ultrasound can be used to detect cysts, obstructions and infections in the body. They can also measure arterial blood flow to detect blockages.</p>
<p>Ultrasound can be used to examine certain cancers in a variety of ways, including detecting abnormal tumors, growth, or lumps.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Why ultrasound is useful in medical field]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Why-ultrasound-is-useful-in-medical-field/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Why ultrasound is useful in medical field</p>
<p>Due to the high energy and frequency (over 20,000 Hz), according to the wave equation v = ft, the wavelength of the ultrasound is very small, so the ultrasound is very useful for diagnosing different organs of the human body.</p>
<p>In the past century, tremendous advances in the medical field of existing technologies and new technologies have relied on electronic technologies. After the discovery of X-ray imaging in the late 19th century, great progress was made in ultrasonic diagnostic and therapeutic equipment. The development of medical imaging for viewing and checking inside the patient's body makes it clearer and safer. This in turn leads to faster and more accurate diagnosis and follow-up treatment of disease and traumatic injuries.</p>
<p>Diagnosis</p>
<p>After the Second World War began to study the application of ultrasound in medical diagnosis. Ultrasound or ultrasound scans use high-frequency sound waves to produce images on the screen, internal organs, blood vessels, and tissues. It can be said to be the best of all ultrasound medical applications, especially for prenatal ultrasound scans or ultrasound diagnostics.</p>
<p>It is faster and easier (and cheaper) to use than CT (computed tomography) scans and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), so ultrasound scans are often used to monitor and diagnose the condition of organs (such as the liver, kidneys, or gall bladder). Echocardiography or ultrasound scans of the heart can also be used to diagnose and track cardiac conditions.</p>
<p><img alt="medical ultrasound" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/ultrasound/fetus_-_three_months_.png" title="medical ultrasound" width="500" /></p>
<p>Surgery</p>
<p>Ultrasound technology is increasingly used in surgery. USI (Ultrasonic Surgical Instruments) uses transducers to convert ultrasonic signals into mechanical vibrations; waveguides then amplify and propagate vibrations. USIs are very useful in a variety of medical procedures that can cut bones and other tissues while reducing bleeding through coagulation. This will generally reduce the average length of the surgery and damage to the tissue, resulting in less overall complications.</p>
<p>Non-invasive treatment applications</p>
<p>Scientific progress means that ultrasonic energy can be used as a non-invasive or minimally-invasive HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) or HITU (High Intensity-Treatment Ultrasound). These methods can be used to eliminate body tissues in the treatment of cancer and other diseases by applying ultrasonic energy to heat and destroy diseased tissues.</p>
<p>This technique greatly contributes to other treatments, especially ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy). An ultrasound (or other) imaging system positions and targets the kidneys, gallbladder or liver stones. These stones are broken by ultrasonic pulses and naturally emptyed by urination. Introduced in the early 1980s, it quickly replaced surgery as the most widely treated stone.</p>
<p>Other current treatments using HIFU/HITU include:</p>
<p>Bone healing and physical therapy for inflammation caused by rheumatism, tendinitis or joint damage.<br />Drug distribution to treat tumors, especially in the brain, may be difficult to achieve.<br />Cosmetic applications such as non-invasive liposuction and multiple treatments to improve skin tone, scars and sun damage.<br />Bright smile</p>
<p>Other public health application of ultrasound is the removal of dental plaque in dental care as a scale remover before tartar hardens into tartar. The tip of the ultrasonic descaler can be vibrated at high frequencies to decompose the bacterial material to which plaque and tartar adhere. This technology can achieve a smoother, more painless experience.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Why you need to have a full bladder for an ultrasound]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Why-you-need-to-have-a-full-bladder-for-an-ultrasound/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Why you need to have a full bladder for an ultrasound?<br />Diagnostic imaging allows the physician to observe the internal structure without having to operate on the body. Advances in imaging are important for helping accurate diagnosis and treatment options, which is beneficial to doctors and their patients. At the same time, as a patient who needs ultrasound, you may feel uneasy because of some guidelines. Here, we would like to discuss why your doctor may recommend that you reach the ultrasound full bladder.</p>
<p><img alt="ultrasound" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/sonoscape/Sonoscape-S6-2.jpg" title="ultrasound" width="500" /></p>
<p>How Ultrasound Works</p>
<p>Ultrasound imaging produces images of internal organs and structures by emitting acoustic waves in tissue. The abdomen is a common area for ultrasound. As sound waves move in the body, they "jeopardize" different media such as fluids and air in different ways. A complete bladder creates a fluid reservoir that enhances the movement of sound waves through the abdominal cavity. This gives you a clearer understanding of the structure you need to observe.</p>
<p>Full bladder condition</p>
<p>In fact, not all ultrasound needs full bladder.<br />Kidney ultrasound or KUB ultrasound. This diagnostic test was performed to observe the kidneys and bladder. This ultrasound will also look at the seminal vesicle and prostate in men, as well as the female ureters. The purpose of this test is to identify urinary tract abnormalities such as kidney stones, cysts or tumors. Since the bladder volume is measured by ultrasound of the kidney, a large amount of water needs to be taken before imaging.<br />Early pregnancy ultrasound. When the bladder is full, pelvic organs are more likely to form details. Before the 24th week of pregnancy, amniotic fluid is insufficient to achieve the desired clarity.<br />In some cases, a complete bladder highlights the visibility during ultrasound imaging. In other cases, it may distort the images we need to obtain. When your doctor recommends ultrasound, you may need to discuss the complete bladder.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Why and when do Obstetric Ultrasound]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Why-and-when-do-Obstetric-Ultrasound/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div>Introduction to Obstetric Ultrasound</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Obstetric Ultrasound is the ultrasound scans used in pregnancy. Since its introduction in the late 1950&rsquo;s, ultrasonography has become a very useful diagnostic tool in Obstetrics.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Currently used equipments are known as real-time scanners. It can capture a continous picture of the moving fetus and be depicted on a monitor screen. Very high frequency sound waves of between 3.5 to 7.0 megahertz (i.e. 3.5 to 7 million cycles per second) are generally used for this purpose.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>They are emitted from a transducer which is placed in contact with the maternal abdomen, and is moved to "look at" (likened to a light shined from a torch) any particular content of the uterus. Repetitive arrays of ultrasound beams scan the fetus in thin slices and are reflected back onto the same transducer.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The information obtained from different reflections are recomposed back into a picture on the monitor screen (a sonogram, or ultrasonogram). Movements such as fetal heart beat and malformations in the feus can be assessed and measurements can be made accurately on the images displayed on the screen. Such measurements form the cornerstone are in the assessment of gestational age, size and growth in the fetus.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>A full bladder is often required for the procedure when abdominal scanning is done in early pregnency. There may be some discomfort from pressure on the full bladder. The conducting gel is non-staining but may feel slightly cold and wet. There is no sensation at all from the ultrasound waves.</div>
<div><img title="obstetric ultrasound" alt="obstetric ultrasound" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/ultrasound/Obstetric-Ultrasound.jpg" width="500" /></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Why and when do&nbsp;Obstetric Ultrasound?</strong></div>
<div>Ultrasound scanning is currently considered as a safe, non-invasive, accurate and cost-effective study of the fetus. It has gradually become an indispensable obstetric tool and plays an important role in the care of every pregnant woman.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The main uses of ultrasound are the following aspects:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>1. Early pregnancy diagnosis and confirmation.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Pregnancy sac can be four and a half weeks of pregnancy and about five weeks of pregnancy can be seen at the yolk sac. Embryos can be observed and measured for about five and a half weeks. Ultrasound can also be very important to confirm the pregnancy site in the uterine cavity.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>2. Early pregnancy vaginal bleeding.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy can be recorded when the survival rate of the fetus. Visible beats can be seen and detected by pulsed Doppler ultrasound for approximately 6 weeks, and can usually be clearly depicted within 7 weeks. If you find this situation, the probability of continuing to be pregnant is better than 95%. Missing aborted and damaged eggs usually give typical pictures of a deformed gestational sac with no fetal bars or heart beats.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Fetal heart rate in early pregnancy changes with gestational age. The normal heart rate at 6 weeks is about 90-110 beats / min (bpm) and 140-170 beats / min at 9 weeks. At 5-8 weeks, bradycardia (less than 90 beats / min) is associated with a high risk of miscarriage.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Many women do not ovulate on day 14, so the results of one scan should be interpreted cautiously. Misdiagnosis of miscarriage is usually diagnosed by continuous ultrasound scan to prove the lack of pregnancy. For example, if an ultrasound scan shows a 7mm embryo but does not show a clear heartbeat, missed miscarriage can be diagnosed. In this case it is reasonable to repeat the ultrasound scan within 7-10 days to avoid any errors.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>In this regard, the timing of pregnancy-positive tests may also help to assess the possible date of conception. For example, a positive pregnancy test conducted 3 weeks ago showed a gestational age of at least 7 weeks. This information is useful for the interpretation of the scan. Please read the FAQ for more comments.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Ultrasonography is also essential for the early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy and molar pregnancy in cases of early pregnancy bleeding.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>3. Determination of gestational age and fetal size assessment.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Fetal body measurements reflect the gestational age of the fetus. This is especially true in early pregnancy. In patients with late-stage menstrual periods uncertainty, such measurements must be made during pregnancy as early as possible in order to determine the correct age for the patient. See Frequently Asked Questions In the second trimester of pregnancy, measuring body parameters will allow the assessment of fetal size and growth and will greatly assist in the diagnosis and management of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR).</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The following measurements are usually made:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>a) Rump length (CRL)</div>
<div>This measurement can be performed between 7 and 13 weeks, and gestational age can be very accurately estimated. The dating CRL can be within 3-4 days of the last menstrual period. (Table) It is important to note that when the due date is set by a precisely measured CRL, it should not be changed by subsequent scans. For example, if another scan after 6 or 8 weeks indicates that there should be a new, more distant deadline, the date should not normally be changed, but should be interpreted as explaining that infants did not grow as expected.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>b) biparietal diameter (BPD)</div>
<div>The diameter between the two sides of the head. This is measured after 13 weeks. It increased from about 2.4 centimeters in 13 weeks to about 9.5 centimeters. Different infants of the same weight may have different head sizes, so dating late in pregnancy is often considered unreliable. (Charts and further comments) Appointments using BPD should be completed as soon as possible.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>c) femur length (FL)</div>
<div>Measure the longest bones in the body and reflect the fetal longitudinal growth. Its usefulness is similar to BPD. It increased from about 1.5 centimeters in 14 weeks to about 7.8 centimeters. (Charts and Further Comments) Similar to BPD, dating using FL should be completed as soon as possible.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>d) Abdominal circumference (AC)</div>
<div>The most important measurement in late pregnancy. It reflects more fetal size and weight, not age. Serial measurements can be used to monitor fetal growth. (Chart and further comment) AC measurements should not be used to date the fetus.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Here are other important measurements.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The use of polynomial equations that include BPD, FL, and AC can also very accurately estimate fetal body weight in any gestation. Computer software and search charts are readily available. For example, a 9.0 cm BPD and 30.0 cm AC will give a weight estimate of 2.85 kg. (Note)</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>4. Diagnosis of fetal malformations.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Many of the fetal structural abnormalities can be reliably diagnosed by ultrasound scanning, and these anomalies can usually be completed by 20 weeks. Common examples include hydrocephalus, anencephaly, myelodysplasia, achondroplasia and other dwarfism, spina bifida, exomphalos, Gastroschisis, duodenal atresia, and fetal hydrocephalus. With newer devices, conditions such as cleft lip / cleft palate and congenital heart abnormalities are easier to diagnose and at earlier gestational ages. (See also the FAQ and exception pages).</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Early pregnancy ultrasound for the "abnormal" chromosomal markers, such as the lack of fetal nasal bone, increased fetal neck translucency (posterior neck region), is currently used to detect Down Syndrome fetus.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Ultrasound can also aid in other diagnostic procedures for prenatal diagnosis such as amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, umbilical cord aspiration (percutaneous cord blood sampling), and fetal therapy.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>5. Placental localization.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Ultrasonography has become an indispensable factor in the positioning of the placenta and the determination of its lower edge so that the placenta previa can be diagnosed or eliminated. Other placental abnormalities such as diabetes, hydrocephalus, Rh alloimmunization, and severe fetal intrauterine growth retardation can also be assessed.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>6. Multiple pregnancies.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>In such cases, ultrasonography is invaluable in determining the number of fetuses, chorionic traits, evidence of fetal presentation, growth retardation and fetal abnormalities, the presence of placenta previa, and any suggestion of twin transfusions.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>7. Hydramnios and oligohydramnios.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The amount of fluid (amniotic fluid) that is either too much or too little can be clearly delineated by ultrasound. Both of these conditions can have adverse effects on the fetus. In both cases, ultrasonography should be carefully examined to rule out fetal intrauterine growth retardation and congenital anomalies such as intestinal atresia, fetal edema or abnormal renal development. See also common questions and comments.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>8. Other regions.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Ultrasonography is of great value to other obstetric diseases, such as:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>a) Confirm intrauterine death.</div>
<div>b) Confirm fetal presentation in case of uncertainty.</div>
<div>c) Evaluate fetal movement, tone and respiration in biophysical profiles.</div>
<div>d) Diagnosis of uterine and pelvic abnormalities during pregnancy, such as fibroids and ovarian cysts.</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div>How Accurate Are Ultrasounds - Medsinglong</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/product/show_product.php?id=2128" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/product/show_product.php?id=2128">Ultrasound</a></strong></span>&nbsp;is the main part of modern obstetrics practices and if you are pregnant, you may have some of them. Personally, I found it very reassuring to check my baby at a critical point in my journey. My first ultrasound just verified my deadline, and I did not have a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. The second three-month three-dimensional sonogram examined for fetal abnormalities and at the end of my pregnancy, ultrasound confirmed that infants were still growing. Given the many important uses of this technology during pregnancy, it is conceivable how accurate the ultrasound is?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Dr. Michael Rothman, a neuroradiologist practicing in Maryland, explained to Harper that ultrasound works much like sonar and that its energy is applied to the body through a microphone - called a transducer - to produce an acoustic echo. "High-speed computers can rebuild the target's internal structure based on the speed and intensity of noise returned," he explains. In essence, the sound portrays the picture of the baby, just with the help of digital techniques and real-time measurements.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;<img title="How Accurate Are Ultrasounds" alt="How Accurate Are Ultrasounds" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/ultrasound-2.jpg" width="500" /></div>
<div>Unfortunately, ultrasound technology, like most technologies, is not perfect, especially if it involves the second and third gestational appointments and measurements. For appointments, the accuracy of the ultrasound depends on pregnancy, Calamangrani, CNM, a nurse-midwife practicing in New York City, and The Fertile Times blog. She told Harper that the first three months of ultrasound can be pregnant in three to five days. Second, the accuracy dropped to "about a week." When your third March arrives, ultrasound can not be expected to give you an accurate or useful expiration date. They can take two or three weeks off and, as any pregnant woman knows, three weeks are long.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>One way ultrasound is very accurate is to determine the presence of a heart beat. Of course, you can rest assured if you see the heartbeat flashes. "Although these scans are accurate, this does not guarantee the viability of future pregnancies," said Manglani. According to the American Gestation Association, early gestational age ultrasound can also determine if you have ectopic pregnancy or molar pregnancy, and if you have more than one infant.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>About 20 weeks later, ultrasound can be used to detect fetal abnormalities. "The accuracy of these ultrasound depends on the skills of technicians and radiologists, the habits of the mother and the location of the baby," explains Manglani. "Occasionally, your baby may be in a position where it is difficult to identify certain anatomical landmarks, in which case technology may try to move the baby or arrange for you to repeat the ultrasound." You can also find your baby in Week 20 (or weeks ago) Sex. Importantly, as reported by the American Gestation Association, your baby's sexuality will not be 100% determined until his or her birthday, especially if you like to play hide-and-seek while scanning.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>If you have any questions - you have passed your deadline, infants do not have much action or are not feeling right - ultrasound can tell you what's going on and even alert your doctor to potential emergencies. "[Fetal Health Assessment] Ultrasonography exams fetal movements, infant growth, placental location, and amniotic fluid volume."&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>During amniocentesis, ultrasound can also be used as a doctor's guide and can tell you very accurately that your baby will not be able to see the baby in the last weeks Will there be hip pain?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The bottom line is that ultrasound is accurate, especially in the early stages. As pregnancy progresses, identifying deadlines and accurate fetal weights and measurements becomes even more challenging as the range of error of the ultrasound increases weekly as measurements are taken. In other words, ultrasound is still of great help to them, especially in the detection of fetal abnormalities and monitoring of the baby's later pregnancy.</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div>Using implants powered by ultrasound to&nbsp;diagnose and treat diseases</div>
<p>Using safe sonic energy and instructions, a team of researchers unveiled a series of tiny devices to diagnose and treat diseases.</p>
<div><strong>How it works</strong></div>
<div>Arbabian and his team, including graduate students Marcus Weber, Jayant Charthad and Ting Chia Chang, have been studying this approach for years, assembling electronic components into a modular design to create something new: a platform for implantable devices Rice is designed to allow engineers to exchange the necessary modules according to the functions they need. Weber said: "Think of our implant platform as a car chassis that we can customize for different applications.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><img alt=" implants powered by ultrasound" src="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/upload/img/20180209/201802091410357718.jpg" data-cke-saved-src="/upload/img/20180209/201802091410357718.jpg" /></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Each implant contains a power receiving module that converts the energy of the ultrasound into usable electricity. This is based on the well-known principle of piezoelectric - the subtle pressure exerted by a sound wave that can compress some of the crystals to produce an electron flow. So far, according to the tests, their implants can be driven beyond the skin by 12 cm, or slightly below 5 inches - enough to target the body of any vital organ. Researchers believe they can implant deeper devices in the future.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>To store energy between ultrasonic charges, engineers equipped the implant with capacitors instead of bulky batteries. Nanocapacitors store enough charge to run onboard processors that control each implant and power the ultrasound transmitter of the implant.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The system uses an infinite amount of energy. For example, nanocapacitors store one billionth of an AAA battery energy, and will be periodically recharged through external skin patches.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Low power requirements come from clever engineering. The team is designing a skin patch that serves as a central power source for the control center and the closed-loop system. The skin patch is based on advice from Butrus "Pierre" Khuri-Yakub, a professor of electrical engineering studies, to visualize it as a cellphone tower in a cellphone network, signaling and coordinating the activities of two or more implants in different parts of the body.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>One example scenario: One implant senses the state of the organ and guides the other implant through a dermal patch for treatment; for example, electrical stimulation of nerves. Researchers have designed implants that have communication, stimulation, drug delivery and sensing capabilities. They recently demonstrated their&nbsp;<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/product/show_product.php?id=2128" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/product/show_product.php?id=2128">ultrasound</a></strong></span>&nbsp;communication solutions and implantable pressure sensors at IEEE ISSCC and VLSI 2017 conferences.</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div>3D doppler ultrasound can do better than 2D version in checking fetal growth restriction</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>A new study published in the January issue of the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine showed that&nbsp;<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/product/show_product.php?id=2127" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/product/show_product.php?id=2127"><span>three-dimensional Doppler ultrasound</span></a></span>&nbsp;can be more accurate than standard two-dimensional Doppler ultrasound to identify abnormal fetal cerebrovascular blood flow patterns of fetal growth Limit (FGR).</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>According to Katherine R. Goetzinger, MD, MSCI, MD, from the University of Maryland Medical School, lead author of the study, this finding may help to more accurately determine the difference between fetal FGR and fetal "constitutional exuberance" in pregnant women.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Goetzinger said: "The clinical criteria currently used to assess fetal brain circulation are two-dimensional pulsed Doppler assessment of the middle cerebral artery." This technique has both technical and practical issues, including the inability to accurately detect subtle changes in small blood vessel flow , And the assumption that blood flow redistributes to all areas of the brain is symmetrical.</div>
<div>&nbsp;<img title="3D ultrasound" alt="3D ultrasound" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/ultrasound/abdominal_aorta_.png" width="450" /></div>
<div>According to this study, FGR affects 4% to 8% of pregnancies, resulting in fetal assessment of fetal morbidity and mortality by ultrasonography of fetuses weighing less than 10%. Goetzinger said: "With the advent of 3D energy Doppler technology, blood flow to fetal organs, including the kidneys, liver and placenta, can be quantified by assessing angiogenesis and blood flow index.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>This prospective cohort study recruited women from 24-36 weeks of gestation to clinically determine FGR and matched with controls from the appropriate gestational age (AGA) fetus from Washington University during 2011-2013. A total of 306 female patients were enrolled in the study, and standardized 3D Doppler ultrasound was performed on the fetal middle cerebral artery region by a qualified obstetric sonographer. The researchers calculated vascularization index (VI), blood flow index (FI), and angiogenesis index (VFI) using virtual organ computer-assisted analysis based on the study method. In addition, a randomized study of 20 patients in the cohort was followed up to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the measurements.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Of the 306 patients, 151 were indicated as FGR. According to the study, FI was significantly higher in FGR fetuses as compared with AGA controls, and FI was significantly negatively correlated with pulsatile brain-placental ratio. FGR fetuses are also significantly younger, have lower BMI, and have a lower body weight at birth than AGA.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Goetzinger concludes: "The novel use of this technology in FGR assessment may help identify the fetus with a preserved brain pathophysiology early in gestation, which may affect fetal monitoring strategies and the timing of childbirth.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><a title="3D ultrasound" href="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/ultrasound/fetus_-_three_months_.png" target="_blank"><img title="3D ultrasound" alt="3D doppler ultrasound" src="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/upload/img/20180208/201802081109215811.png" width="450" data-cke-saved-src="/upload/img/20180208/201802081109215811.png" /></a></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The advantages of 3D energy Doppler ultrasound in two-dimensional pulsed Doppler ultrasound are significant because the study can assess the entire perfusion area rather than a single blood vessel, Goetzinger explains. The intricacies of its low-velocity blood flow and the need for a particular degree of independence are also strengths of research.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>However, Goetzinger and colleagues cite a number of research limitations that include the lack of continuous ultrasound data, inability to analyze rare neonatal outcomes, and short and long term neurodevelopmental dysfunction, as well as a small proportion of the study population.</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div>Ultrasound and MRI in the diagnosis of RA patients with synovitis</div>
<div>Early identification and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) lead to reduced inflammation and reduced joint damage, resulting in better long-term results. According to the current guidelines for therapeutic targets, there is a reliable and repeatable diagnostic tool to find and monitor the treatment of RA is helpful.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Japanese researchers point out that recent advances have led to the rise of ultrasound and MRI patterns, making them the tool of choice for diagnosing and monitoring disease activity in RA patients. They point out that "The presence of inflammation observed with US or MRI can be used to predict progression from undifferentiated inflammatory arthritis to clinical RA.</div>
<div>&nbsp;<img title="Ultrasound and MRI in the diagnosis of RA patients with synovitis" alt="RA patients with synovitis, Ultrasound, MRI" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/RA_patients_with_synovitis.png" height="358" width="500" /></div>
<div>The group tried to compare the accuracy of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/htm/color-ultrasound-machine/laptop-Color-Doppler-Ultrasound-Machine-MSLCU26.html" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/htm/color-ultrasound-machine/laptop-Color-Doppler-Ultrasound-Machine-MSLCU26.html">ultrasound</a>&nbsp;and MRI in the diagnosis of RA &nbsp;patients with synovitis. They systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed the available literature. The main result is the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound on synovitis with MRI as the standard.</div>
<div>Finally, 14 studies were included in the final analysis. The wrist, metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) were evaluated separately.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The diagnostic radiosonde odds ratio (DOR) produced by the wrist cohort was 11.6 and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.81, indicating that synovitis has good diagnostic test accuracy.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Sensitivity and specificity of wrist ultrasound were 0.73 and 0.78, respectively.</div>
<div>The MCP cohort produced an ultrasound DOR of 28 and an AUC of 0.91, which provided good diagnostic test accuracy for synovitis.</div>
<div>The sensitivity and specificity of MCP combined with ultrasound were 0.64 and 0.93, respectively.</div>
<div>The PIP cohort produced an ultrasound DOR of 23 and an AUC of 0.91 indicating a good diagnostic test for synovitis.</div>
<div>The sensitivity and specificity of PIP combined ultrasound were 0.71 and 0.94, respectively.</div>
<div>The knee joint group produced an ultrasound DOR of 5.3 and an AUC of 0.61, indicating a poor diagnostic test for synovitis.</div>
<div>The sensitivity and specificity of knee ultrasound did not reflect diagnostic value in the trial.</div>
<div>Inspiration</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Ultrasound is a cheap, repeatable and accurate diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of synovitis in RA patients, especially when examining MCP and PIP joints. Ultrasound may not be the preferred method of diagnosis of synovitis in the knee. In outpatients, ultrasound is a good choice for the diagnosis of synovitis in RA patients. Power Doppler ultrasound shows better diagnostic test accuracy than grayscale ultrasound.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Ultrasound in the detection of synovitis is accurate, especially in the metacarpophalangeal joint and proximal interphalangeal joint.</div>
<div>Although more sensitive than clinical exams, ultrasound is less sensitive than MRI for deeper joints such as the wrist and knee.</div>
<div>There is a lack of consensus about the standard ultrasound scoring system for synovitis. Compared with MRI, ultrasound is cheaper, carry less, contraindications less.</div>

      <title><![CDATA[Ultrasonic examination & computed tomography examination of endoleak after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair]]></title>

      <description><![CDATA[<div>Ultrasonic examination &amp; computed tomography examination of endoleak after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair</div>
<div>Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a local swelling or enlargement of blood vessels that carry blood to the abdomen (stomach), pelvis and leg. AAA patients risk of sudden death due to AAA rupture (burst). Once detected, it is advisable to intervene (treat) once the AAA diameter is greater than about 5 cm. Most repairs are now performed using new vascular linings within an aneurysm guided by X-ray control (Endovascular Aneurysm Repair or EVAR).</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Once the new lining is in place, the seals on both ends may leak, or the blood vessel branches caused by the aneurysmal wall may seep into the AAA sac. These are collectively referred to as internal leakage. Common internal leakage after EVAR, about 40% of people during the development of monitoring (follow-up). Internal leakage may be related to ruptured advanced aneurysm, so testing and monitoring are essential.&nbsp;</div>
<div><img alt="endovascular aortic aneurysm repair" src="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/upload/img/20180123/201801231138474798.jpg" height="358" width="500" data-cke-saved-src="/upload/img/20180123/201801231138474798.jpg" /></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/product/show_product.php?id=2360" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/product/show_product.php?id=2360">Ultrasound</a></span></span>&nbsp;(using high frequency sound waves), computed tomography (using X-rays), and magnetic resonance scanning (using strong magnetic fields and radio waves) have been used to detect and monitor internal leaks. Dyes (contrast media) are sometimes injected into veins to improve the accuracy of ultrasound (contrast-enhanced ultrasound).</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>One survey showed significant individual effects based on statistically significant years of publication and study quality for individuals based on the CDUS study. In studies published prior to 2006, the sensitivity estimate was higher than the research plan published in 2006 or later (P &lt;0.001); and the studies judged as low / unclear provided a higher sensitivity estimate. When regression testing was applied to a person-based CE-CDUS study, none of the items (ie, the direction, quality, and age at which the study was designed) were identified as a source of heterogeneity.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Twenty-two studies provided accuracy data based on the number of scans performed (four of which provided data on the use and non-use of contrast). Studies that provide scan-based data have shown similar results. The CDUS summary (18 studies) showed a sensitivity of 0.87 (95% CI 0.55 to 0.85), specificity of 0.95 (95% CI 0.90 to 0.96) and CE-CDUS% CI 0.71 to 0.96).</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>This review shows that these two modes of ultrasound (with or without contrast) show high specificity. For internal leakage, CE-CDUS seems to outperform CDUS. In an endovascular monitoring program, CE-CDUS can be introduced as a routine diagnostic modality followed by a CT scan to determine the type of endoleak and subsequent management of care only if the ultrasound is positive.</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<div>3-D ultrasound&nbsp;&nbsp;is rapidly emerging from the research and development stage</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>

The sensor captures a series of images of the subject, sheets, and then computer processes the images and presents them as three-dimensional images. Using computer control, operators have access to views that may not be able to use ordinary two-dimensional<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/htm/veterinary-ultrasound/Veterinary-Ultrasound-MSLVU22.html" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/htm/veterinary-ultrasound/Veterinary-Ultrasound-MSLVU22.html">ultrasound scans</a></span>. Three-dimensional ultrasound is rapidly emerging from the research and development stage, and is now widely used in clinical practice. This is also the focus of the news. Faster, more advanced business models are entering the market.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Scanning requires special detectors and software to accumulate and render images, reducing the rendering time from minutes to seconds.</div>
<div>Further two-dimensional scanning can be extracted from the three-dimensional scanning information block. Volumetric measurements are more accurate and doctors and parents can better understand some abnormalities or abnormalities in the 3D scan rather than two-dimensional and potentially increase the psychological connection between parents and children.</div>
<div><img alt="3-D ultrasound" src="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/upload/img/20180122/201801221428583706.jpg" data-cke-saved-src="/upload/img/20180122/201801221428583706.jpg" /></div>
<div>More and more literature is accumulating the usefulness of 3D scanning and the diagnosis of congenital anomalies may be of concern for recovery. The current evidence has shown that smaller defects, such as spina bifida, cleft lip / cleft lip and palate and multiple deformities, may be clearer. Other more subtle features, such as lower ears, facial deformities, or club ringworm can be better assessed, resulting in more effective diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities. Research on fetal heart deformities has also drawn attention. However, the three-dimensional images are still very much dependent on the skill of the operator, the amount of fluid (amniotic fluid) around the fetus, its location and the extent of maternal obesity, and therefore a good image&nbsp;</div>
<div>can not be obtained.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Recently, a four-dimensional scanner, also known as&nbsp;dynamic three-dimensional scanner, has appeared on the market. The attraction of seeing the baby's face and movement before birth is also well-documented in childcare and health magazines. This is believed to have an important catalytic effect on the relationship of mothers with their babies before birth. The so-called "re-assurance scan" and the wrong "entertainment scan" have become popular. Most experts do not think that 3D and<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/htm/sonoscape-ultrasound/SonoScape-S50.html" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/htm/sonoscape-ultrasound/SonoScape-S50.html">4D ultrasound</a></span><span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span>will be the compulsory evolution of our traditional 2D scan, but an additional tool like Doppler ultrasound. Whether 3-D ultrasound will provide unique information or merely supplemental information&nbsp;of traditional 2D ultrasound remains to be seen.</div>

      <title><![CDATA[Which is better between tranvaginal ultrasound and abdomen ultrasound]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Which-is-better-between-tranvaginal-ultrasound-and-abdomen-ultrasound/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div>Which is better between tranvaginal ultrasound and abdomen ultrasound</div>
<div>B ultrasound is radiation-free, so there is no need to worry about ultrasound the same as X-ray. Many doctors will say that ultrasound is absolutely safe and risk-free&nbsp;in order to let patients completely relieved. Actually, there is nothing wrong with this argument, but it is really more serious than ever to say that there is no risk of some kind of inspection. People always think that these words are too absolute and can not be trusted.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>B-ultrasound is indeed a potential risk for embryos, but the risk is&nbsp;thermal damage rather than radiation. According to the study, if the ultrasound probe stays in the same part of the fetus for more than 5 to 15 minutes, it may cause adverse effects on the fetus. However, with the practice of a professional Doctor, I have not heard of any doctor who will stay in one place for 5 minutes.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The real potential risk of B-ultrasound is related to the duration of the probe's stay. With a professional doctor's operation, it should not be possible to have the adverse effect of the situation. Therefore, that B-ultrasound during pregnancy is safe and risk-free, it should be no problem.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><img alt="tranvaginal ultrasound" src="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/upload/img/20180115/201801151759401085.jpg" data-cke-saved-src="/upload/img/20180115/201801151759401085.jpg" /></div>
<div>However, it is said that there is a Po on the so-called home ultrasound system, you can at home belly fetus, you can listen to fetal heart. This situation is recommended to avoid as much as possible. Because there is no person who has received B super professional training, it is easy to unconsciously probe will stay in the same place for a long time, resulting in unnecessary risk. Therefore, the United States FDA also issued a warning, suggest that the general population do not buy their own home with ultrasound.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Usually 6-7 weeks of pregnancy when pregnant women will be recommended to do a B-ultrasound to understand is not normal intrauterine pregnancy, there is no fetal heart rate, while measuring the size of the embryo, check the gestational age. For this time B-ultrasound, wall crack proposed vaginal B-ultrasound, and do not do abdominal B-ultrasound.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Because early pregnancy vaginal sees more clearly, &nbsp;when the HCG&gt; 1500 ~ 2000IU / L, the vaginal ultrasound can see intrauterine gestational sac tissue. However, because of the small embryos in the first trimester, if it is done in the abdomen, the urinary bladder needs urination as a "translucent window" to observe. Therefore, the abdomen ultrasound needs to be at least 6,000 for HCG.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>There have been several patients had abdomen B-ultrasound that can not see the obvious germ and fetal heart. So the doctor later consulted to do a tranvaginal ultrasound, in fact, have a fetal heart. Misdiagnosis rate of early pregnancy B-ultrasound was significantly higher than vaginal B-ultrasound.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Many people are afraid to do vaginal ultrasound, because they think there is a probe into the vagina, will not cause abortion? It can be very clear that tranvaginal ultrasound is safe and will not cause miscarriage. Even if there is vaginal bleeding, suspected ectopic pregnancy or threatened abortion, doing vaginal B- is still safe.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>It is because of the safety of tranvaginal ultrasound, &nbsp;lower rate of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis,&nbsp;tranvaginal ultrasound is recommended.</div>

      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Ultrasound-provides-good-diagnostic-accuracy-in-identifying-suitable-gastric-tube-placement/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div>Ultrasound provides good diagnostic accuracy in identifying suitable gastric tube placement</div>
<div>Approximately 1 million people a year receive tube feeding in the United States. &nbsp;Gastric tubes are commonly used to administer drugs and nutrients directly to the gastrointestinal tract (tubes that digest food) to those who can not swallow. Severe pneumonia (infection of the lungs) is caused by catheters placed in the trachea (duct) &nbsp;dislocated. Therefore, it is important to confirm the gastric tube inserted into the tube. After breathing assistance is provided through the mask, the stomach tube is also used to lower the pressure of the stomach, mainly for resuscitation. Medical ultrasound is one of the diagnostic imaging techniques that uses sound waves to create images of the body's interior. Recent studies have shown that ultrasound provides good&nbsp;</div>
<div>diagnostic accuracy in identifying suitable tube placement. Therefore, ultrasound can provide a promising alternative to X-ray tube placement, especially&nbsp;</div>
<div>where X-ray equipment is not available or difficult to access.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Stomach tubes are often used to take drugs and tube feeding to people who can not swallow. Eating through a tracheal tube can lead to severe pneumonia. Therefore, it is important to determine the location of the gastric tube after insertion of the tube.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Recent studies have reported that ultrasonography provides a good estimate of diagnostic accuracy in terms of identifying suitable tube placement. Therefore, ultrasound can provide a promising alternative to X-ray tube placement, especially in environments where X-ray equipment is unavailable or inaccessible. We identified 10 studies (545 participants and 560 tubes inserted) that met our inclusion criteria.</div>
<div><img alt="gastric tube placement" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/4b/2e/8c/4b2e8c5bc47c4f14a9018be630671897.jpg" data-cke-saved-src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/4b/2e/8c/4b2e8c5bc47c4f14a9018be630671897.jpg" /></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>No study was assigned low risk bias or low concern in each QUADAS-2 area. We only judged three (30%) studies at a lower risk of bias in the area of ??participant selection because they performed an ultrasound examination after confirming the correct location by other means.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Due to the low incidence of dislocation, very few data (43 participants) are available for dislocation detection (specificity). We did not conduct meta-analyzes because of significant heterogeneity of exponential tests, such as differences in echo windows, combinations of ultrasound with other validation methods (eg, visualization by sonographic saline flushing), and ultrasound during catheter insertion. The sensitivity of individual studies was estimated from 0.50 to 1.00 for all settings and from 0.17 to 1.00 for specificity. Participants who did not have easy access to X-ray participants underwent gastric tube insertion for drainage (4 studies, 305 participants). Sensitivity was estimated from 0.86 to 0.98 for ultrasound combined with other confirmatory tests, with a specificity estimate Is 1.00, the confidence interval is wide.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>For studies using ultrasound alone (four studies, 314 participants), the sensitivities ranged from 0.91 to 0.98 and the specificity estimates ranged from 0.67 to 1.00. Fewer studies have a lower risk of bias in the ten studies that assess the diagnostic accuracy of gastric tube placement. Based on limited evidence, ultrasound as a single test to confirm that gastric tube placement is not accurate enough. However, in cases where X-rays are not readily available, ultrasound may help detect misplaced gastric tubes. More research is needed to determine the possibility of using ultrasound to determine adverse events when placing tubes.</div>

      <title><![CDATA[How to Print Fetus Using Ultrasound]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/How-to-Print-Fetus-Using-Ultrasound/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>How to Print Fetus Using Ultrasound When Ana Paula Silveira became pregnant, she and her husband, Alvaro Zermiani, dreamed of seeing the child's face on the first ultrasound examination. But a few weeks later, they felt it. Ana Paula and Alvaro, who live in Sao Paulo, Brazil, are both blind. Their son Davi Lucas is physically fit, but their eyes can not see the first grainy glimpse of their baby on the ultrasound monitor. They decided to go the other way. The couple went to the office of Dr. Heron Werner, an obstetrician and gynecologist working at the DASA clinic in Rio de Janeiro. He agreed to follow Anna Paula through her pregnancy. Dr. Werner uses a 3D printer to create a realistic model of the images obtained with GE sonicator. Dr. Werner said: "From the very moment we performed the high-quality ultrasound, through the possibility of 3D printing, I realized that it could also improve prenatal experiences for visually impaired pregnant women. Anna Paula agrees. She said: "It's an unspeakable feeling to keep a baby fetus at 12 weeks." "The inheritance of our son's evolution gives us this overall feeling because of our touch. Follow is the video how to Print Fetus Using 4D Ultrasound</p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wq-yzB4Em_c" height="315" width="560"></iframe></p>
<p>Dr. Werner got the idea of ​​a 3D printed baby during his visit to the National Museum of Rio de Janeiro, which is using a tomography machine to digitize ancient Egyptian exhibits. He said: "We do not think we are using [medical imaging] to print a fetal model.</p>
<p>Anna Paula said that being able to hold her son's print model is a great gift. "When we touched the second model, with Davi's face, we realized his similarities with us." Through exams and printing, we not only know how healthy our children grow but also with our Son to establish a very real relationship and establish a very close relationship with them. "</p>
<p>Physicians can use ultrasound machine to help parents better understand congenital defects such as cleft lip, abnormal limbs or abdominal wall defects. In some cases, 3D printing can enhance the discussion of surgery plans and serve as an educational tool.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[X-ray, CT, ultrasound, nuclear magnetic resonance, what is the difference]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/X-ray-CT-ultrasound-nuclear-magnetic-resonance-what-is-the-difference/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>X-ray, CT, ultrasound, nuclear magnetic resonance, what is the difference</p>
<p>X-ray is to took a photo examination of your body. So X-ray is also called film, a very vivid image. In fact, CT also use X-ray to take pictures of the body. However, it is not to take a picture, but to shoot a lot of pictures, check layer by layer. Ultrasound is the way to send out ultrasound and then use the reflected echoes to portrait the image. Nuclear magnetic resonance, also known as MRI, is to use a strong magnetic field, so that the body of hydrogen atoms, the first team and then disbanded to accept the electromagnetic signals during this period, giving the body "portrait."</p>
<p>However, the above explanation is too common.Let's try to explain in simple terms.</p>
<p>Take an example of watermelon. When we want to buy watermelon, how do you check it is delicious? X-ray examination, is to take a perspective photo to check watermelon . CT examination, is to cut the melon into a piece to see clearly. B-ultrasound, is like we pat the watermelon, then listen to the echo. MRI, is to pick up the shake the watermelon and then watch the pick it.</p>
<p><img title="types of examination" alt="X-ray, CT, ultrasound, nuclear magnetic resonance, types of examination" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/ultrasound/blood_loss.png" /></p>
<p>Normally, different part of the body use different way of examination.</p>
<p>Brain and spinal cord CT and MRI are the most commonly used. Such as acute stroke, spinal trauma, CT generally do first, a detailed analysis available NMR.</p>
<p>Spine (cervical, lumbar, thoracic) Skeletal problems are most commonly seen with X-rays, others usually with MRI and CT. Chest The most common are X-ray and CT; The general general situation about the election X-ray, detailed analysis of selected CT, lung examination generally do not choose the MRI.</p>
<p>Heart The most common cardiac function is ultrasound, coronary heart disease is the most commonly used CT or coronary angiography; Nuclear magnetic resonance can also be used for cardiac exams.</p>
<p>Esophagus, stomach The most commonly used is X-ray, when diagnosed with endoscopy. Abdomen, pelvis The most commonly used equipment is ultrasound.</p>
<p>However, it should be noted that all the above situation are conventional cases, not absolute, requiring specific analysis of specific issues. Each imaging examination principle is different. Each has strengths. There is no absolute test of the points, nor is the more expensive the better. According to different parts and the need to check the focus, choose a different imaging method. Sometimes a check is enough, sometimes you need to do a variety of checks in order to ensure accurate diagnosis. The best way is: listen to the doctors.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Ultrasound diagnosis of birth weight imbalance in twin pregnancies]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Ultrasound-diagnosis-of-birth-weight-imbalance-in-twin-pregnancies/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;Ultrasound diagnosis of birth weight imbalance&nbsp;in twin pregnancies</p>
<p>Birth weight imbalance (BWD), defined as the difference in twin birth weights, is a well-documented phenomenon in twin pregnancies. When twins are suitable for the gestational age, inconsistent growth can occur as physiological BWD, or physiological BWD may occur when at least one fetus is small at gestational age.</p>
<p>BWD is one of the major risk factors for poor fetal, neonatal and maternal outcomes. Demissie et al. Found that the ratio of fetal deaths ranged from 1.26 to 12.75 and the ratio of neonatal deaths ranged from 1.02 to 3.43, depending on the degree of birth weight difference. Kilic and colleagues report a higher prevalence of mortality, sepsis, polycythemia, hypoglycemia, anemia and respiratory distress syndrome among different twins. Wen et al. Report a higher likelihood of maternal hypertension, eclampsia, and other medical complications associated with bilateral BWD. BWD occurs in about 15% to 30% of twin pregnancies based on chorionicity, a degree of inconsistency, and the threshold for use. Fetal growth abnormalities are associated with a variety of diseases that affect the health of the fetus or newborns, such as twin transfusion (TTT), chromosomal aberrations or structural defects. Excluding these conditions, uncoordinated growth itself is considered an independent factor associated with poor perinatal outcomes. BWWs of 20% and 30% are the most common thresholds used in the literature to identify adverse perinatal outcomes. A recent study showed that a BWD greater than or equal to 30% was significantly associated with perinatal adverse events.</p>
<p>Several mechanisms have been proposed to uncoordinate the growth of the fetus exposed to the same intrauterine environment. For single-fetus (MC) twin pregnancies, the mechanism can be explained by conditions such as TTT and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). Both conditions lead to higher fetal and neonatal mortality risks compared to twins. Technology can be used to manage TTT, including amniotic fluid reduction and ostomy, so monitoring usually starts after 20 weeks.</p>
<p>In the case of DC twin pregnancies, IUGR and placental pathology can lead to inconsistent growth. Other suggested mechanisms of BWD are abnormal umbilical cord insertion and placental insufficiency. These conditions are not treatable; the primary management is therefore to determine the health of the fetus and to determine the optimal delivery time to save the unborn twins.</p>
<p><img title="Ultrasound diagnosis" alt="Ultrasound diagnosis" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/ultrasound/twins.png" /></p>
<p>The incidence of disharmonious twins was higher than that of identical twins (odds ratio 5.69; 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.24 to 10.00). If this inconsistency increases to more than 30% of body weight differences and/or if TTT is suspected, the clinician must decide whether to deliver twins to avoid fetal illness or even death. The clinical relevance of other BWD thresholds (eg, 25%, 20%) and estimated fetal birth weight measured by ultrasound (eg, biparietal diameter) associated with poor outcome has not so far been systematically reviewed. Therefore, we aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the available ultrasound measurements used to determine the estimated BWD for various thresholds of twin pregnancies.</p>
<p>Ultrasound has been an important tool in the diagnosis of BWD since 1972. Diagnostic ultrasound(usg ultrasound)&nbsp;is a complex electronic technique that utilizes high-frequency sound pulses to produce images. In the past, the only technique available was abdominal palpation, which was very poor for detecting developmental inconsistency. Radiological examination is not recommended because it is not safe for the fetus.</p>
<p>The diagnosis of BWD can be done in three modes of ultrasound:</p>
<p>A series of diagnostic two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound exams to assess twin fetal growth, identify chorion, and diagnose umbilical cord, amniotic layers, congenital abnormalities, and TTT problems;</p>
<p>Doppler ultrasonography to detect abnormal blood flow patterns in the fetal/placental circulation may indicate poor fetal prognosis;</p>
<p>Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound is used to promote placental assessment, such as quantitative and qualitative assessment of surface imaging and volume measurement, placental vascularization, and blood flow.</p>
<p>The standard diagnostic test for inconsistent growth is ultrasound. Incomparable growth can be estimated by measuring the length of the buttocks (CRL: distance measured from overhead to buttocks) at or before 12 weeks of gestation. Thereafter, other ultrasound measurements, such as biparietal diameter (BPD), abdominal circumference (AC), and femur length (FL), were used to estimate fetal weight and calculate BWD during the second trimester and the third trimester</p>
<p>It is not yet clear whether BWD can be accurately predicted in the first trimester of pregnancy, whether ultrasound scan machine parameters are more reliable during each pregnancy to assess inconsistency, and whether any particular ultrasound modality (eg 2D or 3D) is superior to other ultrasound modalities.</p>
<p>In addition to BWD, chorionic sex information is necessary for the management of twin pregnancies for the following reasons.</p>
<p>Due to co-vascularization, MC twin fetuses have a higher morbidity and mortality.</p>
<p>If there is a single evidence of chorionic irritation in early ultrasound screening, the screening should be continued during the second and third trimesters.</p>
<p>Early ultrasound testing reduced the differential diagnosis of underlying causes such as fetal sharing and subsequent vascular anastomosis, which is the underlying cause of fetal BWD. DC twin pregnancies are expected to have a better prognosis because they do not share the placenta.</p>
<p>Interim gestational ultrasound screening for 16 to 24 weeks provides other measures such as exchange, maximum and vertical amniotic pockets and identification of dividing membranes, umbilical arteries and potential Doppler studies.</p>

      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/How-a-Nephrologist-Benefits-from-Portable-Echo-Machine/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>How a Nephrologist Benefits from Portable Echo Machine</p>
<p>Nathaniel Reisinger, Clinical Lecturer in Clinical Medicine, Clinical Ultrasound Fellow and Nephrologist, is one of a growing number of physicians who benefit from the portable echo machine. Dr. Reisinger uses mini ultrasound machine to visualize IVC as well as the lungs to identify conditions such as pleural effusions.</p>
<p><img title="portable ultrasound" alt="portable ultrasound" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/ultrasound/MSLCU89-4.jpg" /></p>
<p>Although Dr. Reisinger can use a variety of ultrasound systems, he prefers ultra-portable devices. He purchased a Clarius Wireless Ultrasound Scanner earlier this year and is using it daily. "When I scan the patient, my patient spends more time." I talked with them, I knew their history, and I never knew about their personal affair, Dr. Reisinger said. More importantly, the patient is engaged in their own care. "</p>
<p>Dr. Reisinger also likes Clarius working with his own personal device, further enhancing the ability to carry ultrasound scanners. "I do not have to use some of the company's proprietary tablets and I do not have to go out and buy Android; I can use the devices I already use. I do not have to carry two or more. I do not have to rely on ultrasound in the ICU or ER. Take it with you in your pocket. "</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Is portable  ultrasound leading the trend]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Is-portable-ultrasound-leading-the-trend/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Portable ultrasound, also called protable echo machine, has many advantages. Is protable ultrasound leading the trend? Instant Care Ultrasound is a groundbreaking technology that can change the health care - it fits in your palm. London is at the forefront of using this device and its portability (laptop or palm size) is the biggest advantage. Dr. Robert Arntfield, an intensive care physician at the London Health Sciences Center, said: "We can bring the ultrasound device to the patient instead of bringing the patient to the ultrasound scan machine." He added: "Like the way they put the stethoscope on their chests, it's an ultrasound probe, so ultrasound does not really get the doctor back to the bed, as many other techniques do.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Anterfield is an expert in this area of ​​technology, and he emphasizes the importance of medicine in the moment. "This is very helpful for those of us who practice in acute care settings such as intensive care units, emergency rooms, and operating theaters - where it is sometimes dangerous to transport patients and what diagnoses and problems they may encounter Changing, ".</p>
<p>From traditional stethoscopes to diagnostic techniques that can be placed in the palm of your hand, technology is likely to revolutionize medicine.</p>
<p>"Even in handheld devices, the handhelds you can see are almost as large as a cellphone, but we have the ability to use color Doppler to check blood flow and be able to generate images that are almost the same as larger images you see the device of".</p>
<p>Dr. James Calvin, LHSC Medical Director, said improved diagnoses also contribute to the healthcare system.</p>
<p>Sometimes, instead of spending two or three days to solve a problem, we can find the answer faster. If we can get the answer faster, we can not only reduce the cost but also improve the patient's experience.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[How Does A Low-Cost 3D Ultrasound Come into Being]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/How-Does-A-Low-Cost-3D-Ultrasound-Come-into-Being/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div>Many great inventions are invented by accident. Is &nbsp;the 3D ultrasound the same too?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Joshua Broder was using a Wii handset to bat a ping-pong ball back and forth when the idea struck. An emergency physician at Duke University Medical Center, he uses ultrasound to understand what&rsquo;s happening inside a patient&rsquo;s body, and treat wounds and illnesses. But the picture he gets, while rapid enough to operate in real time, is two dimensional and hard to parse.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&ldquo;The controller in my hand is really an inexpensive thing,&rdquo; he thought. &ldquo;Why is it that expensive medical devices don&rsquo;t use that kind of low cost technology?&rdquo;</div>
<div>&nbsp;<img title="usg machine, small ultrasound machine, usg probe, 3D Ultrasound" alt="usg machine, small ultrasound machine, usg probe, 3D Ultrasound" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/ultrasound/ultrasound.png" /></div>
<div>With some help from engineers at Duke and Stanford, Broder 3D printed a body for an ultrasound wand that&rsquo;s meant to house accelerometers and gyroscopes similar to the ones found in phones or Wiimotes. These small devices, which have become ubiquitous and cheap thanks to the smartphone revolution, work together to determine the angle, position and orientation of your phone, so you can play games, keep the screen upright and use gestures. Attached to the wand of the ultrasound, which emits and receives the ultrasound like radar, the same sensors track its precise position. Then, as the images are taken, software uses that information to stitch them all together into a three-dimensional file. The output, while not approaching the image quality of an MRI or CT scan, is much easier to understand than a 2D ultrasound image, which can appear grainy and confusing.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The ultrasound machines Broder is building upon are different from the ones doctors use to image unborn fetuses. While those cart-sized machines do provide 3D images, they cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and are not extremely portable. What Broder describes is a small, 3D-printed attachment for a $25,000, laptop-sized 2D ultrasound machine.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Point-of-care ultrasound, in which doctors use ultrasound during a physical exam to inform further care, is becoming more common&mdash;a market which P&amp;S Market Research expects to grow at 7 percent per year until 2025&mdash;but it still remains an underutilized resource, says Chris Fox, director of instructional ultrasound at the University of California-Irvine. He teaches ultrasound techniques to doctors across a wide variety of specialties, from the emergency room to internal medicine, how to capture and read ultrasound images. &ldquo;The quality of care simply improves when you can look through the patient&rsquo;s skin at the organs you&rsquo;re concerned about, right there at the point of care, and not have to wait for another test to come back,&rdquo; says Fox.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>An ultrasound view into the abdomen can tell a physician whether the patient is experiencing a bowel obstruction, a gallstone or a blocked kidney, for example. Shortness of breath can be attributed to pneumonia, fluid in the chest or fluid around the heart. In these ways, doctors can use ultrasound to determine whether a patient needs to be sent for further imaging or not. And they frequently use ultrasound to guide needle placement in laparoscopic surgery and other procedures that require the precise placement of implements, because it can show a real-time image of the needle entering the tissue.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>But that&rsquo;s where 2D ultrasound gets tricky; you can&rsquo;t see much of the tissue and it&rsquo;s hard to differentiate vasculature, nerves, muscle and bone. &ldquo;All we&rsquo;re seeing is a slice, and we have to decide right now, are we going to look at this in a longitudinal plane, or a transverse plane? That is confusing to have to commit to one of those two planes,&rdquo; says Fox. A transverse view would show the needle coming toward the viewer, and a longitudinal view would show the needle entering from the side, but in these two dimensional planes it&rsquo;s very hard to determine depth, and therefore whether the needle is positioned properly. &ldquo;Three-dimensional ultrasound is so much easier to interpret that it really would remove this layer of insecurity I think a lot of doctors have, when it comes to trying to learn ultrasound.&rdquo;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>More simply put, 2D ultrasound is hard to use. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s hard for people who&rsquo;ve never done ultrasound before to learn how to take pictures and interpret them,&rdquo; says Broder. &ldquo;We want this to be such an intuitive technology that many different medical personnel could use it immediately with almost no training.&rdquo;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Presenting at the American College of Emergency Physicians research forum, Broder described what he sees as a primary function of the technology: brain imaging in young children. Kids under two years old have soft skulls, and ultrasound can see right in, and help diagnose hydrocephalus, where cerebrospinal fluid causes pressure in the brain. He used it to record an image of the brain of a 7-month-old child, while the baby sat peacefully in his mother&rsquo;s lap. It required no radiation, like a CT scan, and the child didn&rsquo;t have to be motionless or sedated, like an MRI. They simply drew the wand across the boy&rsquo;s head, in a painting motion. In ten seconds it was done.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Open-source software called 3D Slicer renders the result on-screen with three axes and a slider that allows physicians to open up the image and view a cross section. Technically, it&rsquo;s a stack of 2D images&mdash;up to 1,000 of them&mdash;laid next to each other, but the software can also estimate the volume of features within them, which is especially useful in diagnosing tumors.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s just a much more dynamic dataset than when you take a still picture,&rdquo; says Broder. &ldquo;Think of the analogy of a photograph on your camera. Once you&rsquo;ve taken the picture, you can play around with it, but if you didn&rsquo;t like the angle that you took the picture from, you can&rsquo;t fix it &hellip; when you&rsquo;ve got a three-dimensional dataset, you really have a lot of control over what questions you want to ask and how you answer them.&rdquo;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Even the more expensive ultrasound machines don&rsquo;t offer the accuracy of CT or MRI imaging, nor can they image an entire body, but that&rsquo;s not the point, says Broder. &ldquo;We want to bring the cost in line,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;We suffer in western medicine by doing a lot of things to perhaps to a greater degree of accuracy or precision than we need, and that drives the cost high. So what we want to do is exactly what the patient needs&mdash;provide the level of detail required for their best care.&rdquo;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>As point-of-care ultrasound use surges, Broder&rsquo;s team isn&rsquo;t the only one trying to improve the machines. Clear Guide ONE, built by doctors from Johns Hopkins, also uses a wand attachment, but employs a visual system to track needle insertion, though it&rsquo;s restricted to that application. And, while it only offers two-dimensional ultrasound, a device called Clarius pairs wirelessly to a smartphone to sidestep the computer altogether and drive the price down below $10,000.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The small size and low cost of Broder&rsquo;s device makes it useful in areas around the globe where it&rsquo;s impossible or not cost effective to use the bigger machines. GE agreed, awarding Broder $200,000 in its inaugural Point of Care Ultrasound Research Challenge. As it is, the device is currently undergoing clinical trials, and Broder and his collaborators hold an international patent on it. In the future, Broder imagines pairing the device with an EKG to get real time imaging of heartbeats. If the data from the EKG is matched to the individual images taken by the ultrasound, you can sort the pictures based on when they occurred within the cardiac cycle. This &ldquo;4D&rdquo; imaging could give better pictures of the heart, as it compensates for the motion of the heart itself, as well as breathing.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&ldquo;We can do a lot of the same things that the expensive 3D machines can do, but at a much lower cost,&rdquo; says Broder. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re just at this incredible time where computing technologies have really facilitated what we&rsquo;ve done.&rdquo;</div>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Mini ultrasound and stethscope-which is better?</p>
<p>Mini ultrasound is already a valuable adjunct to the stethoscope and plays an important and increasing role in medical education and physical diagnosis. So which is better, mini ultrasound or stethoscope?</p>
<p>" mini ultrasound technology is far superior to the stethoscope in the ability it provides to an experienced user in rapidly 'ruling out or ruling in' certain key diagnoses, immediately, at the patient's bedside," Dr. Sharon L. Mulvagh, MD, FRCP(C), and Dr. Anjali Bhagra, MBBS say. "People like to compare ultrasound to the stethoscope, but ultrasound is actually a much more powerful tool when used well," Christopher L. Moore, MD, RDMS, RDCS, associate professor of emergency medicine at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, told Medscape Medical News. "Like the stethoscope, the contribution to diagnosis is directly related to the skill of the operator."</p>
<p><img title="mini ultrasound" alt="mini ultrasound, small ultrasound machine, mini ultrasound machine" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/mini_ultrasound.png" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From the perspective of cost and feasibility, previous impediments to widespread use of ultrasound have included their cost and size. The development of faster microprocessors and better miniaturization has recently allowed fully functional ultrasound machines in laptop computers, or even as handheld devices that fit in a coat pocket. As the price of mini ultrasound devices has fallen, they are now more accessible to physicians other than radiologists and cardiologists. "We are advocating that mini ultrasound devices be used as an extension of the stethoscope, and not a replacement for the stethoscope," Dr. Mulvagh and Dr. Bhagra said. " mini ultrasound is intended to enhance the physical examination by actually 'seeing,' or 'not seeing' (ruling in or out) the suspected pathophysiology from a carefully performed clinical assessment."</p>
<p>However, it is not easy to widespread mini ultrasound use. Problems include possible reservations by specialists already trained in ultrasound use and interpretation, issues regarding medical records and billing, false-negative as well as false-positive results, and potential distraction of medical students from the core principles of physical diagnosis. "It is important that when ultrasound is used as a focused diagnostic test in an appropriate situation that it be reimbursed appropriately, even when done by nonradiologists," Dr. Moore said. "This will help to ensure quality and provide the resources for equipment and teaching that are needed to do it well."He noted that false-negatives and false-positives caused by less-experienced operators will decrease with more practice and exposure and should not unnecessarily limit mini ultrasound use. "At the same time, it is important that people using ultrasound receive good training and understand their limitations, that strong policies are in place about what can and should be done with ultrasound [and] by whom, particularly when ruling in or ruling out a diagnosis, and that patients also are made aware of the difference between a point-of-care ultrasound and a comprehensive study," Dr. Moore added.</p>

      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Obstetrical-ultrasound-can-the-fetus-feel-about-it/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Obstetrical ultrasound: can the fetus feel about it?</p>
<p>Obstetrical ultrasound is a must when you are pregrant. However, you may wonder, can the fetus feel about it when we using ultrasound scan? The answer is "Yes". So what do the fetus feel?</p>
<p>"Fetuses can hear ultrasound and the sound is as loud as a subway train entering a station." This statement originates in a single report in a non-peer reviewed journal, despite its name 1, of a presentation at a scientific meeting by researchers who reported measuring the sound intensity in the uterus of pregnant women and being able to demonstrate the above. This was later published in a peer-review journal 2 probably not very widely read by clinicians or the general public. From time to time, the popular press or various pregnancy-related websites repeat the assertion or a worried pregnant patient inquires about the truthfulness of this statement. A second, oft-quoted concern is that ultrasound leads to heating of the amniotic fluid. These two assertions may be very concerning to expectant parents and merit scientific scrutiny. In this editorial, we shall examine the known facts about the physical properties of ultrasound as they relate to these two issues.</p>
<p>Diagnostic ultrasound employs a pulsed sound wave with positive and negative pressures and the Mayo team, quoted in the New Scientist, predicted that the pulsing would translate into a "tapping" effect 1. According to their report, they placed a tiny hydrophone inside a woman's uterus while she was undergoing an ultrasound examination. They stated that they picked up a hum at around the frequency of the pulsing generated when the ultrasound is switched on and off. The sound was similar to the highest notes on a piano. They also indicated that when the ultrasound probe was pointed right at the hydrophone, it registered a level of 100 decibels, as loud as a subway train coming into a station. ultrasound scan Sound levels in decibels are defined for audible frequencies with the reference level being the threshold for hearing at a given frequency. Although the operating frequencies used in sonography are inaudible, it is possible for the pulsing rate (pulse repetition frequency, PRF) to be heard, thus falling in the audible range.</p>
<p><img title="obstetrical ultrasound" alt="ultrasound scan, usg ultrasound, obstetrical ultrasound, diagnostic ultrasound" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/ultrasound/ultrasound_scan.jpg" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A previous report had hinted at similar phenomena 3.Ultrasound is a pressure wave with a frequency beyond (ultra) that detectable in the human auditory system. The human ear can discern sound at roughly 20 - 20 000 cycles (hertz) per second. The frequencies of diagnostic ultrasound are roughly 1 - 10 megahertz (MHz) or 1 000 000 to 10 000 000 cycles per second. It is a form of energy and, as such, may have effects in tissues it traverses. Any consequences occurring in living tissues secondary to an external influence are called biological effects or bioeffects. This term does not imply damage or harm. The two major mechanisms for bioeffects are thermal and non-thermal. Thermal effects are secondary to ultrasound energy being converted into heat in the tissue (indirect effect of ultrasound) and non-thermal effects are secondary to the alternating positive and negative pressures generated by the wave (direct effect).</p>
<p>The definition of moderately loud sound is 60 - 70 dB (2 &times; 10-3-2 &times; 10-2 Pa), defined as high urban ambient sound, normal conversation at 1 m, or living room music 4. In comparison, quiet conversation is 40 dB, a railway diesel engine passing at 45 mph at 100 feet is 80 - 85 dB and a rock band is 110 dB 4. There have been a few publications describing harm to fetuses exposed to elevated levels of ambient noise, particularly industrial noise 567, specifically in the aircraft and textile industries, but while there have been reports of impaired hearing in infants who were exposed to ultrasound in the womb, several rigorous studies have disproved that notion 891011. Furthermore, a study of fetuses exposed in utero to vibroacoustic stimulation 12 and a recent study of fetuses exposed to noise generated during an MR exam of the pregnant women 13 showed no ill effect on the auditory system. There have been some reports of being able to hear a "hum" during transcranial ultrasound.</p>
<p>This may be the pulse-repetition frequency (PRF), but, if so, it would be described as a higher pitch, and probably not a "hum". To our knowledge, this phenomenon has not been investigated. Although the report mentioned above suggested that diagnostic ultrasound is detectable at measurable levels in the uterus, there is no independently confirmed, peer-reviewed, published evidence that the fetus actually hears the PRF, responds to it or is harmed by it."The fetus cannot regulate its own body temperature, so amniotic fluid can reach very high temperatures over long periods" 14. Does this statement reflect a real risk? What does it mean if this statement is scientifically true? The fear is, of course, that this will raise the temperature of the fetus. Thermally induced teratogenesis has been demonstrated in many animal studies, as well as several controlled human studies 1516. A temperature increase of 1.5 &deg;C above the normal value has been suggested as a universal threshold 17. It is important to note that diagnostic ultrasound was not the source of the temperature elevation in any of these studies.</p>
<p>Some believe that there are temperature thresholds for hyperthermia-induced birth defects (hence the ALARA [as low as reasonably achievable] principle), but there is some evidence that any positive temperature differential for any period of time has some effect, in other words there may be no thermal threshold for hyperthermia-induced birth defects 18. In experimental animals the most common defects are microcephaly with associated functional and behavioral problems 17, microphthalmia and cataracts. There are reports on the effects of hyperthermia and measurements of in vivo temperature induced by pulsed ultrasound but not in humans 192021. Temperature increases of 1 &deg;C are easily reached in routine scanning 22. Elevation of up to 1.5 &deg;C can be obtained in the first trimester and up to 4 &deg;C in the second and third trimesters, particularly with the use of pulsed Doppler 23. When the ultrasound wave travels through tissue, its intensity diminishes with distance (attenuation). In completely homogeneous materials, the signal amplitude is reduced only by beam divergence and absorption (conversion of sound to heat). However, biologic tissues are non-homogeneous and further weakening occurs due to scattering.</p>
<p>The issue of temperature increase in the amniotic fluid is based on the fact that the energy of the ultrasound waves is partially converted to heat in the tissue traversed by the waves. Tissues with a high absorption coefficient (such as bone) will produce a high conversion rate while the conversion will be lower in tissues with low absorption. Fluids have very low absorption characteristics and, therefore, the risk of temperature elevation in the amniotic fluid is minimal. The only available study on the topic did not demonstrate any increase in temperature in the amniotic fluid when performing diagnostic ultrasound, both in grayscale anatomic imaging (sonography) and Doppler ultrasound 24. ConclusionWhile ultrasound is a sound wave which can produce mechanical effects and temperature elevation in tissues that it traverses, the risk to human fetuses when using diagnostic ultrasound appears to be minimal if certain rules are followed, such as performing a scan when medically indicated, and observing the ALARA principle (using the lowest output power consistent with acquiring the necessary diagnostic information and keeping the exposure time as low as possible for accurate diagnosis).</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Color Doppler Ultrasound:&nbsp;</strong><strong>Principles</strong><strong>&nbsp; and<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span></strong><strong>Advantages</strong></p>
<p>Color ultrasound is a high-definition black and white B ultrasound plus<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span><strong><a title="color Doppler ultrasound" href="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/htm/color-ultrasound-machine/laptop-Color-Doppler-Ultrasound-Machine-MSLCU26.html" target="_blank" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/htm/color-ultrasound-machine/laptop-Color-Doppler-Ultrasound-Machine-MSLCU26.html"><span>color Doppler ultrasound</span></a></strong>. First of all, let's talk about ultrasonic frequency shift diagnostic &nbsp;method, which is D-ultra. This method applies Doppler effect principle. When the &nbsp;source and receiver (Probe and reflector) relatively move, the echo frequency change. &nbsp;This change in frequency is called the frequency shift, D ultra including pulse &nbsp;Doppler, continuous Doppler and color<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span><span>Doppler flow images.</span></p>
<p><span><img title="Color Doppler Ultrasound" alt="ultrasound scan machine, usg ultrasound, Color Doppler Ultrasound" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/ultrasound/MSLTU04-2_1.jpg" /></span></p>
<p>In general, color Doppler ultrasound uses autocorrelated technology for Doppler signal &nbsp;processing. using autocorrelated technology to obtain blood flow signal, then &nbsp;superimposed on the two-dimensional images by color-coded real-time. That is the &nbsp;formation of color Doppler ultrasound blood flow images. Thus, color Doppler ultrasound (color ultrasound) not only has the advantages of two-dimensional &nbsp;ultrasound image structure, &nbsp;but also provides a wealth of information on &nbsp;hemodynamics. The practical application of color Doppler ultrasound has been widely &nbsp;valued and welcomed. It is called "non-invasive angiography". Its main advantages are: &nbsp;</p>
<p>① can quickly and intuitively display the two-dimensional planar distribution of &nbsp;blood flow.</p>
<p>② can show the direction of blood flow.</p>
<p>③ help identifies the arteries &nbsp;and veins.</p>
<p>④ is conducive to the identification of vascular lesions and non-vascular &nbsp;lesions.</p>
<p>⑤ is conducive to understand the nature of blood flow.</p>
<p>⑥ can easily &nbsp;understand the timing and speed of blood flow.</p>
<p>⑦ can reliably find shunt and &nbsp;regurgitation.</p>
<p>⑧ quantitative analysis blood flow on the origin, width, length, area. &nbsp;</p>
<p>However, the relevant technology used in color ultrasound is pulse wave. When the &nbsp;velocity of the detection object is too high, the color flow will be wrong, and th &nbsp;quantitative analysis is obviously inferior to that of the spectrum. Nowadays, color &nbsp;Doppler ultrasound has the function of spectrum Doppler. So color Doppler ultrasound &nbsp;is a great helper for the doctors.</p>]]></description>

      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/How-to-Measure-and-Record-Vital-Signs-During-First-Aid/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Patient vital signs -- body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and respiration rate -- tell medical personnel a great deal about a patient. If you have to administer first aid, you can take vital signs and report them to medical personnel over the phone or when they arrive on the scene. This information can be very important in helping a medic, nurse or doctor diagnose and care for the patient.<br /> <br /> 1.Temperature<br /> Ask if the patient ate or drank something hot or cold, smoked, chewed gum or did any strenuous activity within the last 10 minutes. If the patient has done any of these things, wait to take the temperature for 10 minutes.<br /> <br /> 2.Take the patient's temperature.<br /> Place the thermometer under the tongue to take an oral temperature only if the patient is at least 5 years old, conscious, lucid, able to breathe through the nose, and doesn't have a facial injury that would make it difficult to hold the thermometer under the tongue.<br /> <br /> 3. Wait until the digital thermometer beeps to read the display. If you use a temperature strip, wait for the time specified in the instructions.<br /> <br /> 4. Write down the patient's temperature, where on the body it was taken, and the time. Normal temperature is somewhere around 98 degrees Fahrenheit (37 Celsius).<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/80/7f/b5/807fb5b3b5e8c5d135f9e9f44e18ddcc.jpg" /><br /> <br /> Pulse<br /> 1. Find the patient's pulse with your fingers. Don't use your thumb when finding a pulse, because you will feel your own pulse instead of the patient's pulse.<br /> <br /> 2. Count the number of beats that occur in 15 seconds. Multiply by 4 to get the heart rate. If the pulse is irregular, count for a full minute.<br /> <br /> 3. Write down the heart rate, any irregularities and the time the pulse was taken.<br /> <br /> Respiration Rate<br /> 1. Measure respiration without informing the patient, because knowing that you are measuring respiration may make the patient change his or her respiration rate.<br /> <br /> 2. Count the number of inhalations that occur in 15 seconds. Multiply by 4 to get the respiration rate.<br /> <br /> 3. Note whether the respiration is abnormal in any way, such as labored or raspy. Normal respiration is between 14 and 20 per minute.<br /> <br /> 4. Write down the respiration rate, whether it seems abnormal, and the time.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[How to Take Care of Mice]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/How-to-Take-Care-of-Mice/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Mice are great pets for people of all ages and, though high maintenance, are fun to watch and play with. They're friendlier than other small pets and are very clean. Read more about taking care of your new mouse friends below.<br /> <br /> 1. Get prepared. Before you bring your new pet home, it is important to get all the supplies you will need. Set up your cage and fill up the food/water bottle. When your new mice come home, they will need some time to adjust; being prepared beforehand makes the transition less stressful for you and the mouse.<br /> <br /> 2. Consider rescue. Purchasing from some of the larger pet shops means you run the risk of supporting rodent farms. Rescues often take in rodents and frequently have litters due to pet shops breeding tagar.<br /> <br /> 3. Get informed. Before you purchase a mouse, you should do some research into their care. Pet stores and personal websites are notorious for giving misinformation. The best resources for mouse care are the websites of responsible breeders.<br /> <br /> 4. Find a vet who works with pocket pets/exotic pets. Vet care is a necessity for any pet. Mice feel pain and suffer just as much as other, larger animals.<br /> <br /> 5. Decide if you want a single male or a trio of females. These are the best ratios, as female mice must be kept with friends and are easier to keep than males. Be sure that the choice you make fits with your life style.<br /> <br /> 6. Do not combine males and females. It is never safe to place a male and female together, even temporarily. Breeding might occur fast with mice and it is almost impossible to avoid pregnancy.<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/11/a2/c8/11a2c820a6b476dc7e3a81d9ad5cc54e.jpg" /><br /> <br /> 7. Choose a type of cage. The best cages for mice are wired cages with bar-spacing of less than 1cm.<br /> <br /> 8. Choose the right size of cage. Floor space matters more than head room when purchasing a cage.<br /> <br /> 9. Give them something to walk on. Bedding is a must. Never use pine or cedar, as these woods can harm a mouse's respiratory system and make it hard for them to breathe.<br /> <br /> 10. Give them something to nest in. Always provide your mice with a soft material that they can shred to build up their nest. Suitable materials include tissue paper (never use anything with added lotion), toilet paper, paper towels, and shredded fleece.<br /> <br /> 11. Avoid introducing parasites and other nasties. Bedding should be either frozen or baked before use. This eliminates any parasites.<br /> <br /> 12. Buy a water bottle and fill it often. It's best to use more than one water bottle attached to the side of the cage in case one bottle stops working, as mice can dehydrate extremely quickly.<br /> <br /> 13. Purchase food. Food should be available to mice at all times. Always provide fresh food daily, as their metabolisms are very high. Pre-made mixes designed for mice and rats contain too much protein for most pet shop mice.<br /> <br /> 14. Purchase snacks/supplements. Mouse snacks can be a variety of things. Only give treats in moderation (one or two treats from the list below throughout the week) and introduce new treats slowly.<br /> <br /> 15. Purchase or make toys. Mice are very curious creatures and require a lot of stimulation to be happy. Buy or create a diverse set of toys before you purchase your mouse.<br /> <br /> 16. Buy or create a nesting box. You mice should have a covered area available to them at all times. This provides a safe comfortable area for your pet to build a nest. Most mice do not like to sleep out in the open.<br /> <br /> 17. Clean the cage. Contrary to popular belief, mice are very clean animals. As their owner, you can keep them happy by completely cleaning their home once a week and spot cleaning at mid week. While you clean, you should have a temporary cage available for your mice.<br /> <br /> 18. Watch out for odor build-up. Male mice tend to have a stronger odor than females.<br /> <br /> 19. Provide exercise. Have a wheel available to your mice at all times. Never use a wheel with metal bars on the runner. Mice can have tails cut off or kinked by spokes.<br /> <br /> 20. Give your mice time to adjust. When you bring your new pet home, it is advised to give them three to four days in their cage alone to adjust to the new surroundings.<br /> <br /> 21. Start of on the right foot. After a few days you may begin bonding with your mouse. The first step is to create trust. From the mouse&rsquo;s perspective, you are a very large and unfamiliar predator. It is important to be patient and calm when training your mouse.<br /> <br /> 22. Set a schedule. Mice respond very well to schedules, and using one makes training much easier.<br /> <br /> 23. Create a healthy and positive relationship. Once the mouse is familiar with your scent (this may take a day or a week depending on if they were purchased from a pet shop or a breeder), they will become braver. At this point a mouse may climb onto your hand.<br /> <br /> 24. Be patient. Do not expect the mouse to feel comfortable with you the first day you begin training.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>"Kangaroo mother care" (KMC),a neonatal intervention that involves prolonged skin-to-skin contact,exclusive breastfeeding,and early discharge from a health facility,cut infant mortality rates among lower birth weight newborns,a meta-analysis found.<br /> <br /> Of the 124 studies included,15 that examined lower birth weight newborns (&lt;2,000 g or <br /> Mortality was also 41% lower in the seven studies that reported mortality at 3,6,and 12 months with KMC groups versus controls (95% CI,0.43-0.82,I2=0),they wrote in Pediatrics.<br /> <br /> Co-author Grace J.Chan,MD,PhD,of Boston Children's Hospital,told MedPage Today that the group decided to conduct this meta-analysis to provide an evidence base for users,including providers and policy-makers,to enhance implementation of KMC in various settings to improve neonatal survival and health.<br /> <br /> "This is a low-cost intervention that can have a large impact on neonatal health,but part of the challenge in incorporating KMC into routine neonatal care is making healthcare providers and parents aware of its benefits,as well as training them in proper implementation since many are not familiar with this practice,or may be hesitant to implement it in high-risk infants," she wrote in an email.<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/c1/94/8d/c1948d207cfb445241d765582fe976f2.jpg" width="550" /><br /> <br /> In addition to lower mortality rates,KMC also decreased the frequency of infant morbidities.KMC was associated with a 47% reduced risk of sepsis among lower birth weight infants (&lt;2,250 g) in 12 studies (95% CI 0.34-0.83,I2=25%).The nine studies examining incidence of hypothermia found the KMC group of infants had a 78% lower risk of developing the condition (95% CI 0.12-0.41,I2=71%).<br /> Chan said that the new World Health Organization (WHO) preterm guidelines include KMC in stabilized babies weighing less than 2 kg,but that the level of KMC implementation remains low around the world.<br /> <br /> "One of the main challenges is how to implement KMC in different settings,from NICUs in the U.S.to health facilities in developing countries," she said."In each type of setting,barriers to implementation need to be understood and addressed to optimize KMC use."<br /> Two studies that examined hypoglycemia and hospital readmission found that KMC had a protective effect on infants (RR 0.12,95% CI 0.05-0.32,I2=0%).Two studies found that KMC was associated with a 58% reduction in hospital readmission compared to controls (95% CI 0.23-0.76,I2=0%).<br /> <br /> Not surprisingly,among the 13 studies examining exclusive breastfeeding,KMC was linked to a 50% increase in the likelihood of breastfeeding at hospital discharge or 40 to 41 weeks postmenstrual age,albeit with substantial heterogeneity (95% CI 1.26-1.78,I2=93%).<br /> <br /> The meta-analysis examined studies from a variety of geographic locations,including the U.S.,South America,the Caribbean,Southeast Asia,and Africa.Chan said one of the more surprising findings was that,despite the slight variations in KMC around the world,the intervention showed neonatal benefits consistently across different countries and settings.<br /> <br /> There were 124 studies included,89% of which were published between 2000 to 2014.Skin-to-skin contact was the primary component of KMC,as 71 studies (68%) defined KMC as skin-to-skin contact only.The majority of studies were conducted on preterm infants <br /> The inability to examine the dose-response relationship between the duration of skin-to-skin contact and neonatal outcomes was a limitation,because there were a small number of studies with duration of 4 to 21 hours per day.<br /> Chan said that efficacy trials are needed to understand when to initiate KMC (either immediately after birth or once the infant has been stabilized) and what is the effective minimal duration of the intervention for an infant.<br /> <br /> "Additional studies on KMC among full-term and normal birth weight infants,in newborns after cesarean section,and on the effectiveness of skin-to-skin contact provided by caregivers other than the mother would all be helpful understanding how different infant populations may benefit from this intervention," she stated.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[How to Treat Feline Dental Disease]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/How-to-Treat-Feline-Dental-Disease/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Dental disease is extremely common in cats, with some experts estimating that eighty five percent of cats over the age of three have some form of dental disease. The problem tends to get worse with age, as plaque turns to tartar, tartar causes gum recession, teeth become loose, and some are damaged or fall out. Thus, the treatment of dental disease varies depending on the seriousness of the problem and the cooperativeness of the patient.<br /> <br /> Treating Dental Disease<br /> 1. Remove plaque. This is the earliest stage of dental disease and is removed by daily brushing. In addition, you can feed your cat a special dental care diet to help remove plaque.<br /> <br /> 2. Clean off tartar. Once the hard deposit that is tartar has formed, it can only be removed by mechanical cleaning. This involves descaling with an ultrasonic dental descaling machine.<br /> <br /> 3. Treat gingivitis. Inflammation of the gums, also known as gingivitis, is treated by a combination of cleaning the mouth and antibiotics. Cleaning the mouth by ultrasonic descaling removes the bacteria-rich tartar that is pressing on the gum. If infection is present, the vet may also prescribe antibiotics in order to kill the bacteria causing the infection.<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/6a/37/a7/6a37a7a17b7fee14aca523756822ec9e.jpg" /><br /> <br /> 4. Fix loose or damaged teeth. Wobbly teeth need to be extracted under anesthetic. While veterinary dental specialists do exist, it is rare to attempt to repair a damaged tooth. This means that extraction is the most practical solution.<br /> <br /> 5. Treat tooth root infections with antibiotics and extraction. These infections may be initially brought under control with a course of antibiotics. However, unless the tartar or inciting cause of the infection is removed the problem is likely to recur and so antibiotics alone are a temporary solution and extraction of the tooth with the infected root is required.<br /> <br /> Preventing Dental Disease<br /> 1. Take your cat in for a yearly checkup. In order to keep your cat's teeth healthy, it's important to take it in for an annual exam. Your veterinarian will inspect your cat's teeth and let you know about any problems it is experiencing.<br /> <br /> 2. Look for the signs of dental disease. Inspect your cat's teeth for tartar. Over time, calcium is deposited in the plaque which hardens into tartar or calculus. This is visible as a hard cream or yellow colored deposit on the tooth enamel, typically found alongside the gumline.<br /> <br /> 3. Focus on home care. In an ideal world, prevention is better than a cure. In order to prevent dental disease, your cat's teeth need to be brushed and cleaned regularly.<br /> <br /> 4. Start tooth care early. Ideally, young kittens would be taught from a young age to tolerate having their teeth brushed. This is done by gradually acclimating them to having their mouth handled and lips raised. Then a pet toothbrush is introduced and touched briefly to the teeth. The kitten is then praised. Dampen the toothbrush with water and then brush briefly, praising the cat for cooperative behavior. Over time, you can build up to brushing the entire mouth.<br /> <br /> 5. Feed your cat dry food. Diet also plays a part in preventing dental disease. Wet or canned food tends to stick to the teeth and promote plaque formation, so dental disease occurs more quickly. Dry kibble is slightly better in that it has an abrasive action and it takes longer for tartar to develop.<br /> <br /> 6. Learn about dental disease. This will help you identify if your cat has a problem developing. Dental disease has a variety of causes, but in general, it is a progressive condition that starts with plaque. Plaque is the sticky residue that coats teeth, which is made up of food debris, saliva, bacteria, and products secreted by bacteria. Over time, the plaque turns into tartar.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[C. Diff Risk for Inpatients Rises When Prior Bed Occupant Used Antibiotics]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/C-Diff-Risk-for-Inpatients-Rises/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hospital patients who used the same beds as previous patients administered antibiotics had a 22% relative increase in risk for contracting Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), according to a new study.<br /> <br /> Risk of contracting CDI for these "second-user" patients was still less than 1%, but Daniel E. Freedberg, MD, MS, of Columbia University Medical Center in New York City, and colleagues found a statistically significant increase in CDI rates relative to cases in which the prior bed occupant did not receive antibiotics.<br /> <br /> "These data support the hypothesis that antibiotics given to one patient may alter the local microenvironment to influence a different patient's risk for CDI," Freedberg and colleagues wrote online in JAMA Internal Medicine. "Our results show that antibiotics can potentially cause harm to patients who do not themselves receive the antibiotics, and thus emphasize the value of antibiotic stewardship."<br /> <br /> Among the 100,615 pairs of patients under study, 576 (0.57%) of the secondary patients developed CDI within 2 to 14 days after being assigned to the hospital bed (median 6.4 days). This relationship also showed statistical significance after adjusting for factors known to influence CDI risk, including receipt of antibiotics by the second patient (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.22; 95% CI, 1.02-1.45).<br /> <br /> When first-round patients received antibiotics, new patients' cumulative risk of contracting CDI infection was 0.72% -- versus 0.43% when first-round patients did not receive antibiotics.<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/fd/72/6e/fd726e376669069adef9ce8c5f8275e9.jpg" width="550" /><br /> <br /> When the researchers excluded the 1,497 patient pairs featuring first-round patients who developed CDI, the relationship remained significant (aHR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.01-1.43).<br /> <br /> In addition, sensitivity analyses revealed a significant CDI-antibiotic connection even when the researchers excluded first-user patients who developed CDI themselves.<br /> <br /> The researchers indicated that no factors besides prior-occupant antibiotic use were associated with an increased risk for CDI.<br /> <br /> Freedberg's team monitored patients over 5 years across four hospitals in New York City, via a retrospective cohort study of adult patients. Excluded were patients who had recent CDI, who developed CDI within 48 hours of admission, and who had inadequate follow-up time -- or if the first-user patient was in the bed for less than 24 hours.<br /> <br /> The researchers defined incident CDI as a positive result from a stool polymerase chain reaction test for the C. difficile toxin B gene, followed by treatment for CDI.<br /> <br /> "These data imply that patient-to-patient transmission of C. difficile or other bacteria that mediate susceptibility to CDI takes place in the non-outbreak setting and in the face of a multifaceted effort seeking to prevent healthcare-associated CDI," the authors concluded.<br /> <br /> CDI is the most common cause of diarrhea in the hospital and responsible for about 27,000 deaths annually in the U.S., according to a JAMA news release. Exposure is common in hospitals because spores can persist there for months.<br /> <br /> Regarding consideration for future research, the authors wrote: "Antibiotics may affect the gastrointestinal microbiome more globally to decrease bacterial species that are protective against C. difficile or to increase bacterial species that facilitate C. difficile. Subsequent patient-to-patient transmission of these bacterial species may then drive risk for CDI in future patients. The specific mechanisms underlying the herd effects of antibiotics may be a fruitful area for future research."<br /> <br /> Study limitations included the observational nature of the study, that it was confined to a single health care system, conducted in a non-outbreak setting, and had a small observed effect size.<br /> <br /> Regarding the effect size, Freedberg and colleagues wrote: "Although this translates into a modest absolute risk associated with antibiotics in the prior bed occupant, it remains important because use of antibiotics in the hospital is so common."<br /> <br /> They noted previous research indicating that antibiotic use is a known risk factor for CDI -- not only for the individual patient, but also "at the level of the hospital ward, the level of the institution, and the regional level."</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Plant-Based Estrogen Effects Still Not Understood]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Plant-Based-Estrogen-Effects-Still-Not-Understood/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Much more research needs to be done before natural alternatives to estrogen can be conclusively labeled as either harmful or beneficial for certain conditions and organ systems, a new literature review finds.<br /> <br /> The study, published in the British Journal of Pharmacology, focused specifically on phytoestrogens, plant-based estrogen alternatives commonly found in soy, soy products, and other legumes. Several factors may play a part in determining whether phytoestrogens can definitively affect health either way -- and those factors are simply not understood well enough at the moment.<br /> <br /> "This [study] implies that a definite conclusion on the health effects of phytoestrogens, positive or negative, cannot be made," the lead study author, Ivonne Rietjens, PhD, professor in toxicology at Wageningen University in The Netherlands, said in a statement. "It may be that the question of whether phytoestrogens are beneficial or harmful has different answers dependent on individuals' age, health status, and even the presence or absence of specific gut bacteria."<br /> <br /> The study, a systematic overview of current research, examined the effect of phytoestrogens on menopausal symptoms, cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes, breast cancer, other forms of cancer, thyroid function, and brain function. In no area did researchers find that the potential benefits clearly outweighed the risks or were supported by enough evidence to justify wider clinical implementation.<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/3d/69/c6/3d69c6adef0607c43bd07e42e2818460.jpg" width="550" /><br /> <br /> "Reported benefits include a lowered risk of menopausal symptoms, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, other forms of cancer including prostate cancer, bowel cancer, uterine cancer, and other cancers, and brain function disorders," Rietjens and colleagues wrote.<br /> <br /> "On the other hand, phytoestrogens are also considered endocrine disruptors, indicating that they have the potential to cause adverse health effects such as infertility and increased risks on cancer of estrogen-sensitive organs. ... Consequently, the question of whether phytoestrogens are beneficial or harmful to human health remains of importance. The present overview reveals that the answer is rather complex."<br /> <br /> That complexity is perhaps best encapsulated in the research review regarding plant-based estrogen's effects on menopausal women -- one of the most widely touted and discussed of phytoestrogens' many potential applications.<br /> <br /> Rietjens and colleagues found conflicting and inconclusive studies regarding whether phytoestrogens can reduce the frequency or severity of hot flashes. The same held true when covering the role of these estrogen alternatives in changes in bone mineral density. The investigators pointed out that the European Food Safety Authority evaluated 14 long-term intervention studies on the effects of soy isoflavones on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women, and of those, only two reported an effect on bone mineral density at doses of 54 mg/day. The remaining 12 studies, testing phytoestrogen doses of up to 200 mg/day, showed no effects of soy isoflavones on bone mineral density or markers of bone formation or resorption.<br /> <br /> Similarly inconclusive findings appeared in the case of cardiovascular health, where Rietjens and colleagues found that "the current evidence [for phytoestrogens] appears poor compared to that available for estrogens."<br /> <br /> At the same time, there are areas where phytoestrogens do show promise, the team emphasized. For example, in breast cancer, a 2013 analysis of 40 randomized controlled trials, 11 uncontrolled trials, and 80 observational studies led to the conclusion that soy consumption may be associated with reduced risk of breast cancer incidence, recurrence, and mortality.<br /> <br /> Even in this case, however, the authors indicated that there is not enough evidence to confirm the safety of using soy isoflavones in doses that are high enough (generally &gt;100 mg/day) to obtain the anti-cancer benefits.<br /> <br /> Conversely, some of the more widely discussed harmful effects of phytoestrogens also remain unproven. Rietjens and colleagues highlighted a 1997 study in which the soy isoflavones daidzein and genistein were found to inhibit thyroid peroxidase, but no other adverse effects on thyroid functions had been observed.<br /> <br /> Human trials on soy isoflavones and thyroid function are entirely inconclusive, Rietjens and colleagues found.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[How to Tell if a Dog Is Pregnant]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/How-to-Tell-if-a-Dog-Is-Pregnant/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>It can be difficult to tell whether a dog is pregnant until the last few weeks of her nine-week gestation, when her belly's increase in size is hard to miss. The best way to find out is by taking her to a vet, but being aware of physical and behavioral changes that may take place is also useful. Pregnant dogs show some signs of being pregnant in the early, middle, and late stages of pregnancy.<br /> <br /> Watching for Physical Changes<br /> 1. Watch for nipple color change. One of the earliest hints that a dog might be pregnant is if she &ldquo;pinks up.&rdquo; This refers to a change in her nipples which makes them appear a rosier color than normal, slightly swollen and more prominent. This sign can develop 2 - 3 weeks after conception.<br /> <br /> 2. Be aware of body changes. A pregnant dog&rsquo;s body shape doesn't change until the second half of pregnancy. Between about 4 - 5 weeks her waist begins to thicken and her tummy fills out.<br /> <br /> 3. Do not increase food ration prematurely. A pregnant dog should be given increased food in the final third of pregnancy, but many owners tend to increase their dog's food ration too early. The additional calories lead to fat being laid down in the abdomen, which is often mistaken for a sign of pregnancy. It is not possible for the layman to discern whether her enlarged abdomen is due to fetuses taking up room, or fat.<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/c8/18/24/c818243c66f3ced20c2e46e5067dca00.jpg" /><br /> <br /> 4. Monitor continuing body changes. In the final third (weeks 6-9) of pregnancy, the dog&rsquo;s belly becomes rounded and distended. Her mammary glands start to develop and become more obviously swollen, as they get ready to produce milk.<br /> <br /> 5. Look and feel for puppy movement. In the final third of gestation, you may be able to see the dog&rsquo;s flanks moving as the puppies wriggle around in her womb. If you place your palm flat against her side where you see the rippling, you might be able to feel movement.<br /> <br /> Noticing Behavioral Changes<br /> 1. Do not expect drastic changes. All dogs react individually to pregnancy. Some may be quieter and more tired early on, but a dog who is unwell may also be quiet, so this sign is an unreliable predictor of pregnancy. The average female dog behaves largely the same as usual until the last third of the gestation.<br /> <br /> 2. Expect appetite changes. Towards the end of pregnancy, the dog&rsquo;s will womb grow larger and take up more space in her belly. She won't be able to accommodate large meals, so she'll start wanting to snack, eating a little at a time more frequently.<br /> <br /> 3. Watch for nesting. When it is nearly time for her to deliver the pups, the dog may start to nest.<br /> <br /> Getting a Professional Diagnosis<br /> 1. Visit a veterinarian. If you suspect that your dog is pregnant, it is worthwhile to visit the vet to confirm your suspicion. There are various methods a vet can use to definitively confirm pregnancy.<br /> <br /> 2. Get a physical examination. The vet will examine the dog and pay special attention to gently feeling her tummy.<br /> <br /> 3. Check for heartbeats. In late pregnancy (week 6 onwards), the vet can sometimes hear fetal heartbeats by holding a stethoscope to the dog&rsquo;s belly.<br /> <br /> 4. Perform a blood test. The gold standard to test for pregnancy is for your vet to run a blood test that looks for the presence of a pregnancy hormone called Relaxin.<br /> <br /> 5. Have an ultrasound. The method that can confirm pregnancy the earliest is an ultrasound.<br /> <br /> 6. Ask about getting an x-ray. With the widespread use of ultrasound, the need for x-rays in pregnancy has decreased.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Infants Should Share Room, Not Bed, With Parents]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Infants-Should-Share-Room-Not-Bed-With-Parents/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Infants should be placed on a firm sleep surface in their parents' room (but separate from their bed), to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), the American Academy of Pediatrics said in a new policy statement.<br /> <br /> Ideally, infants should sleep in their parents' room for the first six months to a year of life, in a crib, bassinet, portable crib or "play yard" approved by the Consumer Safety Product Commission, according to the AAP Task Force on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.<br /> <br /> This safe infant sleep surface should include only <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">a fitted sheet</span>, with no soft or loose bedding, which can increase the risk of sudden infant death, task force members wrote in Pediatrics.</p>
<p>Other "A-level" recommendations for safe infant sleep included always placing the infant to sleep or nap on their backs through 1 year of age and offering a pacifier at naptime and bedtime.<br /> An independent clinician contacted by MedPage Today welcomed the new guideline.<br /> <br /> "This updated policy fills in the gaps in previous policy guidance and provides clinicians and other stakeholders with evidence-based information and tools to educate, guide and support families and communities in promoting safe sleep practices for young infants," said Deborah Campbell, MD, of Montefiore Medical Center in New York City in an email. "I think these recommendations are more expansive, detailed and helpful to all the stakeholders involved in caring for or supporting the care of the young infant and fostering safe sleep and infant death prevention from SUID/SIDS."<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/0a/79/06/0a7906f3a259e6862795c87a6d398bc1.jpg" width="550" /><br /> <br /> The National Institutes of Health also issued a statement of support for these new recommendations, and urged everyone from healthcare providers to parents to "learn about the updated recommendations for safe infant sleep."<br /> <br /> As in previous guidance, the updated AAP guidance warned against bed-sharing. It cited more evidence from case-control studies and case series where certain risk factors have increased the risk of SIDS and other unintentional infant injury or death while bed-sharing, including:<br /> Infant younger than 4 months old<br /> Born preterm or with low birth weight<br /> If parent is current smoker or mother smoked during pregnancy<br /> <br /> However, the authors took no position on infant sleep surfaces that attach to the side of a parent's bed, citing "insufficient evidence."<br /> <br /> "The task force cannot make a recommendation for or against the use of either bedside sleepers or in-bed sleepers, because there have been no studies examining the association between these products and SIDS or unintentional injury and death, including suffocation," they wrote.<br /> <br /> The authors acknowledged the "extraordinarily high risk" of infant death from suffocation if a parent falls asleep with an infant on a sofa or armchair, and that bringing an infant into bed may be "less dangerous." But because of the still-significant risks associated with bringing an infant into a parent's bed for any reason, the guideline stressed that once infants are fed or comforted, they should be returned to their own safe sleep surface.<br /> <br /> "It is important to note that a large percentage of infants who die from SIDS are found with their head covered by bedding," they wrote. "Therefore, no pillows, sheets, blankets or any other items that could obstruct infant breathing or cause overheating should be in the bed."<br /> <br /> Campbell said she was pleased that that the policy specifically addressed a recent study about infant sleep locations and how parents do not follow safe sleep guidelines, and that it clarifies some of that sleep guidance with supporting evidence.<br /> <br /> "This is a part of anticipatory guidance that is critical for all pediatric primary care providers to be aware of and proactively discuss with parents: acknowledging the reality of the exhausted new parent and 'needy' (appropriately so) young infant and nighttime sleep practices -- and what parents can do to make this as safe a time as possible," she said.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Imprecise Medicine? Genetic Tests Lead to Misdiagnosis]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Genetic-Tests-Lead-to-Misdiagnosis/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Precision medicine offers the promise of an accurate assessment of individual risk for serious conditions like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).<br /> <br /> But the utility of genetic tests may be limited by the lack of diversity of people included in the underlying genetic databases used to assess risk, according to "a cautionary tale of broad relevance to genetic diagnosis" published in the New England Journal of Medicine. (A link to the study is expected to be active after 5:00 pm EDT Wednesday.)<br /> <br /> Harvard researchers first identified five genetic variants that had been previously linked to HCM. But the studies that established these links were small and did not include a substantial number of blacks in the control groups. The variants would not have been linked to HCM, they wrote, if the database had contained more genetic information from black Americans, because these variants occurred much more frequently in the black American population (ranging from 2.9% to 27%) than in the white population (ranging from 0.02% to 2.9%). The higher occurrence of the variants in the black population is an indication that the variants were benign and not associated with HCM.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.medicalequipment-msl.com/htm/cheap-medical-instruments/"><img alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/2b/db/31/2bdb31a74f55156501f5f682bd5b95ee.jpg" width="550" /></a><br /> <br /> The researchers then examined records from a single laboratory and found seven individuals -- five black Americans and two of unspecified ancestry -- whose "benign variants" had been "misclassified as pathogenic in genetic reports." The consequences of the misdiagnoses almost certainly had consequences for many people beyond the seven individuals, because these "misclassifications invalidate risk assessments undertaken in relatives, requiring a chain of amended reports and management plans."<br /> <br /> The findings, the authors wrote, "show how health disparities may arise from genomic misdiagnosis." These disparities, though, are not related to access to care or other <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">often discussed issues</span> but "to the historical dearth of control populations that include persons of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds."<br /> <br /> The authors suggested the problem uncovered by the study is unlikely to be limited to HCM. "We believe that what we're seeing in the case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may be the tip of the iceberg of a larger problem that transcends a single genetic disease," said the first author of the study, Arjun Manrai, PhD, of Harvard, in a press release.<br /> <br /> "Our study powerfully illustrates the importance of racial and ethnic diversity in research," said senior investigator Issac (Zak) Kohane, MD, PhD, also of Harvard. "Racial and ethnic inclusiveness improves the validity and accuracy of clinical trials and, in doing so, can better guide clinical decision-making and choice of optimal therapy. This is the essence of precision medicine."<br /> <br /> A frequent critic of precision medicine, Michael Joyner, MD, of the Mayo Clinic, commented: "I think even precision medicine skeptics (like me) see the potential value of DNA variant testing in rare diseases like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. However, the big story in the last 5 to 10 years has been the emergence of many potential causal variants (versus the hypothesized few) and the genotype-positive, phenotype-negative patient. The other big story is that many or even most 'normal' people have DNA variants that have been associated with disease. So, many variants with variable penetrance."<br /> <br /> This new study, said Joyner, points to an additional limitation of precision medicine that has not been generally appreciated. The study "shows the problem is even more challenging when genetic information about DNA risk variants is applied to patients from different ethnic and racial groups."<br /> <br /> "Addressing it will require more complete data from highly diverse patient groups, better data sharing, and integration of very granular decision support tools into electronic health records. Given the challenges and controversies about data sharing and worries about the underperformance of electronic health records, the chances of a genomic Tower of Babel emerging for many patients is a real possibility. That such a Tower of Babel might make the problems of health disparities worse and not better is another concern."<br /> <br /> Joyner concluded, "All of this makes the once-hoped-for and unambiguous 'biological orthopedic surgery' paradigm stemming from genotype = phenotype = treatment unlikely for most patients and most conditions."<br /> <br /> Sekar Kathiresan, MD, of the Broad Institute, said the paper shows that "interpretation of DNA sequence variants for clinical meaning evolves as our knowledge of either genotype and/or phenotype improves."<br /> <br /> He pointed out that the problems reflected in the new paper are now being addressed by ongoing research. "Our knowledge of genotype has improved dramatically in past few years as the number and ethnic diversity of people have improved. The paper highlights a problem from a few years ago when the number/ethnic diversity of sequenced individuals was limited."<br /> <br /> Kathiresan also pointed out that "to help with the problem identified in the NEJM paper, we at Broad have built a very diverse, large frequency database for mutations involving 60,000 humans."<br /> <br /> That ExAC (Exome Aggregation Consortium) database was also mentioned by the authors of the NEJM paper as a resource for new studies to be "well-powered for ruling out pathogenicity even for rarer variation."</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Many mothers fear they are not producing enough breast milk to satisfy their baby. In most cases, the fear is based on false alarms, such as shorter nursing times or natural appetite growth. These are natural scenarios many mothers experience when breastfeeding. If your baby, however, is not gaining weight, or worse, if he's losing weight, then increasing breast milk production can help.<br /> <br /> Increasing Production Pre-Breastfeeding<br /> 1. Consume a minimum of 1,800 calories a day and drink at least 6 glasses of fluids while you are lactating.<br /> <br /> 2. Consult your doctor about using prescription or herbal supplements to increase breast milk.<br /> <br /> 3. Supplement feedings with pumping.<br /> <br /> 4. Limit the use of pacifiers and bottles while you're trying to make more breast milk.<br /> <br /> <img alt="Increase Breast Milk Production" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/fa/8d/70/fa8d709d73f21d653c8c5c802a052798.jpg" /><br /> <br /> Increasing Production During Breastfeeding<br /> 1. Relax. Loads of stress can hurt your ability to produce milk. Try to relax before pumping or breastfeeding by playing soothing music, looking at pictures that produce happiness, or just having a moment with the love of your life.<br /> <br /> 2. Allow your baby to nurse frequently for as long as he wants. The more often your breasts are stimulated, the more milk your body makes.<br /> <br /> 3. Practice undressing your baby to stimulate skin-to-skin contact during breast feeding.<br /> <br /> 4. Try sling feeding. Wearing a sling and keeping your baby close to the ultimate food supply should encourage him to feast more frequently. Some babies tend to feed more when on the move.<br /> <br /> 5. Offer your baby both breasts at every feeding to let your body know to make more breast milk.<br /> <br /> 6. Try taking a nursing "vacation."For a day or two, take your baby to bed with you and do nothing but nurse when the urge hits your baby.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[How to Use a Home Pregnancy Test]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/How-to-Use-a-Home-Pregnancy-Test/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Home pregnancy tests work by detecting the presence of the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in a woman's urine. Known as the pregnancy hormone, hCG is only found in pregnant women. Home pregnancy tests are available at most drug stores and online. Read on for a step-by-step guide to using home pregnancy tests.<br /> <br /> Before Taking the Test<br /> 1. Purchase a home pregnancy test. There are many different brands of home pregnancy tests on the market, but it doesn't really matter which you choose.<br /> <br /> 2. Figure out when to take the test. Most experts advise that you should wait at least one day after your missed period before taking a home pregnancy test, though waiting a week is considered best.<br /> <br /> 3. Read the instructions carefully. Although most home urine tests are pretty much the same, it is important to follow manufacturers' instructions.<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/31/ef/89/31ef89c046220c2d8181f5913c324f93.jpg" /><br /> <br /> 4. Prepare yourself. Taking a home pregnancy can be a nerve-wracking experience, particularly when you're anxiously hoping for one result or the other.<br /> <br /> Taking the Test<br /> 1. Ready, set, go! Sit on the toilet and urinate either on the testing stick or into the small plastic cup provided, depending on the type of test. You should try to use a midstream sample, which means you should pee a little first before you collect any urine in the cup or insert the stick.<br /> <br /> 2. Use the dropper to place a small amount of urine onto the test stick.<br /> <br /> 3. Wait the stated amount of time. Place the testing stick on a clean, level surface with the result window facing up.<br /> <br /> 4. Check the results. Once the amount of time stated in the instructions has passed, check the test stick for results.</p>]]></description>

      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Zika-Infants-May-Have-Constellation-of-Brain-Abnormalities/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Brain imaging of infants with confirmed or presumed congenital Zika virus infection showed both a reduction in brain volume, as well as abnormal development in certain areas of the brain, a small retrospective analysis of Brazilian infants found.<br /> <br /> In addition to more publicized abnormalities, such as microcephaly and intracranial calcifications, most infants had prenatal or postnatal evidence of ventriculomegaly (expansion of the lateral ventricles of the brain) and abnormal cortical development, reported Patricia Soares de Oliveira-Szejnfeld, MD, of Federal University of S?o Paulo in Brazil, and colleagues.<br /> <br /> The authors published their findings in a special report in Radiology.<br /> Congenital abnormalities, including <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">neurological abnormalities</span>, have been linked with classic TORCH infections, but anomalies associated with congenital Zika virus infection in this small sample appeared to be much more severe. Not surprisingly, all but one of these infants had evidence of microcephaly -- with head circumferences below the fifth percentile at least once during the second trimester. However, normal head circumference was misleading in several cases, as ventriculomegaly may have given the appearance of a normal head size.<br /> <br /> But the researchers argued that "microcephaly" is a non-specific term that merely refers to head circumference smaller than normal for gestational age. They sought to identify more specific neurologic abnormalities linked with congenital Zika virus infection, which would be visible via diagnostic imaging.<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/11/b9/bf/11b9bf70dcd9cd1163a3394f9d161ced.jpg" width="550" /><br /> <br /> Four radiologists examined images from two small cohorts: one with 17 infants whose mothers had confirmed Zika virus infection via RT-PCR or serologic testing, and a second cohort comprised of 28 infants with intracranial calcifications consistent with Zika virus infection. Overall, there were 42 postnatal CT scans, 12 fetal MRI examinations and 11 postnatal MRI examinations from the Instituto de Pesquisa in Campina Grande State Paraiba in northeastern Brazil.<br /> <br /> "Microcephaly is only one of the severe radiologic features," said co-author Fernanda Tovar-Moll, MD, of Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, in a statement. "Imaging is essential for identifying the presence and the severity of the structural changes induced by the infection, especially in the central nervous system."<br /> <br /> All examined neonatal images noted a reduction in brain volume, and ventriculomegaly was observed in 94%-96% of infants with confirmed or probable Zika virus infection. There were also cortical migration abnormalities in nearly all of these infants, potentially indicating structurally abnormal or missing areas of the cerebral cortex.<br /> <br /> In addition, abnormalities of the corpus callosum (the band of nerve fibers joining both hemispheres of the brain) were seen in more than three-quarters of infants with confirmed or presumed Zika virus infection.<br /> <br /> "The severity of the cortical malformation and associated tissue changes, and the localization of the calcifications at the grey-white matter junction were the most surprising findings in our research," said Tovar-Moll.<br /> <br /> Nearly all (88%-100%) of both cohorts had intracranial calcifications at the gray matter-white matter junction of the brain. Notably, calcifications on the basal ganglia (which helps control motor function) and/or in the thalamus (which helps regulate sensory and motor signals) were seen in two-thirds of infants. The authors noted that the gray matter-white matter junction is "an area not classically or commonly targeted in other congenital infections," and may suggest a vascular component to congenital Zika infection.<br /> <br /> Although up to 80% of Zika infections can be asymptomatic, around three-fourths of women in both cohorts presented with a rash during their first trimester of pregnancy.<br /> <br /> "This correlates well with the finding of severe cerebral dysmorphisms associated with infection during a time of rapid brain development," they wrote, adding that the CDC estimates the risk of microcephaly at 1%-13% after maternal infection with Zika virus in the first trimester.<br /> <br /> Limitations to this research include that it was a convenience sample of imaging findings, which was taken from a referral center for high-risk pregnancy and may not be generalizable. The authors also acknowledge that microcephaly may be due to infections other than Zika virus, which had yet to be diagnosed.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[How to Care for a Pregnant Dog]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/How-to-Care-for-a-Pregnant-Dog/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Properly caring for a pregnant dog is essential to a successful breeding process. Thorough care throughout gestation, which can be from 55 to 72 days, as well as proper preparation for delivery are key. Before your dog delivers her pups, she needs a nice, clean, and quiet atmosphere, a proper diet and exercise routine, and proper veterinary care. In no time, you'll be all set up for delivering and raising brand new pups!<br /> <br /> Preparing to Breed a Dog<br /> 1. Ensure that your dog is a good breeding candidate. Many canine diseases can pass from a mother dog to her puppies.<br /> <br /> 2. Feed your dog a high-quality dog food that has passed the American Association of Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) feeding tests.<br /> <br /> 3. Know the facts before breeding. Although puppies are very cute, they also require a lot of time, attention, and clean-up.<br /> <br /> 4. Consider adopting a shelter dog instead of breeding.<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/37/89/fa/3789fa2b893816188b7063a43c55e74b.jpg" /><br /> <br /> Providing Health Care For a Pregnant Dog<br /> 1. Get your dog proper prenatal care. Your dog should be vaccinated before she gets pregnant. This will protect your dog and your dog&rsquo;s puppies.<br /> <br /> 2. See your veterinarian if you believe that your dog may be pregnant. Your veterinarian can help you verify the pregnancy, determine the due date, discuss any medication changes, and even estimate the number of expected puppies.<br /> <br /> 3. Talk to your veterinarian about ALL medications and treatments that you give your dog.<br /> <br /> 4. Make sure you know where the nearest Vet Emergency hospital is located. This should be a 24 hr clinic, not your regular vet office.<br /> <br /> Feeding a Pregnant Dog<br /> 1. Check the label on the food you feed your dog.<br /> <br /> 2. Feed a normal amount of high-quality commercial dog food for the first 4 weeks of pregnancy.<br /> <br /> 3. Switch to a high-quality puppy food during the 5th or 6th week of pregnancy.<br /> <br /> 4. Increase the amount that you feed your dog by another 25% for the end of her pregnancy, during the 8th and 9th week.<br /> <br /> 5. Do not supplement your dog&rsquo;s food with vitamins, minerals, or meats unless directed by your veterinarian.<br /> <br /> Exercising a Pregnant Dog<br /> 1. Do not overexert your pregnant dog. This is particularly important after the 6th week of pregnancy. Allow her to rest as long as she needs to, as pregnancy can be exhausting.<br /> <br /> 2. Continue daily walks. Daily walks are a great low-intensity exercise for your pregnant dog.<br /> <br /> 3. Keep your dog away from other dogs during the last 3 weeks of pregnancy and for the first 3 weeks after she gives birth.<br /> <br /> Providing a Whelping Box<br /> 1. Buy or make a whelping box. The whelping box will serve as a safe place or &ldquo;den&rdquo; for your dog to deliver her puppies.<br /> <br /> 2. Make the box comfortable for your dog and her puppies. Line the bottom of the box with towels.<br /> <br /> 3. Place the box in a familiar yet private location.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Zika RNA Detectable in Pregnant Women After 2 Weeks]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Zika-RNA-Detectable-in-Pregnant-Women-After-2-Weeks/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Zika virus RNA was detected in the blood of five pregnant women who had been exposed to the virus at least 2 weeks prior to PCR testing, case reports from the CDC's U.S. Zika Pregnancy Registry showed.<br /> <br /> This adds to the evidence that Zika virus may be detectable in pregnant women for longer than previously thought, reported Dana Meaney-Delman, MD, of the CDC, and colleagues.<br /> <br /> The CDC recently updated their guidance to providers treating pregnant women to expand the window where real-time PCR testing can be used -- from 7 days to up to 14 days following exposure, and these results seem to support these new recommendations.<br /> <br /> Writing in a special fast-tracked study in Obstetrics and Gynecology, the authors examined five pregnant women who had traveled to or lived in countries with active Zika virus transmission -- four of whom were symptomatic, while one was asymptomatic. Zika virus RNA was detected via real-time RT-PCR in the serum of the four symptomatic pregnant women from a range of 17 to 46 days following exposure, and in the asymptomatic woman 53 days after exposure.<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/94/6c/54/946c542e968cdf5122de8bcd1e16efa7.jpg" width="550" /><br /> <br /> One symptomatic woman had evidence of Zika infection in the fetal tissue, and opted for pregnancy termination. Similar to prior fetal autopsies, Zika virus RNA was discovered in the skeletal, muscle, bone, and placenta, but not the umbilical cord, liver or lung tissue.<br /> <br /> Two symptomatic and one asymptomatic woman went on to deliver healthy infants, while one symptomatic woman has an ongoing pregnancy. However, new research indicates that it is possible that the effects of congenital Zika virus infection may not manifest until later in a child's life.<br /> <br /> With these new cases, there have now been a total of eight pregnant women with evidence of Zika virus detected in their blood for a prolonged exposure. These data seem to confirm animal studies that have discovered similar results when comparing pregnant subjects compared to non-pregnant subjects. Meaney-Delman and colleagues noted that other infectious diseases associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as hepatitis E, follow similar patterns.<br /> <br /> "Delayed immune clearance of viruses from the maternal circulation may reflect altered immunity during pregnancy," they wrote. "Alternately, fetal infection and ongoing viral replication in the fetus or placenta might result in the transfer of viral genetic material into the maternal circulation."<br /> <br /> Further research is needed in a larger population of women to determine whether or not pregnancy status impacts how long Zika virus RNA stays in a patient's blood. If confirmed, the CDC has the potential to expand their real-time RT-PCR assay, the Tripolex test -- which detects Zika virus RNA in serum and cerebrospinal fluid, and can be used for urine and amniotic fluid, as well. This test also rules out similar flaviviruses, dengue and chikungunya.<br /> <br /> "Expanding real-time RT-PCR testing may provide additional diagnostic information and increase the proportion of pregnant women with Zika virus infection who receive a definitive diagnosis," the authors conclude. "[This] may improve our understanding of the diagnostic, epidemiologic and clinical implications of prolonged detection of Zika virus RNA during pregnancy."</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[How to Detect Appendicitis During Pregnancy]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/How-to-Detect-Appendicitis-During-Pregnancy/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. It is the most common condition in pregnancy that requires surgery "as a cure," and it occurs in about 1/1000 pregnancies. Pregnant women generally experience appendicitis during the first two trimesters of pregnancy; however, it can also occur in the last trimester. If you are pregnant and worried that you may have appendicitis, see your doctor right away.</p>
<p>Recognizing the Symptoms of Appendicitis<br />1. Know the common symptoms of appendicitis.</p>
<p>2. Monitor any pain you feel. The most reliable sign of appendicitis is pain that starts out dull in and around your belly button and, after a few hours, shifts over to the right side and becomes more intense.</p>
<p>3. Be aware that you may feel pain higher up in your body if you are in your third trimester.</p>
<p>4. Pay attention if the pain you feel is followed by vomiting and nausea.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/e3/8b/d1/e38bd131959ebe2b26922417452bc3c0.jpg" height="394" width="550" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>5. Be aware if you suddenly develop a fever. When you have appendicitis, a low grade fever usually develops.</p>
<p>6. Monitor any paleness, sweating, or lack of appetite that you experience.</p>
<p>Undergoing a Physical Examination<br />1. Stay calm and prepare for the visit to your doctor. Going to the doctor, especially in a stressful situation like this one, can be nerve-wracking so it is best to know what you are going to experience. The abdominal exams your doctor will perform are listed in the following steps.</p>
<p>2. Avoid taking pain medications before going to see your doctor. While you will be experiencing pain, that pain is one of the only ways doctors can diagnose appendicitis in <span style="background-color: #ffff00;">pregnant women</span> so masking it with medication could be detrimental.</p>
<p>3. Do not eat, drink, or take any laxatives before seeing your doctor. Most people see a physician in the emergency room when they are worried about appendicitis, so the wait shouldn't be too long.</p>
<p>4. Know that your doctor will feel around your stomach testing for pain.</p>
<p>5. Be prepared for a rotation of the hip test.</p>
<p>6. Expect a leg extension test. Your doctor will ask you to lie on your side, and he or she will extend your leg asking if you feel pain. This is called the "Psoas test" and, when positive for increased pain, it is another indicator of appendicitis.</p>
<p>7. Be ready for a rectal exam. Although the rectal exam does not relate directly to the diagnosis of appendicitis, many physicians have been trained to do it as a way to exclude the possibility of something else going on.</p>
<p>Using Medical Tests to Confirm the Diagnosis<br />1. Be ready to get some blood work done. Your white blood cell counts are usually elevated with appendicitis. However, this test is less helpful in pregnant women than in other patients; this is because your white blood cell counts are already increased in pregnancy, so it does not necessarily indicate appendicitis.</p>
<p>2. Ask your doctor for an ultrasound. Ultrasound is the "gold standard" (most highly recommended) diagnostic test for appendicitis in pregnant women. It uses ultrasound echoes to create a picture and to help doctors see if you have an<br />inflamed appendix.</p>
<p>3. Be open to the possibility of other imaging tests. After 35 weeks of pregnancy, all imaging tests become complicated because of the size of the pregnancy making it hard to see the appendix.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[How to Measure Fetal Growth]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/How-to-Measure-Fetal-Growth/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Once a woman has passed her first trimester of pregnancy, the doctor will begin closer tracking of the infant's fetal growth. Fetal growth is the distance from the top of the uterus to the pubic bone and is measured in centimeters. This is also called fundal height and the fundal height generally matches the number of weeks a women is in her pregnancy. For example, if a woman is in her 23rd week of pregnancy, her fundal height should be within<span style="background-color: #ffff00;"> 3 - 4 centimeters of 23 cm</span>.<br /> <br /> <img alt="Measure Fetal Growth" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/5f/1d/89/5f1d8987f867b144cbd8ea29a25a1c92.jpg" /><br /> <br /> 1. Measure the uterus. A tape measure is used to measure the length of the "baby bump". The doctor feels on the mother's belly for the top of the uterus and measures from there to the pubic bone.<br /> The measurement is taken within 3 weeks of the gestational age, between 20 and 38 weeks of gestation. A fundal height that varies by more than 3 cm (1.18 inches) may signal a problem.<br /> A lag of 4 cm (1.58 inches) or more from the number of gestational weeks may suggest growth restriction. Your doctor will consult with you if there is any question about the baby's growth.<br /> There is an error potential of about 1 week up to 20 gestational weeks, 2 weeks from 20 to 36 weeks of gestation, and approximately 3 weeks thereafter.<br /> <br /> 2. Use ultrasound technology to help determine possible abnormalities and to confirm gestational age.<br /> This is a procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to scan the abdomen and pelvic area using highly technical equipment. This creates a picture (sonogram) of the fetus and placenta. It is completely safe and allows doctors to detect problems in early stages.<br /> Images from these are generally 2-D, but new 3D technology is quickly emerging, allowing doctors a fuller, more accurate view. Frequent ultrasounds are not recommended for normal pregnancies.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Embryo Culture Media May Influence IVF Outcomes]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Embryo-Culture-Media-May-Influence-IVF-Outcomes/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The choice of culture media for nurturing embryos before implantation in assisted reproduction procedures had no major impact on live birth rates, but did affect pregnancy rates and birth weight in a Dutch randomized trial.<br /> <br /> The G5 media formulation was not only linked to significantly higher rates of implantation and clinical pregnancy, but significantly lower birth weights than the HTF formulation, reported Sander H.M. Kleijkers, MSc, of Maastricht University Medical Center in the Netherlands, and colleagues, writing in Human Reproduction.<br /> <br /> "Understandably, there are multiple environmental influences which will also have an effect on embryo growth, pregnancy success and delivery outcome, but emphasis needs to be placed on the selection of the tiny drop of 'growth-support fluid' which inevitably has a vital role," Matthew VerMilyea, PhD, of Ovation Fertility, a national fertility service provider, told MedPage Today via email. VerMilyea was not involved with the research.<br /> <br /> Kleijkers and colleagues performed a multi-center, double-blind clinical trial of 836 couples -- with 417 randomized to G5 and 419 to HTF embryo culture media. The culture media were used in all treatment cycles, including frozen transfer cycles, for up to 1 year of treatment.<br /> <br /> Live birth rates in the G5 group were higher than in the HTF group but the difference fell short of statistical significance (44.1% versus 37.9%, P=0.08).<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/3b/0b/ef/3b0befc0b4b64991d058f6feff78ff2a.jpg" width="550" /><br /> <br /> However, the G5 group showed significant differences in other IVF/ICSI outcomes compared to the HTF group: rates of clinical pregnancy were significantly higher (47.7% versus 40.1%, P=0.03), as were the number of embryos transferred or cryopreserved per cycle (2.8 versus 2.3, P&lt;0.001).<br /> <br /> There were also significant differences in birth outcomes, with infants in the G5 group born with significantly lower birth weights versus the HTF group, albeit with a wide confidence interval (mean difference 158 g, 95% CI 42 to 275 g, P=0.008). Multivariable-adjusted analyses showed similar results.<br /> <br /> "Despite the absence of a statistical significance in the difference in live birth rate, we conclude that G5 provides better treatment success than HTF, as other outcomes that are relevant for IVF and correlate to live birth rate, all significantly favored G5," the authors wrote. However, they also noted that more than 20 other media formulations for embryo culture are currently on the market.<br /> <br /> Implications for Child Health<br /> The potential clinical implications of culture media to impact birth outcomes were examined in a separate review of literature by Arne Sunde, PhD, of St. Olav's University Hospital in Trondheim, Norway, and colleagues. They investigated the impact of assisted reproductive technology on birthweight, specifically citing the "developmental origin of health and disease" hypothesis, which suggested that birthweight can impact a child's cardiometabolic health years down the road.<br /> <br /> But the results from this review were inconclusive. Sunde's group said that a number of caveats exist about specifically linking culture media to birth outcomes. Still, they found that there have been certain differences in assisted reproductive technology treatment linked to differences in outcomes -- in the case of fresh versus frozen embryos. Prior research showed that children born following frozen embryo transfer were linked to higher mean birth weight and were at increased risk of being large for gestational age.<br /> <br /> The authors noted that a prior evidence review had attempted to investigate the association between birthweight and the type of culture medium used, and found decidedly mixed evidence -- five studies suggested an association, while six studies did not. Sunde and colleagues concluded that the relationship between the two is "unclear," and more research may be needed to explore any potential impact of different ART treatments on children.<br /> <br /> "If a relationship between the culture medium used and certain perinatal outcomes ... such as birthweight is found to be true, it is still too early to know the long-term effect on health," they wrote.<br /> <br /> Call for Increased Regulation<br /> The results of this study also raised a larger issue -- namely that manufacturers in the European Union are not required to list all the ingredients in culture media, which have the potential to influence birth outcomes. In the EU, culture media are considered a class III medical device.<br /> <br /> Hans Evers, MD, Human Reproduction's editor-in-chief, told MedPage Today via email that the laws governing the marketing of culture media differ greatly from drug companies, where regulations on new medicines are much tougher.<br /> <br /> "For me, as a doctor, it is of great concern that companies marketing culture media do not have to disclose the exact composition of their media," said Evers. "Drug companies have to detail all components of new drugs and have to provide proof from RCT's that their drugs really offer an added value to those on the market already, [but] so far, companies making embryo culture media do not have such an obligation. It's high time for some legal rules in this respect."<br /> <br /> Evers argued further in an accompanying editorial that the composition of culture media varies by manufacturer, with products showing "high degrees of variability." He also said that because their exact composition is unknown, this limits the option to link specific ingredients with IVF outcomes.<br /> <br /> "[We] therefore advocate that the complete formulation of culture media should be disclosed ... and all subsequent changes should be justified, validated and communicated at once to their end-users by the manufacturers," Evers wrote. "Changes should be made to the existing regulatory system to achieve transparency and improve monitoring of outcomes to the long-term benefit of ART children."<br /> <br /> The FDA did not respond to a request for comment from MedPage Today, but VerMilyea said that in his experience, there is no requirement to list the ingredients of culture media in the U.S., but some manufacturers do. However, the relative proportions of ingredients are heavily guarded and proprietary.<br /> <br /> "As there are multiple commercially available culture media on the market, these findings should lead to an increase awareness of the selection and implementation of products into the IVF laboratory and a more transparent approach from the manufacturers as to specific ingredients," VerMilyea argued.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[How to Buy an Ultrasound Machine]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/How-to-Buy-an-Ultrasound-Machine/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Ultrasound machines serve many purposes.They can be used for obstetric,veterinary and cardiac procedures as well as to treat sports injuries and chronic pain.Whether you are buying an ultrasound machine for your home or your medical office,it is important to consider budget,manufacturer and reliability.Some people choose to buy portable ultrasound machines that they can take from place to place,and others like to save money by purchasing a used machine.Buy an ultrasound machine by determining how you will use it,how long you plan to have it and what you want to spend.</p>
<p>1.Consider your plans for the ultrasound machine.The size and type of machine you buy will depend on whether you expect to use it at your home,in your medical office or in a larger healthcare setting.</p>
<p>2.Set a budget.</p>
<p>3.Think about the size you need.Ultrasound machines for the home are lightweight and some can even be worn.Others are large machines that are meant to be used in hospitals and medical centers when patients are lying down.</p>
<p>4.Examine several different manufacturers and models.If you currently have an ultrasound machine and you are pleased with its performance,consider sticking with the same brand.</p>
<p><img title="Ultrasound Machine" alt="" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/201508261609427828.jpg" height="603" width="603" /></p>
<p>5.Look for all the appropriate certifications.Government and manufacturer certifications will ensure the machine is inspected and held to strict safety standards.</p>
<p>6.Look for the technical specifications you need.These will include the level of power output,the imaging required,color Doppler and whether a DICOM or a DIGITAL system is best.</p>
<p>7.Shop with well known providers of medical equipment.If you are not sure where to start looking,talk to your doctor or another healthcare provider about where to buy.If you are a healthcare professional,use your best vendors.</p>
<p>8.Buy a used or a new ultrasound machine online.You can shop at retailers such as eBay and Amazon for one,or buy from a company that specializes in medical supplies.Check the certifications so you know it is safe and approved by the government and the medical industry.</p>
<p>9.Buy an ultrasound machine that has a warranty and a return policy.At the minimum,you will want a 1 year warranty.Some machines might offer up to a 5 year plan.</p>
<p>10.Make sure the machine is up to date if you are buying it used.A newer model will keep your medical office from appearing outdated.If you are buying it for your home,you will not have to worry about replacing it sooner than necessary.</p>
<p>11.Read reviews.Most companies will share testimonials from happy customers,but dig a little deeper.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[Pocket-sized versus standard ultrasound machines in abdominal imaging]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Pocket-sized-versus-standard-ultrasound-machines-in-abdominal-imaging/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The pocket-sized ultrasound machine has emerged as an invaluable tool for quick assessment in emergency and general practice settings. It is suitable for instant and quick assessment in cardiac imaging. However, its applicability in the imaging of other body parts has yet to be established. In this pictorial review, we compared the performance of the pocket-sized ultrasound machine against the standard ultrasound machine for its image quality in common abdominal pathology.</p>
<p>Ultrasonography is a valuable, noninvasive investigation tool. It is especially suitable for detecting abnormal fluid collection and pathology of abdominal organs. However, the standard ultrasound machine is too bulky and expensive for regular medical clinics, and instant access to an ultrasound facility is not always feasible. This has led to the development of smaller and more affordable ultrasound machines.</p>
<p><img alt="ultrasound machines" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/201609011006089896.jpg" height="361" width="602" /></p>
<p>The first portable ultrasound machine was commercially available in 1975. However, the battery-powered, pocket-sized ultrasound machine did not arrive until the late 1990s. With recent advancements in technology, smaller and lighter devices with higher image quality are now available (such as those manufactured by GE Healthcare, Siemens and Philips). These pocket-sized ultrasound machines allow clinicians to have immediate visual correlation with physical examination findings. They also allow for quick and instant assessments, which are extremely important for emergency physicians. At a healthcare resource allocation level, they significantly reduce a patient&rsquo;s waiting time and improve clinician&rsquo;s workflow. Furthermore, the cost of pocket-sized ultrasound machines is much lower than that of standard ones (approximately USD 10,000 vs. USD 49,000).(3,4) Hence, they are more likely to be acquired for use in general practitioners&rsquo; clinics.</p>
<p>The pocket-sized ultrasound machine has been shown to be suitable for cardiac imaging in certain clinical settings. However, its applicability for the imaging of other body parts has yet to be established. In this pictorial essay, we compared the quality of images obtained from a pocket-sized ultrasound machine and that of a standard ultrasound machine in abdominal imaging. The pocket-sized ultrasound machine used was the GE Vscan (GE Healthcare, Wauwatosa, WI, USA) and the standard ultrasound machine used was the Philips iU22 (C5-2 Probe, iU22 Intelligent Ultrasound System; Philips, Bothell, WA, USA).</p>
<p>For the purpose of comparison, images of the same patient were used. Ultrasonographic examinations were completed in the same session using the standard, followed by the pocket-sized, ultrasound machine. All ultrasonographic examinations were performed by a radiologist who has had more than ten years of experience in ultrasonographic imaging. The time taken for imaging using the two kinds of ultrasound machines was comparable.</p>
<p>In the first section of this article, we compare the normal anatomy of major abdominal organs using the standard and pocket-sized ultrasound machines. We then compared the images obtained using the standard ultrasound machine against those obtained using the pocket-sized ultrasound machine in common intra-abdominal pathologies.</p>
<p>Pocket-sized ultrasound machines (with broad bandwidth phased array probe) provide satisfactory image quality for identification of most of the abdominal solid organs.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[How Much Does an Ultrasound Machine Cost?]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Ultrasound-Machine-Cost/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Ultrasound Machine Prices</strong><br /><strong>Ultrasound machines</strong> are a critical piece of equipment in the medical world. Ultrasound technology, also called sonography, is an essential tool in diagnosing and treating a variety of medical conditions.</p>
<p>Although most people think of ultrasounds as a procedure to monitor the development of a fetus during pregnancy, medical professionals know the technology has a variety of uses. These include diagnosing heart conditions, detecting tumors and monitoring the health of internal organs like the liver, pancreas, bladder and kidneys.</p>
<p><strong>Ultrasound machines</strong> do have limitations. Ultrasound waves have trouble passing through gas or air so they&rsquo;re not ideal for diagnosing bowel disorders. They have trouble penetrating bone. They&rsquo;re not as reliable when used on large patients because the sound waves become weaker as the move deeper into the body. Still, <strong>ultrasound machines</strong> are among the many essential pieces of equipment for doctor&rsquo;s offices, hospitals, and medical clinics.</p>
<p><strong>Ultrasound Machine Average Costs</strong><br /><strong>Ultrasound machines</strong> start at about $10,000 and range up to $200,000. The price depends largely on the level of technology. A small clinic can purchase a simple, black and white <strong>ultrasound machine</strong> on the low end of that price range while a large hospital might pay $150,000 for a color machine that produces 4-Dimensional images.</p>
<p>Most new <strong>ultrasound machines</strong> fall in the $20,000 to $75,000 range. Used or refurbished machines - which offer a great opportunity for saving money - usually run $5,000 to $40,000 for average models.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>But!!</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>MSL Portable ultrasound machines, which are great for convenience but produce lower quality images,</strong></span> <span style="font-size: large; background-color: #ffff00;"><strong>retail for US$ 750!!!!!!! to US$25,000.</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Other <strong>Ultrasound Machine Prices</strong> and Fees.<br />The price of the machine itself is not the only cost you&rsquo;ll incur:</p>
<p>Basic installation and training is usually included in the price of the machine. But if your staff requires a detailed training course, budget an extra $1,000 to $6,000 to bring in an outside expert.<br />Delivery usually adds a few hundred dollars to the total price.<br />Maintenance agreements that provide cleaning, service and repairs cost about 15 percent of the purchase price each year.<br />Additional transducer probes can run anywhere from $500 to $5,000. Standard probes are generally less than $1,000 while high-end probes often range from $3,000 to $5,000.<br />Ultrasound printers range from $1,000 to $3,000. Not surprisingly, black and white printers cost less than thermal or color printers.<br />A starter package of ultrasound accessories like transmission gel, lotion and pads is often included in the purchase price. But keep in mind that you&rsquo;ll have to pay to replenish these supplies on a regular basis.</p>

      <title><![CDATA[How to Bond With Your Premature Baby in the Nicu]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/How-to-Bond-With-Your-Premature-Baby-in-the-Nicu/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>For many parents, the birth of their child does not play out as they had imagined it would. When complications arise and babies are born prematurely, those who are in need of more in-depth care than is available in the regular hospital nursery are admitted to the NICU. The NICU, or neonatal intensive care unit, can certainly be a very alarming place with all the beeping monitors and the hustle and bustle of the hospital staff moving about. When parents are faced with the news that their newborn baby will be spending his first days in the NICU, they are often overwhelmed with a variety of emotions. Familiarizing yourself with the way things work in the NICU can help lessen your fears so that you can direct your focus towards helping your baby thrive. NICU babies require constant monitoring and care. Although you will not be able to hold your baby and bond with him in the privacy of your own room, parents can still spend quality time and bond with their baby in the NICU.<br /> <br /> Become Your Baby&rsquo;s Biggest Advocate<br /> 1. Learn as much about your baby&rsquo;s medical condition as possible. Some premature babies will just need more time for their lungs to mature, while others may suffer from more serious complications. The more that you know and understand about what your baby needs, the better you will be able to ensure he is receiving the treatment and care that is best for him.<br /> <br /> 2. Strive to set up a good relationship with the staff that will be attending to your baby while he is in the NICU.<br /> <br /> <img alt="Premature Baby in the Nicu
" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/09/3a/63/093a639487d5408af32cca3a2aa909ca.jpg" /><br /> <br /> Visit With Your Baby as Often as Possible<br /> NICU&rsquo;s are designed to allow parents as much visitation time as possible. If this is your first baby, you will likely have more time to spend with him than parents who have other children at home to care for. If you have other children at home, it can be overwhelming to try to care for them while making trips back and forth to the hospital. Visit the hospital as often as possible, but more importantly, make the most of your time while you are there with him.<br /> <br /> 1. Arrange for a sitter to care for younger children if there are any. Young siblings are often not allowed in the NICU. Call on family and friends whenever possible.<br /> <br /> 2. Utilize the cots or recliners that some NICU&rsquo;s offer to parents. Being able to room in with your baby can help with the bonding process.<br /> <br /> 3. Inquire about any special housing charities that may be located nearby and use them if available.<br /> <br /> Focus on Your Baby<br /> It is normal for you to be nervous when your baby is in the NICU. Try to put aside all of your worries and fears so that you can focus on your baby. Stress and fear are negative emotions that will prevent you from bonding with your baby. He needs you during this difficult time, and he will have to draw on your strength to get through his ordeal. Keep your thoughts and emotions positive and focus on taking your baby home with you as soon as possible.<br /> <br /> 1. Practice some deep breathing techniques. This can be a helpful method to assist you in feeling a bit more relaxed.<br /> <br /> 2. Tune into your baby so that you can relax easier.<br /> <br /> 3. Take this time to enjoy the moments spent with your baby. When you are with your baby, do not get distracted by anything else.<br /> <br /> 4. Make eye to eye contact with your baby whenever possible. Chances are that your NICU baby will be sleeping most of the time.<br /> <br /> Watch Your Baby&rsquo;s Body Language<br /> 1. Pay attention to the way she reacts when touched.<br /> <br /> 2. Notice baby&rsquo;s reaction to your voice when you speak gently or softly sing.<br /> <br /> 3. Pay attention to what catches your baby&rsquo;s interests.<br /> <br /> 4. Protect your baby from becoming over stimulated.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Different types of echocardiography]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Different-types-of-echocardiography/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Echocardiogram,often referred to as a cardiac echo or simply an echo,is a sonogram of the heart.(It is not abbreviated as ECG,an abbreviation for an electrocardiogram.) Echocardiography uses standard two-dimensional,three-dimensional,and Doppler ultrasound to create images of the heart.</p>
<p>Echocardiography has become routinely used in the diagnosis,management,and follow-up of patients with any suspected or known heart diseases.It is one of the most widely used diagnostic tests in cardiology.It can provide a wealth of helpful information,including the size and shape of the heart (internal chamber size quantification),pumping capacity,and the location and extent of any tissue damage.An echocardiogram can also give physicians other estimates of heart function such as a calculation of the cardiac output,ejection fraction,and diastolic function (how well the heart relaxes).</p>
<p>Transthoracic echocardiogram<br />A standard echocardiogram is also known as a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE),or cardiac ultrasound.In this case,the echocardiography transducer (or probe) is placed on the chest wall (or thorax) of the subject,and images are taken through the chest wall.This is a non-invasive,highly accurate and quick assessment of the overall health of the heart.</p>
<p><img title="what is echocardiography" alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/93/56/59/9356592adb4279933e5a6f990d48af28.jpg" height="434" width="636" /></p>
<p>Transesophageal echocardiogram<br />This is an alternative way to perform an echocardiogram.A specialized probe containing an ultrasound transducer at its tip is passed into the patient's esophagus.This allows image and Doppler evaluation from a location directly behind the heart.This is known as a trans?sophageal echocardiogram,or TOE (TEE in the United States).Transesophageal echocardiograms are most often utilized when transthoracic images are suboptimal and when a more clear and precise image is needed for assessment.This test is performed in the presence of a cardiologist,registered nurse,and ultrasound technician.Conscious sedation and/or localized numbing medication,may or may not be used in order to make the patient more comfortable during the procedure.</p>
<p>Stress echocardiography<br />A stress echocardiogram,also known as a stress echo or SE,utilizes ultrasound imaging of the heart to assess the wall motion in response to physical stress.First,images of the heart are taken "at rest" to acquire a baseline of the patient's wall motion at a resting heart rate.The patient then walks on a treadmill or utilizes another exercise modality to increase the heart rate to his or her target heart rate,or 85% of the age predicted max heart rate (age predicted max heart rate = 220 ? patient's age).Finally,images of the heart are taken "at stress" to assess wall motion at the peak heart rate.A stress echo assesses wall motion of the heart; it does not,however,image the coronary arteries directly.Ischemia of one or more coronary arteries could cause a wall motion abnormality which could indicate coronary artery disease (CAD).The gold standard test to directly image the coronary arteries and directly assess for stenosis or occlusion is a cardiac catheterization.A stress echo is a non-invasive test and is performed in the presence of a licensed medical professional,such as a cardiologist,and a cardiac sonographer.</p>
<p>Three-dimensional echocardiography<br />3D echocardiography (also known as 4D echocardiography when the picture is moving) is now possible,using a matrix array ultrasound probe and an appropriate processing system.This enables detailed anatomical assessment of cardiac pathology,particularly valvular defects,and cardiomyopathies.The ability to slice the virtual heart in infinite planes in an anatomically appropriate manner and to reconstruct three-dimensional images of anatomic structures make 3D echocardiography unique for the understanding of the congenitally malformed heart.Real Time 3-Dimensional echocardiography can be used to guide the location of bioptomes during right ventricular endomyocardial biopsies,placement of catheter delivered valvular devices,and in many other intraoperative assessments.The 3D Echo Box developed by the European Association of Echocardiography offers a complete review of Three Dimensional Echocardiography.</p>
<p>Three-dimensional echocardiography technology may feature Anatomical Intelligence,or the use of organ modeling technology to automatically identify anatomy based on generic models.All generic models reference a dataset of anatomical information that uniquely adapts to variability in patient anatomy to perform specific tasks.Built on feature recognition and segmentation algorithms,this technology can provide patient-specific three-dimensional modeling of the heart and other aspects of the anatomy including the brain,lungs,liver,kidney,rib cage and vertebra column.</p>
<p>Contrast echocardiography<br />Contrast echocardiography,or Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is the addition of ultrasound contrast medium,or imaging agent,to traditional ultrasonography.The ultrasound contrast is made up of tiny microbubbles filled with a gas core and protein shell.This allows the microbubbles to circulate through the cardiovascular system and return the ultrasound waves creating a highly reflective image.The most commonly used types of ultrasound contrast are known as Definity?(definityimaging.com) and Optison? (optisonimaging.com).Both have been approved by the FDA.There are multiple applications in which contrast-enhanced ultrasound can be useful.The most commonly used application is in the enhancement of LV endocardial borders for assessment of global and regional systolic function.Contrast may also be used to enhance visualization of wall thickening during stress echocardiography,for the assessment of LV thrombus,or for the assessment of other masses in the heart.Contrast echocardiography has also been used to assess blood perfusion throughout myocardium in the case of coronary artery disease.The Contrast Echo Box developed by the European Association of Echocardiography,and the American Society of Echocardiography Contrast Zone both offer a complete review of Contrast Echocardiography.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Remote Monitoring Improves Satisfaction]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Pregnancy-Remote-Monitoring-Improves-Satisfaction/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>WASHINGTON -- Low-risk pregnant patients who received some prenatal care through a remote monitoring system reported greater satisfaction with their care and less stress about their pregnancies than patients who received usual care, a small randomized trial presented here found.</p>
<p>Compared with patients randomized to usual prenatal care, patients in the OB Nest group -- who had remote monitoring -- reported higher satisfaction about their care at 36 weeks (95% versus 77%, respectively, P&lt;0.001), reported Yvonne Butler Tobah, MD, of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and colleagues.</p>
<p>In an intent-to-treat analysis, patients randomized to OB Nest also reported significantly less pregnancy-related stress at both 14 and 36 weeks versus patients with usual care, though the difference was nonsignificant at 24 weeks. There was also no significant difference in perceived quality of care related to either communication or decision making between the two groups.</p>
<p>These results were presented at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists annual meeting.</p>
<p><img title="Remote Monitoring" alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/c3/a7/d0/c3a7d030ab83e2c328645986f505b2b3.jpg" height="450" width="600" /></p>
<p>All patients were followed according to ACOG guidelines for lab testing, imaging, immunizations, and appropriate anticipatory guidance. The difference with OB Nest patients was they had fewer clinic visits. Instead of the usual 12 scheduled appointments, OB Nest patients had eight scheduled appointments and six "virtual care" visits with a trained nurse either via phone or email. They also monitored and reported their blood pressure and the baby's fetal heartbeat from home.</p>
<p>Co-author Abimbola Famuyide, MBBS, also of the Mayo Clinic, said that his team decided to test this approach after touring a Mayo Clinic Center of Excellence, where remote monitoring was being done on patients with end-stage kidney disease.</p>
<p>"We thought 'Wait a minute, this may have application for pregnant patients,' so we started looking around if people had looked at ways of doing home monitoring for pregnant women and there really wasn't much out there," he told MedPage Today. "That's how we came about to this project to see if it's possible for a pregnant woman to track her blood pressure and monitor the baby's heartbeat at home and share results with us."</p>
<p>Prior to conducting this trial, Tobah's team did a validation experiment with nine pregnant patients to ensure that patients were capable of doing accurate monitoring at home. For this trial, they analyzed 134 women in the OB Nest group and 133 women in the usual prenatal care group. Low-risk pregnant patients ages 18-39 years (mean age 29 years) were recruited at gestational age &lt;13 weeks.</p>
<p>Not surprisingly, OB Nest patients also had 3.4 fewer outpatient scheduled clinic appointments, and 2.85 fewer scheduled appointments with a provider (P&lt;0.001 for both) than patients receiving usual care. By contrast, nurses reported significantly more time spent with OB Nest patients compared vs the usual care group.</p>
<p>While patient satisfaction was the primary outcome, Tobah and colleagues also examined secondary outcomes, and found no significant difference in maternal/fetal events, incidence of cesarean delivery, preterm birth, birthweight, or an Apgar score &lt;7. There was a higher portion of gestational diabetes in the OB Nest group (6 patients versus 0 patients in usual care), but the differences were not significant.</p>
<p>However, Tobah noted at the presentation that the study was not powered to detect differences in obstetrical outcomes, only patient outcomes. Other limitations included that the participants were not blinded to the method of care, which may have resulted in ascertainment bias, and the limited generalizability of the results, as most patients were married, Caucasian and well-educated.</p>
<p>Charles Lockwood, MD, of University of South Florida in Tampa, who was not involved in the study, said that although the results seemed promising, more research was needed into the concept.</p>
<p>"In value-based care we will be reimbursed both by the quality of care rendered (i.e., patient satisfaction, safety and outcomes) and its costs," he told MedPage Today via email. "While the study is intriguing, larger numbers of patients will need to be studied in various locales to confirm that comparability of maternal-fetal outcomes and confirm costs savings."</p>
<p>Famuyide agreed, saying that the next step of the research is to validate OB Nest in a community setting and his team has applied for a grant to study this in the Mayo Clinic Health System throughout the upper Midwest. He said he eventually hopes to examine remote monitoring for higher-risk patients, such as those with gestational diabetes, adding that systems like remote monitoring will be crucial with the anticipated healthcare shortfall.</p>
<p>"Right now nationally, about 90% of women delivered by physicians -- the vast majority by OB/GYNs," said Famuyide. "If we're going to have a shortfall in physicians, we're going to have to figure out a way to safely deliver care to pregnant women with fewer physician resources and this is one way to get us safely on that pathway."</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[What is ultrasound?]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/What-is-ultrasound/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Ultrasounds are sound waves with frequencies higher than the upper audible limit of human hearing. Ultrasound is not different from 'normal' (audible) sound in its physical properties,only in that humans cannot hear it.This limit varies from person to person and is approximately 20 kilohertz (20,000 hertz) in healthy,young adults. Ultrasound devices operate with frequencies from 20 kHz up to several gigahertz.</p>
<p>Ultrasound is used in many different fields.Ultrasonic devices are used to detect objects and measure distances.Ultrasound imaging or sonography is often in medicine.In the nondestructive testing of products and structures,ultrasound is used to detect invisible flaws.Industrially,ultrasound is used for cleaning,mixing,and to accelerate chemical processes.Animals such as bats and porpoises use ultrasound for locating prey and obstacles.</p>
<p><img alt="ultrasound price" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/97c5c0e5745adb6e61fadc73b90b9463.jpg" height="405" width="589" /></p>
<p>Ultrasound History<br />Acoustics,the science of sound,starts as far back as Pythagoras in the 6th century BC,who wrote on the mathematical properties of stringed instruments.Sir Francis Galton constructed a whistle producing ultrasound in 1893.The first technological application of ultrasound was an attempt to detect submarines by Paul Langevin in 1917.The piezoelectric effect,discovered by Jacques and Pierre Curie in 1880,was useful in transducers to generate and detect ultrasonic waves in air and water. Echolocation in bats was discovered by Lazzaro Spallanzani in 1794,when he demonstrated that bats hunted and navigated by inaudible sound and not vision.</p>
<p>Ultrasound Definition<br />Ultrasound is defined by the American National Standards Institute as "sound at frequencies greater than 20 kHz."</p>]]></description>

      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Types-and-security-issues-obstetric-ultrasound/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Obstetric ultrasonography is the use of medical ultrasonography in pregnancy,in which sound waves are used to create real-time visual images of the developing embryo or fetus in its mother's uterus (womb).The procedure is a standard part of prenatal care in many countries,as it can provide a variety of information about the health of the mother,the timing and progress of the pregnancy,and the health and development of the embryo or fetus.<br /> <br /> The International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) recommends that pregnant women have routine obstetric ultrasounds between 18 weeks and 22 weeks gestational age in order to confirm pregnancy timing,to measure the fetus so that growth abnormalities can be recognized quickly later in pregnancy,and to assess for congenital malformations and multiple gestations (i.e.twins).Additionally,the ISUOG recommends that pregnant women have obstetric ultrasounds between 11 weeks and 13 weeks 6 days gestational age In countries with resources to perform them.Performing an ultrasound at this early stage of pregnancy can more accurately confirm the timing of the pregnancy and can also assess for multiple fetuses and major congenital abnormalities at an earlier stage.Research shows that routine obstetric ultrasound before 24 weeks gestational age can significantly reduce the risk of failing to recognize multiple gestations and can improve pregnancy dating to reduce the risk of labor induction for post-dates pregnancy.There is no difference,however,in perinatal death or poor outcomes for babies.<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/6b/60/25/6b60250627e19fc9f7cd4f05d6aeedef.jpg" /><br /> <br /> Types<br /> Traditional obstetric sonograms are done by placing a transducer on the abdomen of the pregnant woman.One variant,a transvaginal sonography,is done with a probe placed in the woman's vagina.Transvaginal scans usually provide clearer pictures during early pregnancy and in obese women.Also used is Doppler sonography which detects the heartbeat of the fetus.Doppler sonography can be used to evaluate the pulsations in the fetal heart and bloods vessels for signs of abnormalities.<br /> <br /> 3D ultrasound<br /> Modern 3D ultrasound images provide greater detail for prenatal diagnosis than the older 2D ultrasound technology.While 3D is popular with parents desiring a prenatal photograph as a keepsake,both 2D and 3D are discouraged by the FDA for non-medical use,but there are no definitive studies linking ultrasound to any adverse medical effects.<br /> <br /> Safety issues<br /> Current evidence indicates that diagnostic ultrasound is safe for the unborn child,unlike radiographs,which employ ionizing radiation.Randomized controlled trials have followed children up to ages 8&ndash;9,with no significant differences in vision,hearing,school performance,dyslexia,or speech and neurologic development by exposure to ultrasound.In one randomized trial,the children with greater exposure to ultrasound had a reduction in perinatal mortality,and was attributed to the increased detection of anomalies in the ultrasound group.</p>]]></description>

      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Ultrasound-Bests-3D-Mammography-for-Ca-Detection-in-Dense-Breasts/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Ultrasound turned in a better incremental breast cancer detection rate than tomosynthesis in mammography-negative dense breasts, and a similar false-positive rate, according to interim findings from the ASTOUND trial.</p>
<p>Among more than 3,000 mammography-negative screening participants with dense breasts, 24 additional breast cancers (BC) were detected, of which 23 were invasive. All 23 were detected with ultrasound for an incremental cancer detection rate (CDR) of 7.1 per 1,000 screens (95% CI 4.2-10.0, P=0.006) versus 13 found with tomosynthesis (incremental CDR 4.0 per 1,000 screens, 95% CI 1.8-6.2), reported Nehmat Houssami, MBBS, MPH, PhD, of the University of Sydney, and colleagues.</p>
<p>The false-positive (FP) recall rates for any testing (P=0.26) or for biopsy (P=0.86) did not differ between the two modalities, they wrote in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.</p>
<p>While the analysis "shows that ultrasound has better incremental BC detection than tomosynthesis in mammography-negative dense breasts at a similar FP-recall rate ... future application of adjunct screening should consider that tomosynthesis detected more than 50% of the additional BCs in these women and could potentially be the primary screening modality," the authors cautioned.</p>
<p><img alt="Ultrasound Bests 3D Mammography" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/5f182da244084848b329ff7e2c7062e4.jpg" height="421" width="562" /></p>
<p>Therese B. Bevers, MD, of the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, agreed with the authors.</p>
<p>"It's a great suggestion," she told MedPage Today. "While there is slightly greater cancer detection with ultrasound, there are some system barriers of time, cost, and manpower to performing all those ultrasounds."</p>
<p>Bevers, who was not involved in the study, noted that cost is also an issue. While not all insurance plans cover tomosynthesis, "most places I've heard of have priced it exceedingly competitively." MD Anderson charges patients a standard $60 fee for screening tomosynthesis.</p>
<p>In addition, tomosynthesis studies require only a few minutes more in the same setting as standard mammography, so "[screening tomosynthesis] would keep things moving along in screening large populations," she said.</p>
<p>Study Details<br />During 2012-2015, the multicenter Adjunct Screening With Tomosynthesis or Ultrasound in Women With Mammography-Negative Dense Breasts trial screened 3,231 dense-breasted asymptomatic women (median age 51) with negative mammograms using both tomosynthesis and physician-performed ultrasonography.</p>
<p>Cross-blinded breast radiologists interpreted the images from each modality separately. Outcome measures were CDR, number of false-positive recalls, and incremental cancer detection rates for each imaging technique.</p>
<p>Invasive lesions detected were 18 invasive ductal carcinomas, four invasive lobular carcinomas, one mixed invasive, and one ductal carcinoma in situ. Mean tumor size was 15.2 mm for tomosynthesis and 15.1 mm for ultrasound.</p>
<p>The incremental CDR for tomosynthesis and ultrasound differed by a CDR of 3.1 per 1,000 screens (95% CI 1.2-3.1) in favor of ultrasound, a yield consistent with previous trials of these modalities, the authors reported.</p>
<p>The incremental CDR for adjunct screening with tomosynthesis and ultrasound where either was positive was 7.4 per 1,000 screens (95% CI 4.4-10.4).</p>
<p>Incremental false-positive recalls occurred in 107 cases (3.33%, 95% CI 2.72%-3.96%). False-positive recalls involving any testing did not differ between the two modalities: 53 for tomosynthesis (1.7%) and 65 (2.0%) for ultrasound. Nor did false-positive recalls for biopsy differ: 22 for tomosynthesis (0.7%) and 24 (0.7%) for ultrasound (P=0.86).</p>
<p>Findings referred for short-term imaging review came from tomosynthesis in 150 screens (4.7%), and from ultrasound in 57 screens (1.8%).</p>
<p>"Our results could be taken to suggest that tomosynthesis is detecting [breast caners] that would have been otherwise masked (on 2D mammography) by overlapping breast parenchyma, but seems less capable than ultrasound at finding cancers that are entirely masked by mammography-dense tissue," Houssami's group wrote. "We assume that some cancers are visible to only one of the physical principles of imaging modalities (x-ray for tomosynthesis vs ultrasound)."</p>
<p>The majority of ultrasound-detected cancers undetected by tomosynthesis were masses, whereas the single malignancy detected by tomosynthesis but missed by ultrasound was an architectural distortion.</p>
<p>The authors pointed out that these results are interim only, and relate to a self-referring population of women with dense breasts and negative mammograms.</p>
<p>Ultrasound screening for dense breasts is resource-intensive and increases false-positive recalls and costs, the authors noted. So with adjunct tomosynthesis detecting 50% of additional cancers, policy makers might consider whether "tomosynthesis could potentially be the primary imaging modality (without any adjunct imaging)," they wrote.</p>
<p>A study limitation was that the authors did not have health information on the participants beyond age and breast density. "Risk-related data were not routinely collected at participating imaging centers," they stated.</p>
<p>Used Together?<br />One of the historical barriers to implementing ultrasound (US) breast cancer screening in practice has been the high rate of false-positives, explained Wendie Berg, MD, PhD, of Magee-Womens Hospital of University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, in an accompanying editorial.</p>
<p>"Importantly, in preliminary results from the ASTOUND trial, false-positive recalls (2.0%) and biopsies (0.7%) were acceptably low," she noted.</p>
<p>However, she pointed out that "these low rates likely reflect that most of the US screens in ASTOUND were incident screens (with prior examinations available); further, recommendations for short interval follow up (Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System density categories three) were not considered test positive."</p>
<p>She also acknowledged that ultrasound screening implementation is hampered by lack of standardized training for technologists and potential out-of-pocket costs for patients.</p>
<p>In comparison, "digital breast tomosynthesis, which is essentially 3D mammography, is much easier to implement. Once the equipment is in place, a technologist positions the patient exactly the same way as for standard mammography and simply pushes a button to obtain tomosynthesis instead of (or in combination with) a standard digital mammogram," she wrote.</p>
<p>But Berg suggested that the two modalities can work together. "On the basis of the results from ASTOUND, tomosynthesis still misses a substantial number of invasive cancers in women with dense breasts: supplemental US after tomosynthesis would still be reasonable, although further study is warranted," she wrote.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Routine ultrasound testing not proven safe for pregnant women]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/Routine-ultrasound-testing-not-proven-safe-for-pregnant-women/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>It is common for a pregnant woman to undergo several routine ultrasounds during her 40-week pregnancy. What many don't know, and despite what popular medical and government websites state, ultrasound scans have never been proven safe for pregnant women or babies and aren't recommended for routine use and non-high risk pregnancies.</p>
<p>An ultrasound is a diagnostic scan that emits ultra-high-frequency sound waves at tissues or bones. As the echo waves return to the machine, a picture is created. In the 1970s it was thought that ultrasounds were safe for pregnant women because of the very low scanning intensities; however, since 1993 the FDA has allowed high-output machines to scan babies at eight times the tolerable level without conducting any epidemiological studies. In addition, each scan heats surrounding tissues and bones up to six degrees higher than the maximum determined level of safety and can cause cavitation, where gas pockets in tissues and body fluid collapse. This can lead to a disruption in cell function and permeability, bleeding, and can have adverse effects on early fetal development.</p>
<p>Ultrasound studies done on animals have shown cell abnormalities to several generations, brain hemorrhages, lung damage, slow locomotor and learning abilities that worsened with longer exposure, and neuronal migration abnormalities consistent with autism and dyslexia in humans. Mice exposed to 600 minutes of ultrasound survived no longer than ten days.</p>
<p><img alt="ultrasound testing not proven safe" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/201512241623379437.jpg" height="582" width="582" /></p>
<p>Despite convincing evidence in animals that ultrasounds are dangerous, few studies have been conducted on humans, most of which are from other countries who limit ultrasound use. These studies have shown the following adverse effects including preterm labor, miscarriage, low birth weight, poorer birth condition, perinatal death, dyslexia, inner ear damage, and delayed speech development. An Australian randomized Doppler study involving high-risk mothers found more fetal distress in labor and lower APGAR scores at birth. Another Australian study showed that babies given five or more ultrasounds during pregnancy were 30 percent more likely to develop intrauterine growth retardation consistent with the findings in animal studies.</p>
<p>The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine advises patients to make an informed decision concerning possible adverse risks. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecology recommends scans only for specific reasons, and along with the FDA, discourages the use of ultrasounds for non-medical purposes. A review in the U.S Journal of Epidemiology suggests that continued research is needed to evaluate the potential adverse effects of ultrasound exposure in pregnancy. Unfortunately, women are led to believe that ultrasounds are harmless and properly studied. This is clearly not the case.</p>

      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/portable-ultrasound-aid-special-forces-medical-workers/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">News from Medpagetoday:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tells that Dr. (Maj.) Andrew Morgan arrived at third Special Forces Group (Airborne), he were already aware that the benefits of ultrasound machines from being an emergency physician at Womack Army Medical Center at Fort Bragg ( South-central north Carolina town ).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And then, Morgan served that knowledge with him to the team in the summer of the year of 2007 when he got the army unit operating surgeon for first Battalion, third SFG, and he rapidly pushed to have much more ultrasound machines at his unit.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After that, Morgan and his employees noticed a problem in the field of medical imaging after they evaluated the medical capability of the battalion's Special Forces operational detachment alpha teams. So he moved to gain more ultrasound machines to be able to get them to the Special Forces medics in the field; where they will have the perfect impact.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Portable Ultrasound&nbsp;machines ( as following showed machine&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/portable-digital-ultrasonic-diagnostic-imaging-system-dp-30.html">Portable &amp; Digital Ultrasonic Diagnostic Imaging System DP-30</a>&nbsp;), which apply high-frequency sound waves to explore the body for a number of medical reasons, such as for example checking blood finding fractures, in the abdomen, skin infections and collapsed lungs, which is already have popular use in Army medicine however right until lately were not storied in the Special Forces arena.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img alt="" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/_-1_1.jpg" height="484" width="727" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However with the arrival of portable ultrasound machines, which can weigh less than near five pounds, Special Forces medical workers are recognizing the power of this tech in their environment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At this moment, each Special Forces battalion is licensed a single portable ultrasound machine, and yet when Morgan took his present position he asked for more of the machines to put in the hands of the unit's medical workers.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Display</strong></span> - this may be the nearly all recognizable part of any unit. As the user deals with the sensor probe (we'll discuss about that sooner or later), then give and get data, which are handled by the processor, and even the software. This data is interpreted into visual information that is presented on a monitor or display. Image sharpness depends upon the age and display resolution.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Sensor Probe</strong></span> - may be the Probe eyes and ears of ultrasound. The probe sends sound waves into the patient and gets the echoed vibrations. As waves trip into the patient, they Bounce Back at unique intervals according to the fact that the jump off. The sensors of the probe gathers this important information and moves with the CPU, the Central Processing Unit.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Central Processing Unit (CPU)</strong> </span>- computer processor, which utilizes specialized software that interprets the sound waves, which are gone back to the sensor probe. He transferred to the image data or a number of images, allowing technicians and physicians to take on the affected body part or parts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Keyboard</strong></span> - Since this is a special computer, ultrasonic machines keyboard like a ordinary computer. This permits the agent to enter important information about the patient or the results during the procedure. Hard Drive Storage - just like a regular computer, ultra-sound, able to storing information for use later. Information might be stored on the inner hard disk or a CD-ROM or DVD. information also can be saved in digital format and uploaded to the net, in order that it can be ready in the office or anywhere you have an Internet link.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Printing device</strong></span> - During the ultrasound procedure, the user can copy images for later study or to be done home sick, generally, expect parents.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Video Recorder</strong></span> - some ultrasound has the ability to record the procedure as it happens. This kind of recorder, especially designed for medical use. His memory of the digital frame offers a noiseless, crystal clear freeze and is fully compatible with other records tapes. Because in the printer, which enables parents to look to take home a report on the development of their child.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/MSLPU35-4.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to the model and brand of ultrasound, there might be extra parts or choices. Some providers offer options as endorectal and endovaginal transducers, which offer higher resolution than conventional abdominal sensor. Due to the fact they can produce scans near to the impacted area, they can drive more accurate results. Additional features were included to the smaller, ultrasound, portable machines, which causes them powerful, versatile, cheaper alternative to many doctors and clinics.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We need to mention the most significant part of the ultrasound machine the operator or sonographer. Sonographers are medical experts who play <a href="http://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/hottest-well-praised-handheld-wireless-probe-scanner-mslpu35.html">ultrasound scans</a> for diagnostic purposes. Every so often, the physician and sonographer are agreed in the same. The precision of ultrasound examination and its results rely on training, operator education, skills and experience. Diagnosis more precise information on the exams, the more accurate the doctor can be. The very best ultrasound equipment, which can be bought for money, not really much use if you have the most certified people operating it.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Ultrasound Of 20 Weeks]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/ultrasound-of-20-teeks/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Find a letter send to a Bunny, the main contents are following:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As it begins to be a 4:24 a.m. and your mummy is suffering from a little bit of pregnancy insomnia.. so that I'm setting it to effective use by writing you an past due letter regarding our ultrasound a week ago. Lifetime has been quite busy here recently, and sitting yourself down to make has taken a back-seat to home schooling, washables, birthday parties and tasks. So even when I would not ordinarily enjoy becoming wide awake a few hours before I really want to be - if it means that a totally free window of time period to write to my rabbit, I'll get it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Past Monday, Daddy and I went back to the medical center we've moved to sometimes before, in order to have our twenty week degree two ultrasound. The physicians there specialize in high danger pregnancies, particularly once they include mothers of "advanced maternal age." It is astonishing to myself how far technology has can be found in maternal/ fetal medicine even yet in the past 5 years. I understand sometimes technology might be a double edged sword - here have now been instances in earlier pregnancies when I have sensed that learning "too much" in as much as risks go, was not actually a very good thing. However now that we have moved more than risks and are working with some really real available health worries, I am thankful for any kind of knowledge that can assist our doctors be better organized to take good care of both you and me. I know some babies' lives have been saved due to advance skills of certain health issues and issues, and we prefer to be as best prepared since we can to face those and have you any kind of help you need.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">&nbsp; &nbsp;<img alt="" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/MSLVU20.jpg" height="660" width="660" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">sweetest little bunny ever before !!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So.. today I share how the ultrasound went..</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We appeared at our location very early past Monday morning, willing to find a peek at our beautiful child girl once more. Just after a few momemts of waiting (that always appear like forever!) the nurse called us back again to check out weight gain, blood pressure levels, and so on. before moving in to the area where our ultrasound is going to be done.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I need certainly to say right here, that Daddy and I determined very early in this pregnancy to agree with something : we were not going to let fear or worry rob us of some of the pleasure we would encounter during our last pregnancy together. We realized the opportunities getting into this, that generally there will be chromosomal or health problems relevant to our age, but we prayed for several months before conceiving you, that God could offer us the longing of our minds for one last baby. And also when that second little line made an appearance on my pregnancy examination, the morning of our 28th wedding anniversary, we created a pact to see this valuable gift of life lacking any kind of fear. That's not saying there aren't times when the "what-ifs" don't attempt to creep in and take over my brain. However when they do, I tell myself of our choice to - in your daddy's terms - "war versus worry". And also I turn my headaches into wishes for your health and safety and mine, and mend my ideas on what is good and true. And that is this, little bunny rabbit : you tend to be a miracle. My chances of having pregnant at 47 were one per cent every month. I've read adequate posts and stats on women getting pregnant at my age to recognize what a gift and magic I've been provided, and I'm not about to let any worry or doubt rob that gift coming from me. I'm so that grateful for this awesome little current I carry within me, and I'm not letting anything stay in the form of enjoying this final season of my life - you are a true blessing straight from Heaven, and I am so thankful to be your mom.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And I stated exactly what to say, that even if we realized we were at a expert to look for possible issues with this pregnancy, we could possibly not get out of the pleasure we felt at viewing you again. Several people who have stepped in this manner before have provided that they've had the same emotions we did: the sweet thing concerning high risk pregnancies is that you have LOTS of chances to "see" your little one before they are born !</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The specialist who did our scan last week was one who has noticed us years ago.. she is very complete and communicates everything since she views it. Daddy questioned her why she is permitted to publish everything so easily - generally there have been some technicians in our history of ultrasounds who were so close lipped throughout things that we got no concept what they were measuring or looking at This tech mentioned that there were many factors involved in her openness - the primary one to be that this may be a clinic that offers particularly with possible health effects, one where the doctor goes in straight away a short while later you can do her own scan and talk about the results. There is no prepared period, where pictures are transferred to the doctor - she is right here to have a talk with us all about what things they are witnessing, and she is depending mainly on what the technician sees at first, to tell her what is taking place with our baby.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">nice little profile</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Throughout last week's scan we observed the same soft markers for Down symptoms we had viewed before - just one among your kidneys is expanded, which the doctor said will probably deal with itself and not be an issue at birth. Your leg and arm bones are lagging by a single week - every other measuring matched exactly to your gestational age at the moment, of 19 weeks and six days.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The technician obtained a very good appearance at your heart in this instance- she watched four specific chambers, together with quite a few other facts that told us everything appears very good at this time. The blood flow was going in the right path, there were no leading obvious holes, and the nuchal liquid at the back of your head was inside standard range, which means your heart is pumping as it should. The technician recognized that it is a bit raised however- at the high end of "regular", so we can expect to keep an eye on that. I found this facts on the web that describes everything- this quite made me grateful that the technician who saw us is truly a Fetal Echocardiographer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">There are a few answers to this problem which are as follows:</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">1. First-time period Nuchal Translucency Evaluating</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Researchers have claimed an organization between an enhanced nuchal translucency dimension and the improved risk for inborn heart defects. One reason for this organization is that as the blood flow models are modified by the cardiac defect, congestion or other alters come about that shows as an improve in size of the calculated nuchal translucency.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">2. Second-Trimester Hereditary Ultrasound</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This research is practiced between 17 and 20 weeks of pregnancy and finds over 90% of fetuses with heart defects.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">3. Third-Time Period 4D Fetal Heart and Face Screening Plan</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This assessment of the heart happens in the third trimester, between 24 and 32 weeks of pregnancy. This is a unique program created by Dr. DeVore and is practical, mostly for clients that are not able to be mention for 1st trimester nuchal translucency screening or 2nd trimester Genetic Ultrasound , due to the fact it can discover problems of the heart, face, and unusual growth.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What amount of Serious Heart Defects are determined as the Result of an boosted Nuchal Translucency?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the year of 2005 Makrydimas et al posted their results from a pooled database in which the nuchal translucency was calculated during the first-trimester in 637 fetuses with inborn heart problems. The fetuses were separated into two teams; those with unusual chromosomes and those with regular chromosomes. When the nuchal translucency was 3.5 mm or greater, 59% of fetuses with heart problems and abnormal chromosomes were recognized. In the same way, of fetuses with regular chromosomes, 23% with heart issues were recognized due to an increasing nuchal translucency measure.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>umbilical cord mustache, and one small fist by your face</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When the tech turned to the color mode on the ultrasound, which tells the location of the flow of blood, there was a simple moment in time when the red color felt to get across both areas of the heart, instead of remaining distinctly separate. It was just for a second, and the tech stated that this could simply be what is related to as a "color flash"... which means that you may have transferred and the blood flow seemed to be crossing where it shouldn't, when in truth it is only a flash of color on the screen as a result of that action. Nevertheless, she stated to us she would let the doctor understand, and that this may be something they will definitely make note of for our following meeting, when we have a full echo finished on your heart. This will occur in four weeks, when your heart is a lot more fully created - that ultrasound will only look at your heart in more detail, to see whether there are any holes or issues that were too small to be seen formerly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Just after looking at and calculating everything else she required to, our tech noted that the placenta had moved a portion of a centimeter far from my cervix, which was an enhancement. I expected her if this was placenta previa, and she said yes, and hadn't they advised me about this last visit ? I replied no, and replied it was likely a good thing ! (I'm doing perfect in my war against worry, and I perhaps didn't need that news at that point sooner or later. She continued to describe that this is not full placenta previa- the placement is just a little bit covering my cervix right away, but they totally wish it to move upwards as my uterus grows during the rest of my pregnancy. Yech!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Smiling or having a laugh ?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When the scan was completed, our doctor entered to discuss the outcomes and do her own simple scan. We talked-about the placenta, and she discussed that they like it to be not less than 1.7 centimeters away from the cervix at delivery - if it's not at all, then a c-section is needed. Nevertheless, there is even a great deal of time for my uterus to develop and extend, which will (ideally) move the placenta with it. I have did not had this before, and yet the doctor said that nearly all of the time it performs move enough - except if it is totally covering the cervix, which mine is not really. Just something else for all of us to hope about, but I really am not afraid.. we've observed God do much bigger miracles than moving a placenta over a small number of centimeters.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The rest of the ultrasound was spent talking about where I am going to bring you, small bunny... but it was a very long conversation, and this letter is currently dealing with be long, so I will save it for yet another post.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Rest ensured although, dad and the physicians and I are going to do every little thing we can to create the best choices we can for your wellbeing and security. We are SO in deep love with you previously, Bunny, and we have never held you still- I can't wait to notice this gorgeous face in person in just several months..</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Love you forever to the moon and back, Madison Faith.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">All my love,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Remember me? I got a call from you when we considered our Koralyn had AV canal and DS. She was later diagnosed with HLHS. We are now hoping for sweet Karis Mabel later this month. She has displayed soft markers and may possibly have Coarctation of the Aorta. I am grateful you are fighting towards worry and fear and trustful God. We are trying to do the same thing there. Prayers and prefer to you mama.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It's been very long since I've received mixed up on your blog. Prayers for peace and a healthy, uneventful pregnancy. You look completely beautiful. You certainly glow pregnant!</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[An Ovarian Cysts Verified By Ultrasound Scan]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/an-ovarian-cysts-verified-by-ultrasound-scan/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">In reality, an aberration recognized as a tumor is a liquid stuffed sac. Abnormal growths establish in quite a few places in your body. With terms of the sorts of cysts; the real liquid indoors cysts can differ from slim and wet to thick not negrelecting paste-like. Some developments use a thicker hard outside part.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cysts over the ovary are exceedingly typical. Most ovarian growths are usually benign (non-cancerous) but a number of are cancer tumors and may become malicious after a while. Ovarian growths may alter in sizes -as a result of under the size of a pea to the form a significant large melon vine (in some instances also bigger).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Ovary Show</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img alt="" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/_-1.jpg" height="659" width="659" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The majority of the ovarian cysts lead entirely no signs, many unnatural growths are commonly medically determined through chance. Very good example, one way is through a regimen evaluation, or even in the occasion that you have a check of an ultrasound exam. When you have signals of the cyst on ovary your clinical doctor might analyze the belly alongside play the evaluation of vaginal (inside). He or she may possibly make it to feel a great unusual inflammation which will be a cyst.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So a scan of ultrasound can tell you whether you have an ovarian cyst or not. An ultrasound check will obviously be a safe and pain-free examine which has waves to get photos about bodily organs and also many tissues on the inside of your body. The specified probe with the scanning system can be put on your own belly to handle to ultrasound scan the proper sex gland. A very tiny probe will be often placed within the genital area to manage to check the proper ovaries to find excess detailed photos. You physician could also have a test about blood. Your own trained will certainly guide on the very best way.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A few tiny ovarian unpleasant growths will solve and fade away over a few weeks. You might be guided to have a duplicated ultrasound test check within simply the calendar month approximately. If the cyst(s) disappears after that, simply no even more action is required.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Getting rid of a cyst on an ovary can be suggested, specially if you have got signs or if the cyst is big adequately. Occasionally the expert may love to remove it to find out the reality particularly which type of cysts it quite is and ensure that there isn't any most cancerous tissue internally. A large part of smaller cysts are easy to clear away with a laparoscopic surgery. A small number of growths need a more traditional design treatment.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">◆ Ovarian cancer and fibroids' detection</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">◆ Placenta's localization</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">◆ Perform automatically intrauterine fetal film "photo" and dynamic video, or real-time moving images of human internal organs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span>High-definition quality of image, a "Cinema 4D" for expectant mothers</span></span></span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Four-Dimensional Black and White Ultrasound diagnostic devices can perform intrauterine fetal film "photo" and dynamic video automatically, added peace of mind and taste for many mothers in daily.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">They are really no more just feel the baby's breathing and movement, and can observe their every move and clever show. More to the point, the four-dimension super-capable observation of fetal growth and development multi-faceted and multi-angle, early analysis congenital heart illness and inborn malformations surface to provide valid scientific basis. Previous B-Ultrasound device can only just check the physiological parameters of the foetus, and the four-dimensional black and white ultrasound can over the surface of the fetus and can be examined , including cleft lip, spina bifida, brain, kidney, heart, skeletal dysplasia, to be able to be dealt with as quickly as possible. In order to birth to a smart and healthy baby, and the appearance of baby and made into a motion picture or VCD, in order that the baby has the most complete albums when 0 years, this has been It is not any longer a dream.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: medium;"><strong>Characteristics</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;"><span><span>Four-dimensional black and white ultrasound</span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Four-dimensional black and white ultrasound is the world's most ultra-advanced black and white ultrasound equipment, and it offers including abdominal, vascular, small parts, obstetrics, gynecology, urology, neonatal and pediatric and other places of lots of applications the outcome is : it can show dynamic moving images of your unborn baby's real-time, or other inner organs of the human body in real-time moving image.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;"><span><span>Four-dimensional ultrasound advantages</span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Four-dimensional black and white ultrasound not any longer just feel the baby's breathing and movement, but can witness their every move and clever show. Even more important, the four-dimensional black and white ultrasound can be make a multi-faceted, multi- angle observation of fetal growth and development, for the beginning diagnosis of fetal congenital heart disease and congenital malformations surface to provide accurate scientific basis. Past B-device can only check the physiological specifications of the fetus, but likewise on the four-dimensional ultrasound fetal surface inspection, such as for instance cleft lip, spina bifida, brain, kidney, heart, skeletal dysplasia, in order to really be treated as soon as possible, give birth to a smart and healthy baby can intrauterine four-dimensional ultrasound images, in order that mothers see the baby's every move intrauterine, lived through the baby's voice and facial appearance! And four-dimensional black and white ultrasound can perform intrauterine dynamic four-dimensional ultrasound baby burn DVD as baby aged 0 photo! Long lasting memento!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;"><span><span>Best time of Four Dimensional Ultrasound</span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Do four-dimensional ultrasound - the best time for personal is different. The results do four-dimensional ultrasound's different needs resulting pregnancy are likely to be different in general can be separated into three phases: period of pre-pregnancy (January - March), the second trimester (3 - June), the third trimester. (June - October) out of these three periods based on four-dimensional ultrasound effect is unique.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">That the best time to do four-dimensional ultrasound is the months of pregnant 5-8 (20-28 weeks), because this time the fetus's body and significant organs have all been developed, and more best suited to do the amniotic fluid fetal malformation screening of pregnant women but specific differences, individual specific time please also get in touch with your doctor, arranged by your doctor.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1. Sign baby body: this time you can choose to do prepossession of four-dimensional ultrasound, this time period the baby is still tiny, through the instrument body can enlighten the baby, it is value reminding that from January to February is not suggested to do four-dimensional ultrasound this pregnancy do four-dimensional controversial.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. If you wish to troubleshoot your baby extrinsic defects: this time you can choose the second trimester or third trimester of pregnancy to do four-dimensional ultrasound check, this time your baby has a certain development, depending on the baby's body has been difficult , and yet to observe a baby morphological site.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. R​​ole of four-dimensional ultrasound</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Broadly used in clinical or ultrasound B-ultrasound although it can be decided whether or not the normal fetal development, but just medical professionals can realize, four-dimensional ultrasound diagnostic setup can perform automatically in intrauterine fetal film "photo" and dynamic video, for the many mothers added good sentiment, instrument using four-dimensional ultrasound-called 'four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound diagnostic apparatus', this system can receive real-time three-dimensional image provided such as abdominal, vascular, small parts, obstetrics, gynecology, urology, neonatal and pediatrics a wide range of applications in many fields.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;"><span><span>Three dimensional &amp; Four dimensional</span></span></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Three-dimensional ultrasound and 4D ultrasound image is generated by the late, actually, do not to say that the observed image is three-dimensional or four-dimensional, but still use typical ultrasonography, and then through the device software to change the observed images into three-dimensional plane four-dimensional stereoscopic image, put it more bluntly, if your home computer installed with the similar software, you can turn ordinary B-picture yourself at home in a body set up conversion in the sense of diagnosis, three- dimensional ultrasound, super-dimensional diagnosis no more favorable place, but do not know how B-mode images of people can see the appearance of it. Their meaning is that you can see the appearance of the baby still in the womb.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Show of 3D ultrasound MSLpu24</span></strong></span></em><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>&nbsp;</em> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img alt="" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/MSLPU24-ultrasound-machine.jpg" height="505" width="505" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The distinction between three-dimensional and four-dimensional ultrasound is that in a "time dimension", that is, three-dimensional is picture, but a four-dimensional is video, you can make the pregnant mother to see a series of operations made by the baby.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In a word, dynamic for four-dimensional, three-dimensional is static, so the four-dimensional look more clear and lucid, three-dimensional ultrasound is only photograph on a point in time, four-dimensional can be made of as DV continuously , or you can create a CD, which can be more meaningful in your life.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Guide To Color Ultrasound Clinical Application</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Vascular disease</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Using 10MHz high frequency probe can be found the range of classifications within the blood vessels less than 1mm.<br />For Carotid Arteriosclerosis Occlusive Disease, Color Ultrasound was proved the better diagnostic value, which can also take advantage of an enlarged blood analyzer determines the degree of luminal emboli whether there is an ulcer, prevention of cerebral embolism likely to fall off.<br />Color Ultrasound for all types of the arteriovenous can be described as the best diagnostic method, when the probe into the multicolored mosaic annular color spectrum can be confirmed.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Abdominal organs</span></strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Color Ultrasound be used in the liver and kidneys mainly, but for discriminating benign and malignant lesions in the abdominal cavity, gallbladder and large polyps, chronic inflammation heavier identification, common bile duct, the difference between the hepatic artery and other diseases have a certain diagnostic value.<br />For liver cirrhosis from various vascular ultrasound lumen size, internal velocity speed, direction and the establishment of collateral circulation, Color Ultrasound applied can ensure better judgments.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Heart</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Using real time volume imaging, the Color Ultrasound visually display complex cardiac anatomy, accurate assessment of cardiac function. And for cardiac surgery, offers important information imaging. Obtain accurate three-dimensional image, blood and spatial anatomical relationship to provide intuitive information on surgical repair surgery.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Prostate and seminal vesicles</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Maybe Rectal Probe is the best way to diagnose prostate cancer currently, so this probe is a special one. The probe can detect prostate transition zone, the central zone and the area surrounding.<br />However, Rectal Probe be good used in various diseases like prostate seminal and vesicle. In our country, especially in the incidence of prostate cancer is rising, while the abdominal exploratory simply can not make a diagnosis, it is recommended to use rectal clinical diagnosis.</p>

      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/in-what-way-ultrasound-acts/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">A fundamental ultrasound machine offers the next areas:</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* Transducer probe - probe in which} sends and obtains the sound waves<br />* Central processing unit (CPU) or key handing part pc that performs almost all of the measurements and includes the energy power <br />* Provides for itselves and the transducer probe<br />* Transducer impulse manages - alters the shift, regularity and length of the pulses released coming from the transducer probe<br />* Present - shows the graphics coming from the ultrasound facts manufactured simply by the CPU<br />* Keyboard / cursor - inputs info and will take dimensions after the screen<br />* Disk storage space tool (hard, floppy, disc) - shops the obtained photos<br />* Large printer - prints the graphics from the shown facts</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The transducer probe is the primary character of the ultrasound machine. The transducer probe will make the sound waves and gets the echoes. It really is, so that to communicate, the mouth area and ear canals of the ultrasound device (hand-held ultrasound). The transducer probe produces and accepts sound waves making use of a standard known as the piezoelectric (stress electricity) result, which was noticed by Pierre and Jacques Curie in 1880. In the probe, generally there are one or a lot more mineral crystals labeled as piezoelectric crystals. As soon as an electric stream is utilized to these types of crystals, they alter shape speedily. The quick form alters, or vibrations, of the crystals generate sound waves that move to the outside. Alternatively, whenever sound or pressure level waves struck the crystals, they produce electrical currents. For that reason, the exact same crystals can easily be applied to deliver and receive sound waves. The probe even has a sound taking in material to remove straight back reflections from the probe itself, and also an acoustic lens towards assist focus the released sound waves.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong><a href="http://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/high-quality-wireless-array-probe-scanner-mslpu31.html">Transducer probes</a></strong></em> appear in lots of forms and models, as displayed in the photo described. The form of the probe decides its area of view, and also the frequency of released sound waves establishes exactly how deep the sound waves insert and the resolution of the graphics. Transducer probes may possibly include more than one crystal aspects; in many-element probes, every crystal has its very routine. Numerous-element probes have the benefit that the ultrasounc ray can be "steered" by switching the timing in which each factor gets pulsed; directing the ray is specially crucial for heart ultrasound (see Basic Principles of Ultrasound for details on transducers). As well as probes that can easily be transferred throughout the surface of the body, a few probes are created to be placed through various- openings of the body (vagina, rectum, esophagus) so that that they can get nearer to the organ being analyzed (uterus, prostate gland, stomach); achieving much closer to the organ can permit for more detailed views.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">The components of an ultrasound machine</span></strong></span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><br />The CPU is the head of the ultrasound machine. The CPU is essentially a computer system that includes the microprocessor, memory space, amplifiers and power provides for the microprocessor and transducer probe. The CPU delivers electrical currents to the transducer probe to give off sound waves, and in addition obtains the electrical pulses from the probes that were developed from the coming back echoes. The CPU really does all of the measurements involved in handling the info. Just after the natural facts are prepared, the CPU types the image on the monitor. The CPU can also keep the handled files or image on disk.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The transducer pulse manages let the operator, named the ultrasonographer, in order to set and transform the regularity and length of the ultrasound pulses, as well as the scan form of the equipment. The commands from the driver are converted into altering electric currents that are used to the piezoelectric crystals in the transducer probe.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Black and white four-dimensional ultrasound</strong>, is currently the world's most advanced black and white ultrasound equipment, <a href="http://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/4d-ultrasound-machines"><strong>4D Ultrasound technology</strong></a> is the use of 3D ultrasound images plus time dimension parameters, can obtain three-dimensional images in real time, it provides including abdominal, vascular, small parts, obstetrics, gynecology, a wide range of applications in urology, neonatal and pediatric and other areas, it is possible to display your unborn baby's real-time dynamic moving images, or other internal organs of the human body in real-time moving image.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Description of Four - dimensional black and white ultrasound</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Four - dimensional black and white ultrasound is 4D imaging technology (4D), can be intuitive, three-dimensional display three-dimensional structure and dynamics of human organs, real-time observation of three-dimensional structure, while the conventional two-dimensional imaging techniques can only show a certain aspect of human organs. In terms of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the four-dimensional black and white ultrasound capable of fetal ultrasound examination of the fetus can stereoscopic display color, surface, each organ's development, even the fetus in the womb of the state can also be observed; fetal malformations, such as cleft lip, cleft palate , skeletal dysplasia, early diagnosis of cardiovascular malformations.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img alt="" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/img0.jpg" height="414" width="552" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Mothers during 24-30 weeks to do the best Four - dimensional black and white ultrasound.</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Compared to other 3D Ultrasound diagnostic procedures, 4D Ultrasound so that the doctor can observe real-time dynamic movement of human internal organs. A model example be given is that doctor can judge them base on the observation of three-dimensional planar motion of the needle can improve the accuracy of ultrasound-guided biopsy. So clinicians and doctors Ultrasound can detect and find a variety of abnormalities, from vascular malformations to hereditary syndrome.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What I am going to share is that, 50B is a complete ultrasound system, can be used for breast imaging, interventional urology and general medical imaging. As a complete ultrasound equipment used to carry out the following research:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">◆ Determination of Fetal Age</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">◆ Analysis of fetal development</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">◆ detect fetal abnormalities</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">◆ detection of structural abnormalities of the uterus</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">◆ detect placental abnormalities</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">◆ detection of abnormal bleeding</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">◆ detect ectopic pregnancy and other abnormal pregnancy</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">◆ detection of ovarian cancer and fibroma</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">◆ placenta Location</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">◆ can automatically intrauterine fetal shoot "photo" and dynamic video, or real-time moving images of human internal organs</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><b>High quality image, the mothers&rsquo; "Cinema 4D"</b></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Four-dimensional black and white ultrasound diagnostic apparatus can automatically intrauterine for fetal shoot "photo" and dynamic video, for many mothers added peace of mind and taste.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">They no longer just feel the baby's breathing and movement, but also can witness their every move and clever face. More importantly, the four-dimensional ultrasound capable multi-faceted, multi-angle observation of fetal growth and development, in order to provide accurate scientific basis for early diagnosis of fetal congenital surface deformities and congenital heart disease. Past B ultrasound device can only check the physiological indicators of the fetus, and the four-dimensional black and white ultrasound, the fetal surface can be checked, such as cleft lip, spina bifida, brain, kidney, heart, skeletal dysplasia, in order to be treated as soon as possible. Birth to a smart and healthy baby, and the baby's appearance and actions made into a photo or VCD, so that the baby has the most complete albums even from 0 years, this is no longer a fantasy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, due to the excellent ergonomic design of four-dimensional black and white ultrasound diagnostic, radiation rays, electromagnetic waves and other aspects do not exist, there is no impact on human health. Four-dimension black and white ultrasound can show real-time dynamic moving images of the unborn baby. Compared with other 3D ultrasound diagnostic procedures, 4D ultrasound makes the doctor can observe real-time dynamic motion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img alt="" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/_-2.png" height="623" width="623" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;"><b>Advantages of Four-dimensional black and white ultrasound</b></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Four-dimensional black and white ultrasound provides abdominal, vascular, small parts, obstetrics, gynecology, urology, neonatal and pediatric and other areas of many applications. As a result: the ability to display your unborn baby's real-time dynamic moving images, or other internal organs of the human body in real-time moving image.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Compared with other ultrasonic diagnostic process, 4D black and white ultrasound can detect dynamic movement of human internal organs intime, so that Clinicians and Ultrasound doctor can detect and find a variety of abnormalities, from vascular malformations to hereditary syndrome. Four Dimensional black and white ultrasound can multi-faceted, multi-angle observation of fetal growth and development, early to provide accurate scientific basis for the diagnosis of fetal congenital surface deformities and congenital heart disease.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As we know the past B ultrasound device can only check the physiological indicators of the fetus, and the four-dimensional black and white ultra-fetal can check the surface, such as cleft lip, spina bifida, brain, kidney, heart, skeletal dysplasia, in order to be treated as soon as possible. For the hope of birth to a smart and healthy baby, this is no longer a fantasy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, because of the excellent ergonomics of four-dimensional black and white ultrasound diagnostic apparatus, there is no radiation rays, electromagnetic waves and other aspects do harm on human health.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span>Three-dimensional ultrasound</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">First talk about Three-Dimensional Ultrasound</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A <a href="http://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/preferential-now-2016-latest-cheap-3d-laptop-ultrasound-machine-mslpu34.html">Three-Dimensional Ultrasound</a> belonging of one Color Doppler Ultrasound, Three-Dimensional Ultrasound is a dynamic display. And the superiority of Three-Dimensional Ultrasound including uterine artery, ovarian blood flow sensitivity, display rate; shorten the examination time, to obtain an accurate Doppler spectrum; without filling the bladder, not obese, abdominal scars, intestine inflatable interference; activities by means of the probe tip to find the site of pelvic organ tenderness determine whether pelvic adhesion.<br /><br />Three-Dimensional Ultrasound imaging surface for obstetric examination, fetal growth can be observed not only the process, but you can check the changes in the placenta, amniotic fluid and umbilical cord. More importantly, it can be used as the primary means of diagnosis of fetal malformations.<br /><br />Due to the large organizational structure and liquid gray contrast, it can clearly show the three-dimensional shape of a suspicious structure, surface characteristics, spatial relationship to provide three-dimensional images of the fetus within the uterus. Reconstruction include surface imaging, transparent imaging and multidimensional imaging mode.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/3d---222.jpg" height="525" width="740" /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;">SecondlyThree-Dimensional Ultrasound features</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Increase coronal images based on the two-dimensional image on reservations; three-dimensional positioning, axial adjustment, the three ABC axial plane can be adjusted until the optimum image; three-dimensional imaging, dynamic and intuitive; real-time dynamic observation of the fetal head, the body surface and visceral activities, the image is clear accurate and reliable; cutting function, can keep the image focus; cut out unwanted part of the suspicious sites displaying three-dimensional reconstruction; the rotation function, multifaceted observation; with front and rear, left and right, up and down 360 &deg; rotation, the image is different orientations comprehensive observation; to the fetus great pictures, record changes in the expression and burn a disc as data retention, aside for a permanent memorial; and to display three-dimensional relationship and adjacent relationship between the different levels of the lesion included.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Four-dimensional ultrasound</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Four-Dimensional Color Ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus is the world's most advanced color ultrasound equipment now. &ldquo;4D&rdquo; is a &ldquo;four-dimensional&rdquo; acronym. The fourth dimension is the time of this vector. For ultrasonic is, 4D ultrasound technology is newly developed technology, but also Canada's exclusive technology winning. 4D ultrasound technology is the use of 3D ultrasound images plus time dimension parameters. This revolutionary technology can obtain real-time three-dimensional images, beyond the limitations of traditional ultrasound. It offers including abdominal, vascular, small parts, obstetrics, gynecology, urology, neonatal and pediatric and other areas of many applications. As a result: the ability to display your unborn baby's real-time dynamic moving images, or other internal organs of the human body in real-time moving image.<br /><br />Compared with other 3D Ultrasound Diagnostic procedures, 4D Ultrasound so that the doctor can observe real-time dynamic movement of human internal organs.<br />For example: a doctor can be judged according to fetal movement fetal development, through the observation of three-dimensional planar motion of the needle can improve the accuracy of ultrasound-guided biopsy. So clinicians and doctors Ultrasound can detect and detection of anomalies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br />In a word, Four-Dimensional Ultrasound is a complete ultrasound system, which can be used for breast imaging, intervention urology and general medical imaging. As a complete ultrasound equipment Four-dimensional ultrasound used to carry out the following research: Determination of Fetal Age; Analysis of fetal development; Evaluation of multiple births or/and high-risk pregnancies; detect fetal abnormalities; detection of structural abnormalities of the uterus; detect placental abnormalities; detection of abnormal bleeding; detect ectopic pregnancy and other abnormal pregnancy; detection of ovarian cancer, fibroid and placenta Location.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><br /><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Mothers' 4D&nbsp;Cinema</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Moreover, because of the high-definition image quality,&nbsp;Four-Dimensional Color Ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus can achive&nbsp;mother's 4D&nbsp;Cinema.&nbsp;Four-Dimensional Color Ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus can automatically intrauterine fetal shoot &ldquo;photo&rdquo; and dynamic video, for many mothers added peace of mind and taste. Which means, for many pregnant mothers, they no longer just feel the baby's breathing and movement, but also can witness their every move and clever show content. More importantly, the four-dimensional ultrasound can be multifaceted, multidimensional observation of fetal growth and development, in order to provide accurate scientific basis for early diagnosis of fetal congenital surface deformities and congenital heart disease. Past B-device can only check the physiological indicators of the fetus, while the four-dimensional ultrasound fetal surface can be checked, such as cleft lip, brain, kidney, heart, skeletal dyspepsia, etc. (requires good fetal position), in order to as soon as possible for treatment. Birth to a smart and healthy baby, and the baby's appearance and actions made into a photo or VCD, so that the baby has the most complete albums when 0 year, which is no longer a fantasy nowadays.<br /><br />In addition, the four-dimensional color ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus do excellent ergonomic design, radiation rays, electromagnetic waves and other aspects do not exist, what&rsquo;s more, there is no harmful on human health.</p>]]></description>

      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/high-quality-color-ultrasound-served-by-msl/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Aim to supply cheap medical equipment with good service in the same Medical level. MSL, Guangzhou Medsinglong Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. have been preparing serve you Specialized Medical Color Ultrasound Machine.<br />For example, HQ Color Diagnostic Ultrasound System MSLPU32 is intended for use in clinical ultrasonic diagnosis. Today we can find cheap HQ Color Diagnostic Ultrasound System MSLPU32 for you, factory direct Clinical Color Diagnostic Ultrasound MSLPU32. If such a Color Ultrasound can not meet your needs, just see other Color Ultrasound Equipment such as MSLCU25, MSLCU27, <a href="http://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/advanced-4d-color-doppler-ultrasound-diagnostic-imaging-system-mslcu28.html"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;">MSLCU28</span></span></a>, MSLPU32, MSLPU22 and MSLVU02 for different range application.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;"><strong>Following the more details about Color Ultrasound:</strong></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>What's Color Ultrasound</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Color Ultrasound simply means that the high resolution black and white B Ultrasound plus color Doppler, first talk about the ultrasonic frequency shift diagnostic method, namely D ultrasound, Doppler effect principle of this method, when the sound source and the receiver (i.e. when there is relative motion between the probe and reflector), echo frequency change, change this frequency is called frequency shift, D Ultrasound including pulse Doppler, continuous Doppler and color Doppler flow image. Currently, Color Ultrasound is the development direction of B-ultrasound within the medical field color Ultrasound.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Color Ultrasound Features</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/advanced-4d-color-doppler-ultrasound-diagnostic-imaging-system-mslcu28.html">Color Doppler Ultrasound</a>, for its Doppler signal processing is typically performed using an auto-correlation technique, the Doppler signals obtained from the related art after the color coded real-time ultrasound device superimposed on the two-dimensional image, that the formation of color Doppler ultrasound blood flow images. Thus, color Doppler (as color ultrasound) has the advantage of both the structure of two-dimensional ultrasound images, but also provides a wealth of information on the Hemodynamics, practical application has been widely appreciated and welcomed, known clinically &ldquo;Non-invasive Angiography&rdquo;.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/mslcu28-ultrasound-machine.jpg" /></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Color Ultrasound Main Advantages</span></strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Under wide advantages of color ultrasound, its main predominant functions are complete eight aspects, they are:<br />Color Ultrasound can quickly visualize the distribution of blood flow in the two-dimensional plane; display the running direction of blood flow; conducive to distinguish arteries and veins; beneficial to identify vascular disease and non-vascular lesions; beneficial to understand the nature of the blood flow; can easily understand the bloodstream phase and speed; reliably find diversion and regurgitation; and on the origins of blood flow can beam, width, length, area of quantitative analysis.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When we talk about related technology, the color ultrasound, which is used in ultrasound pulse, when the detected object speed is too high, the color of color flow will occur error, the quantitative analysis was significantly inferior to the spectral Doppler, color Doppler ultrasound now has spectral Doppler function, namely--color duplex (doppler) Ultrasound.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Next the Color Doppler Ultrasound(CDF), also known as Color Doppler Ultrasound Imaging (CDI), sources of information it obtains and echo Doppler spectrum consistent with the distribution and direction of blood flow showed a two-dimensional display, different speeds in different colors to be distinguished. Duplex Doppler ultrasound system, which is a B-mode ultrasound image shows the location of the blood vessel. Doppler measurements of blood flow, this combination of B mode and Doppler systems can more precisely locate any particular blood vessel.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">I. Direction of blood flow</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the spectral Doppler display to zero baseline distinguish direction of blood flow. Above the zero baseline represents blood flow to the probe, the following were shown zero baseline blood flow far from the transducer.<br />In the CDI, a color-coded represent of blood flow direction, red or yellow chromatogram represent blood flow probe (hot color); and blue or blue-green blood chromatogram represent blood displaced probe</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">II. &nbsp;Intraluminal vascular CDI blood flow show</span></strong>, </span>and thus belong to the flow channel-type display, it can not display the vessel wall and the outer membrane</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>III. Identification of the type of</strong> </span></span>vascular nodules with CDI vascular liver nodules can be classified. Distinguish vascular around its periphery to the inner edge of the curved section of vascular. Inflow vascular nodules, nodules inside the blood vessels and other vessels and nodules outflow.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">(More details about Doppler ultrasound imaging see MSL Color Doppler Flow Imaging Machine)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Due to its advanced and multifunctional technology applied, and Color Ultrasound made a great influence in Clinical application as well. more Clinical application details see other related articles.</p>]]></description>

      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/introductions-of-ultrasound-machine/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Ultrasound Introduction</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As we known before, the causing fluctuations in the human auditory organ is called the acoustic sound perception, the human ear's hearing threshold range, the vibration frequency of 16kHz-20kHz, exceeding the upper limit of human hearing threshold of sound waves, that is greater than 20kHz sound waves called ultrasound, referred to as ultrasound, clinical ultrasound frequency commonly used in 2-10MHz.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From the angle of the development of ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, through the A, M-type and B-type ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, now B-type ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes not only the A, M-type functions, also contains a two-dimensional color Doppler imaging, three-dimensional imaging and other functions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Ultrasound Classification</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>&middot; &nbsp;</strong>According to the grade into Black and White, False Color and Color Doppler Ultrasound.<br /><strong>&middot; &nbsp;</strong>According to obtain information space is divided into One-Dimensional, Two-Dimensional, Three-Dimensional, Four-Dimensional Ultrasound Devices.<br /><strong>&middot;</strong>&nbsp; According to the image display is divided into A, M-type, B-type, 2B type, B + M type, 4B type, D-type, in addition to A and D, the other belongs to a broad range of B type, is B-Ultrasound.<br /><strong>&middot; &nbsp;</strong>Use is divided into Cardiac-Specific, Dedicated Obstetrics and Gynecology, Abdominal Special, Dedicated Urology, Ophthalmology Special.<br /><strong>&middot; &nbsp;</strong>According to shape into a type of Hand-Held, Laptop, Portable, etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;<img alt="" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/mslpu32.jpg" height="579" width="579" /></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: medium;"><strong>B-Mode Ultrasound&nbsp;Diagnosis</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">B type (brightness mode) <a href="http://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/hq-color-diagnostic-ultrasound-system-mslpu32.html">ultrasound diagnostics</a>: Genus luminance modulation type, referred to as B-type (B-mode) or B ultrasound, is the echo signal to the spot light and shade, namely gray (gray scale) in the form displayed. Echo signal light spot on the light, the echo signal weak light on the dark point, no echo signal forming dark area, the echo signal from the point, the line to be probed surface structural parts of the two-dimensional tomographic image or a developing section, also known as ultrasonic tomography was like the diagnostic method or section developing method, this image says Sonographic (sonogram).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This method is fast imaging, which can show animal internal organs and diseased section image immediately, which can make static observation (such as the liver, spleen, kidney, uterus, abdominal tumor observation and analysis), but also for the dynamic observation (such as the heart, the fetus was observed). Like using a non-invasive, bloodless &ldquo;scalpel&rdquo; to cut layers of organs were observed, which is difficult to achieve other observation methods.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Although the X-ray CT has this ability, but because of its expensive equipment, not widely used. B ultrasound compared with the X-ray CT, not only low prices, but also intuitive and strong for people use in lives, moreover, the technology is simple and easy to master. So in recent years, ultrasound tomography technology to become the most active fertile, the fastest growing a diagnostic technology.</p>]]></description>

      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/basic-understanding-of-ultrasound/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Sound waves are mechanical vibrations in an elastic medium spread, due to the different ways of vibration and transmission, it can be divided into many types. Of which the most important are longitudinal wave, shear wave, wave and so on. By shock waves in different ways it can be divided into continuous wave and pulsed wave. Medicine for diagnostic ultrasound is a longitudinal wave.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img alt="" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/20140211-2.jpg" height="479" width="548" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>Due to vibration of different frequencies produce different frequencies of sound waves. When the vibration frequency range is 20-20000Hz, the human ear can hear the vibration frequency (number of vibrations per second) in 20000Hz (Hz) or more, the human ear can not hear, this time claiming to produce ultrasound, referred to as ultrasound. But lower than 20HZ human ear can not hear sound waves, then called&nbsp;infra sound, little medical value.<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><br /></span>Ultrasound and acoustic vibrations are spread in the elastic medium, it is a mechanical pressure waves. With this launch ultrasonic vibrations to the body, when the ultrasonic encounter two different densities of interface organs or organ and lesions interface, it can be reflected back, take advantage of this situation reflected signals or diseased organ to judge, we called it ultrasonography.<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><br /></span>While for Ultrasound, which refers to the causes fluctuations in the human auditory organ, the human ear's hearing threshold range, the vibration frequency of 16kHz-20kHz, exceeding the upper limit of human hearing threshold of sound waves, that is greater than 20kHz sound waves called ultrasound, referred to as ultrasound, clinical ultrasound frequency commonly used in 2-10MHz.<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><br /></span>From the angle of the development of ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, through the A, M-type and B-type ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, now B-type ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes not only the A, M-type functions, also contains a two-dimensional color Doppler imaging, three-dimensional imaging and other functions.<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><img alt="" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/DA1A_3VVRLF7_Z_7Q_V_0C4.jpg" height="497" width="516" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>According to differ applications, <a href="http://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/all-ultrasound-machines">Ultrasound Classification</a> has been divided in different ranges. First, according to the grade into black and white super, false color and color Doppler ultrasound. Second according to obtain information space is divided into one-dimensional, two-dimensional, three-dimensional, four-dimensional devices. Next according to the image display is divided into A, M-type, B-type, 2B type, B + M type, 4B type, D-type, in addition to A and D, the other belongs to a broad range of B type, is B-Ultrasound. Forth, use is divided into cardiac-specific, dedicated obstetrics and gynecology, abdominal special, dedicated urology, ophthalmology special. And according to shape into a hand-held, laptop or portable, etc.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[More Close To 4D Ultrasound Machine Era]]></title>
      <link>https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/blog/more-close-to-4D-ultrasound-machine-era/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Did you once lost in what&rsquo;s 4D Ultrasound or 4D Ultrasound Machine?<br />Whatever, let&rsquo;s learn some details of 4D Ultrasound Function Machines right now, and more close to 4D Ultrasound machine Era.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Primary Information of Four-Dimensional Ultrasound</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Four-Dimensional Color Ultrasonic Diagnostic Apparatus is the world's most advanced color ultrasound equipment nowadays.&nbsp;&ldquo;Four-dimensional&rdquo;&nbsp;which is also known as&nbsp;&ldquo;4D&rdquo;. For&nbsp;ultrasonic&nbsp;is, 4D ultrasound technology is newly developed technology, but also Canada's exclusive technology winning. 4D ultrasound technology is the use of 3D ultrasound images plus time dimension parameters. This revolutionary technology can obtain real-time three-dimensional images, beyond the limitations of traditional ultrasound.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Moreover, it offers us real-time moving image including abdominal, vascular, small parts, obstetrics, gynecology, urology, neonatal and pediatric and other areas of many applications. As a result: the ability to display your unborn baby's real-time dynamic moving images, or other internal organs of the human body.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Compared with other 3D ultrasound diagnostic procedures, once 4D ultrasound applied, the doctor can observe real-time dynamic movement of human internal organs. For example: a doctor can be judged according to fetal movement fetal development, through the observation of three-dimensional planar motion of the needle can improve the accuracy of ultrasound-guided biopsy. So clinicians and doctors Ultrasound can detect and detection of anomalies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In summary, <a href="http://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/economic-style-full-digital-trolley-color-doppler-mslcu30.html">Four-Dimensional Ultrasound</a> is a complete ultrasound system, which can be used for breast imaging,&nbsp;intervention&nbsp;urology and general medical imaging etc.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img alt="" src="https://www.ultrasoundmsl.com/media/wysiwyg/mslcu30.jpg" height="651" width="651" /></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Four-Dimensional Ultrasound used to carry out the following research:</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">&nbsp; &nbsp;</span> ※ &nbsp;Determination of Fetal Age;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; ※ &nbsp;Analysis of fetal development;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; ※ &nbsp;Evaluation of multiple births and high-risk pregnancies;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; ※ &nbsp;Detect fetal abnormalities;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; ※ &nbsp;Detection of structural abnormalities of the uterus;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; ※ &nbsp;Placental abnormalities;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; ※ &nbsp;Detection of abnormal bleeding;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; ※ &nbsp;Detect&nbsp;ectopic&nbsp;pregnancy and other abnormal pregnancy;<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; ※ &nbsp;Detection of ovarian cancer and&nbsp;fibroid&nbsp;and placenta Location etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Due to the above High-definition image qualities, the mother of&nbsp;&ldquo;Cinema 4D&rdquo;, as Four-Dimensional Color Ultrasonic Diagnostic Apparatus can automatically intrauterine fetal shoot&nbsp;&ldquo;photo&rdquo;&nbsp;and dynamic video for many pregnant mothers. Of which means that they no longer just feel the baby's breathing and movement, but also can witness their every move and clever show content. More importantly, the Four-Dimensional Ultrasound can be&nbsp;multifaceted,&nbsp;multi-angle&nbsp;observation of fetal growth and development, in order to provide accurate scientific basis for early diagnosis of fetal congenital surface deformities and congenital heart disease<span style="font-size: medium;">.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Past B-Ultrasound device can only check the physiological indicators of the fetus, while the four-dimensional ultrasound fetal surface can be checked, such as cleft lip,&nbsp;spin&nbsp;bighead, brain, kidney, heart, skeletal&nbsp;dyspepsia, etc. (requires good fetal position), in order to get a treatment as soon as possible. Birth to a smart and healthy baby, and the baby's appearance and actions made into a photo or VCD, so that the baby has the most complete albums when zero year, which is no longer a fantasy nowadays.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, Four-Dimensional Color Ultrasonic Diagnostic Apparatus do an excellent ergonomic design, radiation rays, electromagnetic waves and other aspects do not exist, what&rsquo;s more, there is no harmful on human health to use Four-Dimensional Color Ultrasonic Diagnostic Apparatus according to experts.</p>
