Ultrasound

Tara is a 28yo, G4 P2012, who was seen for an ultrasound evaluation and to set-up PNC. She has had limited PNC and has not had an ultrasound and is uncertain of her LMP. She believes that it was in June and she was having regular cycles but again is not certain. She overall denies any problems with the pregnancy to date. She does have a longstanding history of opiate abuse and has been using 2-4 mg of Suboxone off the street recently. She does have some issues with depression and anxiety but…

26-year-old woman, gravida 3 para 2002, with an Implanon in place for 29 months, presented with a chief complaint of cessation of menses and a positive home pregnancy test. A viable singleton intrauterine pregnancy was confirmed via transvaginal ultrasound. The crown-rump-length was measured to be 0.41 cm, which was consistent with an estimated gestational age of 6 weeks and 1 day. At this point, the Implanon was immediately removed intact. The patient had no significant medical history and…

website ZME Science’s article Ultrasounds used to control neurons in a worm's brain by Tibi Puiu is that light is unable to go through the body like sound can. Neuroscientists need a way to activate singular neurons reliably, specifically ones in deep inside the brain. Sonogenetics could be the answer to this problem. According to Singularity Hub’s article Brain-Controlling Sound Waves Used to Steer Genetically Modified Worms by Shelly Fan, by using pulses of ultrasound and microbubbles with…

INTRODUCTION Over a quarter century ago, breast imaging has undergone continuous evolution since the introduction of the mammogram. More established modalities have been developed as breast imaging is continuously progressing new modalities and advances in applications. By improving efficacy in minimizing the morbidity and mortality, these improved technologies have helped in individualize evaluation of breast lesion as well as a treatment too. However in mammogram which is its inadequate…

career field that they go into. The careers that were mentioned above are those that people would usually choose from. For example, if someone wanted to become an Ultrasound Technician or a Medical Sonographer then their field of study would be specializing on the inside of someone’s stomach. One can also work at an OBGYN to do ultrasounds on someone who is pregnant. If they would rather work as an MRI technician then they will usually work in a hospital. If someone is going to be a MRI Tech…

arterial wall, precisely imaged using ultrasound technology. The anatomy of the arterial wall is illustrated in figure 4. The arterial wall contains three distinct separate layers intima, media and adventitia (figure 4). Atherosclerosis as described previously, affects the intima leading to intimal thickening, but here is no method available at present which can measure only intima thickness in vivo. However, intima-media thickness may be measured with ultrasound and an increase in intima-media…

Abortion Kills In the past 36 years there has been over 1.4 billion abortions worldwide. That would be like killing more than the entire population of China. These babies will never see the light of day because of someone else's carelessness. They will never grow up, get a job, get married, start their own family, all because of someone else’s mistakes. No one should have the right to take someone’s life away. Abortion should be illegal, not only in the U.S but everywhere. As a woman gets an…

Kentucky Senate has passed over the weekend a bill requiring women to have a fetal ultrasound first before having an abortion. The Kentucky abortion bill is now awaiting the signature of Republican Gov. Matt Bevin, who previously expressed approval for the new legislation. The bill will become effective immediately once it is signed because of its emergency clause, The Associated Press reports. Under the said bill, the ultrasound before an abortion must include playing of the fetal heartbeat,…

I believe that all women considering abortion should be provided with the option to view the fetal sonograms, but should not be required to view the image if they do not desire to. The fetal sonogram, or ultrasound is a medically recommended procedure for various reasons throughout the pregnancy’s trimesters, but there is no medical recommendation for getting one prior to an abortion (American Pregnancy Association, 2017). There is currently a lot of research going on looking into whether or not…
