According to Sonostarss  "Sonographers, what are you measuring?" article sonographers are 98% of the time making a wrong fetal echo diagnosis. M-Mode is the modality we use to obtain a fetal heart rate, but few and far between sonographers even know what they are really measuring. Unfortunately, sonography schools, though they teach the many facets of OB sonography, are not teaching how to correctly perform, interpret or measure M-mode. This is truly astounding. Why don’t we know this?!! It could make a big difference in a baby’s prognosis and treatment. When measuring the heart rate, many sonographers are measuring the most pronounced thing they visualize, which is usually the motion of a heart valve. This is NOT the fetal heart rate, and you might be missing a significant heart dysrhythmia. It is the sinoatrial (SA) node, located at the roof of the right atrium, that regulates the heart rate. The SA node sends a signal throughout the atrium to ...

Women who are obesed have been studied to have an increased chance of conceiving twins and multiple pregnancy. In a study reported on Webmd shows that there's correlation between increased BMI and multiple birth. An American study found women with a pre-pregnancy BMI of 30 or more are significantly more likely to have twins formed from separate eggs and sperm than thinner mothers. Researchers found the proportion of US women ages 20-39 with a BMI of 30 or more increased from 9.3 per cent in the early 1960s to 29.1 per cent in 1999-2002. They expect the rate of twin births to increase as the percentage of obese women continues to rise. How much a woman weighs when she gets pregnant and how much weight she gains during pregnancy can affect her health and that of her baby. The developing fetuses of obese women also are at increased risk for health problems. For example, researchers found a connection between maternal obesity and neural tub...

According to A2Z group on Facebook. Encephalocele(fetal brain) herniating through mouth Encephaloceles are rare birth defects associated with skull defects characterized by partial lacking of bone fusion leaving a gap through which a portion of the brain sticks out (protrudes). In some cases, cerebrospinal fluid or the membranes that cover the brain (meninges) may also protrude through this gap.  In some cases, cerebrospinal fluid or the membranes that cover the brain (meninges) may also protrude through this gap. The portion of the brain that sticks outside the skull is usually covered by skin or a thin membrane so that the defect resembles a small sac. Protruding tissue may be located on any part of the head, but most often affects the back of the skull (occipital area). Most encephaloceles are large and significant birth defects that are diagnosed before birth. However, in extremely rare cases, some encephaloceles may be small and go un...

Hydrocele which means "water sac" is abnormal fluid collection within the tunica vaginalis of the scrotum or a patent tunica vaginalis. It is a relatively common condition in surgical practice. However, a giant hydrocele, here defined for clinical purposes, as a hydrocele equal to or bigger than the patient's head, is rare as indicated by the limited number of reported cases in the literature. Ultrasound is the first modality usually used to evaluate hydrocele, which presents as a simple fluid collection. It is avascular on Doppler evaluation. It may contain septations, calcifications or cholesterol. In a research article published online ncbi reports giant hydrocele in specific patients. A 50-year-old man who presented with bilateral scrotal swellings for 10 years. No history of chronic cough, leg swelling or trauma to the scrotum. He is married wit...

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD) are a common cause of pain and injury for ultrasound practitioners.  Common sites of injury  Factors influencing ultrasound professionals’ likelihood of developing work-related musculoskeletal disorders include poor posture, repetitive movements, transducer pressure and poor grip, stress, workload, limited support or sense of control and other psychosocial factors. According to SDMS 2018 white paper series, Sonographers should remember that optimising the examination should not be at the detriment of their health. Please find attached and download the SDMS standard for WRMSD here Common causes of WRMSD in ultrasound practitioners include:  Poor and/or static posture  Repetitive movements  Transducer grip pressure and the use of force  Psychosocial factors  Workload management issues  Common sympto...

Ultrasound examination has ranked #1 choice of exam for many diagnosis probably due to it's none invasiveness, detail and safety when compared to other forms of medical imaging. Little wonder it's largely employed in antenatal care. The reportage of obstetrics exam has emphasis on many things but less is said of the importance of fetal position, most times when fetal position is indicated it's usually not detailed enough to help surgical decisions. During pregnancy, the developing baby moves into several different positions. As labor approaches, some positions are safer than others. According to medical news toda y, The ideal position for a fetus just before labor is the anterior position. In this position, the fetus's head points toward the ground and they are facing the woman's back. Most fetuses settle into this position by the last month of pregnancy. The anterior position is also known as a vertex, cephalic, or occiput ante...

There has been serious outburst from the APC and Buhari camp concerning the journey made by the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar to the US. Online news media quote the president's media adviser in his reation to the Atiku development that "He travel to the US being listed as an office aide to the senatS president". The veracity of the claim is not immediately known but it is now certain that the assertion that Atiku can not travel to the US is now a fallacy. What every Nigerian want is good governance not tales of who is capable of traveling to the US.

In what appeared to be self medication an Irish man reported in the ER with chronic back pain, upon clinical investigation the man confessed to injecting himself with his own semen intravenously for 18 months as his assumed therapy for back ache. Examination reveals a red patch swelling on his right forearm, the site of administration using a hypodermic needle. The swollen region is hard on palpation. X-ray images revealed an area of trapped air beneath the man's skin. According to report publish an online news media , the research author stated that "This isn't the first we've seen something like this. Perhaps this case reminds you of Aaron Traywick, the deceased biohacker who onces gave himself an unregulated herpes treatment in front of a crowd".
