At ePatient Connections 2010 Joe Shields,Director of World Wide Innovationsat Pfizer asked three questions of those in attendance.
This is our answer to Joe…
This document discusses USG images taken in the third trimester of pregnancy. It was written by Prof. M.C. Bansal, who has served as the founder principal and controller of Jhalawar Medical College And Hospital in Jhalawar as well as the principal and controller of Mahatma Gandhi Medical College And Hospital in Sitapura, Jaipur. The USG images presented are from Donald School Textbook on Ultra Sonography-1 and William's Obstetrics Textbook for further reference on the topic.
The document provides biographical information about an engineering student named Bhatt Kartik studying Production Engineering in the 2nd semester at Government Engineering College in Bhavnager, India. It then shares insights from an interview with Mr. Darshan about how he approaches challenges at work positively and believes in internal satisfaction over external validation. The document concludes by discussing the student's view that Mr. Darshan is a contributor to society based on his helpful nature and desire to open a school to help underprivileged children succeed.
The document discusses the anatomy and sonographic appearance of the pancreas. It describes the pancreas' location and relationships to nearby structures like blood vessels. The normal sonographic features include homogeneous echotexture and absence of duct dilation. Common pathologies like pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis are also summarized, noting how they can appear on ultrasound with features like duct obstruction or diffuse swelling. Ultrasound is established as a useful initial imaging method for evaluating the pancreas.
accurate assessment of gestational age by certain mensrtual data and clinical examination may have dating discrepancy with the ultrasound. this ppt critically addresses such issues
This document discusses imaging of the pancreas. Ultrasound and CT scan are the primary modalities used. Ultrasound is useful as a screening tool due to its availability, low cost and lack of radiation. CT scan is the gold standard modality as it can accurately detect pancreatic abnormalities and complications. MRCP and MRI provide additional information and are used as problem-solving tools. The document reviews imaging features of various pancreatic pathologies such as acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, tumors and trauma.

This document discusses miscarriage and related topics in obstetrics and gynecology. It defines different types of miscarriage such as threatened, inevitable, incomplete, and missed/silent miscarriage. It covers etiologies, risk factors, clinical presentations, investigations and management approaches for miscarriage. Key points include that 50% of spontaneous miscarriages are due to chromosomal abnormalities, infection is an unclear cause of recurrent miscarriage, and management involves either conservative expectant monitoring or surgical evacuation of retained products of conception.
Breast mass is a major concern. Aim of this study is to understand the tissue character of any breast mass, if it is solid then to decide about further strategy for regular follow up and or biopsy
1) Bleeding in the first trimester occurs in 20-25% of pregnancies, with 50% resulting in miscarriage.
2) There are both obstetrical and non-obstetrical causes of bleeding, with obstetrical causes like threatened abortion, blighted ovum, and ectopic pregnancy being more common.
3) Diagnosis involves examination, ultrasound, and tests for bleeding disorders if needed. Management depends on the diagnosis and ranges from observation for threatened abortion to surgical evacuation for incomplete or septic abortion.
Breast ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to map the internal structures of the breast. Though it should not be used alone for screening, ultrasound can detect cancers not seen on mammography when used together with mammography. With new transducers, ultrasound can also detect malignancy associated with clustered microcalcifications seen on mammograms. Ultrasound provides high quality images of the normal and abnormal breast and can help differentiate between cystic and solid lesions.
Digital mammography has largely replaced film mammography. Digital mammography provides higher resolution images and allows radiologists to adjust brightness and magnification. Standard views include craniocaudal and mediolateral oblique views of each breast. Digital mammography is more accurate than film for premenopausal women under 50 with dense breasts but film may be slightly better for women over 65 with fatty breasts.
This document provides information about various breast imaging techniques including mammography. It describes what a mammogram is, the history of mammography, how mammograms are performed, what they can detect like masses and microcalcifications, and how results are categorized using BI-RADS. Other modalities like ultrasound and MRI are also discussed. Limitations of mammography include false negatives, overdiagnosis, and difficulty in dense breasts. Mammogram plans vary depending on a woman's history and any breast surgery or implants. Newer techniques like tomosynthesis aim to improve cancer detection.
