The evidence for Prehospital Ultrasound: Luke ReganSMACC Conference
Luke Regan presents the emerging evidence for prehospital ultrasound and telehealth in his talk from the SMACC stage.
Luke has a personal interest in improving prehospital care. He lives in the north of Scotland. It is an austere and challenging environment, far from technology. Compounding this, it is underserviced and there is an absence of critical care with no critical in reach.
Unfortunately, the morbidity and mortality of the area does not match the spread of care. Therefore, it is one of the motivations for his research.
That being said, he is not alone in his desire for this research. Pre-hospital ultrasound topped the list of technology-based research priorities in pre-hospital critical care, as determined by a European research collaboration. This is in large part because much of what is done in pre-hospital care still exists in an evidence free zone.
Luke discusses the extended pre-hospital patient journey in his practice. This presents a challenge, but also an opportunity. If time zero is further back, testing a pre-hospital intervention becomes very achievable. There is precedent for this. Benefit of pre-hospital interventions have been highlighted by the relative benefit of stopping and performing roadside ECG in transit. This has allowed road crews to receive updated treatment advice based on that ECG.
This bundle of care is similar to what is possible with pre-hospital ultrasound. Currently, there is a very apparent practice creep when it comes to the use of ultrasound. This means there is an increase in the use of pre-hospital ultrasound around the world. However, it remains an evidence poor area.
Luke describes two studies conducted in Scotland looking to answer the big questions in pre-hospital point of care ultrasound (POCUS). Firstly, can it make a difference? Secondly, does it take too long? Finally, who should do it and how long does it take to train them? This is done in large studies, with lots of patients and inputs from a diverse meeting of minds.
Join Luke Regan as he discusses the evidence behind the application of pre-hospital ultrasound and telemedicine.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

South Nassau Plans to Establish Center for Urologic Health
in Rockville Centre
An Advanced Diagnostic Center for Men & Women to be Located at 510 Merrick Road
Oceanside, NY, – In response to the area’s need for a community-based healthcare practice devoted
specifically to the treatment of men’s and women’s urinary tract and reproductive organ health problems, South
Nassau Communities Hospital is seeking approval from the Village of Rockville Centre to convert a vacant
building that South Nassau owns at 510 Merrick Rd. to a free-standing Center for Urologic Health.
“There is a need for these services both for women and men in our community and this facility will be
designed to provide this specialized care, close to home for our patients,” said Richard J. Murphy, president and
CEO at South Nassau. “These centers will be able to provide the specialized treatments and care needed to
address what are often sensitive urologic health problems.”
The Centers will offer the array of advanced technologies and therapies to treat the range of urologic
disorders and diseases afflicting women and men. South Nassau chose a community-based location for the
center to facilitate patients’ access of their physicians as well as the center’s board-certified physicians and
patient-centered advances in urologic care. The location is also just a few blocks from the hospital’s main
campus in Oceanside.
The centers will provide a comprehensive program of non-surgical and surgical treatments for female
urologic care, including treatment for urinary incontinence, urinary tract infection, bladder dysfunction, pelvic
pain, pelvic floor/prolapse issues, kidney stones, genitourinary cancers, and voiding dysfunction. Its roster of
advanced treatments for men's urologic conditions will include genitourinary cancers, prostate health issues,
infertility, testicular disorders, kidney, urinary tract and bladder conditions as well as incontinence, erectile
dysfunction, and vasectomy.
The building’s interior is being completely remodeled with new, comfortable furnishings, and the
exterior will be improved with new lighting, landscaping and a resurfaced parking lot with 21 spaces reserved
for patients and physicians only.
News From:
2. South Nassau physicians and staff currently provide these services in different locations, including
Valley Stream. By consolidating in one location, patients will have easy access to the experts and specialists
they need in a private setting.
“We will provide the therapies and treatments that will enable women to gain control over urologic
health problems that are not only detrimental to their health and wellness, but also demoralizing and restrictive,"
said Alan Garely, MD, chief of South Nassau's obstetrics and gynecology department. “You don’t need to
travel into the city any longer to receive this type of highly specialized care. We have the experts right here in
our new Rockville Centre location.”
Dr. Garely is one of the country’s leading experts on pelvic floor reconstruction for women facing pelvic
organ prolapse, a condition that occurs when the muscles of the pelvic floor are weakened or damaged, often
due to childbirth.
Michael Herman, MD, director of urology at South Nassau, said the very latest techniques are being
used at South Nassau to address issues like prostate cancer. South Nassau is one of the only hospitals in Nassau
County to offer MRI-Ultrasound Targeted Biopsy, an innovative new technology for more precise and accurate
detection of prostate cancer. “We have the experience and resources so that most men with urologic health
problems can maintain a healthy and vibrant life at any age,” said Dr. Herman.
As the leading provider of healthcare services in the South Shore of Nassau County, South Nassau has
been focused on establishing community-based satellite healthcare centers to increase residents’ access to
specialized healthcare services that they need. If the urology center is approved, it will be part of South
Nassau’s system of specialty satellite healthcare centers, which includes the Center for Cardiac Rehabilitation
(Oceanside); Center for Advanced Orthopedic Surgery (Oceanside); Center for Sleep Medicine (Hewlett);
Center for Women’s Imaging(Oceanside); Long Island Gamma Knife (Oceanside); Minimally Invasive Surgery
Center (Hewlett); Mental Health Counseling Center (Baldwin); Center for Weight & Life Management
(Hewlett); Center for Prostate Health (Oceanside); Outpatient Dialysis Center (Oceanside); SIBSPlace
(Hewlett); South Nassau Cancer Center (Valley Stream); South Nassau Family Medicine (Oceanside); South
Nassau Family Medicine (Long Beach); South Nassau Home Care (Baldwin); South Nassau Sports Medicine
and Rehabilitation Therapy (SMART) Center (Oceanside); South Nassau Primary Medical Care (Bellmore);
and Wound Care Center (Oceanside).
