Cerebral vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia are common complications associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) outcomes. Various modalities can be used to evaluate detect after SAH. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography as an appropriate bedside dynamic monitoring tool screen for the presence progression of in patients This article briefly reviewed severity SAH pathophysiology vas...

1. Systolic blood pressure was measured by a Doppler ultrasound technique in twenty normal babies on 6 successive days after the day of delivery. In three babies blood pressure was recorded every 15 min for 24 h. 2. Systolic blood pressure during the first 6 days of life was 95 (SEM = 2) mmHg. 3. Systolic blood pressure increased on average by 2 mmHg/day, but increased most between the second a...

Doppler devices can provide clinically useful information about blood flow. This paper describes how a pulse-Doppler instrument has been linked to a B-scan machine so that flow patterns in any ultrasonically accessible vessel can be monitored from the skin surface. The same transducer is used for both modes of investigation to enable accurate and reliable positioning of the sample-volume. After...

The advancement of medical technology and future improvements in public health will lead to surgeons operating on high risk patients. One of these advances is to use intra-operative trans-oesophageal Doppler (TOD) to optimise fluid management. TOD is known to be the most effective technique for intraoperative cardiac monitoring. We report a case of a potentially life threatening complication fr...

Historically, most theoretical accounts of hemispheric specialisation have proposed a single underlying factor that leads to left hemisphere language and right hemisphere visuospatial processing in the majority of people. More recently empirical evidence has started to challenge this view, suggesting lateralisation of language and visuospatial attention are independent. However, so far studies ...

Although there is consensus that the left hemisphere plays a critical role in language processing, some questions remain. Here we examine the influence of overt versus covert speech production on lateralization, the relationship between lateralization and behavioural measures of language performance and the strength of lateralization across the subcomponents of language. The present study used ...

The accuracy in determining the pressure gradient in the Björk-Shiley mitral implant from noninvasive ultrasound Doppler data was explored in nine adult patients. Manometric and ultrasound data were collectd simultaneously, and identical diastolic periods were used to compare the manometric gradient (delta Pm) with the gradient obtained from ultrasound data (delta Pu). In the nine patients the ...

Transcranial colour-coded duplex sonography (TCCS) is a new and non-invasive ultrasound application that combines both imaging of intracranial vessels and parenchymal structures at a high spatial resolution. This manuscript reviews the clinical applications of TCCS with focus on its diagnostic abilities in acute stroke patients. Furthermore, new experimental imaging techniques are discussed.

1.2 Methods fetal tele-echography and Doppler was performed using,a) a portable echograph which setting and function (Doppler pulsed and color, 3D capture..) can be operated from away via internet, b) equipped with motorized probes (400g, 430cm3) which transducer can be orientated from away by an expert also via internet. The pregnant were in medical center far away from the expert center.

A new laser Doppler vibrometry scanning head is proposed based on a pair of rotating optical wedges. A comprehensive mathematical model is developed and used to demonstrate how the wedges can be configured to scan point-by-point, in a line, in a circle, and in a combination of the two such that a straight line scan could be performed on a structure during rotation. Inevitable misalignments are ...
