The fetal monitoring is based on a fetal heart rhythm analysis, and aimed at the detection of early symptoms of the intrauterine fetal hypoxia. The most often used method for acquisition of the fetal heart rate (FHR) during pregnancy is the Doppler ultrasound technique. When a penetrating beam is reflected from the moving parts, like valves of the fetal heart, its frequency is shifted according...

This paper presents experience in monitoring renal ultrasound data in patients with pancreatonecrosis from 20 to 60 years. It is also present two clinical cases of renal urodynamics in destructive forms of acute pancreatitis. Edematous form of acute pancreatitis and pancreatic cause violations not only secretion but also excretory function of the nephros. In patients with pancreatic necrosis ac...

transducer t o achieve a large intensity gain and deep penetration [1,2]. The fixed focused single element is mechanically moved in three dimensions to treat a volume. or akernatively in two dimensions snch as with annular arrays 13.41. IrnagiKq or monitoring performance with such transducers hay been limited due to their narrow bandwidt,h. low frequency, and/or need for mechanical scanning. M...

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of quantitative ultrasound imaging in characterizing cancer cell death caused by enhanced radiation treatments. This investigation focused on developing this ultrasound modality as an imaging-based non-invasive method that can be used to monitor therapeutic ultrasound and radiation effects. High-frequency (25 MHz) ultrasound was used to image tum...

PURPOSE To assess the accuracy and ability of ultrasound for monitoring closed reduction for distal radius fractures. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing ultrasound-guided closed reduction of acute, displaced distal radius fractures between January 2003 and December 2006 at our department were enrolled. The control group was extracted from patients who underwent a closed reduction for sim...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the utility of ultrasound in aiding the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA), in monitoring the response to corticotherapy, and in detecting early relapses. METHODS A pilot study, prospective, included 10 patients with suspected GCA. All patients underwent ultrasound examination of both temporal arteries before temporal artery biopsy (TAB), 3 weeks after starting trea...

Advanced hemodynamic monitoring is necessary for many patients with acute brain and/or spinal cord injury. Optimizing cerebral and systemic physiology requires multi-organ system function monitoring. Hemodynamic manipulations are cardinal among interventions to regulate cerebral perfusion pressure and cerebral blood flow. The pulmonary artery catheter is not any more the sole tool available; le...
