Ultrasound platform effective evaluating hepatic steatosis
Thursday, November 30 | 1:30 p.m.-1:40 p.m. | R6-SSGI19-1 | Room E352Attendees will hear about the potential for ultrasound-derived fat fraction to be an alternative tool for MRI in assessing hepatic steatosis.Yi Dong, MD, from Fudan University in Shanghai, China, will present findings that show how ultrasound-derived fat fraction can detect hepatic steatosis using MRI-derived proton density fat fraction as the reference standard.Several ultrasound platforms now provide quantitative measures of hepatic steatosis. One of these is ultrasound-derived fat fraction, which combines attenuation and backscatter quantification. ...

Fast Heartburn Relief Without Deadly Drugs
Since gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was first identified in the early 1930s, the number of people experiencing heartburn has increased substantially.
In fact, one study shows that in just 10 years, the number of people experiencing:1
Any GERD symptoms increased by 30%
Symptoms at least once a week increased by 47%
Severe GERD increased by 24%
While these numbers are concerning, I’ll admit they’re not surprising considering the typical American diet.
Our nutrition-less, grain-based diet of carbohydrates and starches has wrecked our health and made our bodies behave in ways nature never intended.
This has led ...

Estimation of Gingival Crevicular Blood as Noninvasive Method to Determine the Blood Glucose Level: A Comparative Study
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the findings of the current study suggest that
blood drawn from the gingival crevicular during a clinical examination
may be a great source for glucometric analysis. The gingival crevicular
blood may show to be a promising technique for routine dental office
screening for diabetes mellitus in periodontal patients, even if
capillary/venous blood samples used for diabetes mellitus screening are
the gold standard.
Clinical significance:
Oral health is crucial for the early detection of many systemic
disorders. As a result, dentists are crucial in the screening for
systemic...
