Ultrasound is Ultra-Cool
This study is also a major step forward for the exciting possibility of combining focused ultrasound with targeted delivery of medications or antibodies that normally have limited capability to cross the blood brain barrier from the blood to the brain.”
Similarly, researchers at Yonsei University College of Medicine (South Korea) found that focused ultrasound improved the delivery of Alzheimer’s drugs by over eight times. “While there is no complete cure for dementia, we hope that open BBB [blood brain barrier] surgery using FUS surgery can help give hope to dementia patients,” the lead researcher said.

It ’ s time to ditch cultural competence
A pregnant Somali woman was determined to have a vaginal delivery. Unfortunately, labor wasn’t progressing as expected, and the health care team recommended a c-section.

Can Missouri Pass The Muster
BY MIKE MAGEE
A case has been made that a logical approach to reforming America’s violent and racist leanings would be to adopt the values and practices of Health Care for All. These include a commitment to compassion, understanding, and partnership; extending the linkages between individual, family, community and society; addressing fear and worry for individuals and populations; and promoting an optimistic and equitable future for all Americans.
Nurses and doctors and pharmacists and other health professionals pledge oaths and spend years training to exhibit and practice these values in the course of providing ...

Balancing motherhood and medical school: tips from those who ’ ve done it
I was in my first year of medical school when I discovered I was pregnant. This was not a planned pregnancy, as no one would intentionally plan to have a baby during medical school, as it is extremely difficult to manage both. However, there I was, and to my surprise, I was happy about it.

Senior Gynaecologist fined for doing Anomaly Scan as it missed the Anomaly, Important Judgment
According to https://advrohiterande.blogspot.com/2023/01/a-senior-gynaecologist-fined-for-doing.html it appears to be a case of medical malpractice where Dr. Usha Mukhi, a gynaecologist, is being held liable for not detecting a congenital abdominal wall defect during an ultrasound examination of a patient ' s pregnancy. The patient, Seema Deswal, argues that the Dr. Mukhi should have referred her to a qualified radiologist and that the anomaly could have been detected earlier and the baby could have been aborted within 20 weeks of pregnancy. The case was initially dismissed by the District Forum, but was later allowed...

Maternity surveys 2022
Care Quality Commission -This survey aims to capture what people using maternity services in 2022 felt about the care they received while pregnant, during labour and delivery, and once at home in the weeks following the arrival of their baby. The survey of more than 20,900 women who gave birth in February 2022 shows fewer reporting positively about their experience of maternity care, with a decline in the number able to get help from staff when they needed it, compared to five years ago. However, many respondents were still positive about their interactions with staff.Survey resultsCare Quality Commission - press release (...

A teenager with chest pain, a troponin below the limit of detection, and " benign early repolarization "
Sent by anonymous, written by Pendell MeyersA male in his teens presented with complaints of chest discomfort and dyspnea beginning while exercising but without obvious injury.

Symptoms have been constant since this second episode, and are still present on arrival, which seems to have been less than 1 to 2 hours from onset of symptoms. No similar symptoms in the past. No prior exertional complaints of chest pain, dizziness, lightheadedness, or undue shortness of...

AI Improves Results of In-Vitro Fertilization
Eran Eshed, CEO and Co-founder of Fairtility, cites research showing that 48% of the work done by embyrologists during in-vitro fertilization is administrative. Fairtility was founded to automate this tedious work, which not only makes the embryologist more efficient, but eliminates the many errors caused by manual work.
Furthermore, by taking data from EHRs and incubators—about 2.5 million data points in each pregnancy cycle—Fairtility can analyze the embryos’ viability more accurately than the embryologist. (The embryologist checks results to correct occasional errors.)
Another benefit of Fairtility’s au...

My journey parenting with chronic depression as a physician mom
I remember feeling like I was on an island, and any time I separated from her and put her down, I frantically looked around for her, daydreaming she was lost at sea. When I was pregnant, everything was contained and controlled. Her womb gymnastics, even at night, were welcome interruptions to my sleep. It was

Top 5 Ways to Increase Your Milk Supply
Since we can’t measure breast milk intake the way we can formula, it is easy to be insecure about your milk supply. If you feel your milk supply is low, here are five suggestions on how to increase it:
Take care of yourself. Eat well and drink plenty of fluids. During nursing, try not to diet. You are still establishing your supply and need a minimum of 1800 calories each day while you are lactating. Fun fact: if you eat high quality foods and limit fats and sweets, you will usually lose weight more easily than a mother who is formula feeding.
Nurse frequently. Try to get in a minimum of 8 feedings in 24 hours, and mo...
