How Late Can You Give Routine Newborn Care?
Discussion
Routine newborn screening and treatment is focused on assisting the infant’s transition to extrauterine life, screening for health problems that may or may not be easily identifiable, and preventing acute or chronic health problems. Healthy infants begin with healthy pregnancies including risk factor assessment and screening of mothers. Such routine maternal screening and treatment does or may include glucose tolerance tests, ultrasound examinations, screenings for maternal blood type (with appropriate administration of Rho(D) immunoglobulin if appropriate), Hepatitis B, Neisseria gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Cyt...

Lateral approach water bath method leads to better ultrasound images
Researchers are highlighting the success of a lateral approach water bath for ultrasonic imaging of the hand, their results being published November 15 in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine.
A team led by Jennifer Cotton, MD, from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, found that its method resulted in images that were of higher quality, more consistency, and more clinical usefulness than those from traditional water bath imaging.
“Based on this it appears the lateral approach water bath is a valuable, feasible tool for high-quality ultrasound imaging of superficial structures in the hand,” Cotton and coll...

UltraSight touts cardiac ultrasound study
Ultrasight is highlighting a study showing that its point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) AI software can help novice users interpret diagnostic cardiac images. Researchers led by Roberto Lang, MD, of the University of Chicago, assessed the quality of echocardiographic exams performed by inexperienced users guided by Ultrasight’s software and evaluated their suitability for diagnostic interpretation of basic cardiac pathology, as well as quantitative analysis of cardiac chamber and function.“After minimal training with the real-time guidance software, novice users can acquire images of diagnostic quality approaching that of...

Noninvasive cardiac imaging tests lead to lower downstream costs
Noninvasive cardiac imaging tests lead to reduced downstream costs, and stress echocardiography may be the go-to modality with this in mind, according to Canadian research published November 14 in the Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography.
A team led by Idan Roifman MD, from the University of Toronto found that stress echocardiography led to an 18% reduction in costs, while cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) and myocardial perfusion imaging led to the highest downstream costs.
“These findings may help inform testing decisions in chest pain patients,” Roifman and colleagues wrote.
Previous reports indicate...
