Treatment is begun based on this clinical presumption.', '28bcd32e-af5d-4d70-b78d-c0d899dc808c': 'Choices to diagnose kidney and ureteral stones include intravenous pyelogram (IVP), plain radiographs, CT scans (which allow the synthesis of a 3D picture from multiple radiologic views), and ultrasound. Plain radiography, or shooting an X-ray through the abdomen, is the oldest evaluation method but is still used. Often hydronephrosis and occasionally an actual stone may be visualized. This method is often used to follow a visible stone over several days. IVP production involves injecting dye into a patient’s vein and taking serial plain X-rays to observe the flow of dye through the kidney and ureter. This method has lost great popularity due to the dye load on the kidney occasionally causing renal malfunction and less accuracy in diagnosis. CT technology is fast, does not require dye in this particular study, and is most accurate. The clarity of this technology is evident to the most inexperienced patient. Even a very small stone with a typical size of 1 mm may be measured more accurately. The stone may be more easily seen even if it does not contain calcium to reflect ultrasound waves.

There has been a common consensus that COVID-19 has caused significant shortages of medical supplies both in the United States and worldwide, including those in testing capacity, ICU and hospital bed supply, hospital staff, personal protective equipment (PPE), and mechanical ventilators for affected regions.[5] There is greatly magnified attention on the safety of caretakers of the most critically ill patients. The mental health and well-being of health care professionals have been the focus of increased attention, with persistent evidence of high burnout, psychosocial stress, and mortality rates.[6] There has been a realization of how the increased vulnerability of our underserved population will perhaps impact how medical care is distributed in the future. The prevalence of COVID-19 has had a disproportionate impact on the poor, minorities, and a broad range of vulnerable populations due to its inequitable spread in areas of dense population and limited mitigation capacity resulting from a high prevalence of chronic conditions or poor access to high-quality public health and medical care.[7] There has been a growing need for more research on health equity in order to increase global knowledge and allow cross-national learning of what works for those most in need due to the direct and collateral effects of COVID-19. It has also been demonstrated that a pandemic can quickly destroy many characteristics of our society, affecting the economic, social, and personal habits of people in all countries. The World Health Organization has warned of a mental health burden related to the spread of COVID-19 infection through the global population: stress, worry, fear, and changes in our daily lives (working from home, temporary unemployment, homeschooling, etc.) are all challenging people’s mental and physical health as well as the global health care system and economy.[8]', '7bc2a51d-280e-4918-b0c6-3d16bf932d13': 'COVID-19 has been a very humbling condition to deal with for any health care professional.

Age, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and dementia significantly increase the chance of doing poorly.

Due to the rapid cell division and differentiation of the embryo in unbelievable numbers, even minor “errors” in cellular division may cause the very common event of spontaneous abortion. In the emergency department, it is often an unhappy task for a health professional to explain this issue to patients and their families. It is essential to be careful in doing so due to the tendency of many patients to wonder why a tragedy has occurred and to cast blame on themselves. Without careful explanation, patients who experience spontaneous abortion, or expulsion of an unsuccessful pregnancy through the vagina, may feel that they were at fault when this is not the case.', 'a0267643-fbdb-4851-aa9e-cecbf9e3bde5': 'One can evaluate the earliest pregnancies with many parameters. The serial evaluation of the lab value of the “pregnancy hormone,” beta human chorionic gonadotropin (BHCG), over a few days gives an indication of developmental health. Early in pregnancy, the BHCG should double every 2–3 days. If there is a decrease or no increase in the value, this is a most worrisome sign for embryologic death. Often, early fetal demise will not be 100% certain, and the ultrasound and BHCG evaluation are done serially over a few days. Two ultrasounds without a heartbeat at the appropriate fetal age and an inappropriately declining BHCG are often considered diagnostic for intrauterine fetal death and likely spontaneous abortion.', 'f34e29b5-1eec-4c39-bba0-c2f640f59b99': 'Ultrasound evaluation can most accurately begin in early pregnancy with a longer, higher-frequency transvaginal probe.

The accuracy of the higher-frequency probe allows a marked improvement in resolution when the reflection is only a short distance. At four to five weeks gestation, we first see the fetal yolk sac, fetal pole, gestational sac, and fetal heartbeat. An irregularly shaped gestational sac or lack of a fetal heartbeat when the embryologic or crown-rump length is greater than five weeks are ominous signs of possible embryological death.

This is somewhat helpful when the medical provider evaluates issues such as whether to try to delay a patient in preterm labor or if induction of a patient who continues pregnancy more than 10 days after the estimated date of confinement (EDC) is indicated. Both of these issues have several determining factors. For preterm labor, infant mortality significantly decreases as delivery is delayed in many cases. For postterm situations, having a healthy term fetus more than 10 days after the EDC may pose unnecessary risks. These are complex decisions based on such data. To further complicate the issue, gestational dating may have variable accuracies.

If one does have prenatal care and prenatal ultrasound, gestational dating accuracy remains variable. The facet that introduces the most variability is the gestational age at which the scan is performed. It has been traditionally noted that gestational dating accuracy has an 8% variability of the maturity of the pregnancy.[5] An example is that a 45-day gestation would have an accuracy of ±days, and a pregnancy of approximately 250 days would have an accuracy of ±20 days. This variability may decrease as ultrasound machines become more sophisticated. The principle, however, continues to make sense that as pregnancies mature, the genetic and environmental issues that make us all different have a greater influence on growth.'}" +Figure 5-5,ultrasound/images/Figure 5-5.jpg,Figure 5-5 Ultrasound image of fetal hydrocephalus.

The advantage of ultrasound over CT scanning is the rapidity of the exam and the fact that the physician may remain at the bedside to make critical decisions regarding the potential rapidly changing condition of the patient.

Potential spaces had been known for centuries as locations where abnormal fluid collections could be reliably found and removed. It is with the more sophisticated radiology modalities that the fluid can be located before surgery and used diagnostically to help determine if surgery is necessary.

It is divided into three systems: superficial, perforating, and deep veins. Figure 10-1 shows the anatomy of the venous system. Blood flows from the superficial to deep veins through branching perforating veins. The deep veins usually follow the arteries in the same areas and often have similar names. For example, the femoral vein is beside the femoral artery. The deep venous system eventually returns blood to the right side of the heart. Since the venous system is usually a low-pressure system, veins have bicuspid valves to allow flow in one direction from superficial to deep (the foot is the exception) and from distal to proximal. Muscular contraction helps with venous flow, such as in the calf muscle pump in the leg.[1]",True,The Venous System,Figure 10-1,10. Vascular Sonography,https://pressbooks.palni.org/ultrasoundphysicsanditsapplicationinmedicine/wp-content/uploads/sites/65/2024/02/image1-15.png,Figure 10-1: Anatomy of the venous system. +632ce9e8-b8a4-48b9-a4af-145661e9f41a,https://pressbooks.palni.org/ultrasoundphysicsanditsapplicationinmedicine/,10. Vascular Sonography,https://pressbooks.palni.org/ultrasoundphysicsanditsapplicationinmedicine/chapter/vascular-sonography/,"Venous pathophysiology has many etiologies, such as trauma and genetic predisposition, and can occur when outflow is impaired by dysfunctional valves, resulting in retrograde flow and causing a condition known as chronic venous insufficiency.

It ascends along the medial aspect of the leg between the superficial and deep fascia. It typically has 10–20 valves and terminates at the saphenofemoral junction (SFJ).

Spontaneous flow is observed when the blood flow moves actively without external influences, such as an augmentation maneuver. Respiratory variation, also known as phasicity, refers to regular venous flow changes that occur secondary to intrathoracic pressure during breathing cycles. Augmentation is a maneuver that is used to evaluate possible abnormal flow patterns.

From this distinct outline, we can determine the size, shape, location, and consistency of the surrounding structures near the kidney. The kidney measures approximately 11–14 cm in length, 6 cm in width, and 4 cm in thickness. You may measure these at first, but you may soon only estimate the size visually. Other hyperechoic structures typically surround the kidney. The liver is located superior to the right kidney, and the spleen is located superior to the left kidney. The kidneys are retroperitoneal, or behind the peritoneal cavity. Difficulties in visualizing a kidney are due to the presence of air-filled lungs superior to it as well as the ribs.

There has been a common consensus that COVID-19 has caused significant shortages of medical supplies both in the United States and worldwide, including those in testing capacity, ICU and hospital bed supply, hospital staff, personal protective equipment (PPE), and mechanical ventilators for affected regions.[5] There is greatly magnified attention on the safety of caretakers of the most critically ill patients. The mental health and well-being of health care professionals have been the focus of increased attention, with persistent evidence of high burnout, psychosocial stress, and mortality rates.[6] There has been a realization of how the increased vulnerability of our underserved population will perhaps impact how medical care is distributed in the future. The prevalence of COVID-19 has had a disproportionate impact on the poor, minorities, and a broad range of vulnerable populations due to its inequitable spread in areas of dense population and limited mitigation capacity resulting from a high prevalence of chronic conditions or poor access to high-quality public health and medical care.[7] There has been a growing need for more research on health equity in order to increase global knowledge and allow cross-national learning of what works for those most in need due to the direct and collateral effects of COVID-19. It has also been demonstrated that a pandemic can quickly destroy many characteristics of our society, affecting the economic, social, and personal habits of people in all countries. The World Health Organization has warned of a mental health burden related to the spread of COVID-19 infection through the global population: stress, worry, fear, and changes in our daily lives (working from home, temporary unemployment, homeschooling, etc.) are all challenging people’s mental and physical health as well as the global health care system and economy.[8]",True,The Reciprocal Development of COVID-19 and Its Assessment,,,, +7bc2a51d-280e-4918-b0c6-3d16bf932d13,https://pressbooks.palni.org/ultrasoundphysicsanditsapplicationinmedicine/,8. Pulmonary Ultrasound,https://pressbooks.palni.org/ultrasoundphysicsanditsapplicationinmedicine/chapter/pulmonary-ultrasound/,"COVID-19 has been a very humbling condition to deal with for any health care professional.

Clarifying the underlying causes and developing a meaningful, effective, and focused diagnostic algorithm are critical. Lung ultrasound will almost certainly be an essential consideration in the care of these patients, and it has been shown to be useful for the diagnosis of COVID-19 in the acute stage of the disease.[18] Clofent et al. were able to show, in their study of 352 adult long-COVID patients with a long-term follow-up of 2–5 months, that lung ultrasound could be implemented as a first-line diagnostic procedure in the treatment course.[19] It was shown that the outcome of lung ultrasound in adults could produce good discrimination between patients with persistent abnormalities compared with high-resolution CT. However, in this population, Clofent et al. found a high rate of interstitial lung disease after acute COVID-19 infection. On the other hand, according to a study conducted on children and adolescents by Gräger et al.,[20] lung ultrasound is not suitable as a standard in the follow-up of long-COVID patients without initial pneumonia or pathological findings in an existing baseline examination. They concluded that better standard examination protocols need to be established for this patient group.

This is somewhat helpful when the medical provider evaluates issues such as whether to try to delay a patient in preterm labor or if induction of a patient who continues pregnancy more than 10 days after the estimated date of confinement (EDC) is indicated. Both of these issues have several determining factors. For preterm labor, infant mortality significantly decreases as delivery is delayed in many cases. For postterm situations, having a healthy term fetus more than 10 days after the EDC may pose unnecessary risks. These are complex decisions based on such data. To further complicate the issue, gestational dating may have variable accuracies. Some individuals have little or no prenatal care (i.e., some show up only to the emergency department when they are about to deliver or deliver at home without ever being evaluated by a medical provider). If one does have prenatal care and prenatal ultrasound, gestational dating accuracy remains variable. The facet that introduces the most variability is the gestational age at which the scan is performed. It has been traditionally noted that gestational dating accuracy has an 8% variability of the maturity of the pregnancy.[5] An example is that a 45-day gestation would have an accuracy of ±days, and a pregnancy of approximately 250 days would have an accuracy of ±20 days.

Color flow imaging evaluates the Doppler flow information for its direction toward or away from the transducer based on the color display. A commonly used acronym for remembering the color and direction is BART—blue away, red toward. The PW Doppler does not continuously transmit and receive the ultrasound pulse. Multiple crystals in the transducer are excited in a quick burst, producing ultrasound waves. This transmission burst is then followed by a “listening” period during which the crystals detect the reflected signals. Signals from more superficial structures are received sooner than those from deeper structures with more extended “listening” periods. This feature allows signals only from specific depths to be processed, thereby controlling sample size and range resolution. Therefore, two vessels located above each other can be evaluated separately, and vessels can also be followed as their courses change. The PW Doppler wave is site-specific and can only measure low-flow velocities—it cannot correctly measure high velocities (above –m/s). The CW Doppler uses two piezoelectric crystals, one to emit ultrasound continuously and the other to receive the reflected waves continuously. This results in a fixed sample size and no range resolution or ability to place the sample volume at a specific depth. It also cannot create anatomic images. It is used for precise settings such as very high peak systolic velocities.1 The CW Doppler measures very high blood flow velocities, and the color flow CF Doppler is a PW Doppler with multiple gates that allow it to measure the flow velocity through the heart on the two-dimensional echocardiographic image. Physicians often use Doppler imaging to detect blockages to the blood flow (due to clots), constriction of vessels or tumors, and congenital vascular malformations.
