Stethoscope? Check . Blood pressure cuff? Check . Reflex hammer? Check . Personal ultrasound scanner?— really ? The concept of purchasing an ultrasound scanner to carry with you may appear far fetched for some medical professionals.  But the affordability and portability of a new class of ultrasound machines is inspiring a growing number of clinicians to make the investment. Here are five possible reasons a personal ultrasound device might be your new stethoscope: You moonlight somewhere Many physicians work in roles outside of a medical facility. This can include working in another clinic, at a local search and rescue facility, or even as an educator at a University. The portability of a mobile ultrasound device enables medical professionals to carry it wherever they may need to rely on ultrasound. You constantly need to wait to for a machine In a large emergency department with many medical professionals, obtaining access to an ultrasound scanner is sometim...

There are some health conditions that can be managed by simply taking a pill — but type 2 diabetes isn’t one of them. Diabetes is a complex condition that often requires lifestyle changes, and sometimes requires additional treatment. For some people, making healthful lifestyle changes can be enough to gain control over blood sugar levels. For others, taking medication may also be necessary. There are many drug options available, and the initial approach might need to be tweaked as treatment progresses. Treating Type 2 Diabetes With Lifestyle Changes The first approach to managing diabetes usually means practicing healthier lifestyle habits. This is often centered on eating a better diet, getting exercise, and losing weight if necessary. If your doctor says you need to make these changes, it’s smart to tailor them to your personal preferences so that you'll be more likely to stick with them. “First, I ask people about their exercise patterns and about what they like to eat...

You’ve heard it before – there’s an app for that. But how about an app that a patient can use to adjust their own brain stimulator? As CBS2’s Dr. Max Gomez reported, an iPod app is helping patients with Parkinson’s disease. People with Parkinson’s can have deep brain stimulators implanted, called DBS, to ease many of the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s such as tremors. But that electrical stimulation often has to be tweaked to get the best result. That is where an app comes in handy. Paul Detlefsen was only 36 when the Parkinson’s tremor in his right hand became so noticeable that he started avoiding going out in public. “It was like a public thing – a little depression. You know, my friends, ‘Let’s go out.’ I’m like, ‘Naw,’” Detlefsen said. Detlefsen had read about the side effects of Parkinson’s medications, so he instead opted for deep brain stimulation. “Two probes put into the brain, and runs down to a generator,” Detlefsen said. It sounds simple enough, but as neuro...

Consumers are being warned about the accuracy of heart rate apps after a study found huge variability between commercially available apps, even those using the same technology. The research is published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. "Heart rate apps come installed on many smartphones and once people see them it is human nature to use them and compare their results with others," said last author Dr. Christophe Wyss, a cardiologist at Heart Clinic Zurich, Switzerland. "The problem is that there is no law requiring validation of these apps and therefore no way for consumers to know if the results are accurate."This study tested the accuracy of four commercially available heart rate apps (randomly selected) using two phones, the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5. Some apps use contact photoplethysmography (touching fingertip to the phone’s built-in camera), while other apps use non-contact photoplethysmography (camera is held in front of the face). Accurac...

Hach, a company out of Loveland, Colorado, won the first FDA clearance for an automatic chlorine monitoring system for dialysis. The system performs checks of the water being used to prep dialysate every five minutes, making sure the levels stay low. If they rise too much, a monitor with an audio alarm on the patient floor will notify of the problem. The chlorine concentration of every test is recorded for later review and to comply with any regulatory requirements. These can be downloaded via an SD card or using a more permanent Ethernet connection for direct link-up with a clinic’s computer system. “For decades, Hach has pioneered and advanced chlorine analysis for municipal and industrial water treatment worldwide,” said Kevin Klau, president of Hach, in a press statement. “During the development of the Hach CM130, our scientists and engineers fully immersed themselves in the dialysis ecosystem to understand the needs of patients, administrators, staff and technicians.
