Las madres que amamantan, en algunos casos, no pueden amamantar a sus bebés debido a la leche inadecuada. El bebé puede negarse a mamar debido a la lactancia materna, que puede o no ocurrir en absoluto. Hay algunas razones médicas para tener una tasa baja de fumar. Algunas cirugías de tórax, especialmente trastornos hormonales o enfermedades crónicas como la diabetes, son algunos de los inconvenientes asociados con las bajas tasas de tabaquismo. A veces, los motivos psicológicos pueden causar problemas de lactancia materna. Sistema de apoyo a la lactancia materna (EDS para abreviar)se usa para que el bebé continúe chupando cuando la madre no es suficiente y para que la alimentación no se interrumpa. Con este sistema, la madre puede continuar amamantando a su bebé. También es importante evitar que el bebé rechace a la madre cuando se consideran los beneficios de la madre y poder continuar con la madre. Con EDS, al bebé se le proporciona lactancia materna y lactancia así como también

Los dispositivos CPAP-BPAP se usan para tratar enfermedades de las vías respiratorias superiores, como la apnea del sueño (SAOS o CSAS) o trastornos pulmonares como la EPOC. Mientras que las variantes de CPAP y OTOCPAP se usan generalmente en hogares o laboratorios de sueño, dispositivos como BPAP y BPAP ST se usan en hogares y en varias partes de hospitales.

Samsung received FDA clearance and is unveiling its new RS85A general purpose premium ultrasound system. It features the company’s technologies such as MV-Flow, which lets clinicians see flow through micro vascularized structures and help diagnose cancer in many cases, and S-Shearwave Imaging (shown above), a shearwave elastography technique which quantifies tissue elasticity, particularly useful when looking for breast and liver tumors. The device was made to help reduce clinicians’ fatique and to perform exams faster. The monitor arm, for example, has a greater range of motion and tilt, allowing the screen to be positioned for easy visibility while scanning the patient. Additionally, actions that previously required multiple button presses and know adjustments, can now be performed with less input from the user.ons. Here’s a feature list of the RS85A according to Samsung: MV-Flow™: Allows for visualization of slow-flow micro vascularized structures, which can be difficul

1. American College of Cardiology (ACC) Apps Our first selection for the best medical app of 2017 is actually a suite of apps produced by the ACC. Previously on iMedicalApps, we reviewed their outstanding ASCVD and Anticoag Evaluator apps. In 2017, they fired off a trifecta of stellar apps: DAPT calculator, BridgeAnticoag, and LDL-C Manager. The last combines all three of their cholesterol apps in one: ASCVD, Statin Intolerance, LDL-C Lowering Therapy 2. Joshua Steinberg, MD Not an app, but a family physician who develops some of the best medical apps for primary care. 2017 was no exception with several new apps, including Contraception, Health Maintenance Visit Checklist, and updates to Pneumonia Guide and ABG Eval. Plus, many of his apps are now available for Android. This time he teamed up with Dr. Katherine Holmes from the Reproductive Health Access Project (RHAP) to create a quick reference app for students, residents, and faculty in primary care. Over the past 18 months,

The FDA granted Medtronic its approval for the Guardian Connect continuous glucose monitor. It’s intended for diabetes patients between 14 and 75 years of age that tend to get multiple daily insulin injections. A small wireless device, the Guardian Sensor 3, is attached to the skin, which takes regular blood samples to test for sugar levels, transmitting the readings to the patient’s smartphone. The Guardian Connect App can be used to access the latest and all the previous readings, and to understand trends in relation to one’s activities and eating habits. When glucose levels go beyond pre-defind limits, the app can sound alerts and send out messages to family and caretakers. The physician can access the data via Medtronic’s CareLink system, which compiles the readings into charts and reports. What’s particularly interesting is that the system uses predictive algorithms to let patients know of high chances for unwanted events. Medtronic says that sometimes the system provide

Orthofix, a company out of Lewisville, Texas, won FDA clearance and CE Mark approval for the latest PhysioStim bone growth stimulators. PhysioStim devices deliver pulsed electromagnetic fields that are used to repair nonunion fractures within the arms and legs that have not exhibited healing on their own. The resulting electric field that is established at the site of the fractures is what directly stimulates the bone to grow. What’s new in the latest version of the PhysioStim is connectivity to the STIM onTrack app for iOS devices. Using this app, patients receive reminders, are guided through their therapy regimen, while their physicians can check up on adherence to the prescription. Here’s a video promoting the previous version of the PhysioStim, which features the same healing capabilities as the latest model:

Smartphones have become commonly used tools in modern hospitals, connecting clinicians to in-house electronic medical records, providing research capabilities, and even functioning as the core components of medical tools such as ophthalmoscopes, stethoscopes, and even therapeutic devices. Yet, smartphones are designed for consumers and often lack features important when used in medicine. Spectralink, a company out of Boulder, Colorado, is releasing a new line of Smartphones designed specifically for use in healthcare. The Spectralink Versity phones are resistant to water and chemicals (IP-68 rated), so blood and other liquid contaminants can be washed off, preventing the spread of infections. Hot swappable battery technology allows the user to remove a battery running low and replace it with a fresh one without having to reboot the phone. Echo cancellation, noise suppression, and a few other sound boosting technologies let the user hear well in noisy environments and to use the

5. One Minute Ultrasound Clinical Utility: A great application if you are starting to learn Ultrasound as a medical student or as an intern, especially since it is free. The app has been reviewed by iMedicalApps before. It teaches the initial skills required for ultrasound. Not as useful to use at the point of care since the app has short videos and you can’t scroll through pictures or reference material. Developed by the venerable EM Ultrasound team, Mike and Matt, who run the website, Ultrasound Podcast. User Interface: Relatively clear interface with tiles: FAST, Gallbladder, DVT, Aorta, Soft Tissue, Wall Motion, and “More”. “More” contains a set of other one minute ultrasound videos. Each of these has a short, one minute clip (hence the name of the app) about the particular topic. It should be noted the app can only be used if you have an internet connection. The tiles basically link out to a video that has to be streamed. 4. Emergency Ultrasound Handbook Clinical Utili

Most people know of Parkinson’s disease and have a good idea of its symptoms, but very few know much more than that about this progressive illness. Since Parkinson’s disease awareness month is around the corner (April), we’ve put together some simple stats and facts that you can share near and far. With help from the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation, everydayhealth.com, and ecaring.com, here are 11 facts about the disease most people don’t know. (Some of them may even surprise you!) It’s a movement disorder.  Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease whereby cells responsible for producing dopamine die off in the substantia nigra area of the brain. Dopamine is essential for movement as it acts as a transmitter for signals from the brain to other parts of the body. Who found it? Parkinson’s disease was discovered by British surgeon Dr. James Parkinson in 1817. How prevalent is it? Approximately one million people have Parkinson’s disease in the U.S. and there are aro
