A number of diseases affect the heart, including acute myocardial infarction (AMI), congestive heart failure, and cardiac arrhythmias. These diseases cause millions of deaths worldwide each year, making the use of cardiovascular ultrasound an essential tool in treating these ailments. Cardiovascular ultrasound devices are used in a variety of procedures, including cardiac rhythm management, cardiovascular prosthetics, and surgery. The heart has four chambers, separated by valves, known as the Tricuspid Valve, Pulmonic Valve, Mitral Valve, and Aortic Vessel. The heart is situated more medially than many people think. This is the reason why the aortic view is ideal for assessing right heart strain. Alternatively, the apical view allows doctors to accurately calculate the dimensions of the heart's valves.

The first convention for interpreting cardiovascular ultrasound was developed by cardiologists in the 1960s. The physician stands at the patient's anatomic left, and the probe indicator is on the right side. The monitor screen is located on the left side. Emergency physicians soon adopted this technology for several applications. They also used ultrasound as procedural guidance. These two conventions were not mutually exclusive, and the technology evolved to serve both specialties. With more applications, the technology has become a valuable tool in the medical community.

In the event of a suspected right-heart strain, a cardiovascular ultrasound can help determine if a patient has a pulmonary embolism. During the examination, doctor may detect an RV to LV ratio of 0.6 to one. This ratio can help differentiate between patients with no significant history of heart disease or pulmonary embolism. Once the diagnosis has been established, a physician can determine the best treatment for patient’s condition.

To undergo a cardiovascular ultrasound, patients are asked to lie on their side or back. They are given a colorless gel to apply to the transducer area. A handheld ultrasound wand will then be passed across patient’s chest to obtain images of the heart. Depending on the severity of patient’s heart problem, the exam may take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. There are no known side effects or risks associated with cardiac ultrasound, and it is a safe test. Recently in October 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted 510k clearance to GE Healthcare for its Ultra Edition Package on Vivid cardiovascular ultrasound systems that include new features based on SI allowing clinicians to acquire quicker and frequent exam consistently.

                                                                                                         Label-Free Array Systems Label-free array systems are widely used in the drug discovery process by biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. A system works on principle of optical interferometry, impedance-based assays, and refractive index to identify and validate new molecules as the possible drug candidates. Moreover, the system helps to reduce the cost and time for drug identification and validation process. In the past few years, label-free array systems have taken center stage as an effective research tool in all major clinical drug discovery processes. Label-free array systems comprises two types of biosensors, namely optical and impedance-based biosensors, including techniques such as bio-layer interferometry, isothermal titration calorimetry, surface plasmon resonance, and others. Of which, surface plasmon resonance is the most commonly used technique. The main advantag

Cataract Surgery Devices have significantly improved over the years with rising emphasis on the safety of the patient and accuracy of the surgery

Image
                                                          Cataract Surgery Devices Cataract surgery involves replacing the natural lens of the eye with an intraocular lens. The condition causes a cloudy vision. The natural lens of the eye has become opaque. In order to correct this problem, a person may need this procedure. The surgery is commonly known as a lens replacement. Although it is not a traumatic procedure, it can be painful and requires several sessions. However, it is not the only option for this condition. A high-frequency ultrasound device is used during cataract surgery. The surgeon will remove the lens with the use of a suction device. The surgery can be done on the day of the procedure. A temporary prescription eye shield will help to recover faster. After the procedure, the patient will still need to wear glasses or contacts. One can even start a new activity right after the surgery. The process of recovery varies depending on the specific needs and the extent of the
