 Introduction You may be wondering what a fertility center does and how it works. A fertility center is a place where people who are having trouble getting pregnant can go to seek help. There are many different reasons why someone might have difficulty getting pregnant, and a fertility center will have a variety of treatments available to help address the issue. When you're ready to start a family, one of the first steps is visiting a fertility center. But what does that involve? How does it work? Here's a quick overview of the basics of how a fertility center works. First, you'll meet with a doctor or nurse who will ask you about your medical history and any fertility concerns you may have. They'll also do a physical exam and order any necessary tests. Based on that information, they'll develop a treatment plan tailored specifically for you. That plan may include medication, fertility treatments or surgery. Once you begin treatment, the fertility center will monito...

  Take an Introduction As the world of medicine continues to evolve, so do the technologies used to treat patients. From groundbreaking new surgeries to innovative diagnostic methods, there are countless new technologies being developed all the time. While some of these technologies are still in the testing phase, others are already being used in hospitals and clinics around the world. Here is a list of 10 of the most groundbreaking new technologies in the medical field. Crispr You might have heard of CRISPR, which is short for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats. CRISPR is a new technology that is being used in the medical field to edit genes. This technology has the potential to cure diseases, improve crops, and make other advancements in the medical field. CRISPR is a new technology that is being used in the medical field to edit genes.

SPECT is a nuclear medicine technique used to create a three-dimensional representation of the distribution of an administered radio-pharmaceutical.  SPECT cameras detect only radio-nuclides that produce a cascaded emission of single photons.  SPECT radio-nuclides do not require an on-site cyclotron. However, the isotopes of Tc,TI,In,and Xe are generally not found in the body.  For example, it is extremely difficult to label a biologically active pharmaceutical with Tc-99m without altering its biochemical behavior.  Presently, SPECT has been used mainly in the detection of tumors and other lesions, as well as in the evaluation of myocardial function using TI-201.  However, certain pharmaceuticals have been labeled with iodine and technetium and provide information on blood perfusion within the brain and the heart.  The largest category of SPECT systems uses a single gamma camera mounted on a specialized mechanical gantry that automatically rotate...

 Positron emission tomography   Positron emission tomography is an imaging modality for obtaining in vivo cross-sectional images of positron-emitting isotopes that demonstrate biological function, physiology, or pathology.   In this technique, a chemical compound with the desired biological activity is labeled with a radioactive isotope that decays by emitting a positron or positive electrons.   The emitted positron almost immediately combines with an electron and the two are mutually annihilated with the emission of two gamma rays.   The two gamma-ray photons travel in almost opposite directions, penetrate the surrounding tissue, and are recorded outside the subject by a circular array of detectors.   A mathematical algorithm applied by the computer rapidly reconstructs the spatial distribution of the radioactivity within the subject for a selected plane and displays the resulting image on the monitor.   Thus, PET provides a non-invasive regiona...

Heart Lung Machine (HLM): A heart-lung machine is  a device called a cardiopulmonary bypass used to provide temporary mechanical circulatory support. HLM(heart-lung machine) is a device that provides blood circulation and oxygenation while the heart is stopped. It is a means of keeping a patient alive while his/her heart is stopped or even removed from the body. Indicating its function as a substitute for the normal functions of the heart (cardio) and lungs (pulmonary). It is the heart's function to provide blood circulation at all times. It pushes blood out into the body and through the lungs. It must function every minute of every day of life to maintain the health of the tissues throughout the body.   Components of HLM Cardioplegia Cannula Blood Reservoir Heparin Pumps Roller pumps/Centrifugal pump Oxygenators Heat exchangers Block Diagram: 1. Cardioplegia            Heart-lung machine circuit consists of a separate circuit for infusing a solut...

Departments in a Hospital: How They Work Together to Provide Multispeciality Care 1. Departments in a Hospital: How They Work Together to Provide Multispeciality Care      No matter what kind of condition you are coming into the hospital with, you can be sure that you will be seen by the right type of doctor in the right department. But how does this system work? How do all of the different departments in a hospital manage to come together and provide multispeciality care? In this article, we will explore the inner workings of a hospital and how its different departments work together to provide the best possible care for patients.  2. The Different Types of Departments in a Hospital       In a hospital, different departments work together to provide multispecialty care. For example, the emergency department treats patients with urgent medical conditions, while the intensive care unit provides care for patients with serious and life-threatening ...

 Medical coding is a profession that entails assigning codes to healthcare providers and procedures. These codes are then used by payers, coders, and other healthcare providers in order to categorize diagnosis and treatments.      There are several career paths that are available for medical coding professionals. These include becoming a medical programmer, an independent contractor or working within an institution such as a hospital or medical facility.      Medical coders work with the healthcare industry, government agencies and insurance companies to assign codes for all health care transactions. This includes diagnoses of diseases, prescriptions for drugs, procedures performed on patients and hospital stays.      Medical coding is a profession where someone can use the codes to represent medical terms and diagnoses for patient information.      Medical coders are responsible for assigning the proper diagnosis and proc...
