Typically, a medical device case study is a 500 to 800-word article on how the device improves the diagnosis or treatment of patients. It can also be a success story of how the device increased productivity, revenues, saved money, improved regulatory compliance or reduced downtime. Essentially, a case study is the end user’s testimonial on the benefits of the device. The structure of a case study for a patient diagnostics, for example, typically includes the following sections: 1. Title 2. Case history 3. Procedure description 4. Discussion 5. Conclusion The title is the most important part of a case study. It must entice the reader to read further. To do this, it should focus on the benefits of...

X-rays use invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs on film or digital media. Standard x-rays are performed for many reasons, including diagnosing tumors or bone injuries. X-rays are made by using external radiation to produce images of the body, its organs, and other internal structures for diagnostic purposes. X-rays pass through body structures onto specially-treated plates (similar to camera film) or digital media and a "negative" type picture is made (the more solid a structure is, the whiter it appears on the film). When the body undergoes x-rays, different parts of the body allow varying amounts of the x-ray beams to pass through. The...

I would like to tell you a story about my partner and his experiences regarding an injury he suffered to his left knee. This story is written from his perspective. It goes like this.... "It was only a few months ago when I stopped playing with my children. It wasn't out of choice but rather circumstance. It happened one afternoon when my two young children wanted a game of cricket. I said, 'OK, let's have a game.' Five minutes later I was in pain and could hardly walk. It was just a simple swing of the bat that did it. The pain I felt in my left knee was excruciating, my knee had 'locked' and I was hopping around screaming out in agony as if I was demonstrating some primitive tribal voodoo dance...

It will not normally take long to recover from whiplash injury, and you may well see improvements within days. However, whiplash can be painful for up to two weeks, and you may feel pain in the back, neck shoulders and head. Most people who suffer whiplash injury, can return to work in a couple of weeks, if not before, depending on the severity of the injury.whiplash injury claims There is no specific treatment for whiplash, and it will not show up on an X-ray or CT scan. If you suffer severe whiplash injury you may need specialist treatment or even surgery, but most cases of whiplash clear up quite quickly, with the aid of a soft collar or gentle exercise. It is possible for sufferers of severe...

These techniques are mainly used to diagnose and stagebronchogenic carcinoma, but occasionally are required toconfirm other malignancies (e.g. lymphoma) or to diagnosethe causes of adenopathy (e.g. sarcoidosis or tuberculosis).At mediastinoscopy an incision is made above thesuprasternal notch, the tissues anterior to the trachea aredissected and the mediastinoscope is inserted. Hilar, subcarinaland paratracheal nodes can be inspected, biopsiedor removed. The involvement of mediastinal nodes inbronchogenic carcinoma is common (40% of all cases) anda positive diagnosis is achieved in sarcoidosis in more than80% of cases. Mediastinotomy is occasionally required to evaluateareas of the mediastinum not...

A trip to the Doctor's Office Doctors approach sciatica treatment by performing physical and neurological examinations in order to determine the cause of sciatica. If needed, they may request more involved tests such as a MRI scan to further investigate the cause. Once diagnosed, an effect sciatica treatment can be implemented. This will usually involve the use of different types of drugs such as NSAID's (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents), steroids and possibly opiate derived pain relievers. In rare cases, surgery may be suggested for sciatica treatment. Chiropractic Sciatica Treatment Chiropractors, through the use of manually induced spinal adjustments, can often help the symptoms of...

Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) is the 6th most common cancer among males in Singapore. This disease hits hard because the peak incidence occurs in people who are in the prime of their working and family lives. In Singapore, it is the second and third commonest cancer in males aged 15 to 34 years and 35 to 64 years respectively. The key to the management of NPC is early detection. There is a 90% cure rate if the disease is treated at an early stage. This cancer has a distinct racial and geographical distribution. The highest incidence of NPC is in the Southern part of China (Guangdong province) and Hong Kong hence the name "Cantonese Tumour". The incidence is also high among North Africans, the...

Statistics provided by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement determine that medical errors that could have been avoided are responsible for a whopping 238,000 deaths in a two year period. The medical errors that cause these deaths then result in raising our yearly health care costs by billions of dollars. Almost one million patients are injured each year as a result of medical errors, and nearly one fifth of those people end up dying. This is an astounding number of deaths and injuries that could have been prevented. While these numbers have raised a great amount of controversy, very little has been done to implement change in procedure. Health care workers like doctors and nurses are often...

Working days lost in the US alone due to back pain runs into hundreds of millions. Our back is highly complex mechanism and even with the use of modern technology pin pointing the exact cause of low back problems can be difficult and challenging. At the center of our back is the spine, with a sophisticated inter linking of vertebrae and various bones. The spinal column itself is supported by a complex array of muscles and ligaments. Many back problems occur as a result of some change in the spinal column. These changes often happen after an injury to the neck or back. Any shift in our spinal column alignment causes the muscles tighten up and go into spasm, making the muscle work continuously...

Have you recently been in a car accident? If you are experiencing pain in your neck after an accident, you may be suffering from whiplash. Whiplash, also called cervical sprain or strain, is a soft tissue injury. The sudden forward and backward motion of the neck beyond it's normal range of motion may cause the muscles and ligaments to become over-stretched. Symptoms of whiplash may arise immediately post injury or develop days, weeks, or even months later. Symptoms may vary widely person to person, injury to injury. Whiplash discomfort may include: - Neck pain, sometimes radiating into the shoulders and upper back - Burning or tingling sensation - Headaches - Dizziness - Pain with neck movement...

Foot arthritis could be described as one of the more common forms of arthritis. The problem with the foot is that it consists of 28 bones and 30 joints, of which any are susceptible to arthritis. If arthritis develops in any of these joints, its going to affect the way you walk, run and move in general. The joints in the foot which are more commonly affected are: the big toe, the ankle, the mid foot and the hind foot joint. The most common form of arthritis which develops in the foot is osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is the result of getting older, and essentially wear and tear on the joints and cartilage. The cartilage wears down, and the bones rub together resulting in pain and swelling. Traumatic...

Traumatic osteoarthritis or post-traumatic osteoarthritis as it is better known is mainly caused due to an injury of the joints, followed by a number of physiological and mechanical changes. A patient may develop arthritis in a joint which may have been previously injured. The development of arthritis in that joint though may or may not be related to the injury. The progressive degeneration of the joint after an injury along with the genetic or other natural causes of bone degeneration worsen the condition as the patient grows in age. It is extremely important for the treatment, to know whether or not the condition is a direct consequence of the injury. There are various factors which can lead to...

Rod was hurtling down a mountain single track on his mountain bike when he misjudged the bend in the track. He lost it and broke his arm. After one night in hospital he was discharged. Peter was playing for his schools 1st XV in the penultimate rugby match of the season when he was tackled and broke two ribs. He was admitted for x-rays and discharged with a strapped torso and instructions not to play rugby for six weeks. I was out in the mountains marking a route for an adventure race when we got stuck. In the process of pulling the 4X4 truck out of a mud hole a metal bar struck me in the face, shattering my left cheek, sinus cavity and eye socket. After two days in hospital, which included six...

Pain in the arm, shoulder or neck is often a clear indication of a herniated cervical disc. In specific these symptoms may involve any of the following: dull or severe pain between your neck and shoulder blades; pain that shoots down your arm towards your fingers; and a tingling sensation in the shoulder or arm. Turning the neck certain ways and angles can also induce the pain. A herniated cervical disc is a result of the breaking open of the outer layer of the disc (annulus), which then allows the inner jelly like substance to protrude resulting in the herniated cervical disc. A herniated cervical disc does not always have instant symptoms- it may take time for the pain to be felt, and often the...

Lower back pain relief can be achieved in a variety of ways, but firstly itis important to get an accurate diagnosis for your particular ailment, sothat lower back pain relief can be correctly administered. A doctor will usuallyarrange for an MRI scan to detect the actual cause of your back pain.

There are different forms of arthritis; each has a different cause. The most common form of arthritis, OSTEOARTHRITIS (Degenerative Joint Disease) is a result of trauma to the joint, infection of the joint, or age. Emerging evidence suggests that abnormal anatomy might contribute to the early development of osteoarthritis. Other Arthritis forms are RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS and PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS, autoimmune diseases in which the body attacks itself. SEPTIC ARTHRITIS is caused by joint infection. GOUTY ARTHRITISis caused by deposition of uric acid crystals in the joint, causing inflammation. There is also an uncommon form of gout caused by the formation of rhomboid crystals of calcium pyrophosphate...

Experienced clinicians begin the process of making a diagnosis upon first laying eyes on a patient, and probability is one of the main tools they use in this process. A glimpse "behind the scenes" from the point of view of a diagnosing physician might help to explain an otherwise mysterious process. The diagnostic process can begin even before laying eyes on the patient. As an exercise (and to prove a point) I ask medical students who are with me in the office to diagnose the patient we haven't seen yet who is still in the waiting room. Of course, they look at me like I'm crazy. But I tell them that we already know a lot about the patient and can make some educated guesses. For example, we might...

Spine surgery is something many of us will undergo at some time. The numbers just can't be avoided! It is estimated 4.6 million of us will need spine surgery at some time, and 533,839 spine procedures were performed in 1999 alone. Fortunately, in most cases, the results are good. For example, a report in 2005 of an assessment of 622 of 847 patients treated in 2002 found 70 percent returned to work and full time activities. Even better, 85 percent reported they rarely if ever used medication for pain, following their operations. Pain in the back is the first sign of the need for surgery, of course. In older people pain in the back is to be expected. As their muscles degenerate, or a lifetime of bad...

Efficiently running a medical practice can be a very tough job in itself. Adding to this the bulky paperwork can cause lot of troubles in terms of filing them for appropriate usage. But now handling cumbersome documents is a lot easier with electronic medical record scanning (EMRS) through which you can maintain all the patient details and information stored in the form of data that can be referred anytime and from absolutely anywhere. By this automated system handling documents is more cost effective, maintainable and efficient. Through document imaging you can reduce the unnecessary bulk by transferring the documents into a more easily retrievable format. It is hence much easier and convenient to...

Chronic upper back pain may occur due to some form of trauma, bad posture and/or the constant use of the computer. Where the computer is concerned, you may have an improper tilt of the head due to improper screen height and/or constant use of the mouse. Therefore, upper back pain may also be accompanied by neck and/or shoulder pain. If you are right handed, your pain is most likely found on the right side. Generally, chronic upper back pain is due to muscle pain and/or joint complications. Upper muscular back pain occurs along the shoulder girdle that attaches to the muscles of the shoulder blade (scapula) and the back of the rib cage in the thoracic region. The upper back muscles easily develop...

Question: Two years ago, my daughter-in-law had a numbing sensation in her arms and legs. The doctors suspected multiple sclerosis but an MRI scan did not confirm this. The feeling has continued and she now has dizziness, too. Another MRI proved negative. She has two little boys and works full-time so is finding things very difficult although she has a lot of help from my son. Can you suggest anything? Answer: I have come across this problem before - more in women than men - and most patients get diagnosed as having multiple sclerosis, even though the MRI scans of the brain and spinal cord do not show signs of abnormality. I can understand how worried and upset she must be feeling. The three main...

For many, many years, silicone and saline implants have been the standard for breast augmentation surgeries performed in the United States. Even when silicone gel implants were banned for fourteen years, the FDA still allowed certain types of silicone implant surgeries to take place. And, of course, saline implants were used exclusively when it came to aesthetic-only surgeries. Both types of implants have been under the microscope when it comes to their general safety. This, of course, is truer with silicone gel implants. Most of these fears relate to an implant rupturing and then leaking silicone gel (or saline solution) into the human body. When a saline implant ruptures, it is very noticeable...

Mesothelioma is known as a lethal condition if not detected on time. There are however forms of mesothelioma that can not be lethal, and these ones are known as benign mesothelioma. These forms are known as less damaging forms of mesothelioma. This doesn't mean that people suffering from the benign form of mesothelioma are less prone to suffer from severe damage. This will not happen as long as treatment is sought on time, as such not letting the disease to threaten one's life. Down below some important factors are listed related to the benign mesothelioma condition. Whenever you hear of a benign mesothelioma, the instant thought is that one is dealing with a lethal condition. But in reality this is...

Benign multicystic mesothelioma is a form of non-cancerous mesothelioma. Mesothelioma affects the mesothelium, a protective membrane that protects and lines most of the body's internal organs, such as the lungs and the heart. It produces a fluid that lubricates the organs and prevents friction when they move against other internal organs in the body. The lungs, for example, can expand and contract during breathing without the danger of it getting worn or torn once it rubs against other structures. As a form of cancer, Mesothelioma is considered uncommon whether or not it is malignant or benign. Benign multicystic mesothelioma affects the peritoneal tissue of the abdomen. This is the lining that...

Mesothelioma is a rare and deadly form of cancer. It is caused from prolonged exposure to asbestos. Many people have been affected by mesothelioma but it is not an easy disease to diagnose. Analyzing the symptoms in the initial stages is a difficult procedure. The biggest problem that adds to the complication of a diagnosis is that the early symptoms are quite similar to other common diseases. unfortunately, this usually causes delays in the diagnosis. When dealing with a life threatening disease, delaying the diagnosis could spell disaster for the patient. Doctors need to be very precise when trying to diagnose mesothelioma. Clinical and radiological tests need to be conducted on the patient. The...

The testimony of the doctor who did the independent medical examination, is of prime importance in workplace injury litigations where the petitioner claims to suffer from some kind of work related injury or disability. Depending on the IME report of the petitioner's health status, the employer (or insurance carrier) can even refuse compensation to the employee. Worker's compensation is a type of insurance provided by employers in most industrial societies to ensure the welfare of their employees. It ensures that a worker can claim either financial support or medical care (the exact type of compensation depends on the workplace and work conditions) from the employer whenever he or she incurs a work...

MRI of the shoulder renders a highly accurate image of the shoulder joint and surrounding areas for detailed medical examination. It is regarded as the best non-invasive way of studying any problem with the bone, muscles and tendons in the region. Hi Resolution Cross Sectional Imaging The modern diagnostic modality has come a long way from X-rays and CT scans. Modern MRI makes use of a highly powerful magnet and radio waves to generate multiple hi resolution 3-D images of the shoulder area and the surrounding muscles, joint and tissues. MRI of the shoulder is commonly used to detect the following conditions: • Disorders in the rotator cuff • Infection or abscess • Arthritis • Labral tears...

Those who suffer from acid reflux and are looking for some acid reflux relief may experience more than complications other than bile reflux. Some acid reflux sufferers experience spasms in their esophagus. Your esophagus connects your throat to your stomach and is structured like a long tube. A healthy esophagus moves food to the stomach through a series of synchronized muscle contractions. Esophageal spasms upset this natural process creating many unpleasant symptoms. What is an esophageal spasm? Esophageal spasms occur when the muscle contractions within the esophagus lack coordination and prevent food from properly moving through your esophagus to the stomach. Esophageal spasms affect the...

It's a subject that fascinates people everywhere. Even people in the media, like ABC's Nightline, for instance. Some say it's of God while others say it's demonic. A Nazarene preacher told me that, when he was in preparation to teach about the gifts of the Spirit, he was not sure how to handle the gift of tongues. "My denomination doesn't believe in that...personally, I'm not so sure." A woman from a Church of Christ phoned me one day to say she wanted the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. We dropped everything to meet with her at mid-day. Though she didn't speak in tongues - not yet anyway - she wrote later to say that she felt she'd had a double espresso and a B-12 shot. Another woman, raised Baptist...

A Whiplash Neck Sprain or a Whiplash Neck Strain is the term used when the ligaments, muscles and/or tendons in your neck have been injured. As you are probably aware, your neck is made up of 7 bones which are collectively known as the Cervical Vertebrae. These neck bones are connected to each other by ligaments, muscles & tendons. When the neck is moved in an extreme way, as happens in road traffic accidents then these ligaments, muscles and tendons become over-stretched or can even tear. What are the symptoms of a Whiplash Neck Sprain. If you have suffered a Whiplash Neck Sprain then there is usually pain and a tenderness to the neck area, especially around the muscles, tendons and ligaments that...

The balance between providing security against threats and protecting our liberty has been fired up again with the airport body scanner issues raised in the first part of this year. In this article, we take a look at the two types of body scanners that are usually employed by security personnel. Security versus personal privacy. Personal liberty versus safety. Which should win out in modern society? There are proponents of each side and they often change positions depending on the specific facts being discussed! As technology continually evolves, the subject is only going to grow more controversial and more heated. Airport body scanners are just the latest hot topic. The millimeter wave scanner is...

I couldn't resist the title's corny riff on the name of the rock band and their movie, but the kind of spinal tap featured in this article was a spinal tap before Spinal Tap was Spinal Tap. (Does that make any sense?) Known more formally as a lumbar puncture, this kind of spinal tap is a valuable medical test with an interesting history. In 1891 Heinrich Quincke, of Kiel, Germany, introduced this procedure as we know it today. His original intent was to help babies suffering from hydrocephalus (water on the brain) by draining away excess fluid, but from the outset he was also interested in lumbar puncture's use as a diagnostic tool. To understand the usefulness of this test and why you might someday...

Be Wary of Treating Bone Spurs with Coral Calcium There are many websites that claim coral calcium can be used to successfully treat bone spurs, but unfortunately there are no medical studies that support this bold statement. Each of these websites has testimonials from customers claiming they have cured there bone spurs in only a few weeks by taking coral calcium. Before we can disprove, or believe the coral calcium testimonials we must first understand what a bone spur is. The term "bone spurs" is often misunderstood, as most are under the assumption that they are a sharp spur like structures poking into the spine, when in fact they are actually smooth abnormal growths formed on the bone over a...

Once you suffer from your first gallbladder attack, you will find yourself hoping that it never, again, happens. Unfortunately, if you have gallstones, the pain is very likely to return until you resolve the problem. While gallstones do not always cause a life threatening condition, you should never assume that you can simply "diet" away this problem. In most cases, once gallstones form, it will take medical intervention to get rid of them. Symptoms Associated with Gallstones Even though your gallbladder is located in the region below the right side of your ribcage, pains can show up in unusual places. This includes between your shoulder blades, just below the right shoulder, or in your back...

In order to peruse further into the complex mechanism of the human body, it is essential to be able to see its goings-on without having to resort to invasive methods. Short of prodding and poking the affected area to derive some form of findings, rays or beams of certain specifications perform the job with virtually no pain. The radiology technician or technologist comes into the scene as part of his trained profession to take pictures of the region of interest. Normally areas of such are due to injury, disease or condition of various reasons. Often the case is the importance placed on this group of health care professionals. At times, they are superseded by other medical practitioners who are...

--> Alzheimer’s disease is a complex and complicated illness, and its symptoms are frequently indicative of other disorders as well. As a result, the diagnostic process for the disease can be messy and complicated. Currently, the only definitive way to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease is to examine brain tissue for plaques and tangles. Unfortunately, so far, this can only be done in an autopsy. So you might be wondering “how is Alzheimer’s diagnosed?” Well, doctors must conduct a thorough examination so that they can rule out other possible causes of the symptoms you are experiencing. A diagnosis can be considered “possible” if all other causes cannot be ruled out. It can be...

Over the last five years I've spent much more time in the ER than I ever expected, mostly caring for loved ones, though a nasty kidney stone sent me there once. While no expert, I do consult and write extensively in the fields of customer care and client relations, so I tend to be attuned to obvious wins and losses in patient treatment. Last night was one of the better experiences, if there is such a thing under emergency conditions. All told, the stint lasted five hours. During that time, the patient received a CAT scan, an EKG and Echo EKG, various blood tests, a chest x-ray, and all of the vitals were monitored. These tests were absolutely necessary to rule out ultra-serious heart and lung...

Back in the 1990s many Marxist and Socialist commentators lamented the tepid increase in globalisation and the rise of some form of individual freedom across much of the world. For these statists, the power of trade, the individual and freedom of choice would entail a decrease in governmental power, welfare the caring institutions of the nanny state. They should not have been so concerned. A government and regulatory created financial panic will result in the endless accretion of state power; more international rules and regulations and more programs of love and caring for the unwashed, terrified masses. Jubilee. What caused the current crisis ? It is not a simplistic matter of Wall Street greed...

The Anatomy of the RSI Epidemic Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is fast becoming one of the most common forms of disability in the workplace. In some industries it is already the number one cause of a temporary and permanent disability. In this article I will explain why and how we develop the elusive RSI. The definition of RSI: Repetitive strain injury is a medical term used to describe a pain or discomfort of the upper limb. Although a 'repetitive strain' can occur in any area of the body, physicians typically apply the term to a pain of the arm unit including the neck, shoulder upper back, arm, forearm and hand, that is related to repetitive tasks. RSI is really an umbrella term used to catch any...

A recent Gallup study among 462 doctors revealed that a whopping 26% of our healthcare costs cover "defensive medicine." If you're not familiar with this term, think about the times your doctor has ordered a test for you that seems a little on the "iffy" side - you're not quite sure what the heck the test is for, or you've been through it before, and it seems like a big waste of time to you. But you dutifully follow doctor's orders because, after all, insurance is paying for it anyway. On the other hand, maybe you've insisted on a test that gave your doctor cause for pause. You didn't want to go to the effort of getting a second opinion, so you insisted until your doctor relented, and then off you...

Do you know what NASA has given us that isn't well known in our part of the world, yet it is used daily in many parts of the world for pain relief, relaxation, cell regeneration, etc.? Why are we kept in the dark about certain inventions and studies of NASA when knowing about them could make a big difference in our lives and in the lives of our loved ones or anyone suffering discomforts in their body? There are many inventions in our daily lives we just take for granted never giving a thought to where they originate, or who invented them. I want to share with you today one of these kept "secrets" we are not aware of, thus, we are being cheated from the benefits of this space technology. Since 1976...

Might you or someone you love be one of the many women that suffer needlessly with a ruptured ovarian cyst? You probably know that 75% of pre-menopausal women will put up with very painful ovarian cyst at some point in their life. In addition, a great number of women will eventually have to ask about options for ruptured ovarian cyst treatment. If you are afraid your cyst has ruptured, you shouldn't panic too much given that more often than not this condition isn't going to present critical health issues, even though it is quite painful. It should also give you some reassurance to learn that 95% of ovarian cysts are not cancerous. Most of these growths do not present serious problems and in most...

Whether it's from a bad roller coaster ride or a car accident, thousands around the world suffer from whiplash injuries every year. To be exact, it's been estimated that about 120,000 Americans suffer from some form of a whiplash injury every year. The pain can be unbearable at first, but with the right treatment and self-care, whiplash injuries do not have to have long term consequences. Immediate Care of Whiplash It is critical to address the injury right after it occurs. Apply an ice pack to the neck periodically within the first 24 hours of the injury and get some rest, relieving as much pressure as possible from the upper body. During this time it is important to contact a doctor to set up an...

Dental Implant Dental implants have revolutionized dentistry, making it possible to replace a single tooth or all teeth. Implants are inserted into the jawbone and aremade of titanium (this metal does well in the body and rarely causes any reaction in patients).Dental implants provide greater structural support and last longer than either dental bridges or dentures. They serve as the artificial root to which new teeth are bonded. Root implant :-In implant dentistry, this is the most popular form of dental implant. This type of dental implant is very effective and mirrors the size and shape of a patient's natural tooth. Once the dentist applies the local anesthesia, he or she makes an incision in...
