8 weeks pregnant went in for ultrasound saw sac but no baby now have to wait for another week for another ultrasound is it normal to be off on the weeks pregnant?

it is called a blighted ovum if your counting of the age of gestation is correct and yet no baby is formed except of the sac. on the otherhand if you are not sure of your counting then do an ultrasound 1-2 weeks after your first ultrasound to see whether the baby develops or not at all. just cant flawlessly explain the blighted ovum. check out on the web or much better ask your physician.


Why isn't ultrasound used to examine bones and lungs?

Because ultrasound works by passing sound waves through tissue and measuring their return by deflection on a surface back to the ultrasound probe. Bone is a high density material, so reflects a high fraction of the sound waves back to the probe, making it difficult to measure different density. The lungs are filled with air, which a low density material, so the sound waves pass through the lung, and a small fraction are deflected, which makes visualising tissue very hard. This answer is now in the museum of history of medicine. Ultrasound is very useful for lung examination in patients. It is now possible to quickly examine a patient for pulmonary edema, pneumothorax, pleural effusion, ARDS and many other diseases. Please go to google and search for "Lessnau".

Can a karyotype determine eye color?

A karyotype is chart that shows all the chormosomes paired up and in order. A karyotype cannot determine eye color but it can determine what colors that specific person carries and can pass down to the next generation. BUT to determine what the next generation eye color will look like, it is not possible yet, but you can do a punnett square and that will show you the possible choice(s).

Can a horse be pregnant even if she has a negative ultrasound?

Depending on the date of the ultrasound the mare could still be pregnant under certain circumstances. 1) If the mare has many uterine cysts a pregancy could be mistaken for a cyst. 2) If the conceptus is not large enough to be observed at the time of the ultrasound. (ex. the ultrasound is done at what is thought to be day 12 post ovulation but the conceptus is only at day 10). 3) The mare double ovulated and only the younger conceptus, which has gone unobserved, continues to develop. Usually, the veterinarian determines if the mare has double ovulated during the course of each ultrasound. If the mare does not return to heat as expected after a negative ultrasound she should be rechecked for pregnancy and, if open, the veterinarian may be able to determine the rootcause for her failure to return to heat.


Is it possible for a man to get the results of an ultrasound for prostate cancer on the same day as the ultrasound?
