Ultrasounds

Health care is a rapidly changing industry. The recent Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) rules and regulations reflect this change. www dot spectramedi dot com, the U.S. based Medical Transcription Services, believes that these final regulations represent a significant opportunity for the healthcare industry in the US to become extensively more efficient and cost-effective, while ensuring the privacy, confidentiality and security of clients' data. By simplifying the administration of the system and enabling health care businesses to be conducted electronically in a standardized manner, these regulations will offer enormous financial benefits to healthcare enterprises individually, and to the U. S. Healthcare system over all.

In the United States there is no degree or certification needed for the medical billing field although that may change in the future once the governing bodies get a firm grip on the coding industry.

There is nothing that says to be a medical coder that you have to earn a degree or become certified in the profession. However, if this field is what you are going to basing your career on then you should become certified through either AHIMA or the AAPC. This will show that you are a very competent coder, that you are aware of and are on top of all the current coding changes and that you are dedicated to the profession which all leads to more money in your pocket when you are looking for employment.

Also gaining certificates of completion or certifications in HIPAA, Workman's Compensation, etc. will greatly increase your earning potential as a coder because it shows that you go above and beyond what most people in the industry know.

Hospitals usually require certification such as the CPC. However, doctor's offices will hire without certification. It alls starts with quality education.

Since you didn't specify, I can only guess you mean uterine "prominent endometrial echo". If you mean cardiac, I can't help so much.

It generally means that the endometrium (lining of the uterus) has a thickened appearance on an pelvic ultrasound. In and of itself, it is a pretty nonspecific finding, and further testing may have to be done to determine a cause.

Hope this helps.

I just had this happen. I am 4-5 weeks and had a vaginal ultrasound and nothing showed. The ultrasound specialist, radiologist, er dr and an obgyn all told me that's normal around this time. I went back for bloodwork the next day and my HCG levels doubled. Good Luck. =) They have my "official" ultrasound scheduled at about 10 weeks.

pregnancie

There isn't a formula.

It's common knowledge to know that there are 52 weeks in a year

The answer to both questions is no. The GYN can't tell, and ultrasound can only see changes if you're pregnant now or were pregnant in the last couple of weeks, at the most.

It can be one of two things either you are not far enough along for the baby to appear on ultrasound or you have miscarried, which in that case you would have been made aware of when they did the ultrasound.

yes i am 5 weeks and had ultrasound yestreday seen the sac but not the baby yet had cramping pain but i think it will be ok i have had 3 misscarges befor and the pain was diffrent iand i would of started bleeding allready if it was again a misscarge

Yes ... call and make an appointment soon. Anytime something abnormal happens in our bodies like this we should seek the advice of our physician. They are trained for this and will be able to provide an answer.

ultrasounds cannot show air, which is what the bowel contains

yes

I believe the father of the baby determines the sex of the baby.

No other human nearby... no, its not safe. If you had a doula or a mid-wife or even a friend or relative that had witnessed births before you might be on the safer side, but to be alone is not safe. Even people in underdeveloped countries have others around them for support, medical assistance and emergencies. You may become so overwhelmed with pain that you might be delirious or you could pass out. Its dangerous for you and your child. At least look into getting a midwife. Contact Birthright 1-800-550-4900, http://www.birthright.org The organization will help you find a free clinic or doctor for your pre-natal care and transportation and assistance when it comes time for delivery. You should have someone to help you. Whether it is a midwife or your husband, someone needs to be there in case of emergeny or it isn't safe. Make sure the person helping has studied up on it with you. I don't know the law in every state in the US but in the UK it is illegal for a mother to give birth without a registered midwife or a medical practitioner in attendance, except in an emergency.

There are normally no restrictions on eating and drinking before a pelvic ultrasound, except for the requirement to have a full bladder. Call the radiology department you plan to use and ask for advice specific to your situation.

By a doctor name Kori Bryant will get made and enraged on it and start shooting people if they are name Joseph smih.

internal bleeding from injured abdominal organs is often the most serious threat to survival. Neither the injuries nor the bleeding may be immediately apparent. Ultrasound is very useful as an initial scan when abdominal trauma is suspected

yes

Yes, 100%.

I'm not sure what the chances are per se, but there are many cases of misdiagnosed missed miscarriages, especially with tilted uteruses. You might want to take a look at the website www.misdiagnosedmiscarriage.com, which has a number of stories of women whose babies' heartbeats were not found until much later in the pregnancy -- in one case, not until Week 13.

Hope this is helpful and that the doctors are wrong in your case.

Each school has a general surgical tech program. Most schools offer the same type of classes for this program. When you get to a specified job, each job will train you with anything different or unique that they might do.

Basically it's a fancy word for high speed centrifugation. Modern ultracentrifuges can reach speeds resulting in 150,000x gravitational force (gs).

Oh you can't tell it that way. You need to do a ultrasound for that so they can see. You can't just truest the heartbeat.

I'm not an expert, but in Obstetrics GA usually refers to gestational age, and EDD usually is Estimated/Expected Date of Delivery, so I think it probably means the gestational age is consistent with the expected date of delivery.

To check on the little peanut, below the belly button and as it gets bigger all over that big round buddah belly, that's when it is the hottest (and no I am not joking) you lay on your back and you literally can't see your feet cause that big old round belly is completely blocking your sight.

From an Rn: yes, it is called the point of maximum intensity or pmi. It's normal. Good Luck Joymaker
