Red Ribbon Week is an alcohol, tobacco, and other drug and violence prevention awareness campaign observed annually in October in the United States. The National Family Partnership (NFP) provides drug awareness by sponsoring the annual National Red Ribbon Campaign™. NFP organized the first Nationwide Red Ribbon Campaign in 1988 but it got it's start independent of the NFP.
Enrique (Kiki) Camarena was a Drug Enforcement Administration Agent who was tortured and killed in Mexico in 1985. When he decided to join the US Drug Enforcement Administration, his mother tried to talk him out of it. "I'm only one person", he told her, "but I want to make a difference."
On Feb. 7, 1985, the 37-year-old Camarena left his office to meet his wife for lunch. Five men appeared at the agent's side and shoved him in a car. One month later, Camarena's body was found. He had been tortured to death.
In honor of Camarena's memory and his battle against illegal drugs, friends and neighbors began to wear red badges of satin. Parents, sick of the destruction of alcohol and other drugs, had begun forming coalitions. Some of these new coalitions took Camarena as their model and embraced his belief that one person can make a difference. These coalitions also adopted the symbol of Camarena's memory, the red ribbon.
In 1988, NFP sponsored the first National Red Ribbon Celebration. Today, the Red Ribbon serves as a catalyst to mobilize communities to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities.Can a baby's cervix be seen on ultrasound?
We I couldn't tell what we were looking at for sure at my ultrasound at 22 weeks but the technician said she was measuring the baby's cervix so i guess you can see it if you know what your looking for.
What are the sections of the CPT that contain codes for ultrasound procedures?
what are the three section of the CPT that contain codes for ultrasound procedure
Are there any known skin problems that are caused by ultrasound gel?
Thre are no known skin problems caused by quality ultrasound gel. The basic dematological requirement of the gel is that it should be free from skin irritants and sensitizers.
As long as the measurment date and your LMP date are with two (2) weeks plus or minus within each other then your baby is healthy... and the heart rate it very healthy.
Is an ultrasound EDD accurate if your period does not last normally seven days?
the EDD is the estimated date of delivery, with both of my children the edd was not correct. my first was born a week after the edd which was the date of conception plus 40 weeks. my second was born 10 days prior to the edd but i also had 4 different edd.
Estimated Date of Delivery is just that, Estimated. A baby can be born from 3 weeks before up to 2 weeks after with no problems.
With my first, his scan EDD was 10 days later than my period EDD and he was born on the scan EDD.
Second time around (twins) the scan and period EDD were the same but I was induced 4 weeks before with pre-eclampsia.
The only EDD that is accurate from an ultrasound is one done in the first trimester. The earlier the ultrasound is performed, the better. We measure what is known as the crown-rump length (the measurement from the top of the head to the baby's backside), and this measurement is the most accurate in predicting an EDD. First trimester ultrasounds are typically accurate within a week of how far along a baby actually is. Second trimester ultrasounds are up to two weeks off; and third trimester ones are up to three weeks off. What we are measuring, though, is how far along the baby really is--not when the baby will be born. As someone else mentioned, a due date is only an estimate--and only 5% of women actually deliver on their due date.

You are not pregnant but your dr is doing a pelvic ultrasound on your why is he doing that on you?
I have had lots of them your Dr maybe looking to see if you have a cyst, or a pollup, or fibroids on your ovaries. And sorry not sure that I spelled those correctly.
Why is ultrasound named as it is?
"Ultra" is a term used for describing things that are of a larger scale than original. In this case, Ultrasound is sound that is of higher frequency to be heard by human ear.
I just went in today. I had a pelvic exam and then she she gave me a transvaginal. She did the pelvic ultrasound first, then she told me to go and emptyy out my bladder to do the transvaginal
What are the importance of obstetrics to midwife?
ewan.. tanong ka sa mga mata2lino gaya ni erika viray manaig.. haha..
Its an ultrasonic system used during emergencies, whereih patients cannot be shifted from one place to other.
The amplitude is from a subsurface defect. the location on the time line is how deep in the material the defect is found and the amplitude height is the length of the defect indication
How many weeks in a forthnight?
There are zero weeks in a forthnight because forthnight is not a real word!

How do you determine the date of conception if you are 12 weeks and 2 days pregnant?
Remember the 1st day of your last period. It should be somewhere between 14 to 16 days from that date. http://www.intmed.mcw.edu/clincalc/pregnancy.html
Hello. At 15 weeks, structures in the heart are still difficult to visualise. It may be that the baby and organs are just too small for the technician to see clearly and a repeat scan in 2-3 weeks will give a clearer indication. It is true that if there were less then 4 heart chambers that there would be a major heart defect in the baby but there is still hope that all 4 chambers will be visualised later. Many heart defects are repairable with surgery, including major defects. Unfortunately not all pregnacies such as this end so well. I wish you all the best and my prayers are with you.
Do women ever get trans-rectal ultrasounds?
They used to get trans-vaginal ultrasounds. Never heard of trans-rectal ultrasound, but why not? Doctors are very inventive.
What does an ultrasound scanner consist of?
the transducer and the data processing unit. The transducer both produces the sound waves that penetrate the body and receives the reflected echoes. Transducers are built around piezoelectric ceramic chips.
Can you see a heart beat on your thoart if your pregnant?
no unless you are magic
i am pregnant so i know that that is a total joke are you a girl or a boy
358 days. or from Jan 1 to dec 24 (on leap years its dec 23)
That would my answer. September 18-20 would be a good estimate of conception according to the ultrasound.
What is a level 3 ultrasound and why are they needed after age 35?
A Level 3 Ultrasound uses a very expensive machine that is capable of picking up very slight changes and abnormalities in the fetus that cannot be detected on lesser machines. The reason they reccommend them for women after age 35 is that the risk of having a child with Down's Syndrome and/or other Chromosomal Abnormalities goes up with age. The risk of having a child with Dowm's Syndrome at age 20 is approx. 1/1667, the risk of any Chromosomal Abnormality is 1/526. At age 35 the risk of Down's Syndrome goes up to approx. 1/385, and the risk of any Chromosomal Abnormality is 1/192. If certain indicators are found on the ultasound then they would most likely suggest you have an amniocentesis to test the chromosomes of the fetus. Elevated Alpha-fetoprotein levels in the mothers blood can also be used to help detect certain problem in the fetus, this is usually done between 16 and 18 weeks, combined with HCG levels and serum Estriol levels. These three markers can be used to calculate your risk of having a fetus with abnormalities.
