Research finds that stay-at-home dads participate equally in household chores as stay-at-home moms, yet work mothers often resume their traditional roles when returning home. The study also highlights the impact of stay-at-home dad arrangements on mother-child bonds.
A team of researchers from Bowman Gray School of Medicine used sonography to analyze the anatomy of healthy subjects and define normal spinal and paraspinal structures. The study aims to improve the interpretation of sonographic images in patients with back pain.
A new study reveals that transcranial sonography is more sensitive than MRI and CT in detecting residual tumors and predicting patient survival after brain tumor surgery. This non-invasive imaging technique offers advantages, including lower cost, portability, and ease of use, making it a valuable tool for follow-up care.
Research reveals that insulin resistance is a significant risk factor for atherosclerosis in white and Hispanic populations, affecting up to 90% of diabetics and 10-20% of non-diabetics. In contrast, African Americans are not found to have the same association, despite being four times more likely to suffer from strokes.
Researchers found ultrasound can accurately diagnose disc bulges and herniations, as well as detect soft tissue abnormalities. This non-invasive technique may help document clinical problems and reduce healthcare costs compared to MRI.
Researchers found that low-frequency ultrasound enhances the effectiveness of thrombolytic drugs in dissolving blood clots deep within the brain. This combination therapy may reduce the duration and doses of medication needed, minimizing risks of bleeding and other complications associated with stroke treatment.
