Ultrasound is a useful way of examining many of the body's internal organs, including but not limited to the:

heart and blood vessels, including the abdominal aorta and its major branches

liver

gallbladder

spleen

pancreas

kidneys

bladder

uterus, ovaries, and unborn child (fetus) in pregnant patients

eyes

thyroid and parathyroid glands

sc***um (testicles)

brain in infants

hips in infants

spine in infants

Ultrasound is also used to:

guide procedures such as needle biopsies, in which needles are used to sample cells from an abnormal area for laboratory testing.

image the breasts and guide biopsy of breast cancer (see the Ultrasound-Guided Breast Biopsy page.

diagnose a variety of heart conditions, including valve problems and congestive heart failure, and to assess damage after a heart attack. Ultrasound of the heart is commonly called an "echocardiogram" or "echo" for short.

Doppler ultrasound images can help the physician to see and evaluate:

blockages to blood flow (such as clots)

narrowing of vessels

tumors and congenital vascular malformations

reduced or absent blood flow to various organs, such as the te**es or o***y

increased blood flow, which may be a sign of infection.......

CPR >1

Ensure that the scene is safe. Check for unresponsiveness. Gently tap child’s shoulder. Ask, “Are you okay?”
Simultaneously assess the child's breathing and pulse.
Check for breathing. Is the breathing normal, no breathing, or abnormal (only agonal gasps)?
Assess the carotid pulse and look for other signs of circulation (no more than 10 sec). If signs of circulation are present but the child is still not breathing, give rescue breaths at the rate of 12-20 breaths/min (1 breath every 3-5 sec).
If there is no response with no breathing or abnormal breathing (only agonal gasps), send a second rescuer, if available, for help and to get an AED, if available.
If you are alone, begin the steps for CPR.
Position the child supine on a hard, flat surface.
If a pulse and signs of circulation are not present, begin chest compressions.
One hand: Place the heel of one hand on the center of the chest over the lower half of the sternum.
Two hands: Place the heel of one hand on the center of the chest over the lower half of the sternum; place the heel of your other hand over the first.
Firmly compress the chest at least one third the depth of the chest (at least 2.0 in [5 cm]). Push hard and fast. Give 30 compressions. Compress at a rate of 100-120/min. Ensure complete chest recoil after each compression. Avoid leaning on the chest between compressions.
If the child is not breathing, begin rescue breaths. Open the airway by the head tilt-chin lift method or, if spinal injury is suspected, use the jaw thrust method, if possible.
Using a face mask or barrier device, give 2 breaths (1 sec each) with sufficient volume to cause the chest to rise. Do not overventilate. Note: If the chest does not rise, reposition the head, chin, and jaw, and give 2 more breaths. If the chest still does not rise, follow instructions for unconscious child with an obstructed airway.
Continue cycles of 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths. After the fifth cycle of 30:2 (2 min), if you are still alone and no signs of circulation are present, summon help, call a code, or phone 911 and get an AED, if available.
If circulation is still not present, continue CPR, starting with chest compressions until an AED is available. If an AED is unavailable, continue to give 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths.
If circulation resumes but breathing does not resume or is inadequate, continue rescue breathing at 12-20 breaths/min.
If adequate breathing and circulation resume, place the child in the recovery position and monitor until help arrives.
heart.jpgClinical Tip: If you are alone and know a child or infant has had a sudden collapse because of heart failure, request immediate help including an AED. Do not delay defibrillation.

heart.jpgClinical Tip: When two rescuers are available, give cycles of 15 compressions and 2 breaths for child CPR.

Bruxism is the medical term for the grinding of teeth or the clenching of jaws. Many kids have it (2 to 3 out of every 10 will grind or clench, experts say), but most outgrow it. Bruxism often happens during deep sleep phases or when kids are under stress.
Cause.
In some cases, kids may grind because the top and bottom teeth aren't aligned properly.
Others do it as a response to pain, such as from an earache or teething. Kids might grind their teeth as a way to ease the pain, just as they might rub a sore muscle. Many kids outgrow these fairly common causes for grinding.
Studies suggest that an imbalance in dopamine-mediated neural transmission may exist in some types of bruxism. For example, while short-term use of dopamine precursors such as L-dopa inhibits bruxism, long-term use of the L-dopa increases bruxism. Bromocriptine, a preferential dopamine D2 receptor agonist reduces bruxism episodes. Amphetamine and similar street drugs increase dopamine concentration and their use has been associated with bruxism. In at least one report smokers reported bruxism twice as frequently as nonsmokers, and ni****ne is known to stimulate central dopaminergic activity. The SSRIs have an indirect effect on the dopaminergic system and are known to cause an increase in bruxism.
Effects.
Many cases of bruxism go undetected with no ill effects, while others cause headaches or earaches. Usually, though, it's more bothersome to other family members because of the grinding sound.
