Objective:To study the diagnostic accuracy of Ultrasound B scan using 10 MHz linear probe in ocular trauma.Methods:A total of 61 patients with 63 ocular injuries were assessed during July 2013 to January 2014. All patients were referred to the department of Radiology from Emergency Room since adequate clinical assessment of the fundus was impossible because of the presence of opaque ocular media. Based on radiological diagnosis, the patients were provided treatment (surgical or medical). Clinical diagnosis was confirmed during surgical procedures or clinical follow-up.Results:A total of 63 ocular injuries were examined in 61 patients. The overall sensitivity was 91.5%, Specificity was 98.87%, Positive predictive value was 87.62 and Negative predictive value was 99%.Conclusion:Ultrasound B-scan is a sensitive, non invasive and rapid way of assessing intraocular damage caused by blunt or penetrating eye injuries.
The epidemic is a doorway. It has created a new portal that involves re-defining of living styles, working habits, health care, and socialization among people and nonhuman species. The World health organization has announced publically that novel coronavirus as a pandemic. The problem is to overcome the situation of this pandemic which involves the social distancing issues, by transforming the conventional medical health care systems to digital health care system. Post pandemic demands a fundamental change of healthcare systems that have the abilities to handle those issues. Meanwhile, as the pandemic becomes more severe, the most important objective is the paradigm shift in conventional health systems to combat the pandemic by purposing the taxonomy on the basis of digital technologies. Thus, an Artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of things (IoT) based digital healthcare system model is proposed. Moreover, a thorough investigation is conducted, ensuring in a timely guide to the possibilities of digital health transformation as a current and future response to pandemic issues.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
