Jul 2018Echocardiography
Echocardiography (EK-o-kar-de-OG-rah-fee), or echo, is a painless test that uses sound waves to create moving pictures of your heart. The pictures show the size and shape of your heart. They also show how well your heart’s chambers and valves are working. Echo also can pinpoint areas of heart muscle that aren’t contracting well because of poor blood flow or injury from a previous heart attack. A…

Jul 2018Ablation
Cardiac ablation Cardiac ablation is a procedure that can correct heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias). Cardiac ablation works by scarring or destroying tissue in your heart that triggers or sustains an abnormal heart rhythm. In some cases, cardiac ablation prevents abnormal electrical signals from entering your heart and, thus, stops the arrhythmia. Cardiac ablation usually uses long, flexible tubes (catheters) inserted through a vein or artery in your…

Jun 2016Fractional laser treatment
Fractional laser treatment is a non-invasive treatment that uses a device to deliver a laser beam divided into thousands of microscopic treatment zones that target a fraction of the skin at a time. This is analogous to a photographic image being enhanced or altered pixel by pixel. Fractional laser treatment has bridged the gap between the ablative and non-ablative laser techniques used to treat sun-damaged…

Jun 2016Q-switching laser
Q-switching, sometimes known as giant pulse formation or Q-spoiling, is a technique by which a laser can be made to produce a pulsed output beam. The technique allows the production of light pulses with extremely high (gigawatt) peak power, much higher than would be produced by the same laser if it were operating in a continuous wave (constant output) mode. Compared to modelocking, another technique…

Jun 2016Hair removal by laser
Alexandrite laser (Alex) This device is one of the world’s most advanced laser devices for removing unwanted hair. One of the unique features of this device is its adjustable wavelength (Pulse Duration) and the amount of energy to eliminate all types of hair and skin. Alexandrite laser is a kind of solid laser with the wavelength of 755 nm and it is in the range…

Jun 2016Nephrology
Nephrology is a specialty of medicine and pediatrics that concerns itself with the study of normal kidney function, kidney problems, the treatment of kidney problems and renal replacement therapy (dialysis and kidney transplantation). Systemic conditions that affect the kidneys (such as diabetes and autoimmune disease) and systemic problems that occur as a result of kidney problems (such as renal osteodystrophy and hypertension) are also studied…

Jun 2016Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a procedure that uses shock waves to break up stones in the kidney, bladder, or ureter (tube that carries urine from your kidneys to your bladder). After the procedure, the tiny pieces of stones pass out of your body in your urine. ESWL is a non-invasive treatment of kidney stones (urinary calculous) and biliary calculi (stones in the gallbladder…

Jun 2016Transurethral ureterolithotripsy (TUL)
The middle and lower ureteral stones are broken through the conduit (TUL) in the operating room and it requires anesthesia. TUL is done in the operating room under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia (from the waist down), so patients should be fasting before surgery. In this procedure, there is no incision on the body and all acts done through the urinary tract. During TUL the…

Jun 2016Incubator
Infant Incubators Equipment A neonatal incubator is a rigid box-like enclosure in which an infant can be kept in a controlled environment for observation and care. The device may include a heater, a fan, a container for water to add humidity, a control valve through which oxygen may be added, and access ports for nursing care. There are some other machines that are used during…
