"The ultrasound technique has great benefits in the diagnosis of many diseases and abdominal pain is of great use, because of clinical pictures similar to allow discrimination between different possible diseases," said Dr. Manuel Devesa , speaker at the table Inquiries digestive symptoms in adult and pediatric patients, which opened yesterday afternoon at the XII International Congress of Clinical Ultrasound of the English Society of General Practitioners and Family (SEMG).
For Dr. Devesa, "the similar clinical pictures of many abdominal difficult ultrasound diagnosis and stands as an extremely important tool in this type of symptoms, because it allows the general and family medical diagnosis from common diseases such as cholelithiasis (very common in middle-aged), to boxes and even appendicitis or diverticulosis currently undiagnosed diseases such as aortic aneurysm. " "And is that ultrasound," said Dr. Francis Carmona, president of the Congress Organizing Committee, "after a thorough history, is for us a crucial tool for confirming the suspicion clinic. "
The aorta is the main artery of the body. It stretches from the heart through the chest to get to the abdomen, where it bifurcates into the two iliac arteries, which are directed to the lower limbs. "The abdominal aortic aneurysm is a localized dilation in that area, usually near the iliac bifurcation," said Dr. Devesa, who explains that "it is often the patient does not feel any discomfort, even when the expansion is expands to a certain point may appear sudden abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal wall rigidity and even a visually perceptible mass. "
symptomatology, common to other abdominal conditions, as noted by Dr. Devesa, "does not clarify the patient's illness, but thanks to ultrasound can locate and identify its existence." This is something crucial in view of the threat of imminent rupture and the resulting situation that causes massive internal bleeding immediately life threatening, "said Dr. Devesa. "Hence the importance of detecting this disease in time."
The same goes for many others, because, as explained by Dr. Carmona, the ultrasound in the general practitioners and family can act quickly to address the consequences of the disease: "It helps us in interpreting and easier to refine the diagnosis, avoid other examinations and laboratory tests even more aggressive and unnecessary referrals to specialists, if this were necessary after ultrasound examination of the information submitted is much more complete and guidance, which favors the specialist decision-maker less time and with better knowledge of the clinical situation: what matters ultimately is that we gain flexibility and reduce time to resolution of their problem to the patient, and the logical step is alleviated anxiety and uncertainty that any delay will occur. "
-An indispensable tool in the Primary Health Care training required
"For the first time at a scientific meeting of the Section of Ultrasound Ultrasound scans will be addressed in primary care from the perspective of professional practice in the office everyday," said Dr. Javier Amorós, head of the Ultrasound Section of the SEMG. Therefore, this twelfth edition was celebrated under the theme Ultrasound in the daily.
this year's edition of the International Congress is aimed at addressing various diseases that the doctor's area of \u200b\u200bprimary care are common and likely to be studied by ultrasound, such as digestive, urological, musculoskeletal and located in the neck or breast.
For the table on breast ultrasound, Dr. Amorós specifies that "will address the technical exploration through radial duct in men and women by attending a localized symptoms in the breast region, including the study detected mass, or simply want a preventive examination. " Concentrating
one more year in the diagnostic possibilities that allows the general practitioner and family have a scanner in their daily work, the Congress, which ends tomorrow, has a thirty papers and dozens of Free Papers presented by Congress.
This scientific meeting each year is the best example of the activity that has developed over the past two decades, Section of Ultrasound of the SEMG, backed by more than 250 hours of annual training activities, 50 intensive training in basic abdominal ultrasound and so far, 11 international conferences.
