Advancing technology has birthed pocket-sized #POCUS devices that increase accessibility & address limitations of conventional #ultrasound machines. But does improved portability & access compromise image quality? This study seeks answers: pocusjournal.com/article/202… #FOAMed #FOAMus

Let's evaluate the TA on the right (symptomatic side). Classically, GCA has a "halo" sign. That is a hypoechoic rim around the TA, indicating edema. Is it present?

#POCUS has the power to impact lives. GUSI’s Dr. Jay Reinking shares a heartwarming memory about a homeless man, a medical bus in Oakland, and the power of POCUS. Listen to this amazing story with a touching ending. #GUSIPOCUS #POCUSGameChanger

Great article! #PrimaryCare not only reduces illness, it promotes health, quality of life and prolongs duration of life …all while reducing costs…seems like a no brainer to me 🤔

Wasn't sure if to write this. It is blunt and will offend surely many but I have privilege and therefore, responsibility. It is also long and personal. I am writing for Germans, but in English. It will reach more people this way and my German is not good enough. /1
