The examination for the detection of congenital anomalies is referred to as either detailed ultrasound study or targeted imaging for fetal anomalies (TIFFA) 3, 4 In such examinations, a variety of fetal anatomic views (âtargetsâ') are specifically sought after and imaged by experienced ultrasonographers.
Turbidity is measured in NTU: Nephelometric Turbidity Units. The instrument used for measuring it is called nephelometer or turbidimeter, which measures the intensity of light scattered at 90 degrees as a beam of light passes through a water sample.
A comorbidity is a disease or condition that coexists with a primary disease but also stands on its own as a specific disease. The comorbidities may be physical or mental conditions. For example, someone can have hypertension (high blood pressure) and not have diabetes. But on the other hand, someone with diabetes very often has hypertension as well. So, hypertension is a common comorbidity of diabetes. Comorbidities are more common than not. About 80% of Medicare spending is for patients that have four or more chronic conditions at the same time.
