Primary Healthcare Services

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...

Area of Science:

Oncology
Public Health
Radiology

Background:

Breast cancer disproportionately affects women of lower socioeconomic status and Black and Hispanic ethnicities.
These populations experience more advanced cancer diagnoses due to decreased screening mammography utilization.
Healthcare disparities in breast cancer outcomes persist.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the history and benefits of mobile mammography services.
To highlight the role of mobile mammography in addressing healthcare disparities.
To emphasize the importance of mobile mammography in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Main Methods:

Literature review of mobile mammography services.
Analysis of screening mammography utilization trends.
Discussion of healthcare access barriers for underserved populations.

Main Results:

Mobile mammography units offer convenient screening, enabling earlier breast cancer detection.
These services are crucial for reaching underserved populations with reduced access.
Mobile mammography can help mitigate the impact of disrupted screenings due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conclusions:

Mobile mammography is a vital tool for improving breast cancer screening equity.
Expanding mobile mammography services can significantly reduce disparities in breast cancer outcomes.
Accessible screening is essential for early detection and better patient prognoses.
