![]() In a comparison of four common handheld ultrasound devices in the United States, no single handheld ultrasound device was perceived to have all desired characteristics. The top 5 characteristics of handheld ultrasound devices rated as being "very important" were image quality, ease of use, portability, total costs, and availability of different probes. The Lumify™ device was rated highest for overall satisfaction, while the Vscan Air™ was rated as the most likely to be purchased personally and carried in one's coat pocket. For overall image quality, Lumify™ was rated highest, followed by Kosmos™. For overall ease of use, the Vscan Air™ was rated highest, followed by the Lumify™. No single ultrasound device was superior in all categories. Twenty-four POCUS experts utilized four handheld devices (Butterfly iQ+™ by Butterfly Network Inc., Kosmos™ by EchoNous, Vscan Air™ by General Electric, and Lumify™ by Philips Healthcare) to obtain three ultrasound views on the same standardized patients using high- and low-frequency probes.ĭata were collected from 24 POCUS experts using all 4 handheld devices. We conducted a prospective observational study comparing four common handheld ultrasound devices for ease of use, image quality, and overall satisfaction. Few studies have directly compared different handheld ultrasound devices among themselves or to cart-based ultrasound machines. The recent growth of handheld ultrasound devices has improved access to ultrasound for many clinicians. This is due to several factors including its portability, immediacy of results to guide clinical decision-making, and lack of radiation exposure to patients. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is rapidly becoming ubiquitous across healthcare specialties. 23 Research and Development Service, South Texas Veterans Health Care System, San Antonio, TX, USA.22 Division of Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.21 Division of Hospital Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY, USA.20 Department of Pulmonology and Critical Care Medicine, San Antonio Military Medical Center, JBSA Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, TX, USA.19 Division of Critical Care and Cardiology, Texas Children's Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA.18 Division of Hospital Medicine, Alameda Health System-Highland Hospital, Oakland, CA, USA.17 Division of Hospital Medicine, University of California Davis, Sacramento, CA, USA.16 Section of Pulmonary Medicine, South Texas Veterans Health Care System, San Antonio, TX, USA.and Terry Lozano Long School of Medicine, University of Texas Health San Antonio, San Antonio, TX, USA. ![]() 15 Division of Pulmonary Diseases & Critical Care Medicine, Joe R. ![]()

Douglass also actively supported women's suffrage, and he held several public offices. First published in 1881 and revised in 1892, three years before his death, the book covers his life up to those dates. Following the Civil War, Douglass was an active campaigner for the rights of freed slaves and wrote his last autobiography, Life and Times of Frederick Douglass. ĭouglass wrote three autobiographies, describing his experiences as an enslaved person in his Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave (1845), which became a bestseller and was influential in promoting the cause of abolition, as was his second book, My Bondage and My Freedom (1855). It was in response to this disbelief that Douglass wrote his first autobiography. Northerners at the time found it hard to believe that such a great orator had once been enslaved. ![]() Accordingly, he was described by abolitionists in his time as a living counterexample to enslavers' arguments that enslaved people lacked the intellectual capacity to function as independent American citizens. ![]() After escaping from slavery in Maryland, he became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, during which he gained fame for his oratory and incisive antislavery writings.

Old-school budgeting: 'My grandmother used to do that!'Īfter Taylor's early videos went viral, she wanted to capitalize on the large audience she had built. This year, it's on track to clear $1 million. In 2022, the business pulled in about $850,000. Once she established a big following (she currently has 628,000 followers in TikTok), she turned cash stuffing into a business - Baddies and Budgets - through which she sells money courses, budgeting supplies and other accessories. In the first year of getting her money in order, Taylor was able to pay off $23,000 in student loan debt and wipe out her medical debt and credit card balance. Posts of her managing her finances by stuffing cash into envelopes soon went viral. She decided to hold herself accountable by posting on TikTok, which at the time was "mostly kids dancing," Taylor remembers. "I found cash budgeting and I literally stuck to it," Taylor says. So, like just about everyone else looking to finally figure something out, she went to YouTube, where she discovered "cash stuffing," a money management strategy that changed her life. She held about $60,000 in student debt and another $9,000 in medical and credit card debt.

He was born a slave, and as a child he traveled with a troupe of actors all around the different Free Cities until a sorcerer in the city of Myr made an offer Varys's master couldn't refuse. Varys was born across the Narrow Sea in Lys. Fulfilling her promise to execute those who conspired against her, Daenerys executed Varys upon learning of his treachery. ![]() However, later he became concerned that she had inherited her father's insanity believing that Jon Snow would be the superior leader, Varys plotted to undermine Daenerys's claim. Despite the loss of the two allies he had recruited during the Last War, he continued to serve Daenerys as her Master of Whisperers during the Great War and her final campaign for the Iron Throne. He later joined the Targaryen forces on Daenerys's birthplace, Dragonstone. Shortly before the second siege of Meereen, Varys returned to Westeros, rallying House Tyrell of the Reach and the Sand Snakes of Dorne for Daenerys's cause against House Lannister. He and Tyrion travelled to Meereen, and despite being separated in Volantis, the two eventually joined Daenerys's Small Council, ruling in her name following her disappearance. He was a skilled manipulator and commanded a network of informants across two continents.Īlthough he feigned support for her assassination while serving under King Robert Baratheon, Varys's true loyalties were eventually revealed to be to Daenerys Targaryen (though she herself is initially unaware of this), as he believed her rule would be the best way to preserve peace and prosperity in the Seven Kingdoms. Varys, popularly known as the Spider, was the eunuch Master of Whisperers on the Baratheon Small Council until he was forced to flee King's Landing with Tyrion Lannister.
