The test involves collecting a stool sample, which is then cultured to identify pathogens. Sensitivity testing follows to determine effective antibiotics.

It can diagnose bacterial, parasitic, or fungal infections causing gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever.

Results are typically available within a few days, depending on the growth rate of pathogens and antibiotic sensitivity testing.

The test involves minimal risk, mainly related to sample collection. It’s essential to follow proper hygiene and sample collection procedures.

No, this test specifically detects bacteria, parasites, and fungi. Viral infections require different diagnostic tests.

Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that helps improve blood flow to the heart and relieve symptoms of angina and heart failure.

EECP therapy uses inflatable cuffs wrapped around the legs to compress and decompress the blood vessels, promoting increased blood flow to the heart during the relaxation phase of the heartbeat.

Patients with chronic stable angina, heart failure, or those who are not suitable candidates for invasive procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery may benefit from EECP therapy.

EECP therapy can help reduce angina symptoms, improve exercise tolerance, enhance the quality of life, and decrease the need for medication in some patients.

Each EECP session typically lasts about one hour and is usually conducted five days a week for a total of seven weeks.

Recovery time varies, but most patients stay in the hospital for a few days and gradually return to normal activities within weeks.
