Nephrolithiasis can be suspected based on the history and physical examination. However, lab works and diagnostic imaging are important to confirm and exclude the diagnosis of nephrolithiasis. Urinalysis is performed to examine the presence of blood, urine pH and crystals to identify the contents of the stone as well as infection. An elevated WBC count or presence of bacteria in the urine is a sign of infection. Identifying the stone composition will help to direct the medical therapy for the patient

1.3.10 Assessment of patients with suspected stable angina Chest pain is a very common symptom, and around 20% to 40% of the general population will experience chest pain in their lives(149). In the UK, up to 2 % of visits to a general practitioner are due to new onset chest pain (150). Approximately 5% of visits to the emergency department are due to a complaint of chest pain, and up to 40% of emergency hospital admissions are the result of chest pain(149, 151). Approximately 52,000 new cases of

Migratory Behavior and Prey Specificity of Killer Whales Abstract: Killer whales are cosmopolitan and considered to be a single species that is distributed across the entire ocean. Though it has long been generally known that there are residential killer whales which primarily feed on fish, transient killer whales which feed on mammals, and the lesser encountered offshore killer whales, they actually have further diverse characteristics and are labeled as “types.” Though there are features of appearances

defect of the cuff tendon. At the same time extend patients arm and internally and externally rotates to palpate rotator cuff tendons. The sensitivity and specificity of this palpating of the cuff tendon defect for the diagnosis of full-thickness rotator cuff tears were 96 and 97%, respectively, which were equivalent to the sensitivity and specificity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or ultrasonography

The Lachman Test is an important diagnostic test for detection of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) pathology (van Eck, 2013) and is frequently used by sports therapists. Joint arthrometry, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and diagnostic arthroscopy are all well-established methods to evaluate the knee for the presence of an ACL tear. However, the clinical gold standard, with well-established levels of accuracy for detecting this injury, is the Lachman test, which is performed with the patient in

higher per year.2, 3 Patients with BE are at a 30 to 125-fold increased risk of developing EAC compared to patients without BE. The incidence of EAC has been rapidly increasing in the United States and is expected to increase by 140% over the next ten years. 4-6 EAC carries a dismal five-year survival rate (~17%) due to late diagnosis. Screening for BE via endoscopy is not recommended for the general population but is recommended in high risk populations. However, there is no clear evidence that

Living in a “post-colonial” Martinique, still legally a department of the French Republic around forty-two hundred miles away, Édouard Glissant explores the Caribbean identity in the face of invisible modes of domination. While considering the history of Martinique, it is evident that the island is still a colony of France due to economic and cultural domination despite the supposed political equality as a department of France, especially given that this political equality has done little to alter

something. Throughout the three phases of this experiment, an individual is presented with a cued-recall test and a memory judgment test. The expected results of the experiment demonstrate the importance of retrieval cues, and incorporate encoding specificity, which can relate back to the instances of recovered memories and other memory tasks. It is found that individuals are more accurate in remembering they remembered something when the cue was the same rather than when it was different. They more
