A common reference range for the absolute neutrophil count (ANC), which is calculated based on the percentage of neutrophils in the white blood cell count (see the Absolute Neutrophil Count calculator) is 2500-8000/µL. The formula for calculating ANC is ANC = WBC (cells/μL) × [percent...

The prospect of identifying CF carriers through population screening offers potential public health benefits, but also poses genetic counseling challenges because of uncertain risk of classic, nonclassic, and CAVD phenotypes in the absence of a previously affected relative with the same genotype.

Several clinical scoring sys- tems have been proposed, but all of these are more useful for ex- cluding necrotizing soft tissue infections than identifying them. A high index of suspicion remains paramount [111]. A definitive bacteriologic diagnosis is best established by c...
Joint pain is associated with a variety of disorders, so identifying the underlying cause can be hard. First off, there’s the pain itself and there’s the underlying condition. The underlying condition causing the joint pain which can either be acute or chronic. In acute conditions, like a...
Digital phenotyping is making its way into the field of neurology, with the goal of identifying previously undiscovered patterns, predicting functional outcomes, and simplifying neurological treatment planning [57, 58]. They enable continuous, longitudinal health monitoring outside of the traditional clinic...
Additionally, the PO administered dose is absorbed into the intestinal epithelial cells without appreciated variations of drug concentration during concomitant food administration. From a theoretical point of view, in case the GI tract of the patient is intact, and the bioavailability of an oral ...
Pulmonary emboli usually arise from thrombi that originate in the deep venous system of the lower extremities; however, they rarely also originate in the pelvic, renal, upper extremity veins, or the right heart chambers (see the image below). After trave
