Testing for Patients With CAP All patients with suspected CAP should have chest imaging. Chest x-ray is often the initial type of imaging, and if it does not reveal CAP, chest computed tomography (CT) should be considered. All patients with CAP should be tested for influenza and COVID-19...
CT scans can exclude or confirm the presence of a brain tumour. How- ever, more detailed information about the tumour itself and its effects is only possible using MRI with a tailored imaging protocol. Brain tumour protocol includes a com- bination of MR techniques that lead to a precise ...

The value of such a capacitor, essentially it’s “spring constant” for the mechanically–minded, is approximated by the formula in Figure 1 when the separation distance between the plates is small relative to their area. It should be noted however, that mechanical spring constants and capacitor...

People with IBD should be especially wary of these types of enemas. There is the potential to introduce harmful materials into the body using a nonmedical enema.In addition, the colon contains various forms of beneficial bacteria, and using an enema may disrupt the bacterial flora and harm the...
If symptoms do not improve after 6 weeks of conservative therapy, surgery may be considered a last resort. Surgery is done arthroscopically, with tools entered through small incisions. During the procedure, parts of the injured kneecap cartilage may be removed and the patella is repositioned if...
Clinical coding is the task of transforming medical information in a patient’s health records into structured codes so that they can be used for statistical analysis. This is a cognitive and time-consuming task that follows a standard process in order to achieve a high level of consistency. Cl...
The physical exam can reveal a lot about the underlying cause. For instance, when the swelling is within the knee joint, the kneecap will usually be well-defined and easily felt under the skin (although it may seem pushed out). When the swelling is in the overlying soft tissues, the kne...
