What is a lesion on the hip bone? What is an EMG test in neurology? What are segmented neutrophils? What does proper in anatomy mean? What is CNS degenerative disease? What is hypoplasia of bone marrow? What is the suture between the parietal bones?
An electromyogram, or EMG, is a test of the communication between a nerve and the muscle it works with. This is done with electrodes on your skin or a needle put into a muscle. A series of tests called evoked potentials to measure your brain's response to stimulation of your hearing, ...

New Test Diagnoses ALS Faster than Ever; Not an EMG ALS ANXIETY New Test Diagnoses ALS Faster than Ever; Not an EMG Diagnosing ALS can take a long time, with misdiagnoses occurring too often. The diagnosis of ALS “relies heavily on the physician’s clinical acuity,” says Professor Philip...
Clinical neurotoxicology is a relatively new, but under-resourced, subspeciality of clinical neurology and the appropriate examination and investigation of patients can be time consuming and frustrating. It also requires a good working relationship between neurologists, clinical neurophysiologists, occupationa...
Visual inspection of CSF for xanthochromia is still frequently used for diagnosis of SAH, but it is advised against because spectrophotometry has a superior diagnostic accuracy. A positive finding of CSF bilirubin is a strong indicator of an intracranial bleeding, whereas a positive finding of CSF...
