Introduction Lymphadenopathy implies the existence of the disease in lymph nodes that is usually associated with lymph node enlargement. Enlargement of lymph nodes often occurs followed by the proliferation of resident normal cells or infiltration of outside normal or abnormal cells. Rarely‚ this enlargement can be caused by vascular changes (congestion‚ vascularization‚ and edema) (1‚ 2). Histopathology and cytology are used for the direct evaluation of origin and type of the lymph node cells. Cytology

hypertension and increased levels of cardiac biomarkers. Cardiac biomarkers include Creatinine Phosphokinases and Troponins. Cardiac Troponins (Troponin T ‚ Troponin I ) are preferred over creatinine phosphokinase( CPK-MB) because their higher sensitivity and specificity for myocardium[3]. Preferred marker for any myocardial injury in any patient are Cardiac Troponins T and I only including patients suffering from CKD‚ acute kidney injury. Patients who are having CKD and present with clinical signs and

education? Answer :by Maiyo Julius Peace Education Peace education is a unifying and comprehensive concept that seeks to promote a holistic view of education. However‚ its relevance is inextricably part of and is highly dependent on contextual specificity (Bloomfield‚ 1986). UNESCO (2001) states that Peace Education is more effective and meaningful when adopted according to the social and cultural context and the needs of a country. It should be enriched by its cultural and spiritual values together

In the article‚ Role of B-Color and Resolution Sonography Presets for the Diagnosis of Lower Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis‚ a study was conducted by ARDMS- certified sonographers who used an L9-3 linear probe on 284 patients (older than 18 years old) to test three modalities of sonographic imaging to determine if they would help spot an acute DVT during a lower extremity venous duplex. The three modalities used for this test was 2D imaging‚ resolution preset and B-color preset. Other variables/factors

Very little of the specific gene is needed to amplify the gene. The method is also very specific as it combines the specificity of the primers and the fluorescence of the Taqman® probe. Limitations: qPCR is an expensive method with high cost of equipment and cost of chemicals. The great sensitivity of this method makes is also its vulnerability‚ as the slightest error in the sample quality‚ RNA extraction or reverse transcriptation process can influence

DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN SCREENING TEST AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTS A diagnostic test is any kind of medical test performed to aid in the diagnosis of detection of a suspected disease or condition. This is different from a screening test which is used when not when a disease or condition is suspected‚ but when people are considered to be at high risk of developing a disease or condition. Diagnostic test are usually performed after a positive screening test to establish a definitive diagnosis. They are
