In patients who do manifest symptoms from PE, accurate diagnosis is essential. Often it is difficult to distinguish the vague symptoms of PE from other diagnoses, such as acute coronary syndrome,...
متن کاملThe Etiology of Acute Upper Respiratory Infection (common Cold)
Experimental upper respiratory infections similar to "common colds" were transmitted singly and in series through two and four passages in nine out of fifteen persons, by intransal inoculations with bacteria-free filtrates of nasopharyngeal washings obtained from individuals ill with natural "colds." These observations conform with those reported by previous workers and lend further support to ...

UNLABELLED Talus bipartitus is a rare skeletal variation. Several causative factors have been proposed, but none of them seem to be convincing. We hypothesize that talus bipartitus may result from ossification disruption in neonatal period caused possibly by an infection. The observations supporting this link are discussed. The hypothesis is supported by two cases with symptomatic talus biparti...
متن کاملUnsuspected Pulmonary Embolism in Observation Unit Patients
OBJECTIVE Many emergency department (ED) patients with cardiopulmonary symptoms such as chest pain or dyspnea are placed in observation units but do not undergo specific diagnostic testing for pulmonary embolism (PE). The role of observation units in the diagnosis of PE has not been studied. We hypothesized that there was a small but significant rate of unsuspected PE in our observation unit po...

lent than Parkinson’s disease in Arabic villagers in Israel (ET prevalence = 0.78% vs. PD prevalence = 1.44%) [12] ; however, those results are atypical. The incidence of ET has been examined in only 2 studies [13, 14] . The incidence rate reported for ET, based on a populationbased study (the NEDICES study) [13] , was substantially higher (6.3 per 1,000 person-years) than that reported in the ...
