متن کامل[Significance of the nasal provocation test in the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis].
Allergic rhinitis is a frequent immunological disease affecting about 10-25% of the total population. The pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis is presumed to involve an IgE-mediated mechanism. Careful patient history, together with the skin prick test or RAST, usually allows an easy diagnosis of allergic rhinitis. In other cases it may be necessary to confirm diagnosis by the nasal provocation tes...
متن کاملSignificance of cerebellar tonsillar position on MR.
It has been noted that a low degree of ectopia of the cerebellar tonsils on MR is of questionable significance. We measured the position of the cerebellar tonsils with respect to the inferior aspect of the foramen magnum in 200 normal patients and in 25 patients with a firm diagnosis of Chiari I malformation. In the normal group, the mean position of the tonsils was 1 mm above the foramen magnu...
