Does this patient have deep vein thrombosis?

OBJECTIVE To review the validity of the clinical assessment and diagnostic tests in patients with suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT). METHODS A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted by searching MEDLINE from 1966 to April 1997. RESULTS Individual symptoms and signs alone do not reliably predict which patients have DVT. Overall, the diagnostic properties of the clinical exam...

The Rational Clinical Examination Does This Patient Have Deep Vein Thrombosis?

Objective.—To review the validity of the clinical assessment and diagnostic tests in patients with suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Methods.—A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted by searching MEDLINE from 1966 to April 1997. Results.—Individual symptoms and signs alone do not reliably predict which patients have DVT. Overall, the diagnostic properties of the clinical exami...

Is this reaction caused by this drug?

The case report on cotrimoxazole-induced pancreatitis by Versleijen et al. deals with the assessment of the probability that cotrimoxazole induced the acute pancreatitis: a causality assessment. In this editorial, we comment on this assessment from a clinical, pharmacological and epidemiological perspective. Moreover, the consequences of the results of the assessment are discussed.

1. The network topology is characterized in the language of graph theory (e.g. tree, 0-chain, 1-chain) [1] [2]. By this means, the set of steady-state fluxes can be parameterized explicitly. 2. A particular steady-state solution is selected. This steady-state solution is used to generate a nominal, stationary routing algorithm for the stochastic flow problem. 3. However, to ensure the network o...
