  2. Magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    Provides measurements of blood flow; In cerebral infarction, the infarcted core and the penumbra have decreased perfusion and delayed contrast arrival (pictured). [87] Arterial spin labelling: ASL: Magnetic labeling of arterial blood below the imaging slab, which subsequently enters the region of interest. [88] It does not need gadolinium ...

  3. Arterial spin labelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_spin_labelling

    Arterial spin labeling (ASL), also known as arterial spin tagging, is a magnetic resonance imaging technique used to quantify cerebral blood perfusion by labelling blood water as it flows throughout the brain. ASL specifically refers to magnetic labeling of arterial blood below or in the imaging slab, without the need of gadolinium contrast. [1]

  4. Japanese Sign Language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Sign_Language

    There are 304,000 Deaf and Hard of Hearing people who are above age 18 in Japan (2008). However, there is no specific source about the number of JSL users because of the difficulty in distinguishing who are JSL users and who use other kinds of sign, like Signed Japanese (対応手話, taiō-shuwa) and Pidgin Signed Japanese (中間手話, chūkan-shuwa).

  5. Screening (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screening_(medicine)

    The best studies for assessing whether a screening test will increase a population's health are rigorous randomized controlled trials.When studying a screening program using case-control or, more usually, cohort studies, various factors can cause the screening test to appear more successful than it really is. A number of different biases ...

  6. Blood compatibility testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_compatibility_testing

    Blood compatibility testing is routinely performed before a blood transfusion.The full compatibility testing process involves ABO and RhD (Rh factor) typing; screening for antibodies against other blood group systems; and crossmatching, which involves testing the recipient's blood plasma against the donor's red blood cells as a final check for incompatibility.

  7. 1 in 3 older Americans take aspirin daily. What does it do?

    Here's where aspirin can come into play: it thins blood, which makes clots less likely. "Aspirin can reduce heart attacks and strokes, and to some degree other clots like those in the deep veins ...

  8. Presumptive and confirmatory tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presumptive_and...

    For example, the Kastle–Meyer test will show either that a sample is not blood or that the sample is probably blood, but may be a less common substance. Further chemical tests are needed to prove that the substance is blood. Confirmatory tests are the tests required to confirm the analysis. Confirmatory tests cost more than simpler ...

  9. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

    Acid–base and blood gases are among the few blood constituents that exhibit substantial difference between arterial and venous values. [6] Still, pH, bicarbonate and base excess show a high level of inter-method reliability between arterial and venous tests, so arterial and venous values are roughly equivalent for these. [44]
