Systematic review and meta-analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography for deep vein thrombosis [PDF]
, 2005 Background Ultrasound (US) has largely replaced contrast venography as the definitive diagnostic test for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). We aimed to derive a definitive estimate of the diagnostic accuracy of US for clinically suspected DVT and identify ...

Plethysmographic hyperinflation and well-controlled asthma: contribution and limitations of plethysmography [PDF]
Batna Journal of Medical SciencesObjective: Asthma control is usually assessed through clinical evaluation and spirometry, but these methods may overlook certain abnormalities, particularly air trapping. Plethysmography allows the detection of this pulmonary hyperinflation.
