Neurosweet Disease
Sweet's disease is an inflammatory dermatological condition characterized by malaise, fever, leukocytosis, and raised erythematous plaques. It is also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis. Painful, dull-red plaques are characteristic. Skin biopsies reveal deep dermal infiltration of mature neutrophils, spared epidermis, and absence of vasculitis. Sweet's disease may involve the nervous system in multiple ways, and these manifestations have been labeled Neuro-Sweet disease. Common...
Development Of A Diagnostic Measurement Instrument
Eddy and Clanton 26 have identified six steps expert clinicians take in making a diagnosis 1 aggregation of groups of findings into patterns, 2 selection of a pivot or key finding, 3 generation of a potential cause list, 4 pruning of the cause list, 5 selection of a diagnosis, and 6 validation of the diagnosis. The process of aggregation may allow a number of smaller individual findings to be subsumed under one construct. For example, in carpal tunnel syndrome the symptoms of numbness in the...
