Normally they are plain films. However, sometimes they are actually talking about the plane or surface orientation of the exam so you have to be careful.

Lysozyme, an hydrolytic enzyme - a bacteriolytic glycosidase, when present in large amounts may appear as a far cathodal migrating ("cationic") band on serum or urine protein electrophoresis. Lysozyme has been found in all three human neutrophil granules (azurophil, specific, and gelatinase types).3 It is elevated in some cases of myelogenous, and most cases of myelomonocytic and monocytic leukemia. The elevation is proportional to the degree of monocytic differentiation and to tumor cell burden and if marked, can result in potassium wasting and hypokalemia.4 Lysozyme has been found within the granules of normal and leukemic eosinophils by immunoelectron microscopic study. Elevated serum lysozyme may not establish presence of monocytic differentiation in cases of acute myelogenous leukemia with eosinophilia. 5 The level of serum lysozyme has been used as a predictor of CNS involvement in these leukemias.6 Serum lysozyme has been shown to be elevated in a number of conditions, including tuberculosis and sarcoidosis as well as leukemia.1 Sensitivity for prediction of sarcoidosis was 79% in a recent study (c.f. that of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) at 59% in the same study). 1 The serum lysozyme level increased with the number of organs involved. Serum lysozyme, however, is less specific for sarcoidosis than serum ACE. Utilizing a turbidimetric method for measurement of serum lysozyme activity, there was evidence that such an assay was useful in differentiating infection from rejection in transplant recipients. 7

type "rheumatoid arthritis" or arthritis in the search box and it will pull up the tests they use for these diseases. Great tool. You can then click on the tests and it will give you alternate names etc. Good luck. E mail me if you need any more refs and I will try to give you a good list etc.

Just started OB/GYN myself. If you don't have this:
Get the book "Stedman's OB/GYN Words." I got mine at Barnes & Noble "used and out of print" for $9.00 and it's the newest one out. Perfect condition when I got it. It's getting a bit "dogeared" already. I use it constantly when doing OB/GYN, as I've never done it before.

I thought it was so funny and so FITTING. it put an end to the thread and made every one laugh...good ending to something that was getting ugly and sort of put the QA back a step or two, as well!

Subject: So how does a hair tourniquet get started?
You can kind of see how a hair would be so fine, and babies have that sweet baby plumpness so that it would be hard to see the hair until the baby had redness and irritation, but does the hair just sort of get worked into the area from a sock or something that was in the dryer and had a hair already on it? Who knew there were so many things to worry about??
