Is DISH painful?

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH): is it of vascular aetiology?

OBJECTIVE Reassessment of the pathological features of spinal involvement in DISH and studying the possible aetiopathogenetic mechanism/s of DISH in view of clinical, radiological and pathological findings. METHODS Forty Egyptian patients with DISH were included in this study. They underwent clinical and radiological assessment. Routine lab tests were done in addition to measuring blood sugar...

How painful is juvenile chronic arthritis?

Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage and it is one of the major symptoms in arthritis. Pain is also the sensory modality that alerts patients so that it leads to protective responses. Pain also informs the patient that there is a potential noxious threat, which brings him or her to the doctor for diagnosis and treatment of his ...

Single Dish Polarization Calibration

Using the formalism of Hamaker et al. (1996), I derive a method for the polarization calibration of observations made with a single radio telescope. This method is particularly appropriate for observations of pulsars, where the sign and magnitude of the circular polarization are useful for understanding the emission processes at work. I apply the method to observations of PSR J1359–6038 made us...

Parabolic Dish Microphone

A parabolic dish microphone is like a mirror telescope for sound. A parabolic reflector is used to collect and focus sound waves to a microphone receiver [1, 2]. The parabolic shape has the property that all sound waves impinging parallel to the central axis of the dish are reflected to its focus point. When the dish is aimed at a distant sound source it is safe to assume that all the sound wav...
