Diagnostic aids

The development of computer capabiUties in hardware and software, related instmmentation and control, and telecommunication technology represent an opportunity for improvement in safety (see COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY). Plant operators can be provided with a variety of user-friendly diagnostic aids to assist in plant operations and incipient failure detection. Communications can be more rapid and dependable. The safety control systems can be made even more rehable and maintenance-free. Moreover, passive safety features to provide emergency cooling for both the reactor system and the containment building are being developed. [Pg.244]

TSH is approved for medical use as a diagnostic aid in the detection of thyroid cancer/thyroid remnants in post-thyroidectomy patients. Thyroid cancer is relatively rare, exhibiting the highest incidence in adults, particularly females. First-line treatment is surgical removal of all or most of the thyroid gland (thyroidectomy). This is followed by thyroid hormone suppression therapy, which entails administration of T3 or T4 at levels sufficient to maintain low seum TSH levels through the negative feedback mechanism mentioned earlier. TSH suppression is required... [Pg.346]

Measurements of norepinephrine, epinephrine, and their metabolites in the urine constitute valuable diagnostic aids, particularly in the detection of tumors that synthesize and secrete norepinephrine and epinephrine (e.g., pheochromocytoma). [Pg.92]

The major use of colchicine is as an antiinflammatory agent in the treatment of acute gouty arthritis it is not effective in reducing inflammation in other disorders. It also can be used to prevent attacks. Since colchicine is so rapidly effective in relieving the acute symptoms of gout (substantial improvement is achieved within hours), it has been used as a diagnostic aid in this disorder. [Pg.443]

Mechanism of Action A cardiac agent that slows impulse formation in the SA node and conduction time through the AV node. Adenosine also acts as a diagnostic aid in myocardial perfusion imaging or stress echocardiography. Therapeutic Effect Depresses left ventricular function and restores normal sinus rhythm. [Pg.21]

Diagnostic aid IV Based on weight 0.142 mg/kg/min infused over 4 min although a maximum hasn t been determined, doses greater than 60 mg have been determined to be unnecessary for any patient. [Pg.382]

Relief of dry and inflamed nasal membranes Intranasal Use as needed Diagnostic aid in ophthalmoscopic exam, treatment of corneal edema Ophthalmic solution Apply 1-2 drops q3-4h. Ophthalmic ointment Apply once a day or as directed. [Pg.1136]

Mechanism of Action A potassium-sparing diuretic that interferes with sodium reabsorption by competitively inhibiting the action of aldosterone in the distal tubule, thus promoting sodium and water excretion and increasing potassium retention. Therapeutic Effect Produces diuresis lowers BP diagnostic aid for primary aldosteronism. [Pg.1147]
