Subject: Otitis media with "scaral" effusion

This is a young child with otitis media and a previous history of ear tubes. He says what sounds like otitis media probably with "scaral or skaral" effusion.  Any ideas?

low-osmolar and isosmolar contrast media,
Subject: low-osmolar and isosmolar contrast media,

Cardiac catheterization is a relatively safe procedure but has a well-defined risk of morbidity and mortality. The potential risk of major complications during cardiac catheterization may be difficult to ascertain because of the confounding aspects of comorbid disease and disparities in methods used to collect complication data.


The use of low-osmolar and isosmolar contrast media, lower profile diagnostic catheters, reduced anticoagulation, and extensive operator experience all serve to reduce the incidence of complications further.
