Subject: Reading the article below it seems to dB
The relationships among visual acuity (log MAR), diagnostic category, age, the magnitude of a relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) in log units, photopic foveal thresholds to white and colored light (dB), and the mean deviation on the Humphrey visual field (dB) were studied in patients with various optic neuropathies. All acuity and dB values were expressed as interocular differences, the majority of cases having normal acuity in the fellow eye. In multiple regression analyses, acuity and RAPD were alternately chosen as the dependent or response variable with all remaining variables serving as the predictors or independent variables. The main finding was that the only significant predictor of a RAPD was the interocular mean deviation difference on the Humphrey field and the only significant predictor of acuity was the foveal threshold to white light. Redundant and insignificant variables were therefore identified with multiple regression analysis. Subsidiary findings include: (a) although diagnostic group was not a significant predictor in the above, simple linear regression line slopes relating RAPD magnitude to the Humphrey mean deviation were significantly different between optic neuritis and compression categories; (b) for a given level of acuity, foveal thresholds were substantially worse in these cases with neuronal damage than in strabismic amblyopia, refractive error, or corneal damage; and (c) sensitivity losses for red vs. blue light were similar...

trademark or register information from the manufacturer does not make it Nitropaste but rather nitro (glycerin) paste. Just my opinion. There ARE registered names for nitro paste but this I believe is doc slang for generic nitroglycerin paste.

"To obtain valid ovarian age measures, we required: no pituitary disorder or hormonal disorder related to ovarian function, no oophorectomy, no hormonal medication, no pregnancy at the time of ultrasound, breastfeeding no more than once per day during the menstrual cycle preceding the study assessments. We required that any diagnosis be current, the report of the diagnostic work-up informative and the clinical symptoms and treatment consistent with the diagnosis."

here is more info on the patient.
She has marked soft tissue loss anteriorly as she always has had and I can easily see, if not palpate, the humeral head beneath her skin, though fortunately it remains virtually non-painful. She has anterior instability and I suggest that she likely is subluxing or even dislocating this humeral head because of her complete absence of soft tissue.

the patient wrote him/herself. When they can't tell what it is, they often spell it the way the patient did.

I never trust a doc's spelling of ANYTHING!!
