Primary care physicians frequently perform lumbar puncture, because cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is an invaluable diagnostic window to the central nervous system (CNS). Commonly performed tests on CSF include protein and glucose levels, cell counts and differential, microscopic examination, and culture. Additional tests such as opening pressure, 'SUPERNATANT COLOR', latex agglutination, and polymerase chain reaction also may be performed. Knowing which tests to order and how to interpret them allows physicians to use CSF as a key diagnostic tool in a variety of diseases.

Defense Builder Herbal Formula is one of the most popular and effective herbal formulas available. It is the basis for many of the immune products found in natural food stores today. Astra 8 is the only one, however, recommended by name in books, on video, and in periodicals. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these herbs are especially used for people who worry, think too much, eat sweets and feel cold and tired. In TCM terms, these herbs tonify Lung, Spleen and Kidney Qi and strengthen Wei Qi. Western medicine considers many of these herbs adaptogenic in that they help body adapt to stress. Astragalus, ligustrum, ginseng, and ganoderma (Reishi) found in Astra 8 are carefully balanced by additional herbs necessary to help you digest and assimilate these proven tonic herbs. For additional defensive system toning and energy enhancement, use with Power Mushrooms.

Ingredients: Astragalus, Ligustrum, Reishi (Ganoderma), Siberian (Eleuthero) Ginseng, Codonopsis, Schizandra, Oryza.

For constipation, patient is being prescribed *Senna-lax-S*. My Quick Look Drug Book does not have it at all. Google does have it all over. My Stedman's spellchecker marks it wrong though and wants to change it to Cenalax. Cenalax does not come up on Google anywhere and asks if I meant 'sennalax' instead. OY! Anyone know which is correct? Is my Stedman's spellchecker wrong-o?

This sounds new - sounds like a "Bengal" cage. It's not in my Stedman's Surgical Words, Third Edition, not in my Stedman's on line. I tried Googling it, which usually works, could not find anything. Does anyone know the proper spelling for this? - Thanks!
