When Cushing's syndrome is suspected, either a dexamethasone suppression test ( administration of dexamethasone and frequent determination of cortisol and ACTH level ), or a 24-hour urinary measurement for cortisol offer equal detection rates.

The gold standard in diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome is 24 hour urine protein measurement.

Classical error correcting codes use a syndrome measurement to diagnose which error corrupts an encoded state.

A syndrome measurement can determine whether a qubit has been corrupted, and if so, which one.

The reason is that the measurement of the syndrome has the projective effect of a quantum measurement.

The syndrome measurement tells us as much as possible about the error that has happened, but nothing at all about the value that is stored in the logical qubit — as otherwise the measurement would destroy any quantum superposition of this logical qubit with other qubits in the quantum computer.

The resulting investigative report to the Senate detailed at least three occasions on which U. S. military forces came into contact with chemical warfare agents that may have led to the development of Gulf War syndrome and that at least some of those biological agents ( weapons of mass destruction ) had been provided to Saddam Hussein by the US.

Subdural hemorrhage is a classic finding in shaken baby syndrome, in which similar shearing forces classically cause intra-and pre-retinal hemorrhages.

A classic example of such a disorder is ' O ' Sullivan syndrome ', in which the victim is overcome with a desire to fornicate with armed forces servicemen.

What is more, the outcome of this operation ( the syndrome ) tells us not only which physical qubit was affected, but also, in which of several possible ways it was affected.

If a bit flip error happens to a qubit, the syndrome analysis will be performed on each set of states ( 1, 2, 3 ), ( 4, 5, 6 ), and ( 7, 8, 9 ), then correct the error.

That these codes allow indeed for quantum computations of arbitrary length is the content of the threshold theorem, found by Michael Ben-Or and Dorit Aharonov, which asserts that you can correct for all errors if you concatenate quantum codes such as the CSS codes — i. e. re-encode each logical qubit by the same code again, and so on, on logarithmically many levels — provided the error rate of individual quantum gates is below a certain threshold ; as otherwise, the attempts to measure the syndrome and correct the errors would introduce more new errors than they correct for.

Is the Oedipus complex, the clinical syndrome, material for a tragedy??

Milk alkali syndrome declined in men after effective treatments were developed for peptic ulcer disease.

There is a risk of a benzodiazepine withdrawal and rebound syndrome after continuous usage for longer than two weeks, and tolerance and dependence may occur if patients stay under this treatment for longer.

Conversely, the withdrawal syndrome may also be a trigger for relapse.

Its main usefulness is the treatment of hyperkinetic movement disorders such as Huntington's disease and Tourette syndrome, rather than for conditions such as schizophrenia.

In the period of 3 – 6 weeks following cessation increased anxiety, depression as well as sleep disturbance is common ; fatigue and tension can persist for up to 5 weeks as part of the post-acute withdrawal syndrome ; about a quarter of alcoholics experience anxiety and depression for up to 2 years.

To test the developing fetus for Down syndrome, Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling can be used.

Benzodiazepines are the preferred choice in the management of alcohol withdrawal syndrome, in particular, for the prevention and treatment of the dangerous complication of seizures and in subduing severe delirium.

Symptoms may also occur during a gradual dosage reduction, but are typically less severe and may persist as part of a protracted withdrawal syndrome for months after cessation of benzodiazepines.

Approximately 10 % of patients will experience a notable protracted withdrawal syndrome, which can persist for many months or in some cases a year or longer.

This syndrome may be hard to recognize, as it starts several days after delivery, for example, as late as 21 day for chlordiazepoxide.

A number of instruments ( for example the craniometer ) and surgical techniques ( for example, the Kocher manoeuvre, and kocher incision ) are named after him, as well as the Kocher-Debre-Semelaigne syndrome.

It is reserved for people suffering from the most catastrophic epilepsies, such as those due to Rasmussen syndrome.

What can be even more confusing is that certain syndromes, such as West syndrome, featuring seizures such as infantile spasms, can be classified as idiopathic, syndromic, or cryptogenic depending on cause and can arise from both focal or generalized epileptic lesions.

Case series have demonstrated similar efficacies in certain generalized epilepsies, such as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

People who are abnormally unable to resist certain urges or impulses that could be harmful to themselves or others, may be classed as having an impulse control disorder, including various kinds of tic disorders such as Tourette's syndrome, and disorders such as kleptomania ( stealing ) or pyromania ( fire-setting ).

Combining MAO inhibitors with certain legal prescription and over the counter medications can also lead to ( potentially fatal ) serotonin syndrome.

Serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening drug reaction that may occur following therapeutic drug use, inadvertent interactions between drugs, overdose of particular drugs, or the recreational use of certain drugs.

They are also used in the treatment of a number of other medical disorders, including anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder ( GAD ), social phobia ( SP ) also known as social anxiety disorder ( SAD ), obsessive-compulsive disorder ( OCD ), and panic disorder ( PD ), post-traumatic stress disorder ( PTSD ), body dysmorphic disorder ( BDD ), eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, certain personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder ( BPD ), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ), as well as chronic pain, neuralgia or neuropathic pain, and fibromyalgia, headache, or migraine, smoking cessation, tourette syndrome, trichotillomania, irritable bowel syndrome ( IBS ), interstitial cystitis ( IC ), nocturnal enuresis ( NE ), narcolepsy, insomnia, pathological crying and / or laughing, chronic hiccups, ciguatera poisoning, and as an adjunct in schizophrenia.
