Differentiating pulmonary diseases with inflammatory markers
In this video, we look at which markers to order when you’re not sure whether your patient’s pulmonary condition is inflammatory in nature, why radiographic changes for CHF and pneumonia are not enough to diagnose either, and why routine blood work will miss important diagnostic clues (and what to use instead).
Advanced imaging techniques in inflammatory bowel disease
In this video, we’ll look at how to use inflammatory markers to differentiate between inflammatory and non-inflammatory causes of IBD, why it’s crucial that you figure out the difference, and what to do when the diagnosis is unclear.
