An Audit of CT Chest Reports and Their Potential Impact on the Workup of Patients with Suspected Lung Cancer.

Background: Quality gaps exist in the diagnostic evaluation of lung cancer patients. The initial CT chest guides the workup of patients with suspected lung cancer. We sought to determine how frequently CT reports provided guideline-concordant recommendations with regard to additional imaging studies and/or invasive diagnostic procedures.

Effects of elevated temperature on osmoregulation and stress responses in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts in fresh water and seawater.

Smolting in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar is a critical life-history stage that is preparatory for downstream migration and entry to seawater that is regulated by abiotic variables including photoperiod and temperature. The present study was undertaken to determine the interaction of temperature and salinity on salinity tolerance, gill osmoregulatory proteins and cellular and endocrine stress in S. salar smolts.
