Data Trace Editor Incidence and treatment of postoperative stiffness following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Does slower rehabilitation after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair lead to long-term stiffness? Subacromial pressures vary with simulated sleep positions. Shoulder kinematics during the wall push-up plus exercise.
a) Demonstrating a normal serum osmolality in the presence of hyperlipidemia or hyperproteinemia; b) Demonstrating a significant ( >10 mmol/kg) osmolar gap, indicating the presence of additional osmotically active solutes, which can falsely lower the serum sodium level; This is done by having the lab measure serum osmolality
