Demonstrating a normal serum osmolality in the presence of hyperlipidemia or hyperproteinemia; 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
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.
