CLOTTING TIME FOR LUNG CANCER. . . .

Bit unrealistic,bit confusing but still an amazing test -LOGICAL . .
 got this idea while reading ROBBINS textbook of pathology,where it has been mentioned that there is subclinical activation of blood coagulation in lung ca pt. . yup!!Than it was my area 48 which linked this statement of robbins to the test for clotting which i had read in my first mbbs. . .hence if everything that has been linked forms an working circuit,than it can be termed that, prolonged clotting time=severe lung cancer. . . .but than when i did some googly research{yaa i know its google!!} about this got many intresting facts, which i would like to share . . .

And yaa i agree that using this idea for Dx of lung cancer is quiet impossible,but can be used to check the prognosis of the pt on treatment. . .

THE THREE- GLASS TEST...

In male,the microscopic examination of the urine for pus cells,can be made more diagnostic by collecting the specimen in three glasses or containers.The stream is started in the first container, then moved to the second container, and then completed in the third container, all without stopping the STREAM.
IN URETHRITIS  the pus is predominantly or exclusively in the first glass, in PROSTATITIS the pus is in the first and third glasses ;And in BLADDER and KIDNEY  infection the pus is in all three glassses.. .
