The following protocol should be 43 muscle relaxant metabolism order genuine imitrex on-line,44 followed to xiphoid spasms buy imitrex online pills ensure consistency in the assessment of waist circumference: a muscle relaxant medications back pain purchase 50mg imitrex. The candidate’s waist should be exposed muscle relaxant list by strength purchase imitrex 25mg online, sufficient for the relevant bony landmarks to muscle relaxant used during surgery discount imitrex 25mg without a prescription be identified xanax muscle relaxant dose purchase cheapest imitrex. The candidate should be standing with the feet together, weight evenly distributed and with a relaxed arm position. The candidate should breathe normally and the waist measurement is to be taken at the end of normal expiration. The correct position is midway between the bottom of the ribcage and the uppermost border of the iliac crest. If there is difficulty locating the bony landmarks the tape is to be placed at the level of the umbilicus. Personnel working in noisy working environments are at risk of hearing damage, which may result in deafness and/or tinnitus. Audiometry is the standard health surveillance tool for the assessment of noise-induced hearing loss and all new entrants must have their hearing acuity assessed by pure tone audiometry. This requirement will provide a baseline against which future audiometry can be compared and will also highlight any disorder of hearing at recruitment. The standards of hearing acuity required by individual trade groups are a single-Service issue and the relevant single-Service publications contain detailed information on these standards. For detailed 45 information on health surveillance once in service see the Surgeon General’s Policy Letter 12/06. The basis of audiometric assessment is the summing of high and low frequency levels in decibels (dB) over six frequencies. The assessment is recorded under the first H for the right ear, and under the second H for the left ear. There are five grades of hearing acuity: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8, described in the following table: Table D1: Grades of hearing acuity. Grades Sum of hearing level at Sum of hearing level at high General description low frequencies in dB frequencies in dB 1 Not more than 45. Unilateral hearing loss also required specialist assessment, with investigation as necessary. Those with unilateral or bilateral hearing loss who are considered suitable for continued employment in the Services must be subject to appropriate controls and education (both of the individual and their managers) to ensure appropriate protection from exposure to noise and to reduce the risk of any further deterioration in hearing. It is important to remember that hearing acuity does not necessarily correlate closely with hearing function or ability to undertake effectively and safely any particular employment role. Any functional impairment that is found to be due to impaired hearing should be reflected in the P quality. In both these cases the impaired hearing acuity will be reflected in the H quality for each ear. Other ophthalmological examination requirements are detailed in Annex B and Annex G (red/green colour vision perception). Failure to meet the standards is a cause of premature discharge and examiners must be wary of potential pit-falls in testing. Examining medical officers are to be aware of the potential for long term wear contact lens users to forget to declare their use of visual correction. Before being given an appointment for a pre-Service medical examination, the candidate is to be questioned as to whether he or she wears spectacles or contact lenses and one of the following procedures applied. All candidates who wear spectacles or contact lenses are to provide a visual correction prescription dated in the previous 6 months which may be requested prior to the pre-service assessment. New entrants who wear spectacles only are to be instructed to bring their spectacles with them when attending the medical examination. New entrants who wear contact lenses (hard or soft) and already have spectacles are therefore: (1) To be instructed not to wear their soft contact lenses for at least a period of 48 hours prior to their medical examination, or 10 days in the case of hard contact lenses. New entrants who wear contact lenses but do not have spectacles are: (1) To be instructed not to wear their soft contact lenses for at least a period of 48 hours prior to their medical examination, or 10 days in the case of hard contact lenses. Distant visual acuity (both uncorrected and corrected) is to be measured and recorded at each assessment. The following instructions should be observed to ensure accuracy in the use of distant vision test charts. A standard 6 metre Snellen chart is to be used, adequately 47 illuminated, and set at exactly 6 metres from the candidate. The eye not under examination is to be properly occluded, be directed towards the chart and the candidate must not be allowed to turn their head. The candidate may not screw up the eyes during testing; this includes the eye under cover. Since it is easy to memorise the top three letters of the chart, a prior view of the chart invalidates the test. Single-Service guidance provides details of the testing procedures required and standards to be achieved. The physician is not expected to perform an exhaustive psychiatric examination; however, a limited enquiry should always be made. The most effective method is one of professional interest coupled with a respect for the candidate’s personality and feelings. Questioning should begin with points relevant to the situation but of low emotional content. This can lead onto a more general discussion of social background, work history and emotional relationships. The M quality is assessed in the recruit selection process by intelligence testing. There is no adequate group test for temperament or personality and reliance must be placed on history. Contact with psychiatric services, substance abuse, eating disorders and contact with police and social services should all be elicited. The medical examiner should follow the specific psychiatric guidance for entry as detailed in Section 4. The M quality for serving personnel is not equivalent to that applied in the preservice assessment. It is a clinical classification distinguishing those whose mental capacity makes them suitable for normal employment or deployment from those whose limited capacity may affect employability. Although the examining medical officer may make a recommendation, permanent re-grading of the M quality must always be made following assessment by a Service neurologist or clinical psychologist. Although the examining medical officer may make a recommendation, permanent re-grading of the S quality must always be made following assessment from Service mental health 48 specialists. The medical examiner should follow the specific psychiatric guidelines for serving personnel as detailed in Section 5. Those who are below M2 and S2 will exhibit a reduction in their overall functional capacity, and this should be reflected in a reduced P quality. Testing of colour perception is conducted using the standard Ishihara plates and, when necessary, the Holmes-Wright colour vision testing lantern. Lantern testing is to be done by medical officers or opticians trained in its use. Apart from certain uncommon cases of injury or disease, colour perception alters little during Service life. The test on entry is regarded as final and re-testing is only done for strong executive or medical reasons. The correct recognition of the first 17 plates of the Ishihara test (24 plates abridged edition 1969) shown at a distance of 50 –100cm. The correct recognition of colours used in relevant trade situations and assessed by simple tests with coloured wires. The test plates are presented to the examinee at a distance of 50 – 100 cm (20-40 inches) for not more than 5 seconds. This test is usually performed by Service ophthalmologists or other trained persons. These are viewed at a distance of 6m (20ft), either by direct vision or mirror reversal, in light surroundings or in total darkness as laid down in current instructions. The colour pairs can be changed by rotating the colour setting flange at the rear of the lantern, the colour pairs presented being indicated by the code number visible in windows on each side and at the rear of the lantern. In order to reduce errors the examination method and instructions to the examinee should be followed exactly in each case. The colours are shown in pairs one above the other in any combination of red, green or white. Turn the colour setting flange to Code 4, 6, 8 or 2 (that is any red/green combination). If the examinee uses any colour name other than red, green or white remind him that only these words should be used. The lantern is not to be opened except for routine annual servicing, at which the lamp is changed. Have you suffered any illness or injury, consulted your doctor or received any medication Yes No during your deploymentfi Are you aware of any environmental exposure during your deployment (eg depleted uranium, Yes No noise, vibration or infectious disease)fi Environment 3 For screening audiometry to be as accurate as possible, it is necessary to minimise extraneous noise, in case this masks the test tones and gives a false result. The frequencies most sensitive to environmental interference are the low frequencies of 1 kHz and below. These frequencies may result from people walking through or past a testing area – this should be taken into consideration when siting the test room. The requirements for audiometry should be considered during all new building work or contracts for facilities where audiometry will take place. In all but exceptional circumstances, it is necessary to use an audiometric soundproof booth to achieve acceptable testing conditions. Testing within MoD should be undertaken in an 51 appropriate booth, which must be serviced and maintained to the correct standard. A minority of people find audiometric booths claustrophobic and need to be tested outside the booth. The audiometer is to be set to record in 5 dB increments, and not used in Bekesy mode. Earphones are calibrated to a particular audiometer, and it is not acceptable to swap earphones between audiometers. If earphones need to be changed, the audiometer must be sent for recalibration with the new earphones as laid out in Paras 8-10 below. Manual pure tone audiometry is the gold-standard of hearing threshold measurement. Manual audiograms are only to be conducted by personnel trained, as a minimum, to current British Society of Audiology Education Committee Guideline on the Training of Industrial Audiometricians standard. This is to ensure that manual audiometry is carried out in a repeatable and accurate manner. A basic calibration of each audiometer is to be performed by a competent laboratory annually. The annual check must incorporate calibration of the earphones used with the audiometer. This is important, as the earphones are often the weakest link in the calibration chain, being easily damaged in use. An experienced and trained 54 individual with good hearing should listen at each frequency and at 3 sound intensities to ensure that no extraneous noise is generated by the apparatus. In order to ensure that screening audiometry is as accurate as possible, and does not miss early changes in hearing acuity, the test must be performed in a consistent manner with care. Personnel undertaking screening automatic audiometry should be trained in the procedure. In addition an e-learning package is being developed for use for update and refresher training in medical centres. Personnel newly arrived on a unit are to be supervised until they have demonstrated a satisfactory standard. This check may be undertaken locally, but should be recorded in local training documentation in a manner that is available to Healthcare Governance Assurance Visit teams. Any individual who has not performed audiometry within the past year is to undergo the local refresher training before performing unsupervised audiometric testing. It is important that audiometry is undertaken under standardised test conditions with close attention to quality control procedures. Quality control is important to improve the repeatability and reliability of the data produced. Comparisons between audiometric results taken over a period of time on one individual are an important part of interpretation in an on-going and effective audiometric programme. To ensure that results are comparable it is essential that standardised method of testing is used. Careful explanation to the subject of the procedure and familiarisation with the test tones before the test begins are also essential for the collection of reliable data. The criteria used to determine the accuracy with which results are obtained include: 55 a. An aide memoire for the procedure below is detailed in the protocol for performing screening audiometry flow-diagram. If they had not had an audiogram before, the initial noise and health questionnaire at Appendix 2 should be completed. For subsequent audiograms, the previous medical records including last audiogram(s) should be available. Any significant changes to personal details, job or noise exposure should be noted, and if necessary the questionnaire at Appendix 2 should be completed again. With the exception of subjective hearing loss, individuals with any problems 57 should be referred to an appropriate clinician before the test proceeds. If significant amounts of wax are present (here defined as obscuring more than 80% of the view of the tympanic membrane), the wax should be removed by somebody trained in the procedure.

Pigmented naevi of the genital region rarely present a problem but they do frequently raise fears of melanoma [2] infantile spasms 9 month old order 50mg imitrex otc. Despite this muscle relaxant 2 generic 50 mg imitrex with amex, melanoma in children is rare spasms near sternum imitrex 25 mg otc, and there have been very few reports of childhood genital melanoma [3] spasms back pain and sitting imitrex 50mg mastercard. There is no documented evidence that pigmented naevi of the genital area have a particular malignant potential [4] muscle relaxant abuse imitrex 25mg line. Pigmented naevi with the histopathology of “atypical naevi” occur on the genital skin zoloft spasms discount imitrex 25 mg with amex, however a recent study confirms that they have a benign clinical course and cautions against over diagnosis of melanoma. They may be localized or part of a larger lesion that extends to the leg and buttock. They are usually pigmented, but when they extend onto the macerated skin of the perineum or labia minora, they may have a white appearance. If they become large, they can interfere with function, particularly in the perianal area. Epidermal naevi can be mistaken for warts, in turn giving rise to queries of child abuse. If they are itchy they can be mistaken for treatment-resistant lichenified eczema or napkin dermatitis [6]. Management Itchy genital epidermal naevi may be very resistant to topical therapy. For example, a warty perianal lesion is best removed, and sometimes recalcitrant itching is relieved only by surgically excising the lesion. However, if they are not causing problems, it is best just to reassure the patient and leave the lesions alone. Vascular Naevi Haemangioma of infancy is the commonest neoplasm seen in the neonatal period. If minor this can be effectively managed with occlusive dressings however serious ulceration responds to oral propranolol. In this condition a large segmental genital haemangioma is associated with abnormalities of the anorectal and urinary tract, vulva and lower spine. These presented with cutaneous macular stains, swelling, deformity, bleeding, fluid leakage and infection. Bleeding from genital lesions as well as haematuria may occccur in these patients and approximately half of them eventually require surgical intervention for genitourinary complications. They can present a very difficult therapeutic challenge and are frequently devastating for the patient and her family. Treatment using direct injection venography using ethanol sclerotherapy has been described as a successful treatment for vulvar venous malformation. Blisters and ulcers of the vulva in children Blistering and ulcerative conditions of the vulva are unusual at any age, and are probably no rarer in children than in adults. Infection with Staphylococcus aureus resulting in bullous impetigo and herpes simplex should be kept in the differential diagnosis. Immunobullous disease Vulvar bullous pemphigoid Although bullous pemphigoid is very rare in children, when it does occur it may be localized to the vulva. The blistering lesions, which rapidly erode, occur around the labia minora and majora, glans penis and perianal area [1,2]. Localised vulvar bullous pemphigoid may be a distinct subtype of childhood bullous pemphigoid. The biopsy appearance is typical of bullous pemphigoid at any site, with linear C3 and immunoglobulin G (IgG) [2]. Like other unusual vulvar conditions in children bullous pemphigoid has been mistaken for sexual abuse. However, the condition may be cicatrizing and require systemic therapy with prednisone and immunosuppressive therapy [5]. Non sexually acquired acute genital ulcers Acute non sexually acquired genital ulcers were first described by Lipshutz in 1913. Since then the medical literature has been quite confused on the subject and these lesions are probably under-reported. Acute non-infectious ulceration can be either recurrent (most often thought to be due to aphthosis or part of Behcet’s, Crohn’s disease or Coeliac disease) or a single event. This latter clinical situation has been termed “Lipshutz ulcer”, “Ulcus Vulvae Acutum” and “Sutton’s Ulcer” and has been attribute most often to Ebstein Barr infection, although it may be a response to a number of aetiological agents. They are very painful and may take several weeks to heal, often with some scarring. Epstein–Barr virus is often implicated in these lesions and a recent study of 13 cases reported it in 4 [7]. Aphthous Ulcers Aphthous ulcers are usually small, painful lesions that may begin in childhood or adolescence, and subsequently recur at intervals that can be infrequent to frequent and disabling. Oral aphthous ulcers are very common, but uncommonly these lesions may also occur on the vulva. It is important to recognize these lesions, however, as they are commonly mistaken for genital herpes simplex and other sexually transmitted infectious diseases [8]. Severe aphthosis of the oral and genital mucosa in the absence of systemic manifestations is termed ‘complex aphthosis’ and is possibly a forme fruste of Behcet’s disease [12]. Various infectious agents, such as herpes simplex virus, Helicobacter pylori and Streptococcus species, have been implicated but not reproducibly isolated. Similarly, there has been no consensus on the nature of the immune dysregulation that has been postulated in both Behcet’s disease and complex aphthosis. Clinically the ulcers are usually small round or oval, shallow lesions with a sharply defined edge and an erythematous margin. When they occur on the vulva they are usually found on the mucosal surface of the labia minora. The diagnosis of aphthosis is a clinical one and an important one in a child presenting with a large painful genital ulcer, who is very likely to be traumatized by investigations for sexually transmitted disease, and to be subjected to unnecessary biopsy, which is non-diagnostic. Recurrent and major aphthosis should be differentiated from Behcet’s disease and Crohn’s disease. It is usually recommended that these patients be investigated for iron, folate and B12 deficiency; however, in the author’s experience such investigations are often noncontributory. Minor aphthosis can be managed with reassurance and topical potent corticosteroid or topical tetracycline. The situation of a child with a large, very painful genital lesion can be rapidly alleviated with oral prednisone at a dose of 0. Healing occurs within 1 week and the corticosteroid can then be rapidly tapered off. Recurrent disease may be palliated with low-dose oral tetracycline in children over the age of 8 years. Other oral medications that have been considered useful include dapsone, colchicine and thalidomide [13]. Vulvar fixed drug eruption Fixed drug eruption is an uncommon drug reaction, which, when found on non-genital skin, presents as sharply demarcated round or oval plaques recurring at a fixed location. The offending drug has usually been administered within the last 12 h, and sometimes eruption will occur within 30 min of ingestion. In this location it presents in girls as a bilaterally symmetrical erosive eruption involving the vulva that may spread to the groins and buttocks. The onset is sudden, and it resolves spontaneously over a period of about 2 weeks. The symmetry of the eruption and the lack of postinflammatory pigmentation on the genital area may make the diagnosis difficult. When a drug is constantly administered, genital fixed drug eruption may present as a constant erosive eruption that is puzzlingly treatment resistant. The differential diagnosis includes acute streptococcal vulvitis and balanitis, acute contact dermatitis and recurrent perineal erythema. Drugs that have most often been implicated in children include paracetamol, cotrimoxazole, hydroxyzine and methylphenidate [14]. Vulvar involvement is usually part of a generalized reaction but occasionally erythema multiforme can be mainly or only mucosal. It therefore favours the axilla and anogenital area but may occur on the buttocks, breast and scalp. Although it is usually seen in young adults and older people, it may occur in children, particularly those approaching and at puberty. Children with androgen excess and premature adrenarche may suffer from the disease prematurely [20, 21]. Although the true aetiology of this disease remains unknown, it does appear that follicular occlusion in apocrine gland-bearing skin is the primary event. The disease in most cases appears to be androgen dependent, and it has been postulated that these patients have an end-organ hypersensitivity to androgens. Clinical features the earliest signs of the disease are tender dermal nodules that may progress to suppuration and scarring. Although bacterial swabs are usually negative, superinfection may result in recurrent cellulitis. The disease may become debilitating, with constant painful nodules in the groin and axilla. The connection between smoking and this condition seen in adults can manifest in children who are passive smokers. Particularly in children, in whom the disease may not be suspected, recurrent folliculitis or staphylococcal boils are usually diagnosed initially. If the area of skin affected is localized, surgical excision is probably the treatment of choice. However, such surgery is not trivial and initial management with oral tetracycline in children over the age of 8 years will often provide adequate control. In postpubertal children the addition of an antiandrogen, such as cyproterone acetate, is helpful. There have been reports of the use of isotretinoin but results are unpredictable, however infliximab appears to be a promising therapy.

Abnormal-appearing genitalia present at birth in a girl has two most frequent causes: masculinization due to congenital adrenocortical hyperplasia as a result of an inherited defect of steroid synthesis and imperforate hymen. Agenesis of the labia minora and clitoris has been described as a congenital abnormality. It is not seen in adults, unless they have scarring skin diseases such as lichen sclerosus. It may be noticed from infancy to the age of 6 years, but the peak incidence is at 13–23 months of age. The cause of labial adhesions is unknown but they are probably the result of inflammation and oedema associated with dermatological conditions such as dermatitis. Adhesions are commonly encountered with vulval lichen sclerosus and have been reported in association with calcinosis cutis [5]. Fusion of the labia is not a malformation and is acquired, but it may appear very early and has even been seen at birth. Clinically the labia minora or majora are agglutinated to a variable degree from the tip of the clitoris to the posterior fourchette. This may result in an abnormal-looking vulva with no apparent vaginal opening or the vulva may look relatively normal but there appears to be a membrane across the vagina when the labia majora are parted [6] Not all children with adhesions are symptomatic, but some experience soreness or itching. This is the only condition for which oestrogen cream is effective in a prepubertal child. The cream need be applied only once per day, and the fusion usually resolves over a 2to 6-week period. Once the fusion has separated, ongoing treatment with soap avoidance, topical lubricants and 1% hydrocortisone is recommended. This can be a problem as oestrogen creams are irritating in children and they tend to sting, making cooperation difficult. Prolonged use of oestrogen creams in prepubertal girls may lead to breast budding and increased growth of hair. In some patients, surgical separation under local or general anaesthesia will be required, particularly where dense fibrous adhesions have formed. The condition tends to resolve spontaneously at puberty, however, and surgery should only be undertaken if the condition is symptomatic. Dysuria, pain with activities, urinary retention and almost complete occlusion of the vestibule leading to a pinpoint opening with abnormal urinary stream are indications for such treatment. Infantile pyramidal perineal protrusion Although this has only recently been labelled as an entity in the medical literature [11], it is probably not rare. It is noticed in infancy as an asymptomatic soft protrusion of the median raphe, mostly in girls. Some cases have been seen in association with lichen sclerosus[12] and chronic constipation [13].

Hypopigmented interface variant of cutaneous T-cell lymphoid dyscrasias in a 12-year-old. B, Lymphoid infiltrate extensive fat necrosis encountered composed of small to intermediate cells along the basal cell layer. Hyalinosis of the alopecia, first reported by Sarkany,31 persist chronically, without signififat lobule, germinal centers, and is a rare chronic skin disorder precant improvement with the use of prominent mucin deposition, while senting with sharply demarcated erytopical corticosteroids. However, some degree of Other clinical signs of adnexotrochronic syringotropic lymphoid inmucin, typically in the middle and pism, such as prominent punctate eryfiltrate may be associated with Sjofigren deeper reticular dermis, can be obthema resembling keratosis pilaris or syndrome. B, Skin biopsy specimen showing a superficial interstitial and perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate with erythrocyte extravasation and hemosiderin deposits (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification 20). C, Golden brown poikilodermatous patches involving the abdomen that developed a few years later in the same patient. D, Biopsy specimen obtained at the time of C showing an atypical lymphoid infiltrate along the dermoepidermal junction with characteristic features of the poikilodermatous presentation of mycosis fungoides (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification 4). The main dilemma for Anotherpointofcontroversyisthe in vellus hair follicles, hair loss may the histopathologist is to decide conceptintroducedbyBraun-Falco44 not be noted. The condition is often whether there are sufficient histoof a distinction between primary (or difficulttotreatandcanlastforyears. Meanwhile, many cases tends to affect older patients and is the term follicular mucinosis was with similar histologic features may characterizedbytumidalopeciawith proposed by Jablonska et al41 to dehaveasolitarylesionandneverevolve intense pruritus. Cerroni et al45 demonareaswithhighfolliculardensity,such cin deposits within the hair follicle stratedthatfollicularmucinosis,even as the head, neck, and upper torso. Focal mucinous changes of a young patient, is often characteriform papules, deep cysts, pustules, the follicular unit, especially involvized by a persistent T-cell clone, and andmucinsecretion. B, Atypical lymphocytic lobular panniculitis without significant destructive alterations of the fat (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification 40). C, Higher-power magnification of B showing the composition of the mononuclear cell infiltrate as one of histiocytes and small to intermediate lymphocytes and some erythrocyte extravasation. The characteristic internal rimming of the adipocytes seen in panniculitislike T-cell lymphoma is not present (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification 100). D, Capillaroscopy (GeneScan assay; Applied Biosystems, Foster City, California) of lesion biopsied in 2004 shows a polyclonal background profile with a dominant clone (187 and 257 base pairs [bp]). B, Initial biopsy specimen showing a lymphoid infiltrate centered around the eccrine coil. There was no significant atypia or epidermotropism (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification 10). C, Punctate erythematous papules involving the soles and torso that developed 4 years later. The diagnosis of syringotropic mycosis fungoides was made (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification 40). A, Single indurated plaque on the left cheek with prominent follicular-based papules. B, Biopsy specimen at low magnification showing mucinous degeneration of the pilosebaceous unit associated with a prominent lymphoid infiltrate (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification 4). C, Specimen showing no significant lymphoid atypia, but a T-cell clonality was identified on polymerase chain reaction analysis (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification 40). When follicular muplied to predict the course of folchenoides et varioliformis acuta cinosis is seen under the microlicular mucinosis. A, Classic changes of pityriasis lichenoides as defined by epithelial hyperplasia and striking migration of lymphocytes to involve all layers of the epidermis. Extensive red blood cell extravasation is seen amid a superficial interstitial and perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification 20). B, Molecular studies of samples from a 56-year-old woman with long-standing pityriasis lichenoides chronica obtained at different times showing an oligoclonal process with similar molecular profiles. The the chronic variant tends to persist epithelial attenuation and poikilodernotion of large-plaque parapsoriawith waxing and waning lesions for matous changes. This vere variant characterized by the orrhagic and necrotic appearance of may be true for some of the cases carsudden onset of diffuse ulcerated, the lesions, which seems to be selfrying this diagnosis; however, in confluent patches associated with destructive, resulting in short flares many cases, there are insufficient high fever and constitutional sympand resolution with scars. Yet only a small proportion of evolution may explain the comlished observations, 2006). Most ternate appellation for this condition including low counts of Sefizary cells, of these conditions have been hisisdigitatedermatosis. The authors drew a petuation with gradual acquisition of such as a drug eruption or associparallel between idiopathic erythproliferative and antiapoptotic feaated dermatoses, is never estabroderma and monoclonal gammopatures. There is more than 1000 circulating Sefizary ity in this setting is not necessarily probably an initial T-cell clonal event, cells per square millimeter.
