Test, Brazelton
The Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) for children 0-6 years of age;
The ELM (Early Language Milestone) scale for children 0-3 years of age;
The CAT (Clinical Adaptive Test) and CLAMS (Clinical Linguistic and Auditory Milestone Scale) for children 0-3 years of age;
The Infant Monitoring System for children aged 4-36 months;
The Early Screening Inventory for children 3-6 years of age; and
The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (“the Peabody”) for testing children 2 1/2 to 4 years of age.
The purposes of developmental assessment depend on the age of the child. For a newborn, testing may detect neurologic problems, such as cerebral palsy. For an infant, testing often serves to reassure parents or to identify the nature of problems early enough hopefully to treat them. Later in childhood, testing can help delineate academic and social problems, again, hopefully in time to remedy them.

cancer of the pancreas, stomach, breast, lung, and certain types of thyroid and ovarian cancer. Levels over 20 ng/ml before therapy are associated with cancer which has already metastasized (spread). CEA is useful in monitoring the treatment of CEA-rich tumors. If the CEA is high before treatment, it should fall to normal after successful therapy. […]

- Test, EPO
Too little EPO might be responsible for too few red blood cells (such as in evaluating anemia). Too much EPO might be causing too many red blood cells (polycythemia). Too much EPO might be evidence for a kidney tumor. Too much EPO in an athlete suggests EPO abuse. The patient is usually asked to fast […]
