Buerger's test Buerger's test Buerger's test is used in an assessment of arterial sufficiency. The "vascular angle", which is also called "Buerger's angle", is the angle to which the leg has to be raised before it becomes pale, whilst lying down. In a limb with a normal circulation the toes and sole of the foot, stay pink, even when the limb is raised by 90 degrees. In an ischaemic leg, elevation to 15 degrees or 30 degrees for 30 to 60 seconds may cause pallor. (This part of the test checks for "elevation pallor".) A vascular angle of less than 20 degrees
Type 90 Kyū-maru to the left of the main gun. The profile of the Type 90 is similar to the German Leopard 2A4 and it uses modular ceramic and steel composite armor, common in contemporary tank designs. The adoption of modular composite armor design facilitates the upgrading and exchange of the armor, and its frontal turret armor is rated at 380mm of effective thickness against kinetic energy penetrators, while the upper frontal hull armor is rated at 320mm of effective thickness against kinetic penetrators. The Type 90 is smaller than most main battle tanks with a height of , a width of ,
