 article faster, but I had to guess that the relevant category would be “cardiovascular illness.” Exploring DS for the same question disclosed no mention of this article or of an earlier one by the same group. When I searched for evidence about the tests used in the diagnosis of temporal arteritis, there were several useful tables in DS. For the best method of diagnosing haemochromatosis, 1 citation in which the word was only mentioned in passing was retrieved.
A search for evidence for the treatment of hepatitis C found 5 articles, 2 of which were not relevant, and only 1 of 2 recent large trials of combination interferon-ribavirin treatment was mentioned. Other diagnostic and therapeutic questions yielded similar types of results.
Best Evidence 4 gives one the ability to rapidly search 2 of the premier evidence-based resources (ACPJC and EBM) currently available. It is most useful for quick searches for high quality studies. Its major problem is that studies not reviewed in its parent publications will not be found.
Best Evidence 4 may be purchased at subscriptions{at}bmjgroup.com for £70 (BMA Members £50 only and 10% off CD ROM for joint subscriptions to EBM and Best Evidence). Best Evidence 5 is expected early in 2001.As you will probably work out from my profile, I'm a software developer. This is sort of a software development question, but I think this is more suited to English language too.

A floppy disk can hold 1.44 megabytes of data.
My flash drive can hold 16 gigabytes of data.
I have just managed to compress a file from 1 megabyte to just 200 kilobytes.
How do I collectively refer to these units of data size/capacity?
Just like you did: "size units" or "capacity units". More generally, "units of digital information". Or "data size" (again, just as you did), or simply "size". Depends on the context, really.
The capacity of a floppy disk is 1.44 megabytes.
The capacity of my flash drive is 16 gigabytes.
The throughput capacity of my internet connection is 50 gigabits per second.
Don't mix bits and bytes. The generic term for bytes is storage hence storage capacity.
What do you think of "quantity of bytes"? The language in computer science is moving into an esoteric gibberish. No one tries to prune out all those nonsense and phantasy terms and use simple understandable names.
This makes sense if you're dealing specifically with bytes, but for a general measure of quantity or rate, it's not ideal. It's not the number of bytes that matters, it's the amount of data.
is information the word you are looking for?
Byte is the unit of information.
Your floppy disk can hold 1.44 megabyte of information.
What measures the Byte unit?

"The Goldfinch" is a masterwork of storytelling. When I picked it up, I had no idea what it was about but Amazon kept telling me I needed to read it. And although most of the characters in the book are deeply unlikeable, the story itself is written so compellingly - even beautifully - that I found myself totally sucked into the mind of Theo Decker and the world of The Goldfinch. Tartt lavishes loving attention on the most intricate details, but doesn't shy away from the brutal, absurd, or ugly either. This book is a win. A Pulitzer Winner, that is.It’s that time of year again. Yes, Rolling Loud Festival is making the rounds, and to get fans of the Miami Festival hyped for the event, the festival is working with ICECREAM for an exclusive capsule dropping before the Miami leg of the Hip-Hop gathering.
Rolling Loud Miami kicks off this coming weekend (July 23-25) and for attendees that want to show their support BBC ICECREAM offers their design appeal to some Rolling Loud-blessed T-shirts, and some weed-cessories to offer special products, and experiences along with the festival experience.
In the t-shirt department, we get the black, co-branded tee with a Low Rider expelling smoke. The smoke spells out Rolling Loud with a series of planets in tow. A second tee comes in white, featuring the planet-smoke design coming from a smoking dog character.
A third white shirt has a dandy ice cream character with a spliff hanging out of its mouth as well. In the accessories department, the collaboration gives us an iridescent herb grinder with the staple ICECREAM man also enjoying a spliff, in the company of co-branded rolling papers. Pieces from this collection retail for $6 to $60, and become available at BBC ICECREAM Miami and online starting today at noon.
Men with high-risk prostate cancer with at least one additional aggressive feature have the best outcomes when treated with multiple healthcare disciplines, known as multimodality care, according to a UCLA study led by Dr. Amar Kishan, assistant professor of radiation oncology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a researcher at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The study found no difference in prostate cancer-specific deaths across treatment modalities when patients received guideline-concordant multimodality therapy, which in this case was inclusion of hormone therapy for men receiving radiation and a low-bar for postoperative radiation in men undergoing surgery. The research team did however, find significant differences in deaths when guideline-concordant multimodality care was not delivered. Those treated with external beam radiotherapy or external beam radiotherapy with a brachytherapy boost were consistently associated with lower rates of distant metastasis (8% with EBRT+BT, 16% with EBRT, and 24% with RP, at 10 years).
The optimal treatment for patients with high-risk prostate cancer and additional aggressive features is currently unknown. It is important to understand whether multimodality care can help improve outcomes for this patient population without increasing side effects and lowering the quality of life. The researchers sought to find whether there was a difference in prostate cancer-specific mortality and distant metastasis associated with radiotherapy or radical prostatectomy.
UCLA investigators collaborated with 15 other institutions around the world to investigate treatment outcomes in 6,004 men with high-risk prostate cancer and at least one adverse clinicopathologic feature, which can include a Gleason grade group 4-5 diagnosis, disease extending into the seminal vesicles or tumor extending outside of the prostate capsule. Of the group, 3,175 underwent radiotherapy or upfront radical prostatectomy, 1,830 underwent external beam radiotherapy and 999 underwent external beam radiotherapy with a brachytherapy boost.
The study shows multimodality therapy is critical for treating more aggressive prostate cancers. While multimodality therapy resulted in equal drops in cancer-specific death, there were still lower rates of metastases in men receiving primary radiation, particularly with extremely high dose radiation, in conjunction with hormone therapy. This suggests men with very aggressive prostate cancers might have undetected disease outside the prostate. A type of systemic therapy that has an impact all throughout the bloodstream, such as hormonal therapy, might be helpful even in men receiving surgery.I focus my practice on cases relating to all criminal law matters, including traffic violations. I have strong roots in Virginia. I grew up in Stafford County and then attended Hampden-Sydney College where I became a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a B.A. in 2000. I then attended the T.C. Williams School of Law at the University of Richmond and received my J.D. in 2004.
I served as Assistant Commonwealth Attorney in Hanover County where I prosecuted nearly every type of criminal case and routinely advised and trained the officers of the Hanover County Sherriff’s Office. Working as a prosecutor provided me with extensive experience that now is helping me to assist my clients who are charged with crimes. I understand that my clients are not only facing possible loss of freedom, but also financial loss, stress, and strain on family and loved ones. It is this understanding that makes me work hard to achieve the most favorable result for each client, either though aggressive trial advocacy or negotiations with prosecutors. Regardless of the type of criminal charge, I strive to ensure each case receives personalized attention, thorough research, and zealous advocacy.
In addition to being an attorney, I also have served as a volunteer Paramedic for more than a decade. My extensive medical knowledge has proven immeasurable in many criminal cases that involve laboratory tests, medical records, and medical testimony.

Adam handled my speeding ticket with very short notice and got it dismissed. He had a great demeanor and presence with the Court. He told me that I didn't have to appear and that he could handle it from there. He was very professional. I could not have chosen a better firm or representation. Thank you!
