Google and Google scholar have significant varieties in the search results that they produce. Google generates more generalized information that is intended for a general audience. Nearly anyone can use Google to advance their knowledge on nearly any subject imaginable. Google scholar on the other hand generates articles from scientific databases that contain books and peer reviewed journal articles. This information isn't intended to be for the public audience and many people may find the information that this provides inaccessible. These are research articles that…

CT scan or MRA may result in the clinician oversight of some of the more subtle findings. It is expensive and the availability is limited. It is possible to evaluate RAS via angiogram, bet evaluation of the size of the stenosis tends to be imprecise. Additionally, angiography does not allow a cross-sectional assessment of the stenosis, and in the case of FMD, it is not possible to distinguish the different
Best Practices in the Management of Congestive Heart Failure In recent years, diagnostic testing and treatments for cardiovascular diseases have improved survival rates and the quality of life for many patients, with the sole exception of congestive heart failure (CHF), which has experienced increases in both prevalence and incidence (Rahnavard & Nodeh, 2014). Moreover, today, coronary heart diseases in general and CHF in particular are among the leading causes of mortality

, 2005). In addition, the workload on clinicians is often increased past the point of reasonable because it is too intrusive and time consuming to document patient encounters during clinic time (Grabenbauer, Skinner, and Windle, 2011). The amount of information that can accumulate in a patient's record from multiple sources can be daunting and lead to information overload. CDS alerts can be so common that clinicians begin to ignore them.
Efficacy of High Protein Low Carbohydrate Diets With Diabetics Diseases like diabetes depend on the nutritional intake of the patient for its control. In particular patients have been advised to reduce the direct intake of sugar since the disease renders the body incapable of controlling the free sugar levels in the blood stream. Since direct sugars are to be avoided, many dieticians have recommended a diet pattern that is less in
