  In the right eye an inferonasal peripapillary hyperfluorescence was related to a small cotton-wool spot. Results of physical examination were unremarkable and blood pressure was normal. The patient was a 50 pack-year cigarette smoker. [docslide.com.br]

However, it has never been shown that an exhaustive workup for malignancy is cost-effective or beneficial. [drsami.com]

A workup revealed no evidence of polycythemia rubra vera or a secondary cause of her polycythemia (her erythropoietin level was normal, she had no splenomegaly, and a test for JAK2 v617F mutation was negative). [clinmedjournals.org]

A patient’s travel history should be taken to determine the likelihood of high-altitude effect and thus possibly avoid having to conduct an extensive workup. [what-when-how.com]
