H Bettelheim, and N Fourtis

Twenty-three patients presenting with clinical and angiological signs of temporal arteritis were examined by ODG and DUSG. While the results of ODG were positive in all 23 patients, DUSG failed to furnish diagnostic evidence of temporal arteritis. Findings with DUSG were positive in only 9 out of 23 patients. DUSG is less suitable than ODG as a means of diagnosing temporal arteritis.

D012212	Rheology	The study of the deformation and flow of matter, usually liquids or fluids, and of the plastic flow of solids. The concept covers consistency, dilatancy, liquefaction, resistance to flow, shearing, thixotrophy, and VISCOSITY.	Flowmetry,Velocimetry,Velocimetries
D013700	Giant Cell Arteritis	A systemic autoimmune disorder that typically affects medium and large ARTERIES, usually leading to occlusive granulomatous vasculitis with transmural infiltrate containing multinucleated GIANT CELLS. The TEMPORAL ARTERY is commonly involved. This disorder appears primarily in people over the age of 50. Symptoms include FEVER; FATIGUE; HEADACHE; visual impairment; pain in the jaw and tongue; and aggravation of pain by cold temperatures.
