plored and required surgical intervention. DPL was positive in all five; CT was' positive in two of the five (40%). Seven of nine laparotomies in the 35 stab wounds required surgical repair. DPL criteria were positive in all 7; CT was positive in 1 of the 7 patients (14%). DPL and CT both had one false positive study leading to unnecessary laparotomy. The overall sensitivity for DPL was 100% versus 25% for CT. Specificity was 98.9% for both DPL and CT. The authors conclude that in their experience DPL was the most i accurate method of determining the need for laparotomy in trauma patients and they urge caution on relying on CT alone for evaluating trauma. ## Steven M Chernow, MD arteritis, giant cell Giant cell arteritis, Multicenter study of 100 cases with positive biopsy
