Postgraduate Medicine Online, Diagnostic criteria and common features, Restless Legs Syndrome:"In 1995, the newly formed International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group developed criteria for diagnosing restless legs syndrome (3). Four basic elements must be present to make the diagnosis: (1) a desire to move the limbs, often associated with paresthesia or dysesthesia, (2) symptoms exacerbated by rest and relieved by activity, (3) motor restlessness, and (4) nocturnal worsening of symptoms. These and several additional features commonly seen in restless legs syndrome are discussed in the following paragraphs."

Pot, (Marijuana, Cannabis) Iowa Department of Public Safety:"Marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance. It is commonly grown in any climate that can sustain plant life. Marijuana can be grown locally or smuggled into the United States from other source countries.
Usually smoked as a cigarette or joint, or in a pipe or bong, marijuana has appeared in "blunts" in recent years. These are cigars that have been emptied of tobacco and refilled with marijuana, sometimes in combination with another drug, such as crack. Some users also mix marijuana into foods or use it to brew tea.
The main active chemical in marijuana is THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). Short-term effects of marijuana use include problems with memory and learning; distorted perception; difficulty in thinking and problem-solving; loss of coordination; and increased heart rate, anxiety, and panic attacks."

Postgraduate Medicine: Early intervention in massive pulmonary embolism
A guide to diagnosis and triage for the critical first hour:"In about 50% of patients with pulmonary embolism, the embolism is massive, that is, accompanied by at least one of several potentially compromising conditions.
