For example, for decades exercise electrocardiography has been used in the characterisation of patients with stable chest pain, and recent guidelines recommend the use of an emerging technology, non-invasive computed tomographic coronary angiography, in some patients.
Although some evidence for an association between back pain and impaired bone health was identified, comparability between the studies to define a web of evidence was limited due to poor characterisation of LBP amongst the cohorts described, particularly with respect to pain duration, severity and disability.
The meta-analysis confirms the similar and high diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography (US), MRI and MR arthrography (MRA) in the characterisation of full-thickness rotator cuff (RC) tears in individuals with shoulder pain.
After a descriptive characterisation of the study cohort, the proportion of patients with at least one diagnosis indicating pain in the incidence year of dementia or the respective year in those without dementia was estimated.

The self-reported chest pain in the ACS group was localised mainly retrosternal, and described as pressure compared with patients without ACS who had stabbing pain on the left side with aggravation on deep inspiration.
Further characterisation of basal sensitivity in the human MC1R variant female population has shown a substantially higher sensitivity to cold pain, both perception and tolerance, and a slightly lower tolerance of heat pain [21].
Also the majestic characterisation of the English.
