The distance from one's nose to the tip of one's finger, if one has one's arm extended as far as it will go sideways (adults).\n\nMy Mom, and the ladies at the fabric store used to rough-measure that way...

Pain is subjective so cannot be measured by the observer but is what the person experiencing pain says it is.\n\nThere are a number of ways of assessing the intensity of pain.\n\nThe person can rate the pain on a numerical scale eg 1 - 10\nIt can be rated on a descriptive scale eg no pain - worst pain imaginable\nIt can be rated by marking a point on a line such that further to the right indicates more intense pain.\nIt can be assessed using visual indicators such as faces.\n\nThe method used must be chosen to be appropriate to the person experiencing pain eg the face scale is useful for children.\n\nThe real use of the scale is to indicate the effectiveness of analgesia as hopefully it will decrease after treatment.

This is a test to measure the number of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood. In the laboratory, the blood is placed on a microscope slide and a stain is added that causes eosinophils to show orange-red granules. The technician then counts how many eosinophils there are per 100 cells. The percentage of eosinophils is multiplied by the white blood cell count to give the absolute eosinophil count.\n\nThe eosinophil count may help your doctor:\n\n    * Detect an allergic reaction and assess its severity\n    * Detect a parasitic infection\n    * Evaluate Hodgkin's disease\n    * Assess sensitivity to drugs (particularly some anticoagulants)\n    * Confirm acute hypereosinophilic syndrome (rare but sometimes fatal leukemia-like condition)\n\nFewer than normal eosinophils may be associated with:\n\n    * alcohol intoxication\n    * excessive production of adrenocorticosteroids (such as cortisol)\n\nFind more at: [Source]

A suntan is not an indicator of good health. Some physicians consider the skin's tanning a response to injury because it appears after the sun's UV rays have killed some cells and damaged others.\n\nNot everyone burns or tans in the same manner. There are ways to classify different skin types:\n\nA: Whether individuals burn or tan depends on a number of factors, including their skin type, the time of year, and the amount of sun exposure they have received recently. \n\nThe skin's susceptibility to burning can be classified on a five-point scale as outlined in the following table:\n\nSkin Type Tanning and Sunburning History\n1] Always burns, never tans, sensitive to sun exposure\n2] Burns easily, tans minimally\n3] Burns moderately, tans gradually to light brown\n4] Burns minimally, always tans well to moderately brown\n5] Rarely burns, tans profusely to dark\n6] Never burns, deeply pigmented, least sensitive\n\nThough everyone is at risk for damage as a result of excessive sun exposure, people with skin types I and II are at the highest risk.\n\nP.S. Thanks for answering me! I am really glad I found someone to know Frederic de La Taille! I miss him and I have no idea how can I find this guy...\nAnyways, even talking about him would be a joy!\n \nDid you meet him long time ago? Please write me, if you want at laurasalut@yahoo.co.uk

look to see how many decimal points the scale gives you.  that's the accuracy of the scale.\n\nif your scale gives you 0.10 it measures to within 0.01\n\nif your scale gives yoiu 0.100 it measures to within 0.001 accurancy.

There are several standards: Brinell uses a ball forced into the metal with a known force, the diameter is then measured and indexed. Rockwell is similar, with the depth being measured. Shores uses a diamond tip hammer is dropped onto the material and the bounce of the hammer measured. Vickers is similar to Brinell but a diamond shape is used instead of a ball. The Monotron Indicator  forces a point into the metal to a determined depth and the force required is measured. Keeps test uses a drill bit to penetrate the metal at a predetermined force and number of revolutions, the depth measured. Each has their own uses in various industries. There are numerous hardness conversion tables to compare the various methods.

What exactly is your question?\n Are you talking about impairment ratings, as performed in an IRE (Impairment Rating Evaluation)?   \nThere are standards of disabilities guidelines that physicians can follow. Based on body part(s) involved and the degree to which they are affected, a percentage of total disability can be determined.

the Mohs scale is a scale of hardness for gem material only and it goes by what will scratch what, like diamond at 10, corundum(sapphire and ruby) at a 9 and so on down the scale.  there are not equal increments between the numerical ratings either and scale does not apply to metals...  titanium will scratch very easily and really cannot be refinished while tungsten is extremely scratch resistant.

If you find "ABCD", consult your doctor!\n"A"symmetry: Check for moles that are asymmetrical.\n"B"order: Look for moles with irregular edge.\n"C"olor: Look for uneven distribution of pigmentation.\n"D"iameter: Look for moles >6 mm or rapidly increasing in size.

Registered Nurse here; Any change in mole, enlargement, change of color, texture, scab formation, etc.  Should immediately be evaluated by a dermatologist.  It could be cancer, however the odds are in your favor that it is not, however one never knows.  That's why it is so very important for a physician to evaluate this mole,  Dermatologist can sometimes tell just by the shape, color, etc, that it's of no significance, however if there is a question they will either biopsy it or remove it, either way it's sent for a pathology report to determine what type of cell growth is exhibited.  Please get it checked ASAP, and thanks for the opportunity to address such a well worded and important question.
