What is a Cystometry/Cystometrogram (CMG)? Cystometry, or cystometrogram, with a pressure flow study is part of urodynamic testing (or UDS). These tests measure how well the bladder functions. They help diagnose problems related to urine control. These can be incontinence, difficulty emptying the bladder, overactive bladder, obstructions or frequent infections. Cystometry is used to measure how much urine the bladder can hold.
Tums - Expiration Date. I got a large package of Tums at a discount store for a really good price, but didn't notice the expiration date until later. They are marked June 2004 - I'd throw them out, but I remember my former boss who used to work at a pharmacy told me that asprin usually lasts much longer than its expiration date.
Providers typically use expiration dates that range from two to four years. A July 2012 MSN Money article noted that three years is the typical time frame. If a new card is issued in February 2014, it would expire in February 2017, for instance. This period of time allows the issuer to balance customer convenience for ongoing use with the marketing and security benefits of a time limit.
