How do you get rid of biting midges? To get rid of biting midges, don't water the plants in your house and garden too often. The soil needs to dry in between waterings, as the larvae of biting midges live in damp soil. Once the soil dries out completely, the larvae die.
On physical examination, check for the quadriceps angle, or Q-angle, which is the angle created between a line drawn from the center of the anterior superior iliac spine on the pelvis to the center of the patella and a second line from the center of the patella to the middle of the tibial tubercle.
By definition, a Q wave on the electrocardiogram (ECG) is an initially negative deflection of the QRS complex. Thus, a Q wave indicates that the net direction of early ventricular depolarization forces is oriented away from (by more than 90Âº) the positive axis of the lead in question. Although prominent Q waves are a characteristic finding in myocardial infarction (MI), they can also be seen in a number of noninfarct settings.
