- Ornamental trees. These looks like the big trees symbol but with inner the-same drawing as the outer bold irregular circle.

- Ground covers. These is probably the simplest because you just have to make sketches in a down-up stroke that looks like the penmanship of a learning child, or you can also make it more interesting by drawing a leaf-oriented graphic.

- Accent or specimen plant. Drawn n such a way that it will look like a plant’s top view, only that it looks like a cartoon version.

- Decks and patios. There are different drawings for a particular material of decks or patios. Brick are drawn just how brick will appear. Stone will be drawn with a bold line covering its area and within are stone looking drawings. Exposed are the same as the stone, but this time with smaller stone looking drawing to illustrate irregular aggregate materials. The wooden deck is characterized with slanting lines all over the identified area.

All these symbols though are in plain view. The next concern in laying out a landscape design is the elevation. But this is the easiest part as all you have to do is draw a symbol in a standing position when you mean that it is elevated, while draw it in plain view when otherwise. Also, the bolder the ink, the bigger the plant or object is supposed to be placed in the landscape.

There are also other landscape designs that involve other design objects, drawing it on its top view will depict it in a specified area. With these symbols, there will definitely be lesser remarks to come with a design. In turn, it will make the lives of designer and layout artists easy.

Just like any art and science activities, landscaping is also using technical symbols. These landscape symbols are usually easily understood by those that are in the same career or business circle. Through these graphics or signs, landscape designers are able to understand and read a landscape layout without further explanations and texts. Usually, these design symbols are also classified into types. And to ensure that everything gets covered, even bricks and pavements are assigned with a relative drawing or graphics. Among the most relevant and prevalent in the landscaping business and designing are as follows:

- Deciduous shrubs. These can be in a single irregular circular plant-like graphic as well as in a continuous one to show whether the plant to be implanted is lone or in also continuous.

- Evergreen shrubs. These are drawn in the same irregular circular graphic, but this time with lines to close the circle or all lines having a focal point at the very middle of the drawing. It can also be just the same picture as the deciduous shrub but with a paralleling lines inside to emphasis it as an evergreen plant.

- Large deciduous trees. These are drawn n the way a tree may appear when you look at it at top view. Simple ones appear in irregular circular forms with a bold dot in the middle while more emphasized ones are in  an irregular circular graphic with leaves-looking drawings inside it as well as a branching drawing in the middle.

- Large evergreen trees. These are drawn like the evergreen shrubs but this time, bigger and with a point in the middle.

How Are Kidney Stones Diagnosed (part 2 of 2)

http://www.bromotravelindo.com
Intravenous Pyelogram or IVP is done after a contrasting agent is injected into the vein. Within minutes, the test will show if there is a kidney stone blocking the ureter. This is perhaps the best method to check if you have kidney stones even if there is a slight risk for an allergic reaction to the fluid that was injected into the vein.

If you think that the ultrasound is only used to see the baby growing inside the womb, think again because it can also be used to detect a dilated upper urinary tract and kidney if the stone is lodged in the ureter. Its limitation is that it cannot detect kidney stones that are no longer in the kidney area.

Another term for retrograde pyelogram is a cytoscopy. The test begins by inserting a telescopic instrument into the bladder. Then, similar to the IVP, a contrast agent is injected into this opening and an x-ray is done to find the kidney stone.

Some doctors say this is better than IVP because there is no way to get an allergic reaction from the contrasting agent. This is because you will first be injected with anesthesia so in essence, you don’t feel anything.

Among the different tests done to detect kidney stones, this is only used when other tests have proven to be inadequate or unsuccessful.

It is only after careful diagnosis that doctors will be able to tell if you have kidney stones or not. From there, they can treat you by giving some medication or advising you to drink lots of water because you may be able to expel the stones on your own. But if this does not work, then surgery is the next option.
