In Reply Due to the lack of an optimal clinical prediction model for inpatients with suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT), we agree with Klok et al that compression ultrasonography or venous duplex ultrasonography should be performed if there is strong clinical suspicion for thromboembolism. As was wisely mentioned by Price and Minichiello,1 new clinical decision rules that take into account inpatients' risk factors for suspected DVT are yet to be developed.

After two days of comeback rallies, Venus Williams' magic dried up Thursday in a third-round loss to Eugenie Bouchard at the Family Circle Cup on Daniel Island.
No. 6 seed Bouchard ousted No. 11 seeded Williams, 7-6 (6), 2-6, 6-4, to advance into the quarterfinals for the second consecutive year.
Williams pulled out wins after playing from behind in both of the first two rounds. The 33-year-old says her focus and energy raises when she's down in the match and for a while Thursday that seemed to be proving true again.
After falling in a tight 7-6 (6) opening set, Williams charged back with her best tennis of the day in a 6-2 win in the second set. Down 1-2 to start the second, the 2004 Family Circle Cup champion powered through the next six games, overwhelming Bouchard at times with her powerful serves and aggressive returns.
Williams' strong play carried over into the third set as she broke serve and took a 2-1 lead. Bouchard countered with wins in the next two games. Williams followed with a perfect eighth game to tie the set, 4-4, but Bouchard regained the advantage with a win in the ninth.
"Just a lot of ups and downs, a lot of errors," Williams said. "I just wanted to make the points shorter a lot of the times and made some bad choices."
With the match on the line, Bouchard stayed sharp. Leading 5-4, she broke Williams' serve and then returned her drop shot away from Williams into the open court to take the match.
Bouchard's win continues to solidify the 20-year-old's position as one of the game's rising stars. In less than a year, she's climbed from outside the top-100 rankings to No. 20 in the world. In September, she lost to Williams in three sets in Tokyo. Bouchard says aggressiveness made the difference between winning and losing Thursday.
"In the second set, I was really a bit too passive," Bouchard said. "The third (set) I focused on really sticking to the baseline and I think that made a difference.
"I wasn't mentally going for it enough. In the third, I decided to take it to her a little bit more ... just keep fighting, keep fighting and it paid off."
Bouchard advances to face Jelena Jankovic Thursday at 1 p.m. Ranked No. 8 in the world, Jankovic is the tournament's highest-ranked player remaining.
Former champions fall
Williams was the first of three former champions eliminated Thursday.
No. 4 seed and 2009 champion Sabine Lisicki fell, 6-1, 6-0, to Andrea Petkovic, while 2010 champion Samantha Stosur lost, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 to Lucie Safarova.
No. 2 seed Jankovic is the only former champion remaining after defeating Ajla Tomljanovic, 7-5, 6-1, Thursday. Tied 5-5 in the first set, Jankovic went on to win eight of the next nine games to take the match.
Also among those advancing Thursday was Jana Cepelova, who defeated Serena Williams in the second round, and Daniela Hantuchova, who defeated Shelby Rogers in the first round. Cepelova and Hantuchova will meet Friday at 7 p.m.

Allison Neason sent us this photo of a coyote seen floating in Shem Creek last week. The Moultrie News contacted the Department of Natural Resources and the Mount Pleasant Police Department for more information but none was forthcoming.
The Moultrie News ran an article last month focusing on the presence of coyotes east of the Cooper.
Coyotes first appeared in South Carolina about 30 years ago and continue to expand greatly in numbers. Coyotes roaming residential neighborhoods have been spotted all over Mount Pleasant and on the islands.
Though traditionally believed to be adapted to life in open areas, coyotes have expanded into most types of habitats. While they do well in agricultural communities, their relatively high tolerance for human populations allows coyotes to exist in most areas of South Carolina. This includes mountainous regions, swamps, dense forests, as well as suburban areas.
And according to wildlife experts, we'll probably have coyotes in our midst from here on out in some form or another.
According to Jay Butfiloski, Certified Wildlife Biologist with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources coyotes are opportunistic feeders, preying upon rabbits, rodents and other small mammals, supplementing their diet with fruits, berries, and insects. In other words, domestic pets could be in danger. Pet predation is usually due to the territorial nature of the coyote and lack of an alternative prey base in suburban areas.
While municipalities prohibit pet owners from allowing their pets to roam unattended, many domestic cats do. This puts them at great risk of being eaten.
Butfiloski said coyotes do not require X amount of space. Development may contribute to visibility perhaps, but they've always been there."
He explained that the animals learn to exploit small wooded areas. They can easily travel paths and marsh areas. "They exploit what they can - even broken landscapes," he said. "Residential landscapes are very favorable to them when looking for food, and places to hide."
And, the natural green spaces that citizens insist on having in their communities provide just the right area for coyotes to hide and feed. "It is great for these animals. They thrive in changes of habitat."
Butfiloski said that DNR does not have trappers they are not a regulatory agency or a nuisance wildlife control agency.
That is not what the agency is geared toward or funded for, he said.
But there are private companies that can handle that kind of work.
He cautioned going that route because you can spend a lot of time and a lot of money in a small footprint trying to trap coyotes. And, it will likely be all for nothing. He cited two reasons for this. First, coyotes travel great distances at any given time and secondly, they will likely come back if relocated.
"There is plenty of green space and land connectivity for them to roam. Even if you trap every one in Mount Pleasant today there is no guarantee that in one month more won't come too," he said.
Butfiloski cautioned against anyone paying for such a service.
"Normal nuisance control is easily accessible. But trying to trap coyotes is very time consuming and labor intensive. It takes specialized knowledge to catch coyotes," he said.
He said that once a homeowners association or a municipality agrees to trap and remove, they will be expected to do it every single time someone sees a coyotes because you've now set a precedence. "That's a slippery slope for an HOA because they'd be expected to continue. And the reality is that coyotes are here to stay. You can not rid a place of them and simply trying is challenging and expensive."
He said the biggest thing communities can begin to do, is accept the fact that they will have to live among coyotes and educate themselves and their neighbors.
"Subrban urban coyotes are tougher to deal with, but it is doable." He said that in the city of Chicago several thousand coyotes live there. "It doesn't take a whole lot of green space for the animals to adapt," he said.
For the most part, coyotes avoid people and activity. The key is to keep it that way, he said.
That's why they mostly roam at night.
Butfiloski said that people want to make it as unpleasant as possible for coyotes to be around people.
Should you come upon one, he said to throw things (like a rock or stick), yell and make noise. "Ideally you want to make it uncomfortable for them to be around. If that doesn't work back away slowly. It is similar to walking upon a strange dog. Don't turn and run or you might trigger a response. They are predators, he explained and they expect their prey to run.
He said they have a natural built in distance and they know how far away they must be to get away from you. They will retreat if you come forward.
"They do not see people as food. That is not something they would traditionally go after."
If you are walking a dog keep it on a shorter leash and do not let it roam. In a lot of cases, a coyotes is simply curious because after all, it is another dog.

An officer cruising down Hwy. 17 watched two cars pull out of Towne Centre, nearly into the wrong lane. Both cars turned 180 degrees and started driving towards the officer, northbound in the southbound lanes.
Two officers were on the scene now and followed the vehicles who made a last-minute turn into a nearby apartment complex. Officers caught up with the drivers. The officer that approached the driver found him to be leaning against his car like it was going to be some bother to speak with police. He reached in his wallet, pulled out his license, handed it to the officer and said, Whats this about? The officer told the man, who had beer on his breath, that he was driving down the wrong lane on the highway. He then motioned to his car and said But look, I parked my car correctly. However, the tires were on the grass and not in the space. When asked how much he had to drink, the man said two beers. When asked again, he said a couple of drinks. Then, he told the officer, There should be a sign to tell you that youre going the wrong way.
The officer went on to ask the man how long he had lived in town and where he worked. The man said hed lived here only a few months but worked in North Charleston. The officer then asked him how he got to work and if he traveled the highway to get there.
The man said yes and asked where the officer was going with these questions. The officer made the point that since this man drove the highway to work everyday, he should be familiar with it and the concrete raised median down the center of it.
The man responded, Somewhat. When asked about his glasses and if he needed them to see close up or far away, the man said he didnt know. Then he decided he wore them to see far away. So the officer said, So you can see close up? And the man replied, No. The officer asked again why he wore them and he said, In the middle.
They began field sobriety tests and the man refused to cooperate. At one point, he said the officer was going to take him to jail no matter what he did or how he did the tests.
The officer then asked him to recite the alphabet from F to S. He said, I can not do that sober. The officer said, You have a college degree and are a manager for a company and you cannot say your alphabet?
He responded by saying, I know this test. I used to give this test. I am an ex-cop. I know you are just going to put me in jail. The man refused to do any tests so he was arrested. The officer read him his rights, but the man kept saying I do not understand what you are saying.
At this point the officer did not question him any further and took him to the police station. On the way there the man told the officer, You look like a child molester.
Despite not cooperating, he blew a .12 on the Breathalyzer.
Causing a racquet
Two men who are regulars on the racquetball court decided to get together for a game one morning. One of the men said his nephew was in town and asked the other man if he would play against the nephew for a round. The friend and the nephew hit the court but competition got the best of the nephew. The report says he practically whipped the man, not only in points, but with his racquet as well.
Someone called police and the victim said that the nephew assaulted him three times during their game. He gave no reason why he continued to play with this 25-year-old kid, but went on to say that he was hit with a racquet in the face and in the ear. He said the nephew pushed him down during the game, then got into a shouting match in which bystanders could hear the nephew cussing him out. He also added that his friend, the kids uncle, watched the entire thing. According to the report, this kids father also watched the whole thing and neither intervened. Police were able to track down the suspect who said he never hit the victim except on accident while they were playing. He did say they got into a little shouting match, but that the victim cursed him. The victim declined to press charges, but wanted the officer to counsel the young man.
Visiting their Alma Mater
Someone set off an alarm at a local school and officers rushed over there to check out the building. Several officers entered the school through an unlocked door and announced themselves as they walked down the hallway. They came across a copier in the main hallway that was cycling through an error message. This didnt sit right with the officers. The school had been shut down for several days because of the holidays and the copier should not have been in use. Officers approached a hallway intersection and glanced into the media center where they saw three boys standing around the computers. The officers yelled for them to stay where they were and put their hands up. They drew their weapons and ordered the kids to the ground. They were all handcuffed while other officers cleared the rest of the building to make sure there was no one else inside. All three were taken to the station and separated into three different interview rooms. They all provided written confessions saying they were home for the holidays, got together and were bored. It seems they decided to go back to their old elementary school and see if it had changed. They were all taken to jail for trespassing. One boy was also charged with possession of burglary tools.
Little black book
A couple, who has been separated for the last year, but is actually living together, got drunk one night and got into one of their old marital spats.
It turns out the almost ex-husband was following his wife around the house annoying her. When she didnt pay him any mind, he snatched up her cell phone and started looking through it.
As they started arguing like old times, one of them called the cops, and when the cops arrived both started backpedaling, saying it was just an argument and no one got physical. The man said his wife was mad because he would not take her to her sisters house.
Then he went on to say that his wife got mad at him for nothing because the phone he snatched up was an old phone and he didnt think it would matter if he looked through it.
Leash law?
A postal worker was working her route when once again, she came across a big golden retriever running around without a leash or an owner in sight. She has had dealings with this dog before and was tired of being in fear for her safety. She saw the dog charging towards her and the owner was nowhere to be found.
Then out of nowhere, she saw the owner taking a leisurely stroll. By this point the dog was coming at her in an aggressive manner and she called to the owner to get the dog away from her. The owner didnt do anything and she pulled out Back Off Dog Repellent and sprayed the dog once in the eyes. The dog cowered away and the police were called. The officer spoke with the mail woman who said she did not want the woman to be cited, but she did want the dog to be secured from now on.
An officer went and spoke with the homeowner who admitted that she did not have the dog on a leash. The officer then went on to explain that there was a town ordinance that required all animals to be on a leash. She acted as if she didnt know this. However, she promised the dog would be on a leash from now on.
