so again my quest to get Crossover games to work with any game besides Delta Force Extreme (which sucks) continues. i installed swat 4 without a problem, but then when i played it it said "no disc inserted" when i clearly had inserted the disc. when i click on the disc it gives me the option to install it again but not to play it. wtf i just spent the last 10 minutes and 2 or so GB installing it!!how do i get it to run the game. please help, i am dying to play this game
Patient population: Adult patients with suspected or confirmed vertebral osteomyelitis, discitis, paravertebral abscess, or spinal epidural abscess. (This guideline does not address vertebral osteomyelitis associated with hardware placed at a previous surgery.)

Objectives: To improve the timely diagnosis and initial treatment of vertebral osteomyelitis, discitis or paravertebral abscess with or without spinal epidural abscess in adult patients at Michigan Medicine. This guideline does not address antimicrobial adjustments once microorganisms have been identified, and it does not address indications for surgery.
Clinical Presentation: Back pain in a patient who has risk factors (Table 1) or clinical features (Table 2) that increase suspicion for vertebral osteomyelitis/ discitis (VO) with or without spinal epidural abscess (SEA).
Blood culture sensitivity varies from 31-68%. Positive cultures are more likely to be present when the patient has a more severe, disseminated infection, and less likely when the patient has a localized infection (discitis). Staphylococcus aureus is the most common pathogen isolated, although there is an increasing prevalence of gram-negative organisms seen in IV drug users.
A noncontrast MRI is still an excellent test to identify VO/SEA. In patients with a contrast allergy, evaluation for a suspected vertebral inflammatory process with a noncontrast MRI avoids the 13-hour delay needed to complete a typical corticosteroid premedication protocol. A noncontrast spine MRI can essentially rule in or out an inflammatory process of the spine, discs, and spinal canal. However, contrast-enhanced imaging may ultimately be necessary to better delineate the true extent of an abnormality (eg, to identify subtle vertebral endplate abnormalities or subtle epidural extension of an inflammatory process).14
CT myelography is as good as MRI for delineating spinal cord or cauda equina compression, although it is a more invasive procedure and utilizes ionizing radiation. However, disc or spinal canal involvement by an inflammatory process that has not yet encroached on the thecal sac is poorly evaluated with CT myelography. It can demonstrate some of the osseous changes of osteomyelitis and even some paraspinal phlegmons or abscesses, but still not as well as MRI.
If neither MRI nor CT myelography can be performed, obtain a spine CT with IV contrast. Contrast CT is better than a noncontrast CT because intravascular contrast material may enhance the epidural venous plexus or the periphery of an inflammatory process within the spinal canal, spine, disc, or in the paraspinal region. However, CT with IV contrast is inferior to both CT myelography and MRI because it can potentially miss spinal canal extension (with or without spinal cord compression) by an inflammatory process.
When an interventional MR suite is not available, CT is the imaging modality of choice to guide biopsy of a disc, vertebral body, or paravertebral area.12 In some cases, as per radiologist preference, fluoroscopically-guided biopsy is an accepted alternative.17
FDG (18F-fluorodeoxyglucose) CT/PET imaging: While FDG CT/PET might be a viable imaging alternative when MRI is negative or equivocal, it is not considered a diagnostic option for the urgent assessment of VO. There are also logistical issues with obtaining after-hours FDG CT/PET imaging. Some studies suggest that metabolic imaging such as FDG CT/PET is as sensitive as MRI for the detection of VO and potentially more sensitive in the acute phase of VO when MRI may be negative or equivocal with respect to differentiation between degenerative changes and inflammatory changes.18 However, the limited resolution of FDG CT/PET inhibits the ability to discriminate among vertebral, discal and epidural inflammation, and makes it difficult to assess for involvement of the spinal canal and for spinal cord or cauda equina compression.7,17
Plain radiographs of the spine do not show soft tissues (eg, discs, inflammatory soft tissue, phlegmons, abscesses) and do not demonstrate even minimal osseous changes for at least several weeks after the onset of infection. They have no role in the urgent evaluation of patients with suspected spinal infection,7,11 with the possible exception of assessing for spinal stability (eg, lateral flexion and extension imaging). Perform such imaging with caution, particularly in a patient with a suspected pseudoarthrosis. When MRI demonstrates findings suggestive of inflammatory involvement of a disc or vertebral body, fluoroscopy (ie, real-time plain radiography), as opposed to CT, may be used to guide biopsy of a vertebral body or disc.

(Adopted by City Council on April 27, 2005 CR #051333.)
(1) Have at least sixty (60) semester hours college credit with a C average or better from an accredited college or university or must have completed at least five (5) years active duty service in the Armed Forces of the United States of America, with an honorable discharge as indicated on separation documents provided by the military. This requirement does not apply to uniformed Fire Department employees hired prior to January 5, 1966 transferring to Fire Prevention. (Adopted by City Council on April 27, 2005 CR #051333.)
Section 1. A. An employee of either the police, fire, or police and fire signal departments who has become disabled through injury in line of duty or disease shall be entitled to three months absence with full pay, provided the Director of Public Health of the City of Dallas shall hold such employee physically or mentally unfit for duty during such period, but any extension of absence with full pay in excess of three months is expressly within the discretion of the City Manager. The above is part of the personnel regulations as promulgated by the City Manager, and is incorporated as a part of this rule.
C. If, upon certification of his name to the chief or after he has resumed his duties, it is claimed by the chief that the employee is unable to perform the duties of his position in a satisfactory manner, the chief shall file his claim with the Civil Service Board, stating the reasons why he thinks the employee is not capable of performing the duties of his position. Then the Civil Service Board shall have the right to make such investigation as they might deem necessary and if, after their investigation, it is found that the employee is not able to satisfactorily discharge the duties of the position he held at the time of his disability, the Board shall have the right to certify him for a position lower than that which he held at the time of his disability, but, if there is not sufficient cause to order his reinstatement to a lower class, the Board may authorize his reinstatment to his former position, and the action of the Civil Service Board shall be final. The chief of the department shall not have the right to refer the case back to the Board after its final decision.
G. In case the employee is approved for duty, the Civil Service Board has the authority to certify his name for any position that might be open but, in no case, shall it be for a higher position than that which was held at the time of the disability. In case no vacancy exists, his name shall be placed at the head of the re-employment register. If, however, there is more than one name on the re-employment register, placed there in accordance with the rule, it shall be at the discretion of the Civil Service Board as to which name shall be selected to fill the first vacancy, consideration being given to length of disability, physical condition, and seniority. 2ff7e9595c
