Good luck with that.
"Unfairly terminated" sounds like opinion rather than fact, and police departments are in no way obligated to chase down every mumbo-jumbo psychic's babble before concluding "no, we have no leads on this that aren't totally fraudulent, better drop the investigation."
If you really believe in this psychic, hire a private investigator at your own expense. If they turn up any real evidence, the police might reopen the case.
How is systemic lupus erythematosus diagnosed?

Specific objectives of acute glomerulo nephritis?
There are different World Health Organization classifications for lupus nephritis. A kidney biopsy is required to determine which classification and which level of disease activity. Different classifications respond to different treatments. The goals of treatment in lupus, including lupus nephritis, are to reduce the symptoms such as inflammation and to prevent permanent or increased damage. This goal is accomplished through the use of immunosuppressive medications. In addition to prednisone and plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine), chemotherapies and biologics are also used. Since there are different classifications of lupus nephritis, and since the classification may change in an individual over time, and since each patient responds differently to these medications, there is no one answer.
The question is unclear, however If you go to the related link (Antinuclear Antibody Test ) below you Will find detailed information on the Antinuclear Antibody Test

Does tanner Boyle in The Bad News Bears care about timmy lupus?
Tanner's growing concern for Lupus is demonstrated in the scene when he defends Lupus from a few of the Yankee team members that have locked Lupus in a portable potty and are attempting to turn it over, though Tanner himself ends up tossed in the trashcan due to underestimating his own strength. When Lupus goes to thank Tanner, Tanner gives him a scathing remark that obviously hurts his feelings and (again, better seen in the original because the original actors and filmmakers were better at conveying and capturing emotional expression through facial features alone), Tanner shows instant regret and guilt for his cruelty, as if realizing he's no better than the boys he just chased off.
In the original, the friendship is sealed in the end when Lupus calls out a vulgar challenge to the Yankees, but this is diminished in the remake when the line is given to a new character, Prem.
In Breaking Bad, the sequel to the original, Tanner expresses dismay that Lupus won't be able to go with the team on their trip, stating that it wouldn't be the same without him and confirming that Tanner and Lupus had formed a strong friendship since the first movie.
So, the answer is no and then yes. Tanner didn't care about Lupus originally, but came to over the course of their little league season.
