Vital Signs

Herpes is a family of viruses that include cold sores, warts, and genital herpes.
HSV or Herpes Simplex Virus. There are many types and they cause a variety of conditions from genital herpes all the way to something as mild as cold sores.
the causative agent for herpes is the varicella zoster.

Factors that can affect vital signs include age, sex, stress, illness, medication, physical activity, hydration status, and environmental temperature. It is important to consider these factors when interpreting vital signs to ensure an accurate assessment of an individual's health status.

Bronchopneumonia itself is not contagious, as it is an infection of the lungs commonly caused by bacteria or viruses. However, the bacteria or viruses that cause bronchopneumonia can be contagious from person to person through respiratory droplets. It is important to practice good hygiene measures to prevent the spread of these infectious agents.

It is not. What happens is that when you burn a complex product like tobacco or indeed almost any substance, if there is nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon and oxygen present there is always the chance of producing something like HCN.

It has been proven if you over cook meat on a charcoal grill there is a chance that traces of carcinogens can be produced. So hydrogen cyanide is not present per se, but by burning in a restricted oxygen environemnt, HCN may be produced in minute traces.

Gene Simmons' long tongue is believed to be a natural trait rather than something he did to make it that way. He has mentioned in interviews that it's genetic and has been that way since he was a child.

I guess it really just depends on the woman. Each woman is different. Generally women will start cramping the day their period is due, that usually only lasts for a couple of hours. Like I said though, it just depends on the individual.

Rice is primarily a source of carbohydrates, but it also contains small amounts of vitamins such as niacin (vitamin B3) and thiamine (vitamin B1) in the outer layers of the grain. However, the processing of rice can remove some of these vitamins, which is why many rice products are often fortified with vitamins to increase their nutritional content.

Blowing out "haaa" feels warm because it involves the mouth producing warm air from the lungs. On the other hand, blowing out "phooo" feels cool because it involves the process of evaporation of saliva from the mouth, which cools the air as it exits.

One should have a standard certified temperature calibrator system before attempting to calibrate a temp. transmitter.

I believe you want to calibrate the temperature sensor connected to a transmitter and to an indicator. There are three things in all. Temp. sensor it could be RTD or TC. Temp transmitter which transmits the sensor input to the indicator on which one can read the temperature. All three can be calibrated separately or together. If together it can be called loop check.

Now to calibrate the transmitter know the range the transmitter and the output signal it is designed for. Say it is designed for 4-20 mAmp signal output and the range is 50'C to 200'C. It means the transmitter is supposed to give 4 ma output when it is measuring 50 'C and 20 ma when it is measuring 200 'C and be liner through out the range. Connect the transmitter to standard 4-20 ma meter. connect the standard resistance equivalent of 50'C in steps of 50'C. Measure the map signal with each step of 50'C equivalent of resistance connected. with increase in step the mamp must increase correspondingly linearly upto 200'C on the meter. Repeat the same in decreasing order in steps from 200'c to 50'C and measure the mamp. Adjust the potentiometer if any on the transmitter in case of deviation. Let the transmitter be with in its defined permissible error range while adjusting the transmitter

The most common cause of airway obstruction in any patient - supine or not - is the tongue. This is why the first maneuver that should be performed on a patient not breathing is the head-tilt/chin-lift or the jaw thrust. This is to help clear the tongue from the airway and may allow the person to breathe again.

Plasma, in blood, is 90% water, and the rest is stuff like glucose, dissolved proteins, mineral ions, carbon dioxide, hormones and clotting factors. This is the type of plasma which is in blood, not the sort that you find in plasma TV'sor the ionised gas called plasma.

If you are asking what triage means it is the method used by emergency medical staff both out in the field (EMT) as well as in ED in hospital. It is how patients are are graded regarding the severity of their condition, from something very minor and non-life threatening through to something very serious and life-threatening. EMT's in assessing casualties also grade patients who are unlikely to survive inspite of medical intervention and of course those who are already dead. It is meant to ensure that the patients who need intervention the most get it first, more minor things can wait.

I have been having the same thing, and have searched and searched. Finally I found something besides the usual IBS that makes sense for all of our symptoms. =D Hope it helps!

What are endometriosis symptoms?

Most women who have endometriosis, in fact, do not have symptoms. Of those who do experience symptoms, the common symptoms are pain (usually pelvic) and infertility. Pelvic pain usually occurs during or just before menstruation and lessens after menstruation. Some women experience pain or cramping with intercourse, bowel movements and/or urination. Even pelvic examination by a doctor can be painful. The pain intensity can change from month to month, and vary greatly among women. Some women experience progressive worsening of symptoms, while others can have resolution of pain without treatment.

Pelvic pain in women with endometriosis depends partly on where the implants of endometriosis are located. Deeper implants and implants in areas with many pain-sensing nerves may be more likely to produce pain. The implants may produce substances that circulate in the bloodstream and cause pain. Lastly, pain can result when endometriosis implants form scars. There is no relationship between severity of pain and how widespread the endometriosis is (the "stage" of endometriosis).

Endometriosis can be one of the reasons for infertility in otherwise healthy couples. When laparoscopic examinations are performed for infertility evaluations, endometrial implants can be found in some of these patients, many of whom may not have painful symptoms of endometriosis. The reasons for a decrease in fertility are not completely understood, but might be due to both anatomic and hormonal factors. The presence of endometriosis may involve masses of tissue or scarring (adhesions) within the pelvis that may distort normal anatomical structures, such as Fallopian tubes, which transport the eggs from the ovaries. Alternatively, endometriosis may affect fertility through the production of hormones and other substances that have a negative effect on ovulation, fertilization of the egg, and/or implantation of the embryo.

Other symptoms related to endometriosis include lower abdominal pain, diarrhea and/or constipation, low back pain, irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding, or even blood in the urine. Rare symptoms of endometriosis include chest pain or coughing blood due to endometriosis in the lungs, headache and/or seizures due to endometriosis in the brain.

It could be due to underlying vision problems such as a lazy eye or uncorrected refractive errors like nearsightedness or farsightedness. Crossed eyes can also be caused by muscle imbalances or certain medical conditions. It's best to consult with an eye care professional for a proper evaluation and treatment.

Shear describes a force when layers are being shifted across each other. As an example, imagine rubbing your palms against each other. Shearing forces on the skin become more important as we age, because change in our skin structure make it easier for the skin layers to separate from one another.

If this is a consistent occurrence, then its time to see an Ophthalmologist. Do this immediately, your I sight is to important for you to procrastinate getting help. Don't panic, just do it, and do it now.

As your temperature goes up, so will your heart rate. Your blood pressure may go up, at first, but will eventually go down, in response to your rapid heart rate. As your blood pressure drops (it may go very low, esp. if you experience shaking chills), your respiratory rate will go up in an attempt to oxygenate all of your body's cells.

The average height of an adult male in China is around 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm), while the average height of an adult female is around 5 feet 3 inches (160 cm). These averages can vary slightly depending on region and other factors.

The two pulse points are the radial pulse, located on the wrist at the radial artery, and the carotid pulse, located in the neck at the carotid artery.

I am not too sure about Resveratrol extracted from different types of grapes; I know that they are the best when they come from red grapes. When it comes to anti aging, Resveratrol supplements are an ideal remedy to combat age related diseases. I do know that Resveratrol supplements are up to 500 times more effective than grapes in yielding anti-aging results.

an object can become lodged in it (as is the case in choking). or an allergic reaction called anaphylaxis can occur to a variety of substances (legal or illegal drugs, foods, dyes, plants, etc.) and the person's airway becomes inflammed, swelling to the point that air cannot pass through and the person's airway is then obstructed.

Infants have increased respiratory rates compared to adults because their lungs are smaller and less efficient at exchanging oxygen, requiring more frequent breaths to meet their metabolic needs. Additionally, infants have underdeveloped respiratory control centers in the brain, leading to a faster respiratory rate to maintain proper oxygen levels.

The illness experience is described and analyzed according to the following five stages demarcating critical transition and decision-making points in medical care and behavior; (1) symptom-experience; (2) assumption of the sick role; (3) medical care contact; (4) dependent-patient role; (5) recovery or rehabilitation. Each stage is found to present new problems and to require different kinds of decisions and medical actions. The data support the general proposition that the behavior of the sick individual is dictated by both social and medical considerations. In most cases, the pathways and routines established by the formal medical system appear to function quite smoothly.
