Vital Signs

Well, honey, when you're locking lips with someone, your brain gets all hot and bothered, releasing a cocktail of hormones that can make your eyes roll back in pleasure. It's like a mini vacation for your peepers, enjoying the moment without a care in the world. So, next time your eyes decide to do their own thing while smooching, just blame it on the love hormones doing their funky dance.

Not really. In terms of physics: yes, you are adding heat to a set of molecules, therefor it will get warmer. But you are not a closed system: you lose a lot of heat from evaporation and IR radiation. The heating pad will warm up a specific area of skin and muscle, but will not raise your core temperature unless you are under a lot of blankets (in which case your own trapped body-heat will also raise it), and even then, your body will work hard to prevent it from raising it very much.

I'm a med. nurse in a subacute unit and I make $23.50/hr. I have 5 years+ experience, most of my co-workers make about the same give or take a $1.

A pulse beat shows that the heart is still working, pumping blood through the circulatory system.

Air pressure is caused by the weight of air molecules pressing down on a surface due to gravity. The pressure decreases with increasing altitude as the column of air above decreases. Temperature, altitude, and weather patterns can also affect air pressure.

A palpable pulse refers to being able to feel the rhythmic expansion and contraction of an artery as blood is pumped through it by the heart. It is commonly felt at various points on the body, such as the wrist or neck, and is used to assess the heart rate and rhythm.

Smooth muscles control many important bodily functions, including the movement of food through the digestive system, constriction and dilation of blood vessels, and regulation of airflow in the respiratory system. They also control the narrowing and widening of the pupils in the eyes and help with the function of various organs such as the bladder and reproductive tract.

your swan ganz catheter is more inside than that required for wedge position, therefore after inflation of the balloon ,the balloon may come in the way of tip of the catheter and it will not show the tracing of the catheter.

Herpes Simplex Virus travels through tiny breaks in the skin or mucous membranes in the mouth or genital areas. Even microscopic abrasions on mucous membranes are sufficient to allow viral entry.

Yes, during a fever the body often increases its respiratory rate in an effort to cool down. This increased respiratory rate helps to release heat from the body and maintain a normal core temperature.

* Eye freckles are areas of the eye where the overlaying "skin" is thin enough that it becomes transparent. The freckles or spots that are visable are usually gray and are actually inside the eyeball.

The pulse rate is typically lower in the morning because during sleep, the body's metabolic rate and physical activity decrease. This can result in a slower heart rate. Additionally, the body's natural circadian rhythm can also play a role in lowering the pulse rate in the morning.

CO2 exhalation can be used as a measure of respiratory rate in humans because as we breathe out, we release CO2 which is a byproduct of cellular metabolism. This exchange of gases reflects the rate at which our body is producing and releasing CO2, which is directly related to our respiratory rate. By measuring the level of CO2 exhaled, we can determine how effectively our respiratory system is working.

Infants have smaller lungs, and although they also have smaller bodies, the smaller lungs must work faster to exchange the amount of gasses, i.e. O2 and CO2, the same way their hearts beat faster than an adult's to pump the amount of blood they need because of it's small size.

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
