Differentiating Congestive and Non-congestive Losses on TCP Endpoint
Packet loss in IP networks can be congestive due to IP interrupt queue overflow on the nodes, and non-congestive due to hardware failure, signal-fading or obstacles. Recognition of two types of losses can largely help TCP endpoints in making right decisions. In this paper we apply the Visualized IP-based Network Simulator (VINS) to characterize the key differences between congestive packet loss...
متن کاملDifferentiating infarction from myocarditis
Myocarditis can resemble an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), even an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Furthermore, when a coronary angiogram reveals no significant disease, differential diagnosis can be challenging. Endomyocardial biopsy is still the gold standard for the diagnosis of myocarditis; however, its invasive character and limited sensitivity restrict its generalized applicat...
متن کاملPeritoneal ultrafiltration for refractory fluid overload and ascites due to pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Pulmonary hypertension is a common finding in patients with advanced liver disease. Similarly, among patients with advanced pulmonary arterial hypertension, right heart failure leads to congestive hepatopathy. Diuretic resistant fluid overload in both advanced pulmonary hypertension and chronic liver disease is a demanding challenge for physicians. Venous congestion and ascites-induced increase...
متن کاملHypoxic hepatopathy: pathophysiology and prognosis.
BACKGROUND Dramatic transient elevation in serum concentrations of hepatic enzymes occurs in some patients following a hypo-perfusion state. This entity is variously termed "shock liver" or "ischemic hepatitis", since the pathogenesis is considered to be ischemia. However, hypotension or shock is not always present. METHODS We analyzed the medical records of 293 patients (322 episodes) who ha...
متن کاملDifferentiating social phobia from shyness.
To clarify the relationship between social phobia and shyness, this study examined the characteristics of highly shy persons with social phobia, highly shy persons without social phobia, and non-shy persons. Those with social phobia reported more symptomatology, more functional impairment, and a lower quality of life than those without social phobia. About one-third of the highly shy without so...
