Effort Syndrome

The Effort Syndrome

THE effort syndrome has been defined by Grant (1936) as "that condition of ill-health in which symptoms and signs produced in normal subjects by excessive exercise are called forth in the patients by lesser amounts and in which no definite physical signs of structural disease are anywhere discovered." More briefly it may be described as a depressed capacity for exertion without distress in the ...

Observations on glaucomatocyclitic crises (Posner-Schlossman syndrome).

THE s'yndrome of glaucomatocycitic crises occupies a unique and important position among the many and heterogeneous types of glaucoma associated with uveitis. Its ominous onset, often highlighted by very high tension, is belied by the benign course it follows if treated with discretion. If the ophthalmologist is aware of this condition, he will be spared needless worry, and, more important, the...

Empirical Observations on COTS Software Integration Effort Based on the Initial COCOTS Calibration Database

As the use of commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) components becomes ever more prevalent in the creation of large software systems, the need for the ability to reasonably predict the true lifetime cost of using such software components grows accordingly. This paper presents empirically-based findings about the effort associated with activities found to be significant in the development of systems us...

Histopathological Observations on Pigs with Porcine Dermatitis and Nephropathy Syndrome

Porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS) is broadly discussed as a porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2)-associated disease, although PCV2, in contrast to postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), has to date not been proven to be the aetiologic agent. The clinical signs, gross post-mortem and histopathological changes observed in affected pigs, were similar to those previously de...
