A study of the relation between physical signs and the clinical and physiological pattern of chronic lung disease with obstruction has been carried out on 24 patients with varying degrees of airways obstruction. One sign (the forced expiratory time) was a direct reflection of the obstruction , but a number of other signs which also correlated significantly with the specific airway conductance w...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common cause of disability and a leading cause of admissions to hospital because of exacerbations of the condition. Early intervention with antibiotics and steroids can prevent admissions, but it can be difficult for patients to recognize the early signs of exacerbation and to access timely clinical care. One solution to these barriers to early ...

Patients can experience unexpected deterioration in their physiological condition that can lead to critical illness, cardiac arrest, admission to the intensive care unit and death. While ward staff can identify deterioration through monitoring physiological signs, these signs can be missed, interpreted incorrectly or mismanaged. Rapid response systems using early warning scores can fail if staf...

Neurological signs have been described as “false localising” if they reflect dysfunction distant or remote from the expected anatomical locus of pathology, hence challenging the traditional clinicoanatomical correlation paradigm on which neurological examination is based. False localising signs occur in two major contexts: as a consequence of raised intracranial pressure, and with spinal cord l...

There are observable physiological abnormalities prior to adverse events such as cardiac arrest, unanticipated admissions to intensive care and unexpected death (1-5). Abnormalities in vital signs such as blood pressure, respiratory rate, pulse and oxygen saturation are common prior to the occurrence of these serious adverse events. This relationship between changes in physiological measures an...

Various physiological parameters including level of sex steroids undergo alterations following chronic administration of morphine. In this study, the effect of chronic administration of morphine on phasic and tonic pain was studied in morphine-dependent male and female rats in the presence and absence of gonads using formalin test. In addition, for evaluation of differences in dependency, withd...

The relationship between amphibian immune function and disease susceptibility is of primary concern given current worldwide declines linked to the pathogenic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). We experimentally infected lowland leopard frogs (Lithobates yavapaiensis) with Bd to test the hypothesis that infection causes physiological stress and stimulates humoral and cell-mediated immun...

Exposure to environmental stressors exert debilitating effects on the health of employees. Workforce in Egypt does not receive -in most casessuitable preventive measures to face such a problem. Moreover, they lack the awareness of early signs and symptoms of stress. The aim of the present work was to investigate the interrelationship between work stress in terms of physiological and psychologic...

Recently, remote healthcare systems have received increasing attention in the last decade, explaining why intelligent systems with physiology signal monitoring for e-health care are an emerging area of development. Therefore, this study adopts a system which includes continuous collection and evaluation of multiple vital signs, long-term healthcare, and a cellular connection to a medical center...
