skin color, temperature, sensation, and motor function. Pain and edema are also assessed during this examination. Comparison of assessment findings bilaterally is extremely important. Even subtle changes can have significant implications.

airway obstruction (measured by FEV1), dyspnea (measured by the MMRC dyspnea scale), and exercise tolerance (measured by a 6-minute walk). The BODE Index can assess a COPD patient’s life expectancy.
Bone marrow edema on T1 typically appears as an increased, white signal, while fractures are suspected with the appearance of larger dark lines through the bone. Next, we will look at the articular cartilage of the tibiofemoral joint. We should assess the thickness and intensity of their ...

Vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiencies cause high homocysteine levels, which have been associated with increased atherosclerosis, stroke, arterial clots, and venous ...
An increase in indexed EVLW by more than 14% during SBT was able to diagnose weaning- induced pulmonary edema with a sensitivity of 67% and a specificity of 100%. However, transpulmonary thermodi- lution devices are not widely applied during a weaning process, unless they had been previously...
