A 60-year-old woman with a history of hypertension, diabetes and renal disease presented to the hospital complaining of diffuse weakness for 24 hours. On examination, vital signs showed a normal temperature, pulse 100 beats/min, respiratory rate 25 breaths/min, pulse oximetry 97%, blood pressur...
There’s a myth that you can predict your child’s sex by listening to its heartbeat in the womb. The notion is that male and female fetuses have different heart rates. Female fetuses, themyth holds, have heart rates of 140 bpm or higher, while male fetuses’ have heart rates below 14...

The following psychoacoustic measurements were taken: (1) Hearing thresholds by the 2-pulse method were measured at 14 frequencies (0.25–16 kHz) using a two-channel Ziptom clinical audiometer (Sancout) with Sennheiser HDA200 earphones (Wedemark). (2) Loudness discomfort levels (LDL, a ...
Background: While mitral (MV) and tricuspid valve (TV) pulsed Doppler velocities and derived gradients are commonly evaluated, data on normal pediatric values are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the normal values and physiological variability for M
(SpO2) which can be a sign of COVID-19 as well as other respiratory issues, but you can buy your own pulse oximeter like theZacurate 500BLfor as little as $15. The Apple Watch Series 6 can alsomeasure SpO2. The Fitbit Sense measures oxygen levels, pulse rate and respiration rate ...
Myelin, critical for the correct function of the nervous system, is organized in different patterns that can include long non-myelinated axonal segments. How myelin patterning is regulated remains unexplained. The carbohydrate-binding protein galectin-4
(Polar H1, Polar Electro; Kempele, Finland) were fitted to each schoolchildren’s chest, level with xiphoid process and underneath exercise attire. Resting heart rate as well as changes in heart rate during exercise and 1.5 min after the test concluded (i.e., the recovery pulse) were ...
A single-center randomized, controlled cross-over exercise intervention in 20 women willing to reduce weight (20–40 y, BMI: 27.4 ± 2.1), with the aim to examine potential benefits for weight loss under normal (N-Ox: 20.9%) and mildly reduced (R-Ox: 17.
