corporal punishment- the infliction of physical injury on someone convicted of committing a crime 2.electric shock- trauma caused by the passage of electric current through the body (as from contact with high voltage lines or being struck by lightning); usually involves burns and abnormal heart rh...
Clinical characteristics include initial chills and fever, warm flushed skin, increased cardiac output, and a lesser degree of hypotension than with hypovolemic shock; if therapy is ineffective, it may progress to the clinical picture associated with hypovolemic shock. shell shock old term for ...
In conclusion, MSC EVs could be a potential cell-free therapy targeting endotheliopathy after HS/T via preservation of the vascular endothelial barrier in multiple organs early after injury. Further research is needed to better understand the immunomodulatory effects of these products following HS/T ...
Joint capsule fibrosis, a common complication of joint immobilization, is mainly characterized by abnormal collagen deposition. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on reduced collagen deposition in the joint capsule during immobilization-induced join...
A shock wave is defined as a large disturbance in a compressible medium that propagates supersonically as abrupt changes in the state of the medium. It can be generated by various natural and artificial phenomena, such as explosions, supersonic aircraft, and reentry vehicles, and can have dest...
[2] However, although urgent management is indicated for hemodynamically stable patients without evidence of acute organ failure, delay of invasive procedures for as long as 24 hours may be possible if the patient receives very close clinical monitoring and appropriate antimicrobial therapy.[2] ...
Transcription of heat shock protein (hsp) genes, which are intimately involved in this phenomenon, is mediated by the heat shock element (HSE) found in the 5′ upstream regions of these genes and interacts with a transcription activating protein known as heat shock factor (HSF). HSF preexists...
Cardiogenic shock (CS), characterized by severely diminished cardiac output, is a relatively rare but typically fatal condition associated with high global mortality [1]. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) continues to be the leading cause regarding CS, and CS occurs in 3–13% of cases following ...
Sepsis results from a dyshomeostatic response to infection, which may lead to hyper or hypoimmune states. Monocytes are central regulators of the inflammatory response, but our understanding of their role in the genesis and resolution of sepsis is still limited. Here, we report a comprehensive exp...
Shock waves have many applications in medicine today. Originally used only to break up kidney stones, they are now used in orthopaedic pain therapy or to treat patients with Alzheimer's disease, among other things. To understand this amazing range of applications, it is worth taking a look at...
