What are paradoxical pulses? By common consent, the term paradoxical pulse, or "pulsus paradoxus," is considered to refer toa phenomenon in which the peripheral pulse is markedly diminished, or even abolished, during ordinary or quiet inspiration; it promptly reappears during expiration. Where is ...
Absent peripheral pulses may be indicative ofperipheral vascular disease (PVD). PVD may be caused by atherosclerosis, which can be complicated by an occluding thrombus or embolus. This may be life-threatening and may cause the loss of a limb. Why do doctors check the pulse in your feet? You...
corticosteroids, vasodilators, gabapentin, and alpha- or beta-adrenergic-blocking compounds. Elevation of the extremity and physical therapy are also used to treat CRPS. Injection of a local anesthetic, such as lidocaine, is usually the first step in treatment. Injections are repeated as needed. T...

The result is expressed as the kappa (κ) coefficient, which is derived from the difference between the observed agreement compared to the agreement expected by chance alone [20]. There are no strict benchmarks for interpreting κ values, a value of 0 usually indicating agreement equivalent to...
76% of teams did not evaluate the safety. Vital signs were neglected in 62% for consciousness, 31% – for airway and breathing, and 59% – for central and peripheral pulses. C-spine protection was neglected in 90%. Head was not examined in 69%, neck – 93%, chest – 66%, abdomen...
24 months. The proportion of patients who were free of medication was also higher in the combined group (73% vs 38%,P= .0008).2Adverse events were similar in both groups except for the formation of peripheral anterior synechiae, which was the only noted adverse event related to the device...

1.A method of blackening a surface, comprising:applying laser radiation to the surface to produce a periodic arrangement of structures on the surface, whereinthe laser radiation comprises pulsed laser radiation comprising a series of laser pulses and the power density of the pulses is in a range...
a peripheral bus, an accelerated graphics port, and a processor or local bus using any of a variety of bus architectures. By way of example, and not limitation, such architectures include Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus, Micro Channel Architecture (MCA) bus, Enhanced ISA (EISA) bus,...
