A general examination of the respiratory system

Image
  A general examination of the respiratory system involves a systematic assessment of the various components involved in breathing and oxygen exchange. Here's an overview of the key elements typically evaluated during a respiratory examination: 1. Patient History: Begin by gathering relevant information about the patient's medical history, including any respiratory conditions, allergies, exposure to environmental toxins, smoking history, and previous surgeries or treatments. 2. Observation: Observe the patient for signs of respiratory distress, such as abnormal breathing patterns, use of accessory muscles, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin or lips), and the presence of a persistent cough. 3. Vital Signs: Measure the patient's vital signs, including respiratory rate (number of breaths per minute), heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature. Abnormalities in these measurements may indicate respiratory compromise. 4. Inspection: Examine the patient's face, neck, ...

Causes of tachycardia, Tachycardia Causes

Image
Tachycardia refers to a rapid heart rate, typically defined as a heart rate above 100 beats per minute in adults. There are several potential causes of tachycardia, which can be broadly classified into two categories: physiological (normal) and pathological (abnormal) causes. Here are some common causes: Physiological causes: Physical activity or exercise: During physical exertion, the heart rate increases to meet the body's increased oxygen demands. Emotional or psychological stress: Strong emotions, anxiety, fear, or stress can trigger a temporary increase in heart rate. Fever: Elevated body temperature associated with fever can lead to an increased heart rate. Stimulant use: Consumption of substances like caffeine, nicotine, certain medications (e.g., decongestants), or illicit drugs (e.g., cocaine, amphetamines) can cause tachycardia. Pathological causes: Heart-related conditions: Various heart disorders can cause tachycardia, such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, suprav...

drug resistance

Image
Drug resistance refers to the ability of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites to resist the effects of drugs that were previously effective in treating infections caused by these microorganisms. Over time, the frequent use of antibiotics or antiviral drugs can result in the development of drug-resistant strains of these microorganisms. As a result, the drugs that once effectively treated infections caused by these microorganisms can become ineffective. This can lead to longer and more severe infections, the spread of disease to others, and higher healthcare costs. Drug resistance is a growing global problem and is considered one of the most pressing public health challenges of our time. Addressing drug resistance requires a coordinated and global approach, including appropriate use of antibiotics, increased investment in research and development of new drugs, and improved infection prevention and control practices.

the way Corona is spreading.

Image
Corona is mostly spreading by droplets. But now the Covid virus changes its strain continuously and changes its behavior. Now it can spread in many ways. We will try to describe Some of them below. By Droplet (distance) Symptoms of asymptomatic covid can be transmitted through infected droplets. Symptoms may appear up to 2 weeks after infection. In those days it was possible to infect many more through Droplet. Things to do. Even if no one has symptoms, stay in front of him wearing a mask. By Aerosol (air) The virus can multiply in the infected body. And it can infect others as well. The virus can be transmitted through the air from the salivary glands during talking, singing, sneezing, or coughing. Things to do. Stay at home following the covid-rules. Keep the windows and doors of the house open. By Objects (touch) Droplets from an infected body can fall on any object and survive for a long time. If someone touches this object and does not wash their hands with soap and puts it on the...
