wolff white syndrome :: Article Creator Stopping The Bias Snowball, Before It Kills Your Patient I arrived on scene perhaps ten minutes behind the first-in crew and the shift supervisor. Both the crew paramedic and the supervisor were knowledgeable, experienced providers. A school nurse was there as well, providing background info on our patient; a 16-year-old student with a history of asthma in severe distress. Our patient was in bad shape. She had severe difficulty breathing, tachycardia, was pale and diaphoretic, and you could hear the wheezes and rhonchi from 10 feet away. Her eyes had that unfocused, half-lidded stare that signals impending loss of consciousness and respiratory arrest. No doubt about it, she was sick and getting worse. She hadn't responded to multiple doses of her Combivent inhaler, and the lead medic – one our our flight paramedics who was covering a shift on a ground unit that day – already had a DuoNeb in place on a ...

coronary artery disease :: Article Creator Coronary Artery Disease Testing After Initial Heart Failure Hospitalization Aids Outcomes Coronary artery disease (CAD) testing within 90 days of hospitalization for heart failure is associated with a lower risk for heart failure readmission or all-cause mortality, according to a study published online Jan. 18 in the Journal of General Internal Medicine. Cheng‑Wei Huang, M.D., from Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center, and colleagues assessed whether widespread CAD testing in patients with new-onset heart failure leads to improved outcomes. The analysis included 2,729 adults with new-onset heart failure with reduced ejection fraction hospitalized within one of 15 Kaiser Permanente Southern California medical centers between 2016 and 2021. The researchers found that 54.5 percent of patients received CAD testing, and after a median of 1.8 years, the testing group had a reduced risk for heart f...

sfa stenosis :: Article Creator Spinal Stenosis: Causes And Symptoms Spinal stenosis is a condition in which open spaces within your spine get narrower. This puts pressure on your spinal cord and the nerves around it, which can cause pain and other problems. Your spinal cord is a key part of your central nervous system that connects your brain to your body. It rests in the spinal canal, which is formed by the hollow spaces in the center of each vertebra, the interconnected bones that make up your spine. The narrowing can happen in the spinal canal, in the spaces between your vertebrae, or at points where nerves from your spine branch out to other parts of your body. As these spaces get smaller, the tightness can pinch the spinal cord or the nerves around it, causing pain, tingling, or numbness in your legs, arms, or torso. Injuries and conditions such as arthritis can lead to spinal stenosis. It's most common in people over 50. There...
