Product Description
Vasovagal syncope ("the common faint") and near syncope from initial orthostatic hypotension are huge medical problems given the number of patients and their impact on quality of life. The treatment options are often unsatisfactory. The studies in this thesis set out to investigate the potential benefits of physical counter-manoeuvres in the acute management of vasovagal syncope and initial orthostatic hypotension. Once shown to be effective, further studies elucidated how they work. ... Read more

Product Description
Tilt table testing has been used for more than 50 years to study the body's responses to various stimuli, but only recently has it become the "gold standard" for evaluation of symptoms of syncope. In this article, the authors discuss the expert consensus statement recently issued by the American College of Cardiology on when and how to evaluate patients with the technique. They also provide basic background information on syncope and summarize current understanding of neurocardiogenic (or vasovagal) syncope, which is one common type. ... Read more

Product Description
Syncope has many causes. Although the most common ones are generally benign and do not require extensive evaluation, cardiac syncope has high rates of recurrence and death. In this article, Dr Hauer describes how physical examination and electrocardiographic findings can guide further evaluation to provide the largest diagnostic yield at the lowest cost. ... Read more

Le livre consiste d'articles Wikipedia sur : Malaise Vagal, Syncope, Lipothymie, Palpitation, Orthopnée, Platypnée. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Le malaise vagal, aussi appelé lipothymie vagale, choc vagal ou syncope vaso-vagale ou vagale s'il y a perte de connaissance, est un malaise dû à une activité excessive du système nerveux parasympathique via la X paire de nerfs craniens appelée nerf vague. Ce malaise est la traduction d'un ralentissement du rythme cardiaque ou bradycardie associé à une chute de tension artérielle, aboutissant à une hypoperfusion cérébrale. La première description date de 1907 par Gowers. Il s'agit de la cause la plus fréquente des pertes de conscience, responsable de près des 2/3 de ces dernières (appelé anciennement flavinite). Normalement, le système vagal (système nerveux parasympathique) possède la capacité de ralentir le rythme cardiaque. De son côté, le système nerveux sympathique accélère le rythme cardiaque. En cas de rupture d'équilibre entre les deux systèmes, avec hypertonie vagale, une syncope est susceptible de survenir. Celle-ci se voit plus fréquemment chez un individu jeune en surpoids ou une personne âgée présentant une certaine anxiété, ou à la suite d'émotions ou d'un événement intense ou quelquefois de douleurs violentes. Il survient souvent chez le sujet jeune et en bonne santé. Certains facteurs favorisent le malaise vagal : la station debout prolongée, une atmosphère chaude ou confinée, après un repas ou une émotion, une réaction phobique (claustrophobie par exemple), une douleur violente ou à la vue du sang, d'une aiguille, etc. La fatigue physique (liée au manque de sommeil), l'hypoglycémie, l'effort physique soudain, sont également des facteurs déclencheurs.

Medicines may cause dizziness, or problems with your ear. Motion sickness can also make you dizzy.

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Syncope (pronounced /?s??k?pi/) is the medical term for fainting, a sudden, usually temporary, loss of consciousness generally caused by insufficient oxygen in the brain either through cerebral hypoxia or through hypotension, but possibly for other reasons. Typical symptoms progress through dizziness, clamminess of the skin, a dimming of vision or brownout, possibly tinnitus, complete loss of vision, weakness of limbs to physical collapse. These symptoms falling short of complete collapse, or a fall down, may be referred to as a syncoptic episode. Syncope due to hypoxia will normally occur if the air breathed contains less than 16% oxygen at atmospheric pressure. Less than 11% oxygen in the air at this pressure can lead to death by suffocation. However, the amount of oxygen in the air is dependent on the partial pressure of oxygen, meaning that, if a person inhales pressurized gas, e.g., while scuba diving, a breathing gas containing less than 16% oxygen can still contain enough to prevent hypoxia. ...

Chapters: Hallucination, Dysgeusia, Auditory Hallucination, Syncope, Vasovagal Episode, Amnesia, Vertigo, Parosmia, Somnolence, Dizziness, Stupor, Parageusia. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 81. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Dysgeusia (pronounced ) is the distortion of the sense of taste. Dysgeusia is also often associated with ageusia, which is the complete lack of taste, and hypogeusia, which is the decrease in taste sensitivity. An alteration in taste or smell may be a secondary process in various disease states, or it may be the primary symptom. The distortion in the sense of taste is the only symptom, and diagnosis is usually complicated since the sense of taste is tied together with other sensory systems. Common causes of dysgeusia include chemotheraphy and zinc deficiency. Different drugs could also be responsible for altering taste and resulting in dysgeusia. Due to the variety of causes of dysgeusia, there are many possible treatments that are effective in alleviating or terminating the symptoms of dysgeusia. These include artificial saliva, pilocarpine, zinc supplementation, alterations in drug therapy, and alpha lipoic acid. Taste Receptors of the Tongue.The sense of taste is based on the detection of chemicals by specialized taste cells in the mouth. The mouth, throat, larynx, and esophagus all have taste buds, which are replaced every ten days. Each taste bud contains receptor cells. Afferent nerves make contact with the receptor cells at the base of the taste bud. A single taste bud is innervated by several afferent nerves, while a single efferent fiber innervates several taste buds. Fungiform papillae are present on the anterior portion of the tongue while circumvallate papillae and foliate papillae are found on the posterior portion of the tongue.
