TY - JOUR. T1 - Chronic failure in the maintenance of long-term potentiation following fluid percussion injury in the rat. AU - Sanders, Matthew J.. AU - Sick, Thomas J.. AU - Perez-Pinzon, Miguel A.. AU - Dietrich, W. Dalton. AU - Green, Edward J.. PY - 2000/4/7. Y1 - 2000/4/7. N2 - Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can produce chronic cognitive learning/memory deficits that are thought to be mediated, in part, by impaired hippocampal function. Experimentally induced TBI is associated with deficits in hippocampal synaptic plasticity (long-term potentiation, or LTP) at acute post-injury intervals but plasticity has not been examined at long- term survival periods. The present study was conducted to assess the temporal profile of LTP after injury and to evaluate the effects of injury severity on plasticity. Separate groups of rats were subjected to mild (1.1-1.4 atm), moderate (1.8-2.1 atm), or severe (2.2-2.7 atm) fluid percussion (FP) injury (or sham surgery) and processed for hippocampal ...

The first complete set of Xenakis works for percussion - all the solos and ensemble works, plus the three duos (with oboe, harpsichord and voice). Xenakis was one of the great composers for percussion, and these recordings are particularly good: massive, rich, nuanced and extremely well defined - with some deeply impressive low frequencies. Xenakis writing is complex the way rain falling on a roof is complex; or the statistical distribution of people in public places over time is complex; sheets of sound shift attention form point source to shifting masses and from articulation to timbre. Densities constantly change as focused and unfocused events slide in and out of attention. Unlike most percussion music, this work has more in common with an organism than a machine. And some of the sounds are breathtaking. But it is the large pieces that work best, Persephassa, for instance in a truly great and indispensable work, and this is the best recording of it I have heard. For those who know already ...

II.- Fuga, the central movement, is structured as a double fugue; it is original in its mark, as usually the fugue is dedicated to keyboard instruments. Unusually, in Badians fugue, the rigid concept of this well established polyphonic form combines different timbres from both determined and indeterminate pitch percussion instruments in order to develop its framework. This movement is also entirely modal and incantatory, with repetitions that make use of pivot sounds. The pitches of the entire chromatic scale are used ingenuously, to reinforce the polyphonic profile of this movement. The evolution of the rhythm provides an open window into my way of thinking, with basic rhythmic cells that generate a clear and precise pathway towards the subject of the fugue. These cells are gradually amplified to evolve into increasingly more complex ones, although their incantatory aspects are preserved throughout the entire movement. The timpani - a tuned percussion instrument symbolizing melody and carrying ...

May was International Drum Month and an apt time to launch a collaboration between the Local 4 (Cleveland, OH) Music Fund and the Percussion Marketing Council (PMC). The Rainey Institute in downtown Cleveland provided the connection and venue for hosting the first two performances of four special presentations funded in-part through the PMCs Percussion in the Schools program, supported by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Foundation and the Music Performance Trust Fund.. Both May performances were customized for audiences from Case Elementary School, covering grades K-5 and 6-8, while combining educational performances by a professional jazz trio with a featured vocalist. Musical examples and discussion touched on musical styles from opera to gospel, jazz, and even Civil War folk tunes. Rainey Institute instructor and vocalist and Local 4 member Pat Harris worked closely with Rainey Institute Executive Director Lee Lazar, Local 4 President Leonard DiCosimo, and Cleveland-based ...

A novel wireless optical technique for quantitative evaluation of cerebral perfusion pressure in a fluid percussion animal model of traumatic brain injury

And as soon as the first ringings of percussions are opening Ormen Lange we are besieged by an ethereal ambience where the lonely singings of a charming flute are floating along lines of synth which coil up in a sonic horizon to the colors of desert. The manual percussions and impulses full of restraints of a secret bass are shaping a rhythm which remains ambient, as a little bit all around Passengers. Particle Talk is a silky piece of music well sat on a pattern of tribal percussions with tints and hits as much effective than bewitching while the subjugated guitar of Morten Lund floats with fragments of ethereal airs. But nothing is molded in the ease with Green Isac. The very evasive melody and the African rhythm of Particle Talk are coated by heterogeneous noises which give a fascinating ectoplasmic approach to the track. I like and it is melting quite well in the ears. The guitar which opens Commandante reminds me of a U2 mislaid in mists of ether. The riffs flow like lost chords ...

article{f476d972-e2ea-40d9-834f-c3cd9805e8a7, abstract = {,p,Changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and glucose metabolism are commonly associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated as key contributors to the secondary injury process after TBI. Here, pretreatment with the nitrone radical scavengers (alpha-phenyl-N-tert-butyl nitrone (PBN) or its sulfonated analogue sodium 2-sulfophenyl-N-tert-butyl nitrone (S-PBN) were used as tools to study the effects of ROS on rCBF and glucose metabolism after moderate (2.4-2.6 atm) lateral fluid percussion injury (FPI) in rats. S-PBN has a half-life in plasma of 9 min and does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In contrast, PBN has a half-life of 3 h and readily penetrates the BBB. Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and glucose metabolism was estimated by using (99m)Tc-HMPAO and [(18)F]Fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) autoradiography, respectively, at 42 min (n = 37) and 12 h (n = 34) after the ...

Small Mixers Give Good Sound Quality. Keep the mixer close to adjust the master volume fader quickly. Most bands and DJs tend to get louder as the evening progresses destroying the original percussion balance. A master fader handles that balance problem making everything louder or softer. Dont let anyone move that fader. DJs usually do not have a feel for a musicians balance ending with ear-splitting decibels having the drums tuned out. Without a soundman, someone has to make balance decisions.. The EQ is control of different frequencies. The thump of a nightclub (very low end 80hz) is not the upper range of trumpets (2000k). I usually trim my very low frequencies up 4 or 5 decibels the, 80Hz up 5 to 7 decibels and vocals (1000 to 2000hz) up same. The very high end doesnt make much difference in EQ. You want low notes (bass drum/bass guitar) to have a bit of width with a rich decay (a bit longer to release). A mild low thump gives noticeable presence. Smaller mixers do not have an EQ ...

Traditional guiros are made with gourds, wood, or horn. Modern ones can also be made of fiberglass and plastic. Although I like the sound which they make, the best part of the guiro tends to be its fanciful appearance. The instrument can be a big utilitarian cylinder, however for aesthetic reasons, it is often made in a fanciful animal shape-particularly that of a colorful fish. During music class in first grade, the teacher would sometimes dump out a huge box of simple percussion instruments-chimes, bells, triangles, castanets, maracas, tambourines, rattles, and clackers of all sorts-and we would each choose one and all play together to make a terrible cacophonous din (maybe the music teacher was trying to scare evil spirits away from Falmouth). Anyway there was always a fight for the magnificent fish guiro-which was then always allocated by the teacher to a student who was not me.. ...

I would estimate from the time I started in 1988 to when I left in 1995, the orchestra had acquired about $500,000 worth of equipment. I very strongly felt from the very beginning that it was necessary to create an inventory environment for percussionists at NWS that was professional, and the very best quality that could be achieved. My reasoning was simply that young players coming out of, often poorly equipped, conservatories to NWS should be able to experience being in a section of not only great players, but also the very best and most complete instrument inventory possible. My long-term hope was that they would take that experience to their final jobs and raise the level of awareness and interest in percussion, and not simply accept being in a situation that was unprofessional or inadequate. Fortunately, largely because of the support from former NWS President Jeff Babcock and MTT in those early years, we were able to acquire a fantastic collection of instruments that very few orchestras ...

It is clear that even mild forms of traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have lasting cognitive effects; however, the specific cellular changes responsible for the functional deficits remain poorly understood. Previous studies suggest that not all neurons respond in the same way and that changes to neuronal architecture may be subtype specific. The current study aimed to characterize the response of interneurons to TBI. To model TBI in vitro, the neurites of primary cortical neurons were transected at 15 days in vitro. In response, calretinin+ interneurons underwent significant neurite remodeling around the injury site. By examining the response of pyramidal neurons, GAD67-GFP+ interneurons, and calretinin+ interneurons to the injury, we found that this response was specific to the calretinin+ cells. To determine whether calretinin+ interneurons respond in this way to a clinically relevant in vivo model of mild diffuse and focal injury, we subjected mice to the lateral fluid percussion injury model.

What kinds of percussion instruments should we use? Start with just a few, and use instruments of as high a quality as you can. Percussion instruments are not toys, and cheap instruments will not add to the quality (or the sincerity) of worship. On the other hand, wonderful instruments can be made with inexpensive materials.. Think of the kinds of sounds the instruments make: high, medium, and low sounds; hard, crisp sounds or soft, swishy sounds; rattling, wooden sounds; ringing or metallic sounds. Good percussion combines and contrasts different sounds to support the pulse of the music, the shape of the hymn, and the emotions expressed by the singing congregation.. High, crisp sounds produced by snare drums, tambourines, or claves (those round, wooden, dowel-shaped sticks) cut through all other sounds; they tend to dominate and set the tempo in the same way that hand claps do, and for the same reason.. Soft, swishy sounds, like small maracas or rhythm eggs, fill in the middle of the sound ...

Chest physiotherapy (CPT) is the treatments generally performed by physical therapists and respiratory therapists, whereby breathing is improved by the indirect removal of mucus from the breathing passages of a patient. Other terms, used in Australia, include respiratory or cardiothoracic physiotherapy. Techniques include clapping or percussion: the therapist lightly claps the patients chest, back, and area under the arms. Percussion, while effective in the treatment of infants and children, is no longer used in Australia in adults due to the introduction of more effective and self-management focused treatments. These include, but are not limited to, the use of flutter or oscillating positive pressure devices, PEP masks or devices (positive expiratory pressure) as well as specific exercise regimes. The exercises prescribed can include specific respiratory exercises e.g. autogenic drainage, as well as general cardiovascular exercises that assist the body to remove sputum and improve the ...

Background: Little is known about using the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in physical diagnosis courses. The purpose of this study was to describe student performance on an OSCE in a physical diagnosis course. Methods: Cross-sectional study at Harvard Medical School, 1997-1999, for 489 second-year students. Results: Average total OSCE score was 57% (range 39-75%). Among clinical skills, students scored highest on patient interaction (72%), followed by examination technique (65%), abnormality identification (62%), history-taking (60%), patient presentation (60%), physical examination knowledge (47%), and differential diagnosis (40%) (p , .0001). Among 16 OSCE stations, scores ranged from 70% for arthritis to 29% for calf pain (p , .0001). Teaching sites accounted for larger adjusted differences in station scores, up to 28%, than in skill scores (9%) (p , .0001). Conclusions: Students scored higher on interpersonal and technical skills than on interpretive or integrative skills. ...

Iraqi-American trumpeter, santur player, vocalist, and composer Amir ElSaffars Rivers of Sound Orchestra is a seventeen member improvising big band that weds music of the Middle East to jazz with excellent results. This generous double album shows the band tearing down cultural divides and creating a unique hybrid, beginning with Iftitah which has a slow droning opening, creating music that is patient and low in tone. Stringed instruments and piano enter and develop an exotic sound. Horns build in like a heraldic announcement, with the brass becoming loud and powerful and accompanied by a piano flourish. The music is episodic in nature with the sound flowing naturally, leading to brash waves of horns accompanied by insistent bass and percussion. Guitar and percussion usher in Penny Explosion which has a broad array of sounds that create an unusual and beguiling structure with music which builds and swirls hypnotically.

Stephen E. McDonald, All Music Guide. Edison Suit are the Southern California duo of Barry Wood and Mark Smith, Barry a keys and Stick player and Mark a guitarist. One listen through this disc, though, and one realizes that these two are accomplished electronic programmers, in addition to their traditional instrumental abilities. The 15 cuts on The Ones Who Keep The Machine Functioning Smoothly mine the bleeding edge of progressive electronica, much ofit wired to techno-based grooves. Tracks like Twisting the First Law and No Freedon in Oblivion generate real electricity through the use of pulsing percussion and electronics over which synths and guitar scratch out an assortment of melodic and rhythmic patterns. I have to say, though, that i preferred the mroe relaxed and friendly terrain explored in pieces like Straylight and Flatlines Laughter. Here, the percussion is under foot rather than in your face and the guitar is given more breathing room, occasionally even allowing for some ...

More melodious, Cloudburst Flight starts with a nice acoustic guitar which frees its notes near a sequence to increasing pulsations. Guitar riffs awaken this soft intro and a synth goes of beautiful harmonious breezes on a more accentuated rhythm. Slowly the rhythm evolves and embraces a more symphonic phase where synth solos twirl around and criss-cross over a rhythm supported by a good sequential movement. Guitar and synth solos become entangled with an explosive violence on a frenzied rhythm. A rhythm which calms down with more suave synth solos, whistling above a rhythmic that is out of breath, sustained by sober percussions and a delicate undulate sequential movement. A solitary piano misleads its notes in a synth mist and Thru Metamorphic Rocks plunges into the meanders of a psychedelico-prog-electronic rock. Under wonderful orchestral arrangements, symphonic percussions roll with so much agility that a wind swirling in full tornado, while the guitar of Froese waters this atmospheric ...

Making music using our bodies, this is what really matter for Barbatuques!. Stablished in 1995, the music group from São Paulo has developed throughout its career a unique approach to body music through their compositions, techniques, exploration of timbres and creative procedures.. Through research and creation from Fernando Barba, who also had a good contact with the musician Stênio Mendes, Barbatuques developed different techniques of body percussion, vocal percussion, tap dance and musical improvisation in their collective experiences, which also incorporated each members experience.. Its innovative way of making music and the numerous possibilities of extracting sounds from the body made the group recognized and active both in artistic and educational environment, and resulted in the creation of musical shows, albums, trainings and workshops, which have been shown in more than 20 countries around the world. Barbatuques trajectory contributed significantly to body music that became ...

World Of The Waking States percussion is nimble and precise. The 4/4 pulse central to Steffi hits like Yours and Sadness is gone, replaced by syncopated hi-hats and kick drums that move around the grid. These restless beats, which never stay the same for long, arent drawn from familiar sources-909s, 808s, 707s-but from Steffis cache of drum synthesisers, which adds to the albums alien sound. Basslines splutter underneath broken halftime rhythms, like the one on Schools Of Thought, the closest World Of The Waking State gets to classic electro. The Meaning Of Memory is the album at its most melodic, not much more than zapping percussion, bleeps and few synth notes. The album is full of these ambiguous but powerful moments, where the mood, whether melancholic, hopeful or something else, belongs to the listener ...

As is to be expected here considering their origins, the band is really all about exploring the connection between their latin hometown and more traditional metal roots with a fiery display of mainly Latin percussion and rhythms in their arrangements as the dominant factor here. Offering up such non-traditional death metal instrumentation here from the trumpet, saxophone and other discordant jazz percussion amongst their rhythms with plenty of fiery death metal riff-work thrown into the mix, the result is incredibly dynamic and offers up plenty of strong dissonant and utterly schizoid arrangements that recall more of a freeform Latin-influenced jazz band than traditional death metal. The strongest point here is that this works for the bands favor as this bizarre mixture is strongly performed while giving them a truly unique and original voice in the genre by combining two seemingly disparate elements that shouldnt come together at all sound quite fun together and even with the challenging ...

His Reminiscenze for organ contains explicit allusions to Messiaens rhythmic and motivic patterns (bird themes in the finale), disposition of sound material (emphasised tritone), as well as registration and characteristic colours of the work. Divertimento for percussion and two pianos - a colourful and lively piece - brings to mind associations with Bartóks Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion. Bauers music is also marked by strong archaising tendencies (Three Old Polish Passion Songs, Three Laments or Mediaeval Sculptures), yet the reference to a specific historical model is always enriched with expression emerging from the composers use of contemporary forms and genres.. Another characteristic feature of Jerzy Bauers compositions is the composers extraordinarily care in the construction of forms - any vagueness is alien to him. Jerzy Bayer found the basis for his works in traditional formal patterns and even though he used them flexibly, he always made sure that the form of each work ...

Reissue of the much missed CRI CD. The title track is a 29 minute piece for viola and small ensemble, conducted by Feldman himself: endlessly suspended and endlessly listenable - it could go on forever; cleanly articulated, always concentrated, in constant motion but without a goal; just rich in its going. There are longeurs that sink into silence, and there is great, and unfamiliar, use of blurry, quiet percussion. It is a work that transfigures time into pure qualia. If you are not familiar with Feldman, this, or Rothko Chapel, would be a good place to start. There are two other pieces on the CD, inhabiting the same timeless zone, Why Patterns, with Feldman himself at the piano, and False relationships and the extended ending. For flute, percussion and piano ...

LeFevre quit secular rock and returned to his home church at Mt. Paran Church of God, in Atlanta-where he worked as a janitor, while attending Bible-study classes. His first challenge was to get out of his music contract which, according to the terms, could only be broken by an act of God. LeFevres attorney argued that being born again is an act of God and won the case. In return for release from his contract, LeFevre agreed to give up all future royalties on his songs, publishing and recordings.[3] In 1981, he started a Christian band called The Gathering Ground Band, later to be renamed Airborn with some musicians he met in the Bible study: Dean Harrington (lead guitar, vocals, percussion), Don Woods (drums/percussion), Kim Klaudt (bass), Mike Adams (rhythm guitar) and Michael Milsap (keyboards). In 1982, the band changed their name to Broken Heart. A small offshoot gospel label from MCA Records known as Songbird released Broken Hearts first album Brand New Start (1982),[11] with members: ...

less), the whiskey flows like a river, and work is done by the rest of the world. Life is bliss, until he wakes to find its only a dream and hes still the drunk he was. On the other side of the coin, Dont Take It for Granted is a reality-based song chronicling the deeds and efforts of our ancestors from the coffin ships to the labor unions. The song serves to remind us all that our soft life was paid for by the hard work and blood our forefathers. Gives you plenty to think about. Rounding out the offering, Clear Mountain Aire will get your toes tapping and is probably one of the best tunes Ive heard featuring an accordion.

Sierra Leones Refugee All-Stars became a global sensation 10 years back after the groups fascinating story was told in an award-winning documentary. The band recently released its third album titled Libation. The music of the All-Stars is infectious and uplifting and I appreciate it even more considering where it was born. I like how they bring together chiming guitars, harmonies, and percussion so beautifully. And if you listen closely to their records, youll also hear some classic reggae, Congolese soukous and American soul. For Libation, the band took a more acoustic approach than they did on their last two albums. They also experimented with a variety of vintage guitars and hand percussion but they also based many songs on African rhythms like Highlife and palm wine that they listened to when they were younger. You can see the Sierra Leone Refugee All-Stars opening for Ziggy Marley Saturday night at David Pecaut Square, which is just opposite the Broadcast Centre. The show starts at 8 ...

Credit for the idea of a Halo ballet goes to Gregory Oh, who commissioned the piece and arranged for me to work with choreographer Julia Aplin. To complement the unusual dance environment of the piece, I chose an unusual musical environment that is equally a hybrid of instrumental traditions, both classical and rock. The material of the piece develops a single harmonic and melodic progression, which moves from extremely slow and legato to extremely fast and frenetic. Through this diverse vocabulary, I hope to give the choreographer a range of expressions to work with, allowing her to demonstrate the full potential of the robotic Halo characters to function as dancers ...

We are studying a number of TBI models including 1) Ellis Model of Mechanical Cell Injury: cortical neurons and astrocytes are cultured atop a silastic membrane. A mechanical strain is applied to those cells (akin to human TBI) creating a mild, moderate or severe injury. There is an injury dependent physiological response of cultured cells to injury including sodium and calcium influx which leads to cellular pathology and subsequent cell death. 2) Cortical Contusion Injury (CCI): CCI is a model of focal TBI. A small craniotomy is made and an impactor is driven into the cortex. Both depth and rate of impact are controlled to create a range of severities. Outcome measures including cell death and cognitive performance correlate with injury severity. 3) Fluid Percussion Injury (FPI): FPI is a model of diffuse TBI. A small craniotomy is made and fluid pulse is driven into the cortex. Adjusting the force of the injected fluid allows for a range of injury severities. Outcome measures including cell ...

BACKGROUND Chest physiotherapy (CPT) has been used in many neonatal nurseries around the world to improve airway clearance and treat lung collapse; however, the evidence to support its use has been conflicting. Despite the large number of studies there is very little evidence of sufficiently good quality on which to base current practice. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of active CPT techniques, such as percussion and vibration followed by suction compared with suction alone, on the respiratory system in infants receiving mechanical ventilation. Additionally, differences between types of active CPT techniques were assessed. SEARCH STRATEGY Our search included The Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2007), MEDLINE (1966 to 2007), EMBASE (1988 to 2007), CINAHL, Science Citation Index, previous reviews including cross-references, abstracts, conference proceedings and grey literature. SELECTION CRITERIA Trials in which ventilated newborn infants up to four weeks of age were randomly or quasi-randomly assigned

TY - JOUR. T1 - Injured Fluoro-Jade-positive hippocampal neurons contain high levels of zinc after traumatic brain injury. AU - Hellmich, Helen L.. AU - Eidson, Kristine A.. AU - Capra, Bridget A.. AU - Garcia, Jeanna M.. AU - Boone, Deborah R.. AU - Hawkins, Bridget E.. AU - Uchida, Tatsuo. AU - DeWitt, Douglas S.. AU - Prough, Donald S.. PY - 2007/1/5. Y1 - 2007/1/5. N2 - Hippocampal damage contributes to cognitive dysfunction after traumatic brain injury (TBI). We previously showed that Fluoro-Jade, a fluorescent stain that labels injured, degenerating brain neurons, quantifies the extent of hippocampal injury after experimental fluid percussion TBI in rats. Coincidentally, we observed that injured neurons in the rat hippocampus also stained with Newport Green, a fluorescent dye specific for free ionic zinc. Here, we show that, regardless of injury severity or therapeutic intervention, the post-TBI population of injured neurons in rat hippocampal subfields CA1, CA3 and dentate gyrus is ...

Virally mediated RNA interference (RNAi) to knock down injury-induced genes could improve functional outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI); however, little is known about the consequences of gene knockdown on downstream cell signaling pathways and how RNAi influences neurodegeneration and behavior. Here, we assessed the effects of adeno-associated virus (AAV) siRNA vectors that target two genes with opposing roles in TBI pathogenesis: the allegedly detrimental neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and the potentially protective glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx-1). In rat hippocampal progenitor cells, three siRNAs that target different regions of each gene (nNOS, GPx-1) effectively knocked down gene expression. However, in vivo, in our rat model of fluid percussion brain injury, the consequences of AAV-siRNA were variable. One nNOS siRNA vector significantly reduced the number of degenerating hippocampal neurons and showed a tendency to improve working memory. GPx-1 siRNA treatment did not alter TBI

Airway clearance techniques (ACTs): One of the key treatments for CF is daily airway clearance technique treatments. There are several techniques, such as percussion and postular draining in which a caretaker cups their hand and claps it against the childs chest to loosen and expel mucus. Different ACTs are more effective for different people-no one technique is necessarily better than another, but anything is better than nothing. It is important to find one that works for you and do it daily. ...

Auckland realised that their cluster had started after a change in treatment. Whereas chest therapy for premature babies had taken place only during regular working hours, it was now available round the clock. This meant that babies were likely to get more treatments.. The physio was rather vigorous. It was done by tapping on the chest with a small facemask - a technique called cupping. On hearing Rushtons story, Auckland acted promptly. They did not just alter the way physio was done, they stopped it altogether - and they never saw another case.. We should point out that, although chest physiotherapy had been shown to remove more secretions, there was (and is) no proof that it has any long-term benefits to the baby. Moreover, earlier publications had shown risks. A premature baby was found to have multiple rib fractures caused by chest physiotherapy from percussion by hand and vibration from an electric toothbrush.. Had the fractures of this unintentionally battered neonate first been ...

Symptoms of pulmonary embolism are typically sudden in onset and may include one or many of the following: dyspnea (shortness of breath), tachypnea (rapid breathing), chest pain of a pleuritic nature (worsened by breathing), cough and hemoptysis (coughing up blood).[16] More severe cases can include signs such as cyanosis (blue discoloration, usually of the lips and fingers), collapse, and circulatory instability because of decreased blood flow through the lungs and into the left side of the heart. About 15% of all cases of sudden death are attributable to PE.[2]. On physical examination, the lungs are usually normal. Occasionally, a pleural friction rub may be audible over the affected area of the lung (mostly in PE with infarct). A pleural effusion is sometimes present that is exudative, detectable by decreased percussion note, audible breath sounds, and vocal resonance. Strain on the right ventricle may be detected as a left parasternal heave, a loud pulmonary component of the second heart ...

Patients with irreversibly inflamed or necrotic permanent first molars or second premolars were examined. From the 348 eligible patients (160 men and 188 women; mean age ± standard deviation = 30.4 ± 10.0 years), data on age, sex, health status, current presence of pain, tooth type, dental arc, and pulpal diagnosis were collected. Percussion testing was applied to all posterior teeth, and the degrees of pain were recorded using a 4-point verbal scale as follows: none to slight (coded as 0) and moderate to severe (coded as 1). Following association rule mining (with minimum support and confidence levels of 0.1), univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed at various stringency levels (α = 0.05 ...

3. Sensory and Motor Coordination or Function. Students must have sufficient sensory and motor function to perform a physical examination utilizing palpation, auscultation, percussion, and other diagnostic maneuvers. In general, this requires sufficient exteroceptive sense (touch, pain and temperature), proprioceptive sense (position, pressure, movement, stereognosis and vibratory), and motor function. A student should be able to execute motor movements reasonably promptly to urgencies within the hospital, and must not hinder the ability of their co-workers to provide prompt care, measure angles and diameters of various body structures using tape measure and goniometer, measure blood pressure and pulse. A student should be able to learn to perform basic laboratory tests (urinalysis, complete blood count, etc.), and diagnostic and therapeutic procedures (phlebotomy, arterial blood gas drawings, lumbar puncture, arthrocentesis, etc.). Examples of such emergency treatment reasonably required of ...
