In a telemedicine system, a patient is geographically removed from the presence of a doctor or other healthcare provider. For example, the patient could be at home instead of on site at a healthcare facility. Telemedical devices enable the healthcare provider to monitor the health status of a patient and potentially diagnose and treat some medical problems without the need for the patient to travel to the healthcare facility. The use of telemedical systems has the potential to reduce the cost of healthcare, and to improve the quality of healthcare through increased patient monitoring. Various known telemedicine systems provide a device to a patient that enables the patient to transmit medical data to a doctor or healthcare provider. Some devices are configured to record biosignals, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration rates, and transmit data of the recorded biosignals to a database for later review. 1, record 1, English, - biosignal

The to-and-fro rubbing or grating sound which may be heard or may be confined to a very small area. It is heard, as a rule, in both phases of the cardiac cycle. It is unaffected by respiration and is thus differentiated from a pleural friction rub. A rub may be readily heard at one moment and be absent several minutes later. It is increased when the examiner presses the stethoscope firmly against the patient's chest wall. 3, record 3, English, - pericardial%20friction%20rub

Il a été démontré que le métabolisme du champignon de Paris ne suit pas une cinétique michaelienne. Pour tous les végétaux testés le CO2, jusqu'à 20 kPa, ne modère pas l'intensité respiratoire et même, dans le cas du champignon, semble l'activer. L'équipe vient de démontrer que de nouveaux matériaux d'enrobage et de filmage (biofilms et films polymériques de synthèse hydrophiles) présentent, d'une part, une haute sélectivité aux gaz permettant la création de toute atmosphère modifiée à l'équilibre telle que (O2)+(CO2) <21kPa et, d'autre part, un Q10 de la perméabilité au gaz carbonique voisin de celui de la respiration des végétaux. 3, record 5, French, - intensit%C3%A9%20respiratoire

les découpleurs agissent en dissociant l'oxydation de la phosphorylation dans la chaîne respiratoire. La respiration n'est plus alors contrôlée, car la concentration de l'ADP ou du Pi ne limite plus le taux de la respiration. Le découpleur le plus fréquemment utilisé est le 2,4-dinitrophénol (DNP).
