Initial symptoms of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome(STSS) are usually flu-like and may include fever, chills, malaise, vomiting, nausea, and muscle aches. Approximately 24-48 hours after symptom onset, an infected individual' s blood pressure can drop with symptoms progressing to sepsis with hypotension(low blood pressure), tachycardia(faster than normal heart rate), tachypnea(rapid breathing), and organ failure. 5, record 1, English, - streptococcal%20toxic%20shock%20syndrome

Environ de 24 à 48 heures après l'apparition des symptômes, la pression artérielle d'une personne infectée peut chuter et les symptômes évoluer vers une septicémie avec hypotension (pression artérielle basse), tachycardie (rythme cardiaque plus rapide que la normale), tachypnée (respiration rapide) et une défaillance d'organe. 4, record 1, French, - syndrome%20de%20choc%20toxique%20streptococcique

Body roundness index(BRI) might be a more accurate measurement than body mass index(BMI) for predicting weight-related health risks... BMI has long been the standard to classify a person's body weight as too low, normal, overweight, or obese. While BMI often reflects a person's body fat amount, it doesn’t account for fat distribution or the amount of muscle mass.... BRI addresses these shortcomings by focusing on a person's height, waist size, and hip size. By taking weight out of the equation, BRI provides a better indicator of how much belly fat(visceral fat) surrounds the organs inside the abdomen. High amounts of belly fat are linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. 3, record 2, English, - body%20roundness%20index

Muscarine, a natural product from the mushroom "Amanita muscaria, "stimulates Ach [acetylcholine](cholinergic) receptors at the parasympathetic terminal sites : exocrine glands(lacrimal, salivary, and bronchial mucous glands), cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle(gastrointestinal tract). Ach receptors at these sites and the effects of parasympathetic stimulation at these sites are termed "muscarinic. "A muscarinic effect well known to respiratory care clinicians is the increase in airway secretions after administration of Ach-like drugs, such as neostigmine. There is also a decrease in blood pressure caused by slowing of the heart and vasodilation. 2, record 4, English, - muscarinic%20effect

Record number: 9, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Urinary stress incontinence occurs when the urethral sphincter or pelvic muscle cannot adequately support the bladder. This allows the bladder to slip down into the pelvic cavity and place pressure on the urethra, the duct that carries urine from the bladder to outside the body. As a result, body movements, such as exercising, coughing or sneezing, can place additional pressure on the bladder causing it to leak. Although it can affect anyone, it is a common condition among women who have gone through childbirth or menopause. 3, record 9, English, - stress%20urinary%20incontinence

Expressions sous des formes variées d'une situation conflictuelle entre un contenant peu extensible (loge ou compartiment) et un contenu expansible (muscle), les syndromes de loges (syndromes compartimentaux) ont en commun une élévation de la pression intracompartimentale. Celle-ci entraîne une réduction de la perfusion capillaire avec les risques de lésions ischémiques irréversibles du contenu de la loge (muscles et nerfs). 1, record 15, French, - syndrome%20des%20loges

Compression neuropathy :-damage to a peripheral nerve by pressure-can occur anywhere along its course, although certain sites more vulnerable-source of pressure may be external : such as ulnar neuropathy from leaning on the elbow, or a peroneal palsy from pressure from a cast or brace-compression may be from source inside body : nerve may be angulated by adjacent tissues within the body such as a bony callus, synovial thickening, ganglia, tumors, fibrous bands, or normal or aberrant muscle.-compression may be acute, continuous or intermittent-recovery from compression neuropathy can be partial or complete depending on the degree of injury, type of injury and systemic factors.-treatment should be focussed on relieving the compression on the nerve. 1, record 16, English, - compression%20neuropathy
