ABSTRACT In the current era of medical practice, super saturated with investigations of choice and development of diagnostic tools, clinical examination is a lost art. In this review we briefly discuss important aspects of examination of the liver, which is much needed in decision making on investigational approach. We urge the new medical student or the newly practicing physician to develop skills in clinical examination for resourceful management of the patient.

  • General Physical Examination Skills for Ahps
    General Physical Examination Techniques for the Rheumatology Clinic This manual has been developed as an overview of the general examination of the rheumatology patient. Certain details have been specifically omitted because they have no relevance when examining a stable out patient in the rheumatology clinic. Vital Signs 1. Heart rate 2. Blood pressure 3. Weight 1. Heart Rate There are two things you want to document when assessing heart rate: The actual rate and the rhythm. Rate: count pulse for at least 15 – 30 seconds (e.g., if you count the rate for 15 seconds, multiply this result by 4 to determine heart rate). The radial pulse is most commonly used to assess the heart rate. With the pads of your index and middle fingers, compress the radial artery until a pulsation is detected. Normal 60-100 bpm Bradycardia <60 bpm Tachycardia >100 bpm 2. Heart Rhythm The rhythm should be regular. A regularly irregular rhythm is one where the pulse is irregular but there is a pattern to the irregularity. For example every third beat is dropped. An irregularly irregular rhythm is one where the pulse is irregular and there is no pattern to the irregularity. The classic example of this is atrial fibrillation. 3. Blood Pressure Blood pressure should be measured in both arms, and should include an assessment of orthostatic change How to measure the Brachial Artery Blood Pressure: • Patient should be relaxed, in a supine or sitting position, with the arms positioned correctly(at, not above, the level of the heart) • Remember that measurements should be taken bilaterally • Choice of appropriate cuff size for the patient is important to accuracy of measured blood pressure.

  • The Older Adult 20
    CHAPTER The Older Adult 20 Older adults now number more than 25 million people in the United States and are expected to reach 80 million by 2050.1 These seniors will live longer than previous generations: life span at birth is currently 79 years for women and 74 years for men. Those older than 85 years are projected to increase to 5% of the U.S. population within 40 years. Hence, the “demographic im- perative” is to maximize not only the life span but also the “health span” of our older population, so that seniors maintain full function for as long as possible, enjoying rich and active lives in their homes and communities. Clinicians now recognize frailty as one of society’s common myths about aging—more than 95% of Americans older than 65 years live in the commu- nity, and only 5% reside in long-term care facilities.1,2 Over the past 20 years, seniors actually have become more active and less disabled. These changes call for new goals for clinical care—“an informed activated patient inter- acting with a prepared proactive team, resulting in high quality satisfying en- counters and improved outcomes”3—and a distinct set of clinical attitudes and skills. CHAPTER 20 I THE OLDER ADULT 839 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY Assessing the older adult presents special opportunities and special challenges. Many of these are quite different from the disease-oriented approach of his- tory taking and physical examination for younger patients: the focus on healthy or “successful” aging; the need to understand and mobilize family, social, and community supports; the importance of skills directed to func- tional assessment, “the sixth vital sign”; and the opportunities for promoting the older adult’s long-term health and safety.

  • Dysbarism - Barotrauma
    DYSBARISM - BAROTRAUMA Introduction Dysbarism is the term given to medical complications of exposure to gases at higher than normal atmospheric pressure. It includes barotrauma, decompression illness and nitrogen narcosis. Barotrauma occurs as a consequence of excessive expansion or contraction of gas within enclosed body cavities. Barotrauma principally affects the: 1. Lungs (most importantly): Lung barotrauma may result in: ● Gas embolism ● Pneumomediastinum ● Pneumothorax. 2. Eyes 3. Middle / Inner ear 4. Sinuses 5. Teeth / mandible 6. GIT (rarely) Any illness that develops during or post div.ing must be considered to be diving- related until proven otherwise. Any patient with neurological symptoms in particular needs urgent referral to a specialist in hyperbaric medicine. See also separate document on Dysbarism - Decompression Illness (in Environmental folder). Terminology The term dysbarism encompasses: ● Decompression illness And ● Barotrauma And ● Nitrogen narcosis Decompression illness (DCI) includes: 1. Decompression sickness (DCS) (or in lay terms, the “bends”): ● Type I DCS: ♥ Involves the joints or skin only ● Type II DCS: ♥ Involves all other pain, neurological injury, vestibular and pulmonary symptoms. 2. Arterial gas embolism (AGE): ● Due to pulmonary barotrauma releasing air into the circulation. Epidemiology Diving is generally a safe undertaking. Serious decompression incidents occur approximately only in 1 in 10,000 dives. However, because of high participation rates, there are about 200 - 300 cases of significant decompression illness requiring treatment in Australia each year. It is estimated that 10 times this number of divers experience less severe illness after diving. Physics Boyle’s Law: The air pressure at sea level is 1 atmosphere absolute (ATA). Alternative units used for 1 ATA include: ● 101.3 kPa (SI units) ● 1.013 Bar ● 10 meters of sea water (MSW) ● 760 mm of mercury (mm Hg) ● 14.7 pounds per square inch (PSI) For every 10 meters a diver descends in seawater, the pressure increases by 1 ATA.
