Physical examination - Height.
Height is the anthropometric longitudinal growth of an individual. A statiometer is the device used to measure height although often a height stick is more frequently used for vertical measurement of adults or children older than 2. The patient is asked to stand barefoot. Height declines during the day because of compression of the intervertebral discs. Children under age 2 are measured lying horizontally.

| | |  physical examination: Without a Self Buddhist Quotes: Without a Self Suppose a man who was not blind beheld the many bubbles on the Ganges as they drive along, and he watched them and carefully examined them, then after he had carefully examined them they would appear to him empty, unreal and unsubstantial. In exactly the same way does the monk behold all physical phenomena, feelings, perceptions, mental formations, and states of consciousness-whether they be of the past, or the present, or the future, far or near. And he watches them, and examines them carefully; and, after carefully examining them, they appear to him empty, void and without a Self. - from the Majjhima Nikaya translated by Nyanatiloka .

Physical examination - Temperature.
Temperature recording gives an indication of core body temperature which is normally tightly controlled (thermoregulation) as it affects the rate of chemical reactions. It does though vary with time of day and body conditions but prolonged significant temperature elevation (hyperthermia) or depression (hypothermia) are incompatible with life.

| | | | physical examination: Encyclopedia II - Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - Physical examination The physical findings of HCM are associated with the dynamic outflow obstruction that is often present with this disease.
Upon auscultation, the cardiac murmur will sound similar to the murmur of aortic stenosis. However, this murmur will increase in intensity with any maneuver that decreases the volume of blood in the left ventricle (such as standing or the strain phase of a Valsalva maneuver).
If dynamic outflow obstruction exists, physical examination findings that can be elicited include the pulsus bisferiens and the double ...

| | | | physical examination: Encyclopedia II - Aortic insufficiency - Physical examination The physical examination of an individual with aortic insufficiency involves auscultation of the heart to listen for the murmur of aortic insufficiency and related heart sounds. The murmur of chronic aortic insufficiency is a holodiastolic (lasts all of diastole) decrescendo murmur (starts off loud and becomes soft). The murmur of chronic aortic insufficiency has the following characteristics:
Systolic ejection click
Ejection murmur

| | | | physical examination: Encyclopedia II - Medical test - Overview Some medical tests are parts of a simple physical examination which require only simple tools in the hands of a skilled practitioner, and can be performed in an office environment. Some other tests require elaborate equipment or the use of a sterile operating theatre environment.
Some tests require samples of tissue or body fluids to be sent off to a pathology lab for further analysis. Some simple chemical tests, such as urine pH, can be measured directly in the doctor's office.
Most medical tests are conducted on the living; however, some of these tests can also be carried ou ...

| | | | physical examination: Encyclopedia II - Mitral stenosis - Diagnosis In most cases, the diagnosis of mitral stenosis is most easily made by echocardiography, which shows decreased opening of the mitral valve leaflets, and blunted flow of blood in early diastole.
The trans-mitral gradient as measured by doppler echocardiography is the gold standard in the evaluation of the severity of mitral stenosis.
Another method of measuring the severity of mitral stenosis is the simultaneous left heart catheterization and right heart catheterization. The right heart catheterization (commonly known as swan ga ...

| | | | physical examination: Encyclopedia II - Dilated cardiomyopathy - Genetics About 20-40% of patients have familial forms of the disease, with mutations of genes encoding cytoskeletal, contractile, or other proteins present in myocardial cells.4 The disease is genetically heterogenous, but the most common form of its transmission is an autosomal dominant pattern. Autosomal recessive, X-linked, and mitochondrial inheritance of the disease is also found.5
Althought the disease is more common in African-Americans than ...

| | | | physical examination: Encyclopedia II - Pneumonia - Diagnosis To diagnose pneumonia, health care providers rely on a patient's symptoms and findings from physical examination. Information from a chest X-ray, blood tests, and sputum cultures may also be helpful. The chest X-ray is typically used for diagnosis in hospitals and some clinics with X-ray facilities. However, in a community setting (general practice), pneumonia is usually diagnosed based on symptoms and physical examination alone. Diagnosing pneumonia can be difficult in some people, especially those who have other illnesses. Occasionally a chest CT scan or other tests may be needed to dist ...

Aortic insufficiency - Acute aortic insufficiency.
In acute AI, as may be seen with acute perforation of the aortic valve due to endocarditis, there will be a sudden increase in the volume of blood in the left ventricle. The ventricle, unable to deal with the sudden change in volume, and will decompensate. The filling press ...
