Presentation
Anger during the hazard period was more common in younger, socioeconomically deprived patients who presented with a STEMI. CONCLUSIONS: Triggers are relevant across the spectrum of ACS. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
-
Increased Energy
Despite markedly increased energy expenditure during the climb [4202 kcal (Mount Kinabalu) vs. 2948 kcal (UK) and 2662 kcal (Singapore)], mean blood glucose was considerably higher during the trek up Mount Kinabalu [13.2 5.9 mmol/l, vs. 7.9 3.8 mmol/l [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Ears
-
Sudden Hearing Loss
Sudden hearing loss or dizziness, or both, are the main symptoms. The diagnosis will be established by the history, the audiogram, and the electronystagmogram (ENG). The treatment is still controversial. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Back Pain
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate psychosocial factors and physical exertion at work in relation to the onset of low-back pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cross-sectional studies have shown positive associations between perceived physical exertion and low back pain among healthcare workers[ 23 ]. [bmcmusculoskeletdisord.biomedcentral.com]

Low Back Pain
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate psychosocial factors and physical exertion at work in relation to the onset of low-back pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cross-sectional studies have shown positive associations between perceived physical exertion and low back pain among healthcare workers[ 23 ]. [bmcmusculoskeletdisord.biomedcentral.com]
-
Neck Pain
Strenuous physical exertion was not a risk factor for chronic neck pain, and moderate physical exertion was not a risk factor for chronic pain in any of the body regions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Keywords Chronic pain Musculoskeletal disorders Neck pain Back pain Knee pain Risk factors Longitudinal Eldercare Background Musculoskeletal pain cause individual distress and great societal costs in terms of poor work ability and sickness absenteeism [bmcmusculoskeletdisord.biomedcentral.com]

Acute Low Back Pain
CONCLUSION: The effect period, if any, of exposure to physical exertion, stress, and time pressure on the onset of acute low-back pain is considered to be less than 24 hours. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hyperlaxity
These results confirm that joint hyperlaxity predisposes individuals to musculoligamentous lesions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Eyes
-
Blurred Vision
This may also lead to decreased gaze stability with movements of the head and may account for symptoms of blurred vision or diplopia reported in almost half of athletes sustaining a concussion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Diplopia
This may also lead to decreased gaze stability with movements of the head and may account for symptoms of blurred vision or diplopia reported in almost half of athletes sustaining a concussion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Urogenital
-
Urinary Retention
A 56-year-old man presented with acute paraplegia and urinary retention during heavy physical exertion. Imaging studies revealed spinal cord infarction at the T9 to T12 levels and aortoiliac occlusive disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
-
Sleep Disturbance
Although the home group reported earlier wake-up times, the pattern of sleep disturbance ratings across the workdays did not differ between the groups. Both groups reported few sleep disturbances and good mood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Postural Instability
Postural instability associated with fatigue would likely be attained more rapidly for stroke individuals than for healthy individuals. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Etiologic workup is important for patients with spinal cord infarction to direct specific treatment strategies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Serum
-
Hydrocortisone Decreased
The anti-inflammatory potency of hydrocortisone decreased. Prolonged multifactorial stress thus activated circulating immune cells and primed them for an increased response to a subsequent microbial challenge. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
QT, RR, ST Intervals
-
ST Elevation
Physical exertion during the hazard period was related to an absence of premonitory symptoms, presentation with an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), low socioeconomic deprivation and higher future cardiovascular risk. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Double-blind, placebo, balanced treatment presentation and crossover design were used with 3 weeks and 3 days of supplementation followed by a 1-week washout period before the other counterbalanced treatment was initiated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The exertion positive images procedure produced significant anxiety reduction, comparable to a taped desensitization treatment. Anxiety reduction effects were found for both the exertion and positive images components. [link.springer.com]
Prognosis
Moderate physical exertion was not associated with improved prognosis for recovery from long-term pain for any of the body regions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Further, the prognosis for recovery from pain is worse among women than men[ 19 ]. [bmcmusculoskeletdisord.biomedcentral.com]
Etiology
These reports identify heat stress, dehydration, viral illness, and poor physical conditioning as factors which may contribute to exertional rhabdomyolysis and sudden death, suggesting multifactorial etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In a search for its etiology hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Herpes viruses, Ebstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and influenza virus infection should have been considered. [omicsonline.org]
Second, the etiology of knee pain may be quite different from that of back or neck/shoulder pain. There are both strengths and limitations of our study. [bmcmusculoskeletdisord.biomedcentral.com]
Epidemiology
METHODS: Perimortem and other relevant data were collected from the Armed Forces Medical Examiners Tracking System, Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application, and Defense Medical Epidemiology Database for decedents meeting SCD/E case definition [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Thus major advances in headache epidemiology may be expected to occur when migraine is defined by a laboratory finding'. [books.google.com]

Pathophysiology
BACKGROUND: Sudden cardiac death associated with physical exertion (SCD/E) is a complicated pathophysiological event. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Consistent with these pathophysiologic observations is our finding of a particularly high relative risk of myocardial infarction among “unfit” patients during or shortly after exertion. [nejm.org]
Prevention
Although unproven as of yet, further research may be needed to demonstrate if antioxidant therapy can prevent or ameliorate potential life-threatening complications in the acute setting. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
