  2. Myocardial rupture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_rupture

    The most common cause of myocardial rupture is a recent myocardial infarction, with the rupture typically occurring three to five days after infarction. [3] Other causes of rupture include cardiac trauma, endocarditis (infection of the heart), [4] [5] cardiac tumors, infiltrative diseases of the heart, [4] and aortic dissection. [citation needed]

  3. Traumatic aortic rupture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traumatic_aortic_rupture

    The condition is difficult to detect and may go unnoticed, because many patients have no specific symptoms. Diagnosis is further complicated by the fact that many patients with the injury experienced multiple other serious injuries as well, [10] so the attention of hospital staff may be distracted from the possibility of aortic rupture. In fact ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_syncope

    The diagnosis of heat syncope is done during a physical examination. During the physical exam the practitioner will test the blood pressure of the patient, and the pulse. If the patient is experiencing heat syncope the blood pressure will be low, and the pulse will be elevated. Observation of excess sweating will also be a key sign.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barotrauma

    Barotrauma is physical damage to body tissues caused by a difference in pressure between a gas space inside, or in contact with, the body and the surrounding gas or liquid. [1] [2] The initial damage is usually due to over-stretching the tissues in tension or shear, either directly by an expansion of the gas in the closed space or by pressure difference hydrostatically transmitted through the ...

  7. Shock (circulatory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_(circulatory)

    The diagnosis is generally based on a combination of symptoms, physical examination, and laboratory tests. [2] A decreased pulse pressure (systolic blood pressure minus diastolic blood pressure) or a fast heart rate raises concerns. [1] Shock is a medical emergency and requires urgent medical care.

  8. Ethylene glycol poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol_poisoning

    Early symptoms include intoxication, vomiting and abdominal pain. [1] Later symptoms may include a decreased level of consciousness, headache, and seizures. [1] Long term outcomes may include kidney failure and brain damage. [1] Toxicity and death may occur after drinking even in a small amount [1] as ethylene glycol is more toxic than other diols.

  9. Chance fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chance_fracture

    The cause is classically a head-on motor vehicle collision in which the affected person is wearing only a lap belt. [2] Being hit in the abdomen with an object like a tree or a fall may also result in this fracture pattern. [12] [10] It often involves disruption of all three columns of the vertebral body (anterior, middle, and posterior).
