In addition to the redistribution of blood in the body, most cases of dyspnea are accompanied by an increase in the overall work of breathing, often caused by abnormal pulmonary mechanisms. [ 5 ] The perception of dyspnea is theorized to be a complicated connection between peripheral receptors, neural pathways , and the central nervous system .
Danicopan, sold under the brand name Voydeya, is a medication used for the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. It is a complement inhibitor which reversibly binds to factor D to prevent alternative pathway-mediated hemolysis and deposition of complement C3 proteins on red blood cells. The most common side effects include fever, headache, increased levels of liver enzymes (a sign ...
If the kidney injury is the result of dehydration, there may be thirst as well as evidence of fluid depletion on physical examination. [9] Physical examination may also provide other clues as to the underlying cause of the kidney problem, such as a rash in interstitial nephritis (or vasculitis) and a palpable bladder in obstructive nephropathy.

[3] [2] Hypovolemic shock is a medical emergency; if left untreated, the insufficient blood flow can cause damage to organs, leading to multiple organ failure. [4] In treating hypovolemic shock, it is important to determine the cause of the underlying hypovolemia, which may be the result of bleeding or other fluid losses.
The reason we experience brain freeze after having cold food or drinks or breathing cold air is still under debate. Catherine Ham, a neurologist at VCU Health in Richmond, Va., tells Yahoo Life ...
Cold-induced diuresis, or cold diuresis, is a phenomenon that occurs in humans after exposure to a hypothermic environment, usually during mild to moderate hypothermia. [16] It is currently thought to be caused by the redirection of blood from the extremities to the core due to peripheral vasoconstriction , which increases the fluid volume in ...
