COLLOCATIONS FROM CORPUS

acidosis
▪ Hence, this condition is termed respiratory acidosis. 283.
▪ Metabolic acidosis can also occur with respiratory acidosis.
▪ In respiratory acidosis since the initial defect is associated with the lungs, the kidneys respond as the major compensatory system.
▪ When the clinical situation suggests acute respiratory acidosis, the diagnosis of a mixed disturbance is more easily established.
▪ Cardiopulmonary arrest and cardiogenic shock frequently result in severe acidemia because of the presence of both metabolic and respiratory acidosis.
▪ If the total CO2 is high, the patient may have either metabolic alkalosis or chronic respiratory acidosis, or both.
▪ Treatment of a mixed metabolic alkalosis and respiratory acidosis is aimed at the underlying problems.
▪ The acute rise in potassium in conjunction with the clinical setting suggests that an acute respiratory acidosis has developed.
disease
▪ Major complications that can occur include calorie loss due to vomiting with resultant growth failure and respiratory disease secondary to aspiration of refluxate.
▪ Other forms of upper respiratory diseases.
▪ Patients were excluded from further examination after their dyspepsia clinic visit if they had severe concurrent cardiovascular or respiratory disease.
▪ Third, the main sources of mortality are cancers, circulatory diseases and respiratory diseases.
▪ Bohemian children suffer from two to three respiratory diseases a year, and one third suffer from non-specific allergies.
▪ Not surprisingly, doctors also discovered that respiratory diseases in such environments had reached unprecedented levels.
▪ Fourth, there have been decreases in mortality for several major diseases, especially heart disease, stroke and respiratory disease.
▪ We used the conservative assumption that both children given vitamin A and hence eight of the 10 controls died from respiratory disease.
distress
▪ Associations have been shown between low packed cell volume or red cell volume, or both, and the respiratory distress syndrome.
▪ Although the incidence of the respiratory distress syndrome was similar in our groups there were significant differences in variables reflecting disease severity.
▪ An X-ray showed that's lungs hadn't fully matured and that he was suffering respiratory distress syndrome.
▪ Eight hours after admission he suddenly deteriorated, with severe respiratory distress and increasing left chest signs.
▪ She had well established adult respiratory distress syndrome, requiring artificial ventilation with 90% fractional inspired oxygen.
failure
▪ Careful monitoring for the development of respiratory failure and cerebral oedema is also important.
▪ Alternatively, this finding may presage respiratory failure.
▪ Chan etal found that raised alcohol consumption was associated with hypercapnic respiratory failure in bronchitis patients.
illness
▪ The decision follows years of anxiety about the high levels of respiratory illnesses in the area.
▪ Effects have included widespread respiratory illnesses and the closure of airports due to poor visibility.
▪ The association between length of gestation and respiratory illness was greatest for symptoms of wheeze most days.
▪ About 55 percent of schoolchildren suffer health problems; respiratory illnesses are particularly prevalent.
▪ Immaturity seems to play an important part in the subsequent development of respiratory illness in childhood.
infection
▪ As part of our management we advised parents to avoid, when possible, their child's exposure to respiratory infections.
▪ Everybody from here to Wesley and back has upper respiratory infections.
▪ Subjects - 256 Infants and children under 3 years of age with symptoms of respiratory infection.
▪ People who develop meningococcal meningitis may have a preceding upper respiratory infection.
▪ Systems of treatment based on simple clinical signs have been developed and validated for the management of respiratory infections.
▪ It can be triggered by viruses, including those that cause upper respiratory infections, such as the influenza virus.
▪ So, for instance, many kinds of diarrhoea are classified as hot, while respiratory infections are often treated as cold.
▪ By contrast, we found no reduction in deaths attributed to acute lower respiratory infections in the vitamin-A-supplemented group.
problem
▪ The examples stated here are basic to all patients with a respiratory problem, or problem of the cardiovascular system.
▪ One person stopped by Florida Hospital Waterman complaining of respiratory problems.
▪ Having a parched nose and throat may lower resistance to colds, croup, sinusitis and respiratory problems.
▪ Ashby says even after all these years, he still suffers from constantly recurring respiratory problems and skin rashes.
▪ They blame respiratory problems on emissions from the Teesside plants.
▪ After developing his technique he was free from all his respiratory problems and they never bothered him again throughout his life.
▪ A hospital in nearby Teplice reported the number of child patients had doubled, mostly due to respiratory problems.
▪ Smoking crack during pregnancy can cause low birth-weight, respiratory problems and premature labour.
rate
▪ Blood urea nitrogen, heart rate, and respiratory rate were not related to 2-year survival.
▪ His respiratory rate varied between 11 and 14 per minute.
▪ In older horses infections rarely become patent but are often associated with persistent coughing and an increased respiratory rate.
symptom
▪ We evaluated children's lung function and respiratory symptoms in relation to both length of gestation and the birth weight adjusted for gestational age.
▪ An analysis of the 1987 survey was undertaken to estimate the dose-response relations of height and respiratory symptoms to passive smoking.
▪ This was the sample used for the analysis of birth weight, gestational age, and respiratory symptoms.
▪ Conclusions - Over half the children presenting to this referral hospital with respiratory symptoms were hypoxaemic.
▪ The respiratory symptoms are its main indication for use.
▪ Most epidemiological studies have not analysed respiratory symptoms in relation to birth weight and gestational age separately.
▪ The mechanisms through which prenatal events influence lung function differ from those that affect respiratory symptoms in children.
system
▪ Ozone irritates the eyes, nose, throat and respiratory system.
▪ Back in their high school biology class, the students had been studying the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
▪ It was like a man breathing through a respiratory system, with some sort of one-way valve.
▪ Ecstasy kills because it affects the respiratory system and causes lung failure and hence death.
▪ The respiratory system is vital to life and anything which prevents it functioning can result in death.
tract
▪ The cilia in the respiratory tract hasten the exit from the body of possibly harmful foreign material.
▪ Subjects who developed a symptomatic infection of the upper respiratory tract were retested while ill and again one month later when asymptomatic.
▪ With further respiratory tract infections there remains a tendency to impaired hearing, but this is transient.
▪ We are not aware of reports from developing countries of the outcome of hypoxaemia in children with acute lower respiratory tract infection.
▪ Ether is irritant to the mouse respiratory tract and can cause excessive mucous secretion.
▪ It is another remedy with an affinity for the respiratory tract.
▪ Certainly smoking stimulates mucin secretion by the respiratory tract mucosa, probably by a direct irritant effect.
▪ When inhaled, these very small clusters are deposited in the respiratory tract.
