Respiratory assessment as part of track and trigger.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The respiratory system's primary function is to provide oxygen to all the cells of the body for metabolism and to eliminate the by-product of this metabolism, carbon dioxide (Tortora and Grabowski, 2002). In this article (part three of four) we aim to explore respiratory rate and related care.

Acceleration-Based Quality Assessment of Railway Tracks using a 2D simulation model and recorded track data
Car body acceleration is an important factor affecting track safety and ride comfort, which are two primary aspects of railway systems. Though track level is an important source of wagon body acceleration, no quantitative relation between them is available and the aim of this paper is to propose a method to address this issue. To do so, car body acceleration is determined using a 10 DOF simulat...
متن کاملAssessment of Decisional Conflict about the Treatment of Trigger Finger, Comparing Patients and Physicians
Background: As an early step in the development of a decision aid for idiopathic trigger finger (TF) we were interested in the level of decisional conflict experienced by patients and hand surgeons. This study tested the null hypothesis that there is no difference in decisional conflict between patients with one or more idiopathic trigger fingers and hand surgeons. Secondary analyses address ...

متن کاملEffects of track characteristics on dynamic responses of train-bridge systems
High speed trains are an indispensable part of rapid transportation systems in many countries. As the fastest means of transport on the ground, these trains are extremely sensitive to the terrain and track conditions. Geometrical irregularities and mechanical characteristics of the track, together with inconsistencies in the lane (including bridges that support the track) are considered importa...
