A method of determining baroreceptor reflex sensitivity is proposed that based on spectral analysis systolic pressure values and RR interval times, namely, the modulus (or gain) in mid frequency band (0.07-0.14 Hz) between these two signals. Results using this were highly correlated (0.94; n = 8) with results phenylephrine method. In addition, compared for preceding rest period, decreased during mental challenge, as might be expected from literature.
The average patient visiting a doctor in the United States gets 22 seconds for his initial statement, then takes lead. 1 This style of communication is probably based on assumption that patients will mess up time schedule if allowed to talk as long they wish to.But how do actually talk, at least initially?We found only one study, from neurological practice, investigating this question. 2 author reported minute and 40 seconds.We examined it would take outpatients tertiary referral centre...
Objective We investigated whether patient-centered communication skills can be taught to residents in Internal Medicine by using a time-limited behaviorally oriented intervention. Method Residents working at the Department of were randomly assigned an intervention group (IG; N = 19) or control (CG; 23). In addition 6 hours standard medical education per week, IG received specific training 22.5 duration within 6-month period. Initially and 10 months later, participants performed interviews...
In the literature role of an interpreter in clinical setting is not yet clearly defined. The aim study to explore, which interpreters assign themselves and they actually take setting.In quantitative part study, evaluated their encounter through a questionnaire, whereas qualitative interpreters' was assessed by analysing videotapes encounters.373 questionnaires 19 were collated analysed. According results questionnaire seem prefer neutral encounter. This contrast what observed practice, as...
Objective A number of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) parameters have been used in cardiovascular psychophysiology. This study aimed to describe the pattern and redundancy a set SNS during peripherally induced changes cardiac activation reflex modulation central control. Preejection period (PEP) was assessed as marker peripheral activation. Low-frequency blood pressure variability (BPV) an estimate Methods Peripheral β-sympathetic stimulation blockade were achieved with epinephrine esmolol...
Summary Previous communication research in general medical practice has shown that effective enhances patient compliance, satisfaction and outcome. It is expected equally important anaesthesia, since patients often suffer from anxiety lack of knowledge about anaesthetic procedures. However, little known the nature during routine visits. The present study 57 authentic visits provides first results on structure content pre‐operative setting using Roter Interaction Analysis System (RIAS)....
BackgroundSince there is sound evidence that communication skills training (CST) programs modify behavior of oncology clinicians, they have been widely implemented over the last decades. However, more recently, certain aspects this criticized.MethodsBased on background, a call to re-launch discussion about future CST led third European consensus meeting in cancer care, organized by Swiss Cancer League. During meeting, which brought together experts field clinical and setting, representatives...
It has been claimed that an increase in the 0.1-Hz component power spectra of heart rate variability indicates increased sympathetic tone. We tested 135 middle-aged unmedicated men (mean age 44 +/- 7 years) with two types mental tasks, a reaction-time test and arithmetic test, to determine whether results were comparable those from tilt tests. Although both tasks significantly blood pressure, same extent as tests, energy band decreased during (from 899 641 482 430; P less than 0.01) yet was...

Journal of Advanced Nursing 66 (10), 2266–2277. Abstract Aim. This paper is a report evaluation the effectiveness nurses. Background. Clinical care patients with cancer increasingly being divided between nurses and physicians, responsible continuity patient care, oncologists choosing explaining basics anti‐cancer...
1. Theoretical and practical considerations suggest that in subjects complaining of fatigue, the absence evident organ dysfunction, an alteration autonomic nervous system might be present as a functional correlate. 2. Autoregressive spectral analysis R-R interval variability from surface ECG, was used healthy control (n = 24, age 45 +/- 4 years) unexplained fatigue 53, 46 9 to obtain quantitative indices state sympathovagal balance, both at rest during mental stimulus (mental arithmetic),...
Objective To compare traditional healers (TH) and Cameroonian representatives of Western medicine (Western providers (WP)) in terms patient characteristics communication patterns during the consultation rural Cameroon. Methods A facility-based comparative study was conducted. Seven TH were compared to eight WP same district. Patients (five per provider) provided detailed socio-demographic data. Recorded consultations analysed with Roter Interaction Analysis System (RIAS). Results similar...
It is essential that medical students are adequately trained in smoking cessation. A web-based tobacco abstinence training program might supplement or replace traditional didactic methods. One-hundred and forty third-year were all provided access to a self-directed learning module on Thereafter, they randomly allocated attend 1 of 4 education approaches: (a) using the same tool, (b) lecture, (c) role playing, (d) supervised interaction with real patients. Success intervention was measured an...
