Sharp pain

Tendinitis is an inflammatory painful tendon disorder which can be caused by quinolones. Typical cases are characterized by acute onset, palpation and sharp pain mostly of one or both Achilles tendons, but other tendons may also be affected. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to support the diagnosis. Estimates for the incidence of quinolone-induced tendinitis range from approximately 1 100 to 1 10,000. The etiology remains unknown, concomitant... 

Patients with chest pressure or heaviness that is provoked by activity and relieved with rest should be assessed for ischemic heart disease. Sharp pain is not a typical symptom of ischemic heart disease. Some patients may experience discomfort in the neck, jaw, shoulder, or arm rather than, or in addition to, the chest. Pain may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or diaphoresis. 

Patients typically describe pain as a sensation of pressure, heaviness, or squeezing in the anterior chest area. Sharp pain is not a typical symptom of IHD. 

It is a sharp pain with a burning quality that may be easily localized. This pain may be abrupt or slow in onset. 

Peripheral nerve functions are not affected equally by local anesthetics. Loss of sympathetic function usually is followed by loss of temperature sensation sensation to pinprick, touch, and deep pressure and last, motor function. This phenomenon is called differential blockade. Differential blockade is the result of a number of factors, including the size of the nerve, the presence and amount of myelin, and the location of particular fibers within a nerve bundle. For conduction to be effectively blocked, the local anesthetic must exert its effects over the distance between several nodes of Ranvier. Since the smallest nerves (C fibers) have no myelin, they can be most easily blocked thus, sympathetic functions often are blocked soon after a local anesthetic is applied to a particular nerve bundle. Small myelinated nerves have correspondingly short distances between nodes of Ranvier and therefore are often blocked next. These nerves subserve temperature and sharp pain sensation. Larger nerves then become blocked, accounting for the loss of function up to and including motor innervation. 

Its action is similar to that of silver nitrate but it causes sharp pain and does not stain the dentine. 

Pain is the first and most important sign of blood stagnation. Different from distending pain due to Qi stagnation, blood stagnation is manifested as a localized, deep, sharp pain. 

Brief History. B.W., a 75-year-old woman, fell at home and experienced a sudden sharp pain in her left hip. She was unable to walk and was taken to a nearby hospital where x-ray examination showed an impacted fracture of the left hip. The patient was alert and oriented at the time of admission. She had a history of arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus, but her medical condition was stable. The patient was relatively obese, and a considerable amount of osteoarthritis was present in both hips. Two days after admission, a total hip arthroplasty was performed under general anesthesia. Meperidine (Demerol) was given intramuscularly as a preoperative sedative. General anesthesia was induced by intravenous administration of thiopental (Pentothal) and sustained by inhalation of halothane (Fluothane). The surgery was completed successfully, and physical therapy was initiated at the patient s bedside on the subsequent day. 

All agonists in this therapeutic group decrease the sensation of painful stimuli, which is their main clinical application. They tend to subdue dull, persistent pain rather than sharp pain, but this difference is to some extent dose dependent. The major difference between the non-opioid analgesics such as aspirin and the opiates is that the former reduce the perception of peripherally mediated pain, by reducing the synthesis of local hormones that activate the pain fibres, whereas the latter attenuate the affective reaction to pain without affecting the perception of pain. This clearly suggests that the site of action of the opiate analgesics is in the central nervous system. 

Chloroform-methanol pain threshold6 — A 0.1 ml solution of equal parts chloroform and methanol (CM) is placed in a plastic well. This mixture rapidly induces sharp pain. 

Harry Mann is the 64-year-old owner of a furniture removal business, Kwik Move. Kwik Move provides a good income, but Harry is ambitious. He is not a patient man his quick temper makes his relationships with employees tricky. He has recently been stressed out by his van driver s frequent, unexplained absences. Harry works 12 hours a day, smokes continually, hasn t had a day off in 30 years and has no time for anyone with problems. On Monday, he arrives at work early after his usual greasy breakfast fry-up and a long wait in traffic. The van driver has not turned up again and Harry is furious. He decides to drive the van and move the client s furniture himself. Arriving at the client s house, Harry soon feels very unwell. He is weak and breathless, has a sharp pain in his chest and nausea two antacid tablets do not help. He moves a couple of packing cases and his chest pain worsens. Fortunately, the house owner insists on taking Harry to the local hospital.

In cases of gynaecomastia, the male mammary gland is enlarged. Within the increased volume of the breast, a firm, circumscribed and relatively well-defined tissue mass can be felt, which is usually sensitive to pressure. Apart from the enlargement of the mammary gland, which causes the patient mental as well as physical distress, spontaneous and sometimes sharp pain occurs. Occasionally, a serous or milk-like secretion is discernible. Gynaecomastia can also be unilateral. It occurs most frequently in alcoholic cirrhosis, (s. fig. 4.10)... 

Local anaesthesia is effected as intracutaneous skin wheal using a thin needle, whereas for bathyanaesthesia a long injection needle is applied. Lidocaine is recommended as an anaesthetic (0.5% or 1.0%). With the continuous injection of anaesthetic, a sharp pain is reached in the peritoneum, where a preperitoneal depot is then placed. 

The subjective symptoms were arbitrarily classified somewhat along the classification of Thorp 19) as symptomatic, irritant, and severe irritant. Symptoms are named symptomatic when the subject experiences the first sensations, such as irritation of the throat and tickling in the nose. When the symptoms become permanent and unpleasant, they are named irritant, as well as when occasional coughing is observed. The symptoms are labeled severe irritant when coughing is produced by deep inspiration, pressure or pain in the chest appears, breathing becomes laborious and more frequent, and a constant sharp pain in the throat is felt. 

Pain information is carried by the largely unmyelinated C fibers, while sharp pain is tramimitted by myelinated A3 fibers. The sen.sitivity of nerve fibers to local anesthetic appears to vary according to the size, anatomical type, and degree of conductance of the nerve fiber. In general, the... 

Argiope The spider will bite if stressed or provoked. Initial symptoms include sharp pain and swelling. Induration with a surrounding erythema can occur. The bite may cause a necrotic lesion, but no systemic symptoms expected. 

Chiracanthium The venom is similar to Loxosceles. The bite initially causes a sharp pain and red wheal formation. Several days later, a crust forms at the site with necrotic tissue underneath. Erythema, pruritus, and pain typically surround the bite site and may take one month to heal. Systemic symptoms are rare, but nausea, anxiety, headache, and abdominal cramps have been reported. 

Phidippus The jumping spider produces a sharp painful bite with redness, pain, edema, and pruritus. The swelling usually subsides within 48 h, but in one report symptoms persisted for 1 week. A small ulcer with eschar may form. No systemic toxicity is expected. 

Cramps Cramps are a sudden, involuntary, muscular contraction that cause sharp pain, often occurring in the leg or shoulder. GM rolls a Dio secretly to determine the amount of Cramps the creature will suffer within the span of the poison s Duration, and can apply them at GM s Discretion. A cramp lasts 1D4 Rounds and a creature suffering from Cramps is considered Checked for gaming purposes. 

Anyone who bites a piece of aluminum foil (such as that used for wrapping candies) in such a way that the foil presses against a dental filling will probably experience a momentary sharp pain. In effect, an electrochemical cell has been created in the mouth, with aluminum (P = -1.66 V) as the anode, the filling as the cathode, and saliva as the electrolyte. Contact between the aluminum foil and the filling short-circuits the cell, causing a weak current to flow between the electrodes. This current stimulates the sensitive nerve of the tooth, causing an unpleasant sensation. 

The clue came from Paris, where another Bulgarian exile, Vladimir Rostov, was living. Like Markov, Rostov was a journalist. When he read of his colleague s death in the newspapers, Rostov recalled how he had felt a sharp pain in his back while riding the Paris Metro some ten days earlier. Rostov too had developed a fever, although in his case it had subsided after three or four days. Now Rostov requested a thorough medical examination. 

The Red Death had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal — the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress, and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half-an-hour". 

Neuralgias Severe sharp pain occurring along the course of a nerve. 

Neuralgias Severe sharp pain occurring along the course of a nerve. It is caused by pressure built up on nerve trunks. 

Such a scenario is not implausible. Think of P and P as slightly different neural net configurations, each of which is nomologically sufficient for the instantiation of the same mental property, say, having a sharp pain in the gut. Its reasonable to think that the world in which we have a P configuration rather than a P configuration, and thus a world in which Af is still instantiateck is a closer world than is one in which there is no Af-instantiation at all.
