This book also contains many clinical examples that make the reading more relevant to practice and raise the level of interest.
Many clinical examples, from tricuspid regurgitation to heart failure, from right heart failure to both hypo- and hypervolemia illustrate that any time pressure and volume change within the intrathoracic systemic venous compartment a change also occurs in extrathoracic veins, such as in the intra-abdominal IVC or extra-thoracic internal jugular vein (IJV) [ 7- 10].
Indeed, there are many clinical examples in which apparently sensitive adoptive parents (as judged, for example, by positive relationships with their own biological children) seem to have little impact on the adoptive (or foster) child's problems in attachment and social relationships.
The RM aims to provide a common design for general data that is useful in many clinical settings, for example configurable data fields, units, time-points, user participations, and versioning [ 5].
For example, many clinical trials exclude people with a complex disease or with multiple medical conditions.
For example, many clinical parameters (eg, blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory frequency) were registered automatically in the electronic patient record system, and we cannot guarantee that all registered clinical parameters were always correct because of potential measurement errors.
Haplotypes are more useful than genotypes in many clinical situations, like for example, in the prediction through association of specific mutations that a patient is likely to carry [[ 39] and see below].
For example, many clinical trials have been carried out to investigate the efficacy of drugs for lowering intraocular pressure, such as travoprost, bimatoprost, timolol, and latanoprost, [ 3- 11], and many to investigate the oral diabetes medication for adults with Type-2 diabetes [ 12- 17].
For example, although many clinical or medical terminologies have been created, cancer definitions often overlap and it is not clear which terminology should be used.
This is the reason why many clinical decision-making rules in, for example, emergency settings show low specificity in predicting repetition of self-harm in unselected self-harm populations [ 15].
A classic example is the ongoing trend for many clinical study groups to exclude multi-morbid or elderly participants from their clinical trials.
