A supraventricular arrhythmia characterized by uncoordinated atrial myocardium activation due to multiple reentry circuits with consequent deterioration of atrial mechanical function. Instead of intermittently contracting, the atria quiver continuously in a chaotic pattern, causing a totally irregular, often tachycardia ventricular rate. On the ECG it is described by the replacement of consistent P waves by rapid oscillations or fibrillatory waves that vary in size, shape, and timing, associated with an irregular, frequently rapid ventricular response when atrioventricular conduction is intact.

DECREASED PEAK EXPIRATORY FLOWRATE
FLOWRATE, DECREASED PEAK EXPIRATORY
A decrease of the greatest rate of flow that can be achieved during forced expiration beginning with the lungs fully inflated.
Decreased expiratory peak flow measurement achieved during forced expiration that primarily reflects changes in upper airway conductance and may be of limited use in evaluation of changes in peripheral airway conductance. Evaluation of peak flow performance is subjective, and, therefore, acceptability criteria are lacking. Because the maneuver is effort and volume dependent, the patient must be encouraged to perform as vigorously as clinically feasible. The results of subjective evaluation may be difficult to interpret consistently. A validated dyspnea rating scale may be useful.

The earliest of these symptoms are nausea, fatigue, vomiting, and diarrhea, which may be followed by epilation, hemorrhage, inflammation of the mouth and throat, and general loss of energy. In severe cases, where the radiation exposure has been approximately 1000 Rad (10 gray) or more, death may occur within two to four weeks.

DEPRESSION, ST SEGMENT
The normal ST segment of the EKG tracing begins at the isoelectric line, is typically isoelectric (flat), extending from the end of the S wave and curving gradually upward to the beginning of the T wave. Causes of ST segment depression include myocardial ischemia, digoxin effect, ventricular hypertrophy, acute posterior myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolus, left bundle branch block.

PATIENT PROBLEM/MEDICAL PROBLEM
ELEVATION, ST SEGMENT
Evaluation of the interval from the end of ventricular depolarization to the onset of the T wave; it is usually isoelectric in normal subjects.
EKG ST segment elevation is usually attributed to impending infarction, but can also be due to pericarditis or vasospastic (variant) angina and early repolarization. In some healthy young adults, a form of ST elevation can be normal. The height of the ST segment is measured at a point 2 boxes after the end of the QRS complex. ST segment elevation is considered significant if it exceeds 1 mm in a limb lead or 2 mm in a precordial lead.

CARDIAC DEATH, SUDDEN
DEATH, SUDDEN CARDIAC
An unexpected natural death from a cardiac cause within a short time period, generally less than 1 hour from the onset of symptoms, in a person without any prior condition that would appear fatal. SCD is most likely to occur in a patient with an underlying cardiac abnormality, whether known or not; approximately 70% of SCDs are caused by coronary heart disease. A loss of heart function is often attributed to a cardiac arrhythmia, but classifications based on clinical circumstances cannot be considered definitive.

SYNDROME, UVEITIS-GLAUCOMA-HYPHEMA (UGH)
UVEITIS-GLAUCOMA-HYPHEMA (UGH) SYNDROME
For complications that occur secondary to intraocular lens implantation in the anterior chamber; caused by rubbing of the lens loop (haptics).
Clinical triad of uveitis, glaucoma, and hyphema (UGH), especially associated with the early anterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL).Glaucoma is believed to be caused by movement of the IOL against the iris causing release of inflammatory and red blood cell debris, which obstruct the trabecular meshwork. The haptic also may cause direct damage to the trabecular meshwork contributing to the glaucoma. Incidence of UGH is dependent on both surgical methodology applied in the cataract population and type of IOL used. UGH is particularly common if metal clip lenses have been used. Components of the condition may be reversed if the offending IOL is removed before permanent damage has occurred.
