Examination of the body

ECG in pathology

The electrical activity of the atria is evaluated by the tooth P. This prong is normally positive (directed upwards) in most leads (except for the aVR lead).

Diagnosis of hearing loss in children

Identifying hearing loss and deafness in an adult is easy enough. Most of the methods used by them are based on the respondent's answers to the sounds of certain tones and frequencies, as well as speech, delivered by the tuning fork or through the headphones. The curve derived from these subjective responses characterizes the state of the auditory function.

Anoscopy

Anoscopy - examination of the anal canal and lower ampullar rectus with rectal mirrors - is of great importance for detecting hemorrhoids, differentiating true polyps from hypertrophied anal papillae.

Cervical (suboccipital) puncture

Cervical or suboccipital puncture can be used in the presence of contraindications to the usual lumbar puncture (for example, in the infectious process in the lumbar region).

Hearing test

When examining deafness, determine the side of hearing loss, its degree and cause. At inspection of such patient it is necessary to solve at least two questions: whether this deafness is curable or not and whether it is a symptom of some other lesion (for example, neuroma of the auditory nerve).

Ear research

The cartilage of the auricle develops from six tubercles. If its parts do not merge densely with each other, fistulas (usually a small fistula in front of the goat) or additional ears (cartilaginous bodies located between the corner of the mouth and the goat) can form.

Eye examination

First of all, pay attention, are the eyes the same size? Look, whether the eyelids are symmetrical and whether their retraction is normal when looking up. Ptosis is the descent of the upper eyelid and the absence of normal retraction when looking up.

Joint diagnostics

The examination (diagnosis) of the joints is carried out at a different position of the patient (standing, sitting, lying, as well as walking), while observing a certain order.

Bone examination

When examining the bone system (bones), first of all pay attention to the patient's complaints. So, sharp, suddenly appeared pains after a trauma can testify about fractures of bones; dull, gradually increasing pain in the bones are often associated with some kind of inflammatory process; persistent, debilitating, often clearly localized pains occur with metastases in the bones of malignant tumors.

Investigation of the neuropsychic sphere

A full-fledged study of the patient's neuropsychic status can be carried out only if the doctor knows the symptomatology of nervous and mental illnesses well, knows well the special research methods used in neurology and psychiatry.
