Presentation
METHODS: The clinical, laboratory, radiologic, and pathologic results are presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Pain
One study in children with recurring abdominal pain showed that stress reduced their tolerance for that pain, and in people with chronic pain, pain levels spike during periods of stress. [elemental.medium.com]
Chronic pain in this group must be carefully evaluated, and radiographs should be obtained for diagnosis and early treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Also, get emergency help immediately if you have chest pain, especially if you also have shortness of breath, jaw or back pain, pain radiating into your shoulder and arm, sweating, dizziness, or nausea. [mayoclinic.org]
Tight muscles cause headaches, back and shoulder pain, and body aches. Over time, this can set off an unhealthy cycle as you stop exercising and turn to pain medication for relief. [stress.org]
- Fatigue
Fatigue and Overwork - This kind of stress builds up over a long time and can take a hard toll on your body. It can be caused by working too much or too hard at your job(s), school, or home. [mtstcil.org]
ACTU Worksite Fact sheet on fatigue, stress and injury in the workplace. WorkSafe Victoria Information and advice about health and safety at work. [youthcentral.vic.gov.au]

- Collapse
[…] disease causation d : a state resulting from a stress especially : one of bodily or mental tension resulting from factors that tend to alter an existent equilibrium job-related stress e : strain, pressure the environment is under stress to the point of collapse [merriam-webster.com]
The body’s resistance to stress is gradually reduced and collapses as the immune system becomes ineffective. [humanstress.ca]
Financial markets haven't seen conditions deteriorate this quickly since the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, and the situation is only worsening, Bloomberg reported Monday. [markets.businessinsider.com]

- Fishing
In the former category, patients can enjoy avocados, olives, dark chocolate, deep-sea fish, all nuts and all seeds. [healio.com]

- Surgical Procedure
BACKGROUND: Ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates a stoma that aims to construct a new path for the output of feces or urine. The relationship of oxidative stress (OxS) markers in patients with ostomy is still poorly described. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Additional issues of Clinical Importance It is important to consider struma ovarii in a woman with a proposed laparotomy because a thyroid crisis can be precipitated following the surgical procedure. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]
Surgical procedures such as suction lipectomy, hysterectomy, vaginal delivery, bunionectomy and bone pinning provide a portal of entry in some cases. [antimicrobe.org]
Respiratoric
- Aspiration
The patient was subsequently treated for pneumonia after leaving the ICU but suffered from repetitive aspiration pneumonia and was finally transferred to another hospital at hospital day 111. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The combined results of the ultrasound and PET scan prompted referral for an ultrasound guided aspiration biopsy. [thyroidresearchjournal.biomedcentral.com]
Hence, fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from the liver nodule was planned. FNAC liver showed blood mixed aspirate, no malignancy. The decision for surgery was taken for confirmation of diagnosis and debulking of the tumor. [jmidlifehealth.org]
Based on these findings, fine needle aspiration of the nodule was requested. The cytological diagnosis was follicular tumor. Left hemithyroidectomy and isthmectomy were performed. [elsevier.es]
Others relied on positive culture results from joint fluid aspiration or intraoperative tissue samples (10,13,16,18,19,21,24,27,28). [aoj.amegroups.com]
Gastrointestinal
- Diarrhea
Developing diarrhea is fairly common while on, or after taking, antibiotics, but in only a few cases will that diarrhea be caused by C.diff. If your diarrhea is very severe, do not delay getting medical care. [cdc.gov]
The "bad" bacteria that causes diarrhea C. diff is the most important cause of infectious diarrhea in the United States, but it's a bit player on the long roster of intestinal bacteria. [health.harvard.edu]
Clostridium difficile toxin is most commonly associated with antibiotic-induced diarrhea [1, 2]. [academic.oup.com]
Testing for C. difficile is unnecessary if you're not having diarrhea or watery stools, and isn't helpful for follow-up treatment. If you aren't having diarrhea, stool shouldn't be tested for C. difficile. [mayoclinic.org]
Watery diarrhea that happens several times a day is one of many signs of a C. diff infection. You can have diarrhea and abdominal cramping even with a mild infection. If you have C. diff, your diarrhea will have a very strong odor. [webmd.com]

- Sweating
Because of night sweats, the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors doses were modified. Night sweats persisted, and the patient was re-evaluated for other potential etiologies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
But chronic stress can cause people to sweat more in general — and for menopausal women, stress can lead to more severe hot flashes. [elemental.medium.com]
