Why do we use Valsalva probe?
Rubbing of pleural surfaces -> stop breathing: Rubbing disappears = pleuropericardial/pleuropleural
Bone clinical examination:
Physical examination -> General inspection, palpation (pain, consistency, crepitation, movement, temperature), percussion.
Symptoms of a generalised seizure:
Diffused origin within cortex, thalamus, brainstem -> So all muscles effected and ‘general’ symptoms seen -> Excitation or loss of consciousness
