#sign.evidence (medical) any objective evidence of the presence of a disorder or disease; "there were no signs of asphixiation"
supertype: #information knowledge acquired through study or experience or instruction
part of: #disease
subtype: #vital_sign__vitalsign sign of life; usually an indicator of a person's general physical condition; "he was still alive but his vital signs were weak"
subtype: #body_temperature__blood_heat__bloodheat temperature of the body; normally 98.6 F or 37 C in humans; usually measured to obtain a quick evaluation of a person's health
subtype: #basal_body_temperature body temperature in the morning before rising or moving about or eating anything
subtype: #blood_pressure__bloodpressure the pressure of the circulating blood against the walls of the blood vessels; results from the systole of the left ventricle of the heart; sometimes measured for a quick evaluation of a person's health; "adult blood pressure is considered normal at 120/80 where the first number is the systolic pressure and the second is the diastolic pressure"
subtype: #systolic_pressure the blood pressure (as measured by a sphygmomanometer) during the contraction of the left ventricle of the heart
subtype: #diastolic_pressure__diastolicpressure the blood pressure (as measured by a sphygmomanometer) after the contraction of the heart while the chambers of the heart refill with blood
subtype: #arterial_pressure the pressure of the circulating blood on the arteries; "arterial pressure is the product of cardiac output and vascular resistance"
subtype: #venous_pressure the pressure exerted on the walls of the veins by the circulating blood
subtype: #pulse_rate__pulserate__pulse__heart_rate__heartrate the rate at which the heart beats; usually measured to obtain a quick evaluation of a person's health
subtype: #femoral_pulse__femoralpulse pulse of the femoral artery (felt in the groin)
subtype: #radial_pulse pulse of the radial artery (felt in the wrist)
subtype: #respiratory_rate__respiratoryrate__rateofrespiration the rate at which a person inhales and exhales; usually measured to obtain a quick evaluation of a person's health
