IMF-063-02-0001-en	How does translating a vague label such as "collapse" or "weakness" make undifferentiated illness tractable?	Each label can mean several different failed functions, such as syncope, seizure, fall, or fatigue; converting it into a failed function and a timeline defines what must be explained.	Integrated Medical Foundations; chapter 63, TTS module 2; https://theisegoria.github.io/medical-textbook/integrated-medical-foundations-expanded-english.md; module SHA256 at export: 40b0ebe926029bef8aca03d59afba96ab200705860ab32fc748b746fb9813fbe; editorial review pending	imf lang::en chapter::063 module::063-02 review::pending
IMF-063-02-0002-en	Why should the lowest or most abnormal pre-intervention state be recorded when reliable?	Oxygen, prehospital fluid, antipyretic, naloxone, or spontaneous recovery can normalise the numbers without removing the cause.

IMF-063-02-0003-en	How is compensated shock recognised when blood pressure is normal, and why is heart rate unreliable in some patients?	Integrate tachycardia, narrow pulse pressure, cold sweat, delayed capillary refill, restlessness, oliguria, lactate trend, and orthostatic symptoms; beta-blockers or a pacemaker prevent tachycardia.	Integrated Medical Foundations; chapter 63, TTS module 2; https://theisegoria.github.io/medical-textbook/integrated-medical-foundations-expanded-english.md; module SHA256 at export: 40b0ebe926029bef8aca03d59afba96ab200705860ab32fc748b746fb9813fbe; editorial review pending	imf lang::en chapter::063 module::063-02 review::pending
IMF-063-02-0004-en	Why does a patient feel a chill while fever is rising, and what happens when the set point falls?	Cytokines raise the hypothalamic set point, so vasoconstriction and shivering raise core temperature and create the chill; when the set point falls, vasodilation and sweating occur.	Integrated Medical Foundations; chapter 63, TTS module 2; https://theisegoria.github.io/medical-textbook/integrated-medical-foundations-expanded-english.md; module SHA256 at export: 40b0ebe926029bef8aca03d59afba96ab200705860ab32fc748b746fb9813fbe; editorial review pending	imf lang::en chapter::063 module::063-02 review::pending
IMF-063-02-0005-en	Why should blood cultures and empirical antibiotics be used proportionately rather than reflexively?	Contaminated or low-volume cultures create harm, so cultures suit sepsis, endocarditis, and selected focal syndromes; antibiotics match infection probability and consequence of delay, with daily reassessment.	Integrated Medical Foundations; chapter 63, TTS module 2; https://theisegoria.github.io/medical-textbook/integrated-medical-foundations-expanded-english.md; module SHA256 at export: 40b0ebe926029bef8aca03d59afba96ab200705860ab32fc748b746fb9813fbe; editorial review pending	imf lang::en chapter::063 module::063-02 review::pending
IMF-063-02-0006-en	Why may syncope in an older person be reported as a simple fall, and which clues suggest it?	There may be no memory of the moment before the faint; facial or occipital injury and absence of a protective reaction are useful clues.	Integrated Medical Foundations; chapter 63, TTS module 2; https://theisegoria.github.io/medical-textbook/integrated-medical-foundations-expanded-english.md; module SHA256 at export: 40b0ebe926029bef8aca03d59afba96ab200705860ab32fc748b746fb9813fbe; editorial review pending	imf lang::en chapter::063 module::063-02 review::pending
IMF-063-02-0007-en	On standing, how does the heart-rate response to a fall in pressure point to the mechanism?	A fall with appropriate tachycardia suggests volume loss or venous pooling; a disproportionately small heart-rate response suggests autonomic failure or rate-limiting medication.	Integrated Medical Foundations; chapter 63, TTS module 2; https://theisegoria.github.io/medical-textbook/integrated-medical-foundations-expanded-english.md; module SHA256 at export: 40b0ebe926029bef8aca03d59afba96ab200705860ab32fc748b746fb9813fbe; editorial review pending	imf lang::en chapter::063 module::063-02 review::pending
IMF-063-02-0008-en	In dizziness, why must "triggered by movement" be distinguished from "worsened by movement"?	Only movement that initiates an otherwise absent episode points to a triggered pattern; symptoms merely worsened by movement occur in both central and peripheral disease.	Integrated Medical Foundations; chapter 63, TTS module 2; https://theisegoria.github.io/medical-textbook/integrated-medical-foundations-expanded-english.md; module SHA256 at export: 40b0ebe926029bef8aca03d59afba96ab200705860ab32fc748b746fb9813fbe; editorial review pending	imf lang::en chapter::063 module::063-02 review::pending
IMF-063-02-0009-en	How do upper and lower motor-neuron weakness differ on examination?	Upper motor-neuron disease gives a pyramidal pattern, brisk reflexes, and pathological plantar response; lower motor-neuron disease gives reduced tone, atrophy, fasciculation, and depressed reflexes.	Integrated Medical Foundations; chapter 63, TTS module 2; https://theisegoria.github.io/medical-textbook/integrated-medical-foundations-expanded-english.md; module SHA256 at export: 40b0ebe926029bef8aca03d59afba96ab200705860ab32fc748b746fb9813fbe; editorial review pending	imf lang::en chapter::063 module::063-02 review::pending
IMF-063-02-0010-en	Why is respiratory muscle measurement read as a trend in the same position and technique rather than as a single value?	Poor effort, facial weakness, or mouthpiece leak give falsely low readings, while a rapidly fatiguing patient can fall steeply from a near-normal first value.	Integrated Medical Foundations; chapter 63, TTS module 2; https://theisegoria.github.io/medical-textbook/integrated-medical-foundations-expanded-english.md; module SHA256 at export: 40b0ebe926029bef8aca03d59afba96ab200705860ab32fc748b746fb9813fbe; editorial review pending	imf lang::en chapter::063 module::063-02 review::pending
IMF-063-02-0011-en	Why is suspected adrenal crisis treated before definitive cortisol results?	It causes weakness, vomiting, hypotension, sodium and potassium change, and hypoglycaemia, which cannot wait for confirmation.	Integrated Medical Foundations; chapter 63, TTS module 2; https://theisegoria.github.io/medical-textbook/integrated-medical-foundations-expanded-english.md; module SHA256 at export: 40b0ebe926029bef8aca03d59afba96ab200705860ab32fc748b746fb9813fbe; editorial review pending	imf lang::en chapter::063 module::063-02 review::pending
IMF-063-02-0012-en	Why must the expected result be predicted before a fluid trial or other observation manoeuvre is interpreted?	Responses are often nonspecific: symptom improvement after fluid, fever settling after antipyretic, or no recurrence during a short stay can mislead without a prior prediction.	Integrated Medical Foundations; chapter 63, TTS module 2; https://theisegoria.github.io/medical-textbook/integrated-medical-foundations-expanded-english.md; module SHA256 at export: 40b0ebe926029bef8aca03d59afba96ab200705860ab32fc748b746fb9813fbe; editorial review pending	imf lang::en chapter::063 module::063-02 review::pending
IMF-063-02-0013-en	Why is each pending culture, re-reported image, or prolonged monitor result assigned a responsible person and contact deadline?	So that responsibility for an abnormal result is not transferred to the patient alone; a safety net is not a vague advice to return if worse.	Integrated Medical Foundations; chapter 63, TTS module 2; https://theisegoria.github.io/medical-textbook/integrated-medical-foundations-expanded-english.md; module SHA256 at export: 40b0ebe926029bef8aca03d59afba96ab200705860ab32fc748b746fb9813fbe; editorial review pending	imf lang::en chapter::063 module::063-02 review::pending
IMF-063-02-0014-en	Why is calibrated diagnostic uncertainty safer than false precision?	False precision converts fever, dizziness, collapse, or weakness into a premature label that stops observation before physiology declares itself.
