What are the risk factors for atheroslerosis?
This was my learning issue regarding atherosclerosis. The discussion is only limited to the traditional risk factors as well as the novel ones.

Trivia on Percussion
The following are probably only found in the history books but this is still interesting for me. I wish to share it with you guys.
In 1761, Leopold Auenbrugger, a Viennese physician, published a book proposing "percussion of the human thorax, whereby, according to the character of the particular sounds thence elicited, an opinion is formed of the internal state of that cavity."2 He had observed his father, an innkeeper, use this technique to check the wine levels in his casks. Although his discovery was initially ignored, percussion was reintroduced by Jean-Nicolas Corvisart in early 19th-century France, and became an essential addition to the chest examination until it was mostly supplanted by the chest x-ray.

Temperature-Pulse Relationship
I've always wanted to know, the values used to determine relative bradycardia in a patient. Thankfully, I was able to encounter one article that points to a approximation. I encountered the table while I was reading on atypical pneumonias (so don't be surprised if you might be reading about it).

Good luck in the pulmonology exams Batch 2009-2013!
Temperature-Pulse Relationships (temperature and corresponding pulse [beats/min])
Appropriate Pulse Relative Bradycardia
41.1°C/106°F = 150/min <140/min
40.6°C/105°F = 140/min <130/min
40.0°C/104°F = 130/min <120/min
39.5°C/103°F = 120/min <110/min
38.9°C/102°F = 110/min <100/min
