RESULTS AND INTERPRETATION

Electro Scan Gram (ESG)

The Electro Scan Gram (ESG) is a graph of the conductivity valuesmeasured in 3 steps by the EIS system

The EIS system uses a software to control coordinate and direct three specific pre-programmed sequences (1 AC amp 2 DC) of brief barely perceptible current pulses throughan array of 6 symmetrically placed surface electrodes left amp right forehead left amp right hands(palms) and left amp right feet (soles)This 6-electrode array forms 22 electrode pairs or ldquovolumesrdquo (see Table 2 on the folderldquobackground of EIS system) The term ldquovolumerdquo refers to the 3-dimensional anatomicalspace that lies between each electrode pair

The conductivity values measuring by EIS system will be displayed in numerical forms on ascale of +100 to ndash 100 for each of the 22 volumes We call this graphic an Electro Scan Gramor ESGInitially the conductivity (C) is in numerical forms on a scale from 0 to +100 (absolutevalues)

These absolute values for conductivity are converted to the +100 to -100 ESG scale by thedetermination of 2 quantities items 0 N and item 0 A

Item 0 N

Item 0 for the measurement N is determined by an empirically-derived coefficient related tothe age height weight and the gender of the subjectItem 0 AItem 0 for the measurement A is determined by the arithmetic average of measurements ofabsolute values

Table 1 EIS Procedure Involves 3 Consecutive Pulse Sequences

Measurement 1 The AC pulse sequence occurs first Each of the 6 electrodes pairs(from this point on called ldquovolumesrdquo) receives a 1 second AC pulse of electricity at 5 Hz50 kHz and 200 KHz frequency at le 800 microA current This 1 second AC pulse has 2purposes The first is to determine body composition (BIA) much like the typicalcommercial AC BIM devices The second reason to start with the AC pulse is that it

has been observed that DC impedance readings have less noise when preceded by anAC pulse32

The 2 sets of DC pulse sequences are identical in tension at 128 V DCHowever the1st DC set sends 1-second duration pulse of electricity through each of the22 volumes of the sequence while the 2nd DC set sends a 3-second duration electricpulseThe DC voltage is measured at each volumersquos cathode is then fed into the PC foranalysis For practical reasons the voltage data is expressed as ldquoconductivityrdquo which isthe inverse of electrical resistance The reason there are 2 DC sets of pulse sequences isto provide the maximum and the minimum conductivity values for each tissue volumeThe 1st DC set generates the maximum conductivity values because a 1-second electricpulse is too brief a time to permit significant electrical current decay to occurMeasurement 2 This 1st DC set is used to determine the interstitial conductivity valuesand the results for the modelingMeasurement 3 In contrast after 3 seconds substantial loss of electrical energy hasoccurred The electrical pulse energy weakens at a rate of 1t where t = time (Cottrellequation or chronoamperometry)This 2nd DC set is used to determine interstitial biochemical values

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

Factors of variationThe conductivity (and the results of physiologic tissue parameters) can be modified by thefactors of this table 16 and must be included for results interpretation Some of these factorsare contraindications for the calculation of body composition

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

RESULTS AND INTERPRETATION

Electro Scan Gram (ESG)

The Electro Scan Gram (ESG) is a graph of the conductivity valuesmeasured in 3 steps by the EIS system

The EIS system uses a software to control coordinate and direct three specific pre-programmed sequences (1 AC amp 2 DC) of brief barely perceptible current pulses throughan array of 6 symmetrically placed surface electrodes left amp right forehead left amp right hands(palms) and left amp right feet (soles)This 6-electrode array forms 22 electrode pairs or ldquovolumesrdquo (see Table 2 on the folderldquobackground of EIS system) The term ldquovolumerdquo refers to the 3-dimensional anatomicalspace that lies between each electrode pair

The conductivity values measuring by EIS system will be displayed in numerical forms on ascale of +100 to ndash 100 for each of the 22 volumes We call this graphic an Electro Scan Gramor ESGInitially the conductivity (C) is in numerical forms on a scale from 0 to +100 (absolutevalues)

These absolute values for conductivity are converted to the +100 to -100 ESG scale by thedetermination of 2 quantities items 0 N and item 0 A

Item 0 N

Item 0 for the measurement N is determined by an empirically-derived coefficient related tothe age height weight and the gender of the subjectItem 0 AItem 0 for the measurement A is determined by the arithmetic average of measurements ofabsolute values

Table 1 EIS Procedure Involves 3 Consecutive Pulse Sequences

Measurement 1 The AC pulse sequence occurs first Each of the 6 electrodes pairs(from this point on called ldquovolumesrdquo) receives a 1 second AC pulse of electricity at 5 Hz50 kHz and 200 KHz frequency at le 800 microA current This 1 second AC pulse has 2purposes The first is to determine body composition (BIA) much like the typicalcommercial AC BIM devices The second reason to start with the AC pulse is that it

has been observed that DC impedance readings have less noise when preceded by anAC pulse32

The 2 sets of DC pulse sequences are identical in tension at 128 V DCHowever the1st DC set sends 1-second duration pulse of electricity through each of the22 volumes of the sequence while the 2nd DC set sends a 3-second duration electricpulseThe DC voltage is measured at each volumersquos cathode is then fed into the PC foranalysis For practical reasons the voltage data is expressed as ldquoconductivityrdquo which isthe inverse of electrical resistance The reason there are 2 DC sets of pulse sequences isto provide the maximum and the minimum conductivity values for each tissue volumeThe 1st DC set generates the maximum conductivity values because a 1-second electricpulse is too brief a time to permit significant electrical current decay to occurMeasurement 2 This 1st DC set is used to determine the interstitial conductivity valuesand the results for the modelingMeasurement 3 In contrast after 3 seconds substantial loss of electrical energy hasoccurred The electrical pulse energy weakens at a rate of 1t where t = time (Cottrellequation or chronoamperometry)This 2nd DC set is used to determine interstitial biochemical values

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

has been observed that DC impedance readings have less noise when preceded by anAC pulse32

The 2 sets of DC pulse sequences are identical in tension at 128 V DCHowever the1st DC set sends 1-second duration pulse of electricity through each of the22 volumes of the sequence while the 2nd DC set sends a 3-second duration electricpulseThe DC voltage is measured at each volumersquos cathode is then fed into the PC foranalysis For practical reasons the voltage data is expressed as ldquoconductivityrdquo which isthe inverse of electrical resistance The reason there are 2 DC sets of pulse sequences isto provide the maximum and the minimum conductivity values for each tissue volumeThe 1st DC set generates the maximum conductivity values because a 1-second electricpulse is too brief a time to permit significant electrical current decay to occurMeasurement 2 This 1st DC set is used to determine the interstitial conductivity valuesand the results for the modelingMeasurement 3 In contrast after 3 seconds substantial loss of electrical energy hasoccurred The electrical pulse energy weakens at a rate of 1t where t = time (Cottrellequation or chronoamperometry)This 2nd DC set is used to determine interstitial biochemical values

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

completely the true results for example the hyponatremia of dilutionSo the results of interstitial ionograms should be different from blood ionogram (in particularthe natremia) and are complementaryInterstitial values interpretationPhosphatesIncrease Possibility of Hypoparathyroidism Hypovitaminose D PancreatitisHypomagnesaemia Diarrhoea Tetania Cutaneous affectionsDecrease Hyperparathyroidism Bone affections Osteolysis Hypervitaminose DPotassiumDecrease Possibility of Hyper insulinaemia Hyperthyroidism Interstitial nephropathy

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

has been observed that DC impedance readings have less noise when preceded by anAC pulse32

The 2 sets of DC pulse sequences are identical in tension at 128 V DCHowever the1st DC set sends 1-second duration pulse of electricity through each of the22 volumes of the sequence while the 2nd DC set sends a 3-second duration electricpulseThe DC voltage is measured at each volumersquos cathode is then fed into the PC foranalysis For practical reasons the voltage data is expressed as ldquoconductivityrdquo which isthe inverse of electrical resistance The reason there are 2 DC sets of pulse sequences isto provide the maximum and the minimum conductivity values for each tissue volumeThe 1st DC set generates the maximum conductivity values because a 1-second electricpulse is too brief a time to permit significant electrical current decay to occurMeasurement 2 This 1st DC set is used to determine the interstitial conductivity valuesand the results for the modelingMeasurement 3 In contrast after 3 seconds substantial loss of electrical energy hasoccurred The electrical pulse energy weakens at a rate of 1t where t = time (Cottrellequation or chronoamperometry)This 2nd DC set is used to determine interstitial biochemical values

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

26

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

completely the true results for example the hyponatremia of dilutionSo the results of interstitial ionograms should be different from blood ionogram (in particularthe natremia) and are complementaryInterstitial values interpretationPhosphatesIncrease Possibility of Hypoparathyroidism Hypovitaminose D PancreatitisHypomagnesaemia Diarrhoea Tetania Cutaneous affectionsDecrease Hyperparathyroidism Bone affections Osteolysis Hypervitaminose DPotassiumDecrease Possibility of Hyper insulinaemia Hyperthyroidism Interstitial nephropathy

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Chromatology conventions and scale of valuesThe measurement of conductivity on the level of the localized organs makes it possible tocarry out modeling images according to a chromatology corresponding to the measurement ofconductivity

Scale of colours used for conductivities The colour on the left corresponds to a nullconductivity (min=0) The colour on the right has the most significant conductivity for theimage consideredIn all the modeling images one represents the value of conductivity treated according to avalue between - 100+100

In all the modeling imagesRun the cursor over the images at the top of the modeling window you will see the value (inscale +100-100) of the organs corresponding to the conductivity (see chromatology)Right clicking with the mouse on any organ will visualize the corresponding parameterslinked with the conductivity of this organ

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

completely the true results for example the hyponatremia of dilutionSo the results of interstitial ionograms should be different from blood ionogram (in particularthe natremia) and are complementaryInterstitial values interpretationPhosphatesIncrease Possibility of Hypoparathyroidism Hypovitaminose D PancreatitisHypomagnesaemia Diarrhoea Tetania Cutaneous affectionsDecrease Hyperparathyroidism Bone affections Osteolysis Hypervitaminose DPotassiumDecrease Possibility of Hyper insulinaemia Hyperthyroidism Interstitial nephropathy

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

completely the true results for example the hyponatremia of dilutionSo the results of interstitial ionograms should be different from blood ionogram (in particularthe natremia) and are complementaryInterstitial values interpretationPhosphatesIncrease Possibility of Hypoparathyroidism Hypovitaminose D PancreatitisHypomagnesaemia Diarrhoea Tetania Cutaneous affectionsDecrease Hyperparathyroidism Bone affections Osteolysis Hypervitaminose DPotassiumDecrease Possibility of Hyper insulinaemia Hyperthyroidism Interstitial nephropathy

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

completely the true results for example the hyponatremia of dilutionSo the results of interstitial ionograms should be different from blood ionogram (in particularthe natremia) and are complementaryInterstitial values interpretationPhosphatesIncrease Possibility of Hypoparathyroidism Hypovitaminose D PancreatitisHypomagnesaemia Diarrhoea Tetania Cutaneous affectionsDecrease Hyperparathyroidism Bone affections Osteolysis Hypervitaminose DPotassiumDecrease Possibility of Hyper insulinaemia Hyperthyroidism Interstitial nephropathy

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

26

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

completely the true results for example the hyponatremia of dilutionSo the results of interstitial ionograms should be different from blood ionogram (in particularthe natremia) and are complementaryInterstitial values interpretationPhosphatesIncrease Possibility of Hypoparathyroidism Hypovitaminose D PancreatitisHypomagnesaemia Diarrhoea Tetania Cutaneous affectionsDecrease Hyperparathyroidism Bone affections Osteolysis Hypervitaminose DPotassiumDecrease Possibility of Hyper insulinaemia Hyperthyroidism Interstitial nephropathy

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

26

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

completely the true results for example the hyponatremia of dilutionSo the results of interstitial ionograms should be different from blood ionogram (in particularthe natremia) and are complementaryInterstitial values interpretationPhosphatesIncrease Possibility of Hypoparathyroidism Hypovitaminose D PancreatitisHypomagnesaemia Diarrhoea Tetania Cutaneous affectionsDecrease Hyperparathyroidism Bone affections Osteolysis Hypervitaminose DPotassiumDecrease Possibility of Hyper insulinaemia Hyperthyroidism Interstitial nephropathy

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

26

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

completely the true results for example the hyponatremia of dilutionSo the results of interstitial ionograms should be different from blood ionogram (in particularthe natremia) and are complementaryInterstitial values interpretationPhosphatesIncrease Possibility of Hypoparathyroidism Hypovitaminose D PancreatitisHypomagnesaemia Diarrhoea Tetania Cutaneous affectionsDecrease Hyperparathyroidism Bone affections Osteolysis Hypervitaminose DPotassiumDecrease Possibility of Hyper insulinaemia Hyperthyroidism Interstitial nephropathy

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

26

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

completely the true results for example the hyponatremia of dilutionSo the results of interstitial ionograms should be different from blood ionogram (in particularthe natremia) and are complementaryInterstitial values interpretationPhosphatesIncrease Possibility of Hypoparathyroidism Hypovitaminose D PancreatitisHypomagnesaemia Diarrhoea Tetania Cutaneous affectionsDecrease Hyperparathyroidism Bone affections Osteolysis Hypervitaminose DPotassiumDecrease Possibility of Hyper insulinaemia Hyperthyroidism Interstitial nephropathy

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

26

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

completely the true results for example the hyponatremia of dilutionSo the results of interstitial ionograms should be different from blood ionogram (in particularthe natremia) and are complementaryInterstitial values interpretationPhosphatesIncrease Possibility of Hypoparathyroidism Hypovitaminose D PancreatitisHypomagnesaemia Diarrhoea Tetania Cutaneous affectionsDecrease Hyperparathyroidism Bone affections Osteolysis Hypervitaminose DPotassiumDecrease Possibility of Hyper insulinaemia Hyperthyroidism Interstitial nephropathy

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

completely the true results for example the hyponatremia of dilutionSo the results of interstitial ionograms should be different from blood ionogram (in particularthe natremia) and are complementaryInterstitial values interpretationPhosphatesIncrease Possibility of Hypoparathyroidism Hypovitaminose D PancreatitisHypomagnesaemia Diarrhoea Tetania Cutaneous affectionsDecrease Hyperparathyroidism Bone affections Osteolysis Hypervitaminose DPotassiumDecrease Possibility of Hyper insulinaemia Hyperthyroidism Interstitial nephropathy

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

26

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

completely the true results for example the hyponatremia of dilutionSo the results of interstitial ionograms should be different from blood ionogram (in particularthe natremia) and are complementaryInterstitial values interpretationPhosphatesIncrease Possibility of Hypoparathyroidism Hypovitaminose D PancreatitisHypomagnesaemia Diarrhoea Tetania Cutaneous affectionsDecrease Hyperparathyroidism Bone affections Osteolysis Hypervitaminose DPotassiumDecrease Possibility of Hyper insulinaemia Hyperthyroidism Interstitial nephropathy

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

26

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

completely the true results for example the hyponatremia of dilutionSo the results of interstitial ionograms should be different from blood ionogram (in particularthe natremia) and are complementaryInterstitial values interpretationPhosphatesIncrease Possibility of Hypoparathyroidism Hypovitaminose D PancreatitisHypomagnesaemia Diarrhoea Tetania Cutaneous affectionsDecrease Hyperparathyroidism Bone affections Osteolysis Hypervitaminose DPotassiumDecrease Possibility of Hyper insulinaemia Hyperthyroidism Interstitial nephropathy

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Protocol of use of the biofeedback program1 To take a dynamic examination2 To register a new visit the patient is in contact with the electrodes face hands and feet toclick on icon BFEThe system sends a variable frequency (between 1000 Hz and 50 KHz) positive or negative(polarity) according to the value of volume and alternatively on 22 volumes into positive ornegative according to the value of volume in the following sequence5 6 7 8 19 20 21 22 11 12 2 4 15 17 1 3 16 18 9 10The process lasts approximately 3 minutes

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

26

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

completely the true results for example the hyponatremia of dilutionSo the results of interstitial ionograms should be different from blood ionogram (in particularthe natremia) and are complementaryInterstitial values interpretationPhosphatesIncrease Possibility of Hypoparathyroidism Hypovitaminose D PancreatitisHypomagnesaemia Diarrhoea Tetania Cutaneous affectionsDecrease Hyperparathyroidism Bone affections Osteolysis Hypervitaminose DPotassiumDecrease Possibility of Hyper insulinaemia Hyperthyroidism Interstitial nephropathy

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

26

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

completely the true results for example the hyponatremia of dilutionSo the results of interstitial ionograms should be different from blood ionogram (in particularthe natremia) and are complementaryInterstitial values interpretationPhosphatesIncrease Possibility of Hypoparathyroidism Hypovitaminose D PancreatitisHypomagnesaemia Diarrhoea Tetania Cutaneous affectionsDecrease Hyperparathyroidism Bone affections Osteolysis Hypervitaminose DPotassiumDecrease Possibility of Hyper insulinaemia Hyperthyroidism Interstitial nephropathy

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Help in interpretation of the Davenport Diagram

The EIS davenport Diagram is an adaptation of the original Diagram made by Davenport 50years ago Originally this diagram was made with the data from arterial bloodIt was used in hospital for arterial blood gases results and for the patient under anaesthesiaThe value of arterial blood gases analysis is the diagnosis of renal failure or respiratoryinsufficientlyTherefore in the medical office this examination is very rarely utilizedBecause there is are no buffers in interstitial fluid (no carbonic anhydrase from red cells andvery low protein concentrations) the acid base balance depends predominently upon the cellsactivity (mitochondria ATP production) Useage of the interstitial values in the DavenportDiagram will allow relatively early detection of dysfunctions disorders or diseases andgreatly changes the benefits of using this Diagram

Our patient databases from clinical trials were examined with the interstitial DavenportDiagram with the following resultsPatients not undergoing under any drugs

1 On the left of the diagram respiratory acidosis Cardiovascular disorders or diseases Diabetes II Renal disorder Hyperthyroidism Inflammation or germs infections

2 On the right down metabolic acidosis Cancers Renal failure Diabetes I

3 On the right of the diagram Respiratory alkalosis Hypothyroidism

These results are not available for making a diagnosis because they havevery high specificity but not low sensibility

The benefits of the Davenport Diagram is the therapeutic follow up (see thefolder clinical applications)

26

Interstitial IonogramsThese values are measured in interstitial fluid with the chronoamperometry method (Cottrellequation) (See clinical tests 2004 MARFINO in wwwldteckcom)

Help in interpretation in interstitial ionogramsThe blood ionogram (sample in capillary) is rarely regulated in medical office the mainindication will be the renal disordersThe reason will be the extreme variability of the results if there is not renal failure or deepmetabolic acidosis or alkalosis (patients in hospital)The interstitial fluid ionogram

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is not under the dependence of the dilution (intra and extra cellular) which can change

completely the true results for example the hyponatremia of dilutionSo the results of interstitial ionograms should be different from blood ionogram (in particularthe natremia) and are complementaryInterstitial values interpretationPhosphatesIncrease Possibility of Hypoparathyroidism Hypovitaminose D PancreatitisHypomagnesaemia Diarrhoea Tetania Cutaneous affectionsDecrease Hyperparathyroidism Bone affections Osteolysis Hypervitaminose DPotassiumDecrease Possibility of Hyper insulinaemia Hyperthyroidism Interstitial nephropathy

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Estimation of interstitial Hormonal assessmentThese values are an estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment related to the valuesof endocrine organs in the modeling with a scale -60+60 with reference norms range from-20 to +20 (red lines)

Help in interpretation in estimation of interstitial hormonal assessmentThe interstitial fluid and the blood hormonal assessment are completely different exceptfor the TSH measurement (See clinical test Botkin hospital 2006)The estimation of interstitial fluid hormonal assessment

1 Is more stable because this compartment is stagnant2 Is the true target of the hormones the bloodstream is only a way for the distribution of

the hormones into the tissueInterpretation of the results requires some physiology knowledge in particular thechronobiology and the peak of production of the different hormonesCortisolWith inflammation The production of cortisol is increased The production of cortisolreduces the ACTH production (feedback effect) and DHEA balance in cortico adrenalproduction)

28

Without inflammation The peak is the morning (wake up) decrease until 11am then increaseuntil 4pm and then decreaseThyroid HormonesThe production of the thyroid is increased if the body temperature is too high andor if youneed to increase your metabolism (stress effort sport)The production of thyroid hormone reduces the TSH production (feedback effect)At normal body temperature condition and without stress or effortThe peak will be at 11am then decrease or stable related your activityCatecholaminesIncrease with stress and the production is related to your activity and lifestyleReduced catecholamine are related to the symptom of fatigueSexual hormonesFor women related to their menstruation cycleThe production of oestradiol reduces the FSH production (biofeedback effect)For the men the level of testosterone is related to the brain activity Good news increases thelevel of testosterone and bad news depression inflammation reduces the level of testosteroneInsulinIncreases with food intake in particular carbonic hydrate and sugarsDecreases if you do not eatThe level of aldosterone is increased in metabolic acidosisThe level of ADH is increased if there is dehydratationThe level of PTH hormone is related to the calcemia levels

Body Composition estimationThe calculation of the body composition is made according to the Bioelectrical ImpedanceAnalysis (BIA) (62) (63)The BIA analysis uses a range of frequencies between 5Hz and 200 KHz

Help in interpretation in the body compositionThe BMI is not sufficient for estimations of overweight The body composition is necessary tounderstand and follow up a treatment regimeThe body composition is significant for the follow up of sports (fat mass and muscular mass) diabetes (water retention fat mass) and obesity (fat mass water retention)The intracellular and extra cellular water disorders are necessary for follow up the water andsodium disorders (water retention or dehydratation) and in the follow up of diabetescardiovascular diseases and cancers

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Protocol of use of the biofeedback program1 To take a dynamic examination2 To register a new visit the patient is in contact with the electrodes face hands and feet toclick on icon BFEThe system sends a variable frequency (between 1000 Hz and 50 KHz) positive or negative(polarity) according to the value of volume and alternatively on 22 volumes into positive ornegative according to the value of volume in the following sequence5 6 7 8 19 20 21 22 11 12 2 4 15 17 1 3 16 18 9 10The process lasts approximately 3 minutes

Interpretation and help of the results of alternative medicineAuricular and somatic punctureThe EIS system provides the possibility of the visualization of your puncture (permanent in

auricular or laser or electro stimulation) in use of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

Biofeedback programSame possibility of visualization after 3 minutes of sending frequency and or 9 minutes

Same process using of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

HomeopathySame possibility of visualization after taking the treatment ( not on the skin)

Same process using of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Protocol of use of the biofeedback program1 To take a dynamic examination2 To register a new visit the patient is in contact with the electrodes face hands and feet toclick on icon BFEThe system sends a variable frequency (between 1000 Hz and 50 KHz) positive or negative(polarity) according to the value of volume and alternatively on 22 volumes into positive ornegative according to the value of volume in the following sequence5 6 7 8 19 20 21 22 11 12 2 4 15 17 1 3 16 18 9 10The process lasts approximately 3 minutes

Same process using of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Protocol of use of the biofeedback program1 To take a dynamic examination2 To register a new visit the patient is in contact with the electrodes face hands and feet toclick on icon BFEThe system sends a variable frequency (between 1000 Hz and 50 KHz) positive or negative(polarity) according to the value of volume and alternatively on 22 volumes into positive ornegative according to the value of volume in the following sequence5 6 7 8 19 20 21 22 11 12 2 4 15 17 1 3 16 18 9 10The process lasts approximately 3 minutes

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Interpretation and help of the results of alternative medicineAuricular and somatic punctureThe EIS system provides the possibility of the visualization of your puncture (permanent in

auricular or laser or electro stimulation) in use of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

Biofeedback programSame possibility of visualization after 3 minutes of sending frequency and or 9 minutes

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

HomeopathySame possibility of visualization after taking the treatment ( not on the skin)

Same process using of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

HomeopathySame possibility of visualization after taking the treatment ( not on the skin)

Same process using of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

HomeopathySame possibility of visualization after taking the treatment ( not on the skin)

Same process using of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

HomeopathySame possibility of visualization after taking the treatment ( not on the skin)

Same process using of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Protocol of use of the biofeedback program1 To take a dynamic examination2 To register a new visit the patient is in contact with the electrodes face hands and feet toclick on icon BFEThe system sends a variable frequency (between 1000 Hz and 50 KHz) positive or negative(polarity) according to the value of volume and alternatively on 22 volumes into positive ornegative according to the value of volume in the following sequence5 6 7 8 19 20 21 22 11 12 2 4 15 17 1 3 16 18 9 10The process lasts approximately 3 minutes

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

HomeopathySame possibility of visualization after taking the treatment ( not on the skin)

Same process using of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

Factors of variationThe conductivity (and the results of physiologic tissue parameters) can be modified by thefactors of this table 16 and must be included for results interpretation Some of these factorsare contraindications for the calculation of body composition

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

46

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Protocol of use of the biofeedback program1 To take a dynamic examination2 To register a new visit the patient is in contact with the electrodes face hands and feet toclick on icon BFEThe system sends a variable frequency (between 1000 Hz and 50 KHz) positive or negative(polarity) according to the value of volume and alternatively on 22 volumes into positive ornegative according to the value of volume in the following sequence5 6 7 8 19 20 21 22 11 12 2 4 15 17 1 3 16 18 9 10The process lasts approximately 3 minutes

3 To Click twice on visit BFE and then on the icon ldquoControl measurementrdquo in order tonote the biofeedback effects

4 If the effects are overall positive to remake the process 2 times both 6 minutes and

stop the process

Interpretation and help of the results of alternative medicineAuricular and somatic punctureThe EIS system provides the possibility of the visualization of your puncture (permanent in

auricular or laser or electro stimulation) in use of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

Biofeedback programSame possibility of visualization after 3 minutes of sending frequency and or 9 minutes

Same process using of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

HomeopathySame possibility of visualization after taking the treatment ( not on the skin)

Same process using of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Bio feedback Program (BFP)The biofeedback program sends alternatively AC with intensity 650microA and frequenciesbetween 1000 Hz and 50 KHz on the 22 volumes of ESGThe biofeedback program provides a regulation of the neurovegetative system (sympatheticand parasympathetic systems) and acts on the stress which affects various volumes of thebodyAccording to the value of each volume the program stimulates or reduces the stress (inversionof polarity)Indication of Use of Biofeedback ProgramThe indications of use the Biofeedback Program depend of the understanding and theconsequence of the stressDefinition of the stress

In medical terms stress is the disruption of homeostasis through physical or psychologicalstimuli Stressful stimuli can be mental physiological anatomical or physical reactions Theterm stress in this context was coined by Austro-Canadian endocrinologist Hans Selye whodefined the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS paradigm in 1936

General Adaption Syndrome ( 69) (70)

This is a model on stress researched mainly by Hans Selye[3][4] on rats and other animals Hisresearch involved exposing animals to unpleasant or harmful stimuli such as injectionsextreme cold and even vivisection

He found that all animals showed a very similar series of reactions broken into three stagesHe describes this universal response to the stressors as the General Adaption Syndrome orGAS in 1936

Stage one alarm

When the threat or stressor is identified or realized the bodys stress response is a state ofalarm During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight or flightresponse There is also some activation of the HPA axis producing cortisol

Stage two resistance

If the stressor persists it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stressAlthough the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment thebody cannot keep this up indefinitely so its resources are gradually depleted

Stage three exhaustion

In the final stage in the GAS model all the bodys resources are eventually depleted and thebody is unable to maintain normal function At this point the initial autonomic nervous systemsymptoms may reappear (sweating raised heart rate etc) If stage three is extended long termdamage may result as the capacity of glands especially the adrenal gland and the immunesystem is exhausted and function is impaired resulting in decompensation The result canmanifest itself in obvious illnesses such as ulcers depression or even cardiovascular problemsalong with other mental issues

Neuro-chemistry and Physiology

The neurochemistry of the general adaptation syndrome is now believed to be well understoodalthough much remains to be discovered about how this system interacts with others in thebrain and elsewhere in the body

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones epinephrine andnorepinephrine and the glucocorticoid hormones cortisol and cortisone

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a major part of the neuroendocrine systeminvolving the interactions of the hypothalamus the pituitary gland and the adrenal glandsThe HPA axis is believed to play a primary role in the bodys reactions to stress by balancinghormone releases from the adrenaline-producing adrenal medulla and from the corticosteroid-producing adrenal cortex Stress can significantly affect many of the bodys immune systemsas can an individuals perceptions of and reactions to stress The termpsychoneuroimmunology is used to describe the interactions between the mental statenervous and immune systems as well as research on the interconnections of these systems

Actions of cortisol and the catecholamine (68)

Sugars Metabolism increase in the production of sugars by the liver hyperglycaemia andhyperinsulinism (diabetes)Proteins Metabolism increase in the protidic destruction (muscles skin bone)Fat mass Metabolism inhibit the lipogenesis raises cholesterol and triglyceridesWater Calcium and Sodium Metabolism increase the drainage of water by the kidney theretention of salt and the calcium and potassium loss in the urinesBone tissue metabolism and growth inhibition of Growth by action on the cartilageantagonism with the vitamin D and probable inhibition of the growth hormone The stop ofthe growth in the child can occur for amounts relatively lowAction on coagulation increase the risk of thrombosisAction in Brain Euphoria action stimulative on the central nervous system and increase therisk of insomniaBloodstream Action Hypertensive action and hypoxemiaImmunological Action action anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic agent

In excess cortisol Increase the risk of infections

Digestive Action increase the gastric acidity being able to involve an ulcer and decrease thecolon peristaltic actionOxidative stress action Increase the free radicals of oxygenCommon factors of stress

Both negative and positive stressors can lead to stress Some common categories andexamples of stressors include

Sensory pain bright light Life events birth and deaths marriage and divorce Responsibilities lack of money unemployment Workstudy exams project deadlines Personal relationships conflict deception

47

Lifestyle heavy drinking insufficient sleep Early life exposure (eg child abuse) can permanently alter an individuals stress

response Environmental Lack of control over environmental circumstances such as food

housing health freedom or mobility

One evaluation of the different stresses in peoples lives is the Holmes and Rahe stress scale

Chronic stress

Chronic stress is stress that lasts a long time or occurs frequently Chronic stress is potentiallydamaging Family problems a difficult class at school a schedule that is too busy or a longillness can cause chronic stress

Symptoms of chronic stress are

eating problems upset stomach headache backache insomnia anxiety depression or anger

There are many ways to control chronic stress including exercise proper diet timemanagement adequate rest and relaxing hobbies

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and abiological systems ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair theresulting damage All forms of life maintain a reducing environment within their cells Thecellular redox environment is preserved by enzymes that maintain the reduced state through aconstant input of metabolic energy Disturbances in this normal redox state can cause toxiceffects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components ofthe cell including proteins lipids and DNA

In humans oxidative stress is involved in many diseases such as atherosclerosis Parkinsonsdisease and Alzheimers disease and it may also be important in ageing However reactiveoxygen species can be beneficial as they are used by the immune system as a way to attackand kill pathogens and as a form of cell signaling

Protocol of use of the biofeedback program1 To take a dynamic examination2 To register a new visit the patient is in contact with the electrodes face hands and feet toclick on icon BFEThe system sends a variable frequency (between 1000 Hz and 50 KHz) positive or negative(polarity) according to the value of volume and alternatively on 22 volumes into positive ornegative according to the value of volume in the following sequence5 6 7 8 19 20 21 22 11 12 2 4 15 17 1 3 16 18 9 10The process lasts approximately 3 minutes

4 If the effects are overall positive to remake the process 2 times both 6 minutes and

stop the process

Interpretation and help of the results of alternative medicineAuricular and somatic punctureThe EIS system provides the possibility of the visualization of your puncture (permanent in

auricular or laser or electro stimulation) in use of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

Biofeedback programSame possibility of visualization after 3 minutes of sending frequency and or 9 minutes

Same process using of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

HomeopathySame possibility of visualization after taking the treatment ( not on the skin)

Same process using of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

General principles of Interpretation of the resultsLimits of decisionThe interpretation of an EIS scan must not be based only upon a comparison between the

result(s) and the reference values provided by the scan Interpretation also requires a

definition of physiological limits On the other hand physiological limits of decision

fluctuate according to the objectives

Established diagnosis

Follow-up of the patient

Diseases considered

Possible therapies

Prevalence

So it is impossible to make the interpretation of the EIS system without theclinical context

Just like laboratory tests the interpretation of the EIS requires that the user has medical

knowledge of adequate references and a list of variables which can modify the results (See

table 17)

The following specific issues need to be understood and respected if one is to properly

interpret the results of an EIS scan

1 The results obtained by the EIS system should not be used imperatively to confirm nor

deny laboratory tests the results of imagery devices or an electrical activity recording device

Each medical examination or evaluation has its own specificities and results on the same

organ can be different according to the technique used (see table 8 amp 9) EIS scanning brings

new elements of a complementary nature such as physiologic tissue and micro circulation

parameters (see table2) as well as the biochemical values of the interstitial fluid (See table 6)

2 Biochemical values EIS and Laboratory tests further comments

Table 1 shows the differences in concentration of the biochemical values for each

compartment

All the values of interstitial fluid are different from the laboratory testsThere are specifics of this compartment and the interpretation of the results are not thesame that the results of blood or urinary tests These results are complementary(See clinical test in Marfino center 2005 wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)

The pH values are different (ie than arterial blood) because interstitial fluid does not have

the main blood buffering elements (such as Haemoglobin and proteins) The acid base balance

of interstitial fluid is regulated by the cellsrsquo activity and the electrolytic balance between the

extra and intracellular medium

The biochemical values are calculated in interstitial fluid Unlike the bloodstream this

compartment is stagnant

3 The modeling is a representation of the organs as well as the physiopathology of interstitial

fluid which traverses them The physiopathology of interstitial fluid will be a direct reflection

of the cellular activity of these organs EIS does not give information about the physical

structure of organs

51

4 According to the results of the tissues parameters microcirculation and inverses problemsissues from clinical tests the software propose some statistical possibilities of diseases ordysfunction with a specificity and a sensitivity These possibilities are not diagnostic butscreening or help for regulate more specific and sensitive supplementary examinationsThese possibilities are not available for a patient under medications (drugs or chemotherapyradiotherapy surgery) In this case the statistical functional risk analysis is a follow up ofeffects of these therapiesThe strong point of the EIS system is the follow up and the early visualization of the effects ofany therapy

5 All data about a cellrsquos blood nerves vessels lymphatic muscles and articulations arecomputed by extrapolation

6 The EIS device provides a lot of results but for the interpretation of cases you do not needall the data The EIS device is a modeling of the human body and perhaps my point will bebetter understood if we make a comparison with another type of modeling the GPS (GlobalPositioning Service)

GPS is a modeling allowing one to find the specific directions about how to get to a specificdestination To use a GPS you must first input both the departure address and the destinationaddress For the EIS system the interpretation requires the same information the departureaddress is the clinical context (check up known pathology symptoms any treatment inprogress antecedents etc) the destination address is the goal you wish to achieve for theclient and what parameters you need to check in relation to the departure address (clinicalcontext)

4 If the effects are overall positive to remake the process 2 times both 6 minutes and

stop the process

Interpretation and help of the results of alternative medicineAuricular and somatic punctureThe EIS system provides the possibility of the visualization of your puncture (permanent in

auricular or laser or electro stimulation) in use of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

Biofeedback programSame possibility of visualization after 3 minutes of sending frequency and or 9 minutes

Same process using of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

HomeopathySame possibility of visualization after taking the treatment ( not on the skin)

Same process using of the measurement FCM and follow up

For this control the time will be 5 minutes

Reliability and stability of the resultsThe results are functional and the reliability is closer to the results of the laboratory tests

EIS system value of reference was determined from clinical investigations

The analytical variation reflects the inaccuracy of the method used one estimates this by

analyzing the test several times

For EIS system the follow up of a subject without treatment during 1 year was made for

more 100 cases with physiological more modification that the follow up of laboratory tests

The intra-individual variation is estimated by the repetition of the examination to the same

individual The clinical investigations at the Botkin hospital made it possible successively to

record the patients 3 times No notable modification

An experiment of Dr Richard Clement was carried out by recording 2 patients on 2 different

computers of mark and in 2 different geographical places No notable modification

The inter-individual variation estimates by the average values of several individuals and is

influenced by variables such as age and gender

The EIS system takes in to account age gender weight and height in the scale measurement

by applying a mathematical formula with a specific coefficient

This calibration is carried out automatically by the software after recording of the patientrsquos

data

Its specificity and its sensitivity (See the results of clinical investigations in

wwwsoftmedtechnologycom)
