The Water Monitor is the largest lizard that you can possibly own, dwarfed only in body size by the giant Komodo Dragon. The longest recorded lizard is actually a Water Monitor, measuring 10â 4â long! An average adult Water will reach at least 6 feet from tip to tail, and can easily weigh 40-60 pounds.t is my job to make sure that when you do choose a Water Monitor, or any new reptile, to be part of your life for the next 10 or 20 years, that you are prepared and that you can fulfill the lifelong needs of that reptile. Monitors are time consuming animals.
Pericarditis Definition. Inflammation of the lining around the heart (the pericardium) that causes chest pain and accumulation of fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion). There are many causes of pericarditis, including infections, injury, radiation treatment, and chronic diseases.
Pericarditis is a feature of several autoimmune conditions, especially systemic lupus erythematosus. It is also associated with renal failure and hemodialysis. Furthermore, pericarditis can develop because of injury to the pericardium as a result of trauma, surgery, instrumentation, or radiation therapy.onversely, cardiac tamponade and constrictive pericarditis lead to important and distinctive hemodynamic changes. Because the heart is constricted by fluid or a rigid fibrinous or calcified pericardium, negative intrathoracic pressure during inspiration is not transmitted to the pericardial sac.
