Social death. Social death is the condition of people not accepted as fully human by wider society. Used by sociologists like Zygmunt Bauman and historians of slavery and the Holocaust to describe the part played by governmental and social segregation in that process. Examples of social death are:
Chronic pericarditis often causes tiredness, coughing, and shortness of breath. Chest pain often is absent in this type of pericarditis. Severe cases of chronic pericarditis can lead to swelling in the stomach and legs and hypotension (low blood pressure).
Tuberculous pericarditis has the most insidious clinical onset. The patient may have vague, dull chest pain, weight loss, night sweats, cough, and dyspnea. Physical findings in all three types of pericarditis depend on how much exudate accumulates in the pericardial space (See Table P-1 and Table P-2).
