Definition: Symptoms are presented by the patient as if they were due to a physical disorder of a system or organ that is largely or completely under autonomic innervation and control, i.e. the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory and urogenital systems. The symptoms are usually of two types, neither of which indicates a physical disorder of the organ or system concerned. First, there are complaints based upon objective signs of autonomic arousal, such as palpitations, sweating, flushing, tremor, and expression of fear and distress about the possibility of a physical disorder. Second, there are subjective complaints of a nonspec ...[+++]ific or changing nature such as fleeting aches and pains, sensations of burning, heaviness, tightness, and feelings of being bloated or distended, which are referred by the patient to a specific organ or system. | Cardiac neurosis Da Costa's syndrome Gastric neurosis Neurocirculatory asthenia Psychogenic forms of:aerophagy | cough | diarrhoea | dyspepsia | dysuria | flatulence | hiccough | hyperventilation | increased frequency of micturition | irritable bowel syndrome | pylorospasm

The changing international environment after the end of the Cold War has offered new opportunities to overcome such difficulties and to promote peaceful change.

environmental control and storage/transportation conditions including cold chain management, if appropriate.

In order to ensure that aid contributes to a higher level of environmental protection, aid for district heating and district cooling and cogeneration of heat and electricity (‘CHP’) will only be considered compatible with the internal market if granted for investment, including upgrades, to high-efficient CHP and energy-efficient district heating and district cooling.

Finding innovative energy solutions (e.g. energy efficiency, electricity and heating and cooling supply systems, and integration of renewables in the built environment), integrated with transport systems, smart construction and urban planning solutions, waste and water treatment as well as ICT solutions for the urban environment is therefore crucial in the transformation towards a low-carbon society.
