We propose a quantization of the Painlevé system of type A (1) l studied by M. Noumi and Y. Yamada [13]. This quantization has the affine Weyl group symmetry of type A (1) l (l ≥ 2) as well as the Lax representation. For even l, the quantized system of type A (1) l can be obtained as the continuous limit of the discrete system constructed from the affine Weyl group symmetry of type A (1) l+1 .

ABC of hypertension. Blood pressure measurement. Part III-automated sphygmomanometry: ambulatory blood pressure measurement.

Ambulatory blood-pressure monitoring.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is becoming widely accepted as a clinically useful tool for assessing cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients, although it is not generally recognized for reimbursement in the United States. There are now six major prospective studies, all of which have shown that ABPM gives a better prediction of risk than conventional clinic measurement. A coro...

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

End-organ damage associated with hypertension is more closely related to ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) than clinic or casual blood pressure measurements. ABP measurements give better prediction of clinical outcome than clinic or casual blood pressure measurements. The technique of ABP monitoring (ABPM) is specialised; validated monitors and appropriate quality control measures should be used....

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

IN this issue Pickering and Harshfield review the use of invasive and noninvasive arterial blood pressure monitoring in ambulant humans. Their review is well balanced and comprehensive but is limited to the discussion of patients with hypertension. Although it is true that the Framingham Study, the Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program, and the insurance industry data all show the powerf...
