Clinical experiencewith newly developed antihypertensive agents

Assessing Clinical Efficacy of Available Antihypertensive Agents

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in clinical trials with antihypertensive agents.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is being used increasingly for the evaluation of antihypertensive agents in clinical trials. In this brief review several aspects of ABPM are discussed. In particular, attention is paid to the extent to which ABPM is subject to a placebo response and the extent to which the sample size of the study population can be reduced with this type of measureme...

A Newly Developed Laboratory Slab Roller Compactor (Turamesin): An Overview

Methods of preparing test specimens in laboratories are particularly important. It also holds true in terms of compaction procedure in predicting pavement performance. The currently available laboratory compactor cannot adequately replicate field compaction conditions, especially the Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) mixture. The essential element of SMA mixture comprises of stones that are placed nex...

Comment on the Newly Developed Consciousness Assessment Scale; AVPU Plus

The study was very interesting with a worthy objective. I would like to admire the authors for exploring how the Alert/Verbal/Painful/Unresponsive (AVPU) responsive scale corresponds with the Glasgow Coma Sca...
