Whether Atmospheric Pressure Changes Predict Variations in Blood Pressure
The influence of climate on arterial blood pressure (BP) has been demonstrated in several studies on hypertensive and normotensive patients of all ages [1-5]. There is a tendency for both systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) to rise in the winter [1-6]. Atmospheric pressure (AP) is the most objective weather factor because, regardless of being indoors or outdoors, it affects all ob...
متن کاملRespiratory diseases in relation to changes in atmospheric pressure.
In this paper are reviewed the present status of respiratory diseases in relation to high and low altitude environments. H igh A ltitu d e Sickness I n t k o d u c t i o n Mountain sickness occurs in both an acute form and a chronic form. Only re cently has this been studied to any degree; however, the first description was by a Peruvian in 1897.8 In 1937, Hurtado de scribed a case of pulmona...
متن کاملAtmospheric pressure changes and outdoor temperature changes in relation to spontaneous pneumothorax.
STUDY AIMS To examine the influence of atmospheric pressure (AP) and temperature changes on the incidence of idiopathic spontaneous pneumothorax (SP). METHODS From December 1991 through November 1993, 115 consecutive SP cases were selected. Patients were included after being in Amsterdam at least 1 full day before contracting the SP. Differences in air temperature and AP (provided hourly by t...
متن کاملInfluence of Altitude Atmospheric Pressure on Octane Requirement (RESEARCH NOTE).
The normal specifications of motor gasolines as well as their combustion characteristics in internal combustion engines are reviewed in this paper. The effective factors influencing the fuel performance, such as the molecular structure of the fuel constituents, the operating conditions and the atmospheric pressure and temperature are also discussed. A relationship between the optimum octane num...
متن کاملAtmospheric pressure ion sources.
This review of atmospheric pressure ion sources discusses major developments that have occurred since 1991. Advances in the instrumentation and understanding of the key physical principles are the primary focus. Developments with electrospray and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization and variations encompassing adaptations for surface analysis, ambient air analysis, high throughput, and modi...
