introduction: world health organization (who) introduced hypertension as an epidemic in developing countries. however, hypertension is adequately controlled in only 12.5% of patients.  the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between ramadan fasting and mean arterial pressure (map). methods: this clinical, observational study was carried out at medical o.p.d of jinnah medical coll...

introduction: controlling and reducing serum uric acid levels may have beneficial effects on blood pressure control. the current study was carried out to assess the effects of allopurinol administration on serum uric acid and arterial blood pressure among the patients under hemodialysis.  methods: this double-blind clinical trial was conducted on 132 hemodialysis patients (two separate groups) ...

Background: Arterial pressure is one of the most important physiological variables and often needs to be monitored repeatedly or continuously in perioperative period. Arterial pressure monitoring is one of the standard monitoring in operating room. During general anesthesia, blood pressure can be measured by using a noninvasive arterial pressure method or continuous invasive arterial pressure b...

introduction: arterial stiffness is an important predictor of cardiovascular risk. several indices have been  introduced to estimate the arterial stiffness based on the changes in the brachial blood pressure. since the  substitution  of  the  blood  pressure  changes  in  the  central  arteries  such  as  carotid  with  the  blood  pressure  changes in the brachial results in error in the blood...

Oxygen is an essential part of the most important metabolic pathways in aerobic organisms. Oxygen delivery is merely dependent on blood, rendering blood loss a devastating event. Traumatic pre-hospital liver bleeding is a major cause of early trauma deaths in human and animals, with no established therapeutic method yet. Increasing intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) has been shown to reduce liver b...
