It is known that in some patients, such accuracy is not possible due to the anatomical changes in the musculature of the arm, obesity, and dysmorphisms. Objective: To evaluate and compare blood pressure values using the traditional method of measuring blood pressure in the arm with the values...
The impact of blood pressure cuff location on the accuracy of noninvasive blood pressure measurements in obese patients: an observational study Purpose: Obesity presents many challenges to the anesthesiologist, including poorly fitting blood pressure (BP) cuffs due to the conical shape of the uppe.....

Most investigators now use electrically-calibrated strain gauges to derive forearm blood flow (FBF) from changes in forearm circumference induced by intermittent venous occlusion [5–8]. Despite adequate assessment of the accuracy of strain gauge plethysmography when compared with other techniques [9, ...
Human movements can be categorized by speed into slow, ballistic, and rapid. In slow movement, a conscious effort is made to minimize the displacement speed of the body segment. The ability to perform slow movements is important to tasks of accuracy, e.g., drawing complex geometric figures. ...
The present study aimed to compare the effect of GR therapy duration of 10 and 20 min on muscle tension, muscle stiffness, and elasticity, pressure pain threshold, tissue blood supply, and muscle strength in MMA athletes. The research hypothesis assumed that shortening the regeneration time through...
@simrin-- I think you should see a doctor first because sometimes a swollen arm without an apparent cause might be related to blood pressure issues or kidney issues. It's always a good idea to cross these off the list as possible causes first. If everything else is normal, I'm assumi...
Blood pressure accuracyUpper arm blood pressureForearm blood pressureEmergency nursingBackground: Forearm blood pressures have been suggested as an alternative site to measure blood pressures when the upper arm is unavailable. However there is little evidence utilising clinical populations to support this ...
We hypothesize that as a response to strong evolutionary pressure to close the energy gap, frugivorous bats have elevated their blood glucose levels, such that a large amount of energy is readily available for flight, despite eating relatively low energy foods compared to insectivorous bats. ...
