Blood pressure is the force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. It constitutes one of the critically important signs of life or vital signs, which include heart rate,breathing, and temperature. Blood pressure is generated by the heart pumping blood into the arteries modifi...

The difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure is that systolic refers to the highest pressure when the heart contracts and pumps blood, while diastolic represents the lowest pressure when the heart relaxes between beats. When you measure your blood pressure, you’ll see two numbers, ...
Low blood concentrations of the diet-derived compound ergothioneine (ET) have been associated with cognitive impairment and cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) in cross-sectional studies, but it is unclear whether ET levels can predict subsequent cognitive and functional decline. Here, we examined the tempo...
Rapid heart rate: Fewer red blood cells mean your heart has to pump harder than usual to get enough oxygen to all the parts of your body, so your pulse may be faster. Severe anemia can even cause an irregular heartbeat. Tinnitus: Someone with tinnitus hears sounds in their ears even whe...
12 A recent study13 of persons with MCI showed that higher blood pressure is associated with more rapid cognitive decline. In agreement with these data, observational studies14,15 have shown a protective effect of the use of antihypertensive drugs (AHDs) on cognitive function of older individuals...
As an essential component of the rapid scale-up of Special Newborn Care Units (SNCU) in India (i.e., expanding Level-2 care to district facilities), India’s Facility Based Newborn Care Database is specific for neonatal data and is being implemented across 934 units, which admit over ...

Taken together, these findings suggest that health systems could see rapid and potentially lasting benefits from a single scalable CHW intervention. Limitations This trial has limitations. First, all sites were located in Philadelphia; future studies will test the scalability of the intervention across ...
