Modern medicine emphasizes the concept of homeostasis, constancy of the intern milieu. Accordingly, it is assumed that biological functions and processes are relatively stable during the 24 h and other time periods and that the exacerbation of disease an
Multivariate study: Gender (OR = 3.32 95% CI 1.11 - 9.92 p=0.03) - MS (OR = 0.07 95% CI 0.06 - 0.81 p=0.03).#Nearly a quarter of the patients in our study (24%) had a high normal blood pressure, which was associated with female gender and the presence of metabolic syndrome. ...
Blood: Blood is a connective tissue comprising of a liquid matrix (plasma), and formed components. One portion of the blood is made out of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets which are considered solid portions of the blood, and another half is made out of the water, salts...
Background: While mitral (MV) and tricuspid valve (TV) pulsed Doppler velocities and derived gradients are commonly evaluated, data on normal pediatric values are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the normal values and physiological variability for M

Higher weight and weight gain after 4 years of age rather than weight at birth are associated with adiposity, markers of glucose metabolism, and blood pressure in 5-year-old Ethiopian children. J Nutr. 2019;149(10):1785-1796. doi:10.1093/jn/nxz121 PubMedGoogle ScholarCrossref 35....
Arterial blood pressure Systolic (mmHg) 116–145 Diastolic (mmHg) 76–97 Heart rate (beats/min) 296–388 Cardiac output (mL/min) 10–80 Blood volume (mL/kg) 64 Pulmonary Respiration (Breaths/min) 100–140 Tidal Volume (mL) 1.1–2.5 Compliance (mL/cm H2O) 0.3–0.9 Resistance (cm ...
Compared to men, women on average have an anatomically smaller heart. The structure and mode of action of the heart do not differ. The smaller size of the female heart means that less blood and therefore less oxygen is pumped through the circulatory system during a heartbeat. During physical...
A 72-year-old female with suspected cardiovascular disease is seen by her primary care physician. A physical exam reveals a blood pressure of 145 mmHg/ 92 mmHg. 1) What is her pulse pressure? 2) What is her calculated mean ar...
