This table above shows ranges for normal blood pressure for men over 50 years of age. It is clear from the table thatblood pressure rises after the age of 60 yearsand peaks at about 75-89 yearsand gradually reduces thereafter. A lot of debates have surfaced in recent times regardingconside...
In a 2004 publication by Gianfranco Parati and their team in their paper “Blood pressure measurement in research and in clinical practice: recent evidence”, question why kPa can’t be a unit of blood pressure, while mmHg was relevant for mercury sphygmomanometers. The conversion between these ...
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
Blood samples were obtained after an overnight fast of 12 h. Serum was stored for the determination of leptin and glucose. We found that there were more female than male diabetes patients with comorbid depression. Fasting leptin was higher in normal weight non-diabetes women than men; but ...

Methods: In this case–control study, 76 healthy normal- weight and obese, prepubertal and pubertal boys underwent a blood sampling before and immediately after an aerobic exercise bout until exhaustion at 70% maximal oxygen con- sumption. Markers of prooxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive ...
What are considered high and low creatinine blood test levels? In general, any creatinine measurement over 1.3 is abnormally high. Low levels of creatinine (below the reference range for the laboratory) are sometimes seen in people with low muscle mass. Low creatinine levels are typically not a...
Blood samples were obtained after an overnight fast of 12 h. Serum was stored for the determination of leptin and glucose. We found that there were more female than male diabetes patients with comorbid depression. Fasting leptin was higher in normal weight non-diabetes women than men; but ...
It has been suggested that an appropriate timing of puberty is necessary for normal bone mineral density (BMD) acquisition, which may not be achievable in children with constitutional delay of puberty (CDP). To assess the effect of pubertal delay on BMD, we measured areal BMD (aBMD) at lumba...
UK Biobank), we used data only from subgroups of individuals without risk factors or conditions known to affect the CMR parameter. In cases where the original manuscript did not provide sufficient information to allow upper and lower limits to be calculated, authors were contacted for clarification...
