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
We did not exclude participants with isolated diastolic hypertension (n = 91) among whom the mean (SD) diastolic BP (DBP) was 83.1 (2.9) mm Hg, because it is uncertain whether isolated diastolic hypertension is associated with a significantly increased risk for ASCVD.22-24 An automated ...
Statistical atlases can provide population-based descriptions of healthy volunteers and/or patients and can be used for region- and voxel-based analysis. This work aims to develop whole-body diffusion atlases of healthy volunteers scanned at 1.5T and 3T.

The patients usually presented with cold hands and/or feet, shifted circadian rhythm, low BP (with pronounced fall during night), and prolonged sleep onset time. Studies indicated that Flammer syndrome may contribute to the occurrence and progression of NTG. Glaucomatous patients with progressive ...
points among 526641 participants without excessive alcohol consumption or known liver disease were 32 U/L, 37 U/L for men; 31 U/L for women; 39 U/L for overweight people; and 36 U/L for patients with diabetes, all of which were lower than the upper limit for ALT (40 U/L)[19]....
1A). A genotyping strategy with primers flanking (F1, R) and overlapping (F2) the deletion site was used to distinguish WT and Cdkl5−/y animals, with two bands detected for WT males (356 and 135 bp) whereas only one band was present for Cdkl5−/y rats (346 bp) (Fig. 1A-B...
Participants were English-speaking, community-dwelling men and women who were cognitively normal, aged between 65 and 90 years, and free from active, major psychiatric disorders when originally enrolled in the cohort (eAppendix in the Supplement).21 For this study, data were obtained from 79 part...
For nighttime blood pressure monitoring at home, an automatic BP monitor recorded the BP and PR before bedtime, at 0200 and 0400 hours, and upon waking for 2 consecutive days before and 8 weeks after study entry. The measurements were averaged for analysis. ...
The utilized restriction endonuclease was NIa III (Takara, Japan), and the RFLP sizes were 147, 99, and 48 bp. Random duplicate genotyping was routinely undertaken during the study: a mean genotyping error rate of less than 1% was found for all of the SNPs. Tissue RNA extraction and mRNA...
