Original Source: Differences in Blood Pressure by Body Position (Supine, Fowler's, and Sitting) in Hypertensive Subjects.
BackgroundAlthough blood pressure (BP) differences from supine to sitting position have long been recognized, limited data are available on other commonly used body positions. We performed a cross-sectional study to compare BP values obtained in supine, sitting, and Fowler's positions in essential hypertensive subjects.MethodsSystolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) were recorded using an automatic oscillometric device. Nine measurements were taken: three measurements, in random order, in supine, Fowler's,...

New synthetic discoveries via high-pressure solid-state chemistry.
Most of the syntheses in solid-state chemistry are performed at constant pressure of ∼1 atm (about 10(5) Pa) by the manipulation of the thermodynamic parameters temperature and composition, leading...
Background: Skin perfusion pressure (SPP) has been shown to be useful in the assessment of the severity of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and ulcers can be cured when the SPP is ≥30-40mmHg. Th...
The semi-seated position slightly reduces the effort to breathe during difficult weaning.
PURPOSE: The influence of posture on breathing effort in patients with difficult weaning is unknown. We hypothesized that posture could modulate the breathing effort in difficult-to-wean patients. MET...
