Abstract:
Blood Pressure Self-Measurement (BPSM) has gained interest lately and its practice can contribute to the diagnosis and follow-up of arterial hypertension. In Brazil, due to difficulties in carrying out Home Blood Pressure Monitoring (HBPM) and the unavailability of Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) in most facilities, AMPA, which differs from the aforementioned methods, has widespread use in our country. Therefore, it seems important to discuss this method, which is largely used and poorly studied. In this paper, we will describe the methods for measuring blood pressure, auscultatory and oscillometric, in addition to listing the advantages and disadvantages of measuring blood pressure in the office, comparing them with AMPA. We will also make an alert about the need for the patient to receive guidance on blood pressure measurement and, finally, we will cite the Brazilian and European Guidelines regarding the mention they make about this method.

Abstract:
Aim: Hypertension is very common in primary care patients. The diagnosis of hypertension is made by office measurements and home blood pressure measurements. The aim of this study was to define the normal variation levels of blood pressure in individuals in primary care by using ambulatory blood pressure measurement. Methods: This study was performed in primary care. Individuals who had no hypertension history were included in the study. Subjects were evaluated by using three office measurements, seven days home blood pressure measurements and 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure measurement. The ambulatory blood pressure gave us the variations in blood pressure values. Results: The study started in January 2018 and ended in May 2018. Of the 47 subjects, 70.2% were women and 29.8% were men. The mean age was 41.63±12.00. The most common educational level was elementary school graduates. The most common occupation was housewives. Of the participants, 84.2% were married. At ambulatory blood pressure measurements, 34.0% of the subjects had mean systolic blood pressures 24 hours between 120-129 mmHg. Of the diastolic blood pressure 24 hours mean values, 15.3% had values between 80-89, where 51.0% were between the 71-79 mmHg groups. The mean value of 24 hours variation in systolic blood pressure was 15.75±18.59 (median=11.40, min=8.80, max=106.00). The 24 hours variation in the mean values of diastolic blood pressures was 12.12±10.90 (median=9.70, min=6.80, max=64.00). Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated that there were high levels of variations in normal blood pressures, which could show candidates for hypertension.

Abstract:
During Fall Semester, 2019, and Spring Semester, 2020, we had 287 students participate in a blood pressure measuring exercise. Subjects included both male (n=90) and female (n=197) students from multinational backgrounds and ethnicities. Pressures were measured traditionally and nontraditionally at 8:40 a.m., 1:40 p.m., and 6:40 p.m. Data were collected after the students had been instrumented and were lying quietly on a cot for 15-20 minutes (time for baseline data to reach steady state conditions). Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significantly greater in males than in females (P<0.05). Blood pressures were also significantly greater in the 6:40 p.m. group vs either 1:40 p.m. or 8:40 a.m. There was also a quadratic trend for blood pressures to be elevated in the morning group compared with the 1:40 p.m. group. Correlations between both systolic and diastolic blood pressures and BMI were also significant. BMI was a much stronger predictor of systolic (P<0.001) than of diastolic pressure (P<0.05). For every unit increase in BMI, systolic pressure increased 1.1 mmHg, and for each unit increase in BMI, diastolic pressure rose 0.4 mmHg. Results suggest that otherwise healthy young adult university students should be more aware of their blood pressure and the influences of obesity and overweight on it. They should try harder to achieve and maintain healthier lifestyles. This should include, but not be limited to, being more careful with their diets and being physically more active. Students should also avoid/limit unhealthy habits such as smoking, vaping, drinking (alcohol), and consuming caffeinated beverages.

Abstract:
BP was measured in 440 children followed longitudinally from birth to 7 years of age in Bogalusa, LA. Levels, trends, and determinants of BP were evaluated in this newborn cohort. Both systolic and diastolic BP levels remained relatively constant between the ages of 6 months and 7 years. BP levels varied between the different instruments, and differences were also noted between measures obtained using the same instrument before and after venipuncture. White children were noted to have slightly higher levels of systolic and diastolic BP pressure at 6 months and 1 year of age, even after adjustment for body size. Significant prediction of year 7 BP rank occurred as early as 6 months of age for systolic and at 1 year of age for diastolic BP levels. Body size was inconsistently related to BP levels from ages 6 months through 4 years, but the relationship was stronger and more consistent with changes in body size. Of interest is the relatively constant levels of indirect BP during this period of rapid growth, as measured by currently available instruments. These data emphasize the importance of cardiovascular risk factor measurement during early life and of the need to improve methods of indirect BP measurement in infancy.

Abstract:
To the Editor.— Recently the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Task Force on Blood Pressure Control in Children published revised normal BP standards and guidelines for children.1 I welcome this effort, as reliable normative data have been unavailable but are prerequisite for the early detection of hypertension and its proper treatment. The guidelines published by the Task Force for the detection of hypertension, the diagnostic evaluation, follow-up laboratory testing, and treatment are, in my opinion, excellent.

Abstract:
In Reply.— Dr Park's first question centers around why data from the earlier NIH report were excluded from the current report. As indicated in the new report, because of the absence of prospective cohort data that can clearly link level of BP to cardiovascular risk, the Task Force did the next best thing which was to gather together the most comprehensive and reliable normative BP data to establish normal BP curves for children by age.

Abstract:
Background: Telemonitoring of home blood pressure (HBP) is a new advance in blood pressure monitoring. The aim of this study was to compare office blood pressure (OBP) and telemedical home blood pressure with daytime ambulatory blood pressure (ABP). Methods: One hundred and two patients were recruited consecutively from our Renal Outpatients’ Clinic. Office blood pressure was measured three times with the HBP equipment (A&D UA-767Plus BT). Telemonitoring of HBP was done for four consecutive days with three measurements three times daily followed by ABP (A&D TM-2430) on the next day. All patients received a questionnaire regarding acceptance of the equipment. Results: OBP was a significantly higher than daytime ABP (systolic/diastolic, 3.3/3.8 mmHg). HBP was significantly lower than daytime ABP (systolic/diastolic, -4.6/-1.6 mmHg). The strongest correlations were seen between all HBP readings day 2-4 and daytime ABP (systolic, r=0.69, p<0.001; diastolic, r=0.61, p<0.001). There were no significant differences between the different HBP schedules, i.e. 3 measurements twice daily for 3 days and 3 measurements three times daily for 4 days. Patients were content with and accepted the HBP measuring device. Conclusion: The telemedical HBP was lower than daytime ABP. The observed difference could possible be due to less pain and more relaxation during HBP measurements or a systematic difference in the algoritms between the blood pressure measuring devices. HBP measurement during three days was as good as measurement during 4 days.. The equipment was well accepted among patients.

Abstract:
Background: Hypertension is one of the most common diseases in the current era. With the increase in life pressures, the number of people with high blood pressure is constantly increasing. Multiple types of medical drugs are used to treat high blood pressure, but despite their use in treatment, they have many side effects, so with the beginning of the twentieth century, the World Health Organization sought to urge the use of alternative medicine in the treatment of many diseases because of its characteristics that make it superior on medical drugs, the most important of which is that it has no side effects. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Fashareen on the regulation of blood pressure. Material and Methods: The study was designed to include hypertensive patients, where 30 participants were taken from OPD of government and private hospitals in Faisalabad according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. Consent was taken from individuals for an assessment and intervention procedure. A recommended dose of 1 tablet of Fashareen twice a day was given to the patients in 12 hours a part period, and after that, we collected the data again from the patient’s e.g. Blood pressure and heartbeats. Results: Significant change in blood pressure values after the treatment in a group in addition to a significant decrease in heart rate values after the treatment in a group Conclusion: Fashareen is quite effective in controlling blood stress.

Using the direct micropuncture technique, we measured pressures in 20- to 60-microns-diameter arterioles and venules in isolated lungs of newborn rabbits at consecutive blood flow rates of 50 (baseline), 100, and/or 200 ml.min-1.kg-1. Then in some lungs we returned blood flow rate to baseline and repeated microvascular pressure measurements. We kept left atrial pressure the same at all blood flow rates. When blood flow rate increased and left atrial pressure was maintained constant, pulmonary arterial, 20- to 60-microns-diameter arteriolar, and 20- to 60-microns-diameter venular pressures increased such that the percentage of total pressure drop that occurred across veins increased. When we returned blood flow to baseline, venular pressure returned to baseline, but arteriolar and pulmonary arterial pressures returned to values less than baseline so that the percentage of the total pressure drop that occurred across microvessels decreased. Thus both blood flow rate and blood flow history are important determinants of the longitudinal distribution of pulmonary vascular pressures across newborn lungs. These findings also suggest that in newborn lungs venules greater than 60 microns diameter are poorly distensible such that higher blood flow rates result in increased microvascular pressures. Hence, under conditions of increased pulmonary blood flow, such as occurs with left to right shunts, the tendency for edema formation will increase in newborn lungs even if left atrial pressure does not increase.
