The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of dietary sodium restriction on diurnal blood pressure (BP) variation in primary aldosteronism. We studied the diurnal variation in the systemic hemodynamic indices and in baroreflex sensitivity (BRS). In 13 subjects with aldosterone-producing adenomas (2 males; mean age, 39+/-2 years), intra-arterial pressure was monitored telemetrically ...

Abstract. Purpose: determination of the effectiveness use physical therapy in women with metabolic syndrome who underwent caesarean section, based on changes structure daily blood pressure profile.
 Methods. During research, 44 aged 25.5±1.6 years at end late postpartum period (2 months after childbirth) were examined. The control group consisted 17 normal body weight gave birth vaginally ...

Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is related with cardiovascular risk factors. Non-dipping blood pressure pattern and high mean platelet volume, which is an indicator of increased platelet activation, are associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The aim of our study is to determine circadian variation of blood pressure and to study the impact of hematological indices...

Valsartan administration at bedtime as opposed to on wakening improves the sleep time-relative blood pressure decline toward a more dipper pattern without loss in 24-hour efficacy. Yet to be determined is whether this administration time-dependent efficacy is a class-related feature, characteristic of all angiotensin receptor blockers or specific only to valsartan. Terminal half-life is a major...

We have developed Dipper, a data integration with privacy protection environment, aiming to tackle the following challenges. Firstly, records can be matched albeit typographical differences between their attribute values. Secondly, they can be matched albeit some attribute values being suppressed to protect the privacy of an individual. Dipper enables data providers to suppress sensitive attrib...
