abstractinduced total pressure by flow, including mean and fluctuating components, around a selected chute block in saf stilling basins downstream of an ogee spillway was studied. several pressure holes were selected on various faces of a selected chute block to get enough information regarding the total pressure field. this paper reports the results of an experimental work and measurement of m...

introduction: the term glaucoma refers to a group of diseases that have a characteristic optic neuropathy with associated visual field loss in common. intraocular pressure has been considered to be the only causal factor for glaucoma and the only factor that can be manipulated to alter the course of the disease. but considering high intraocular pressure as the only factor responsible for glauco...

In pediatric age diagnosis of hypertension is defined using a statistical criterion, the limit being the 95th percentile of the distribution of the blood pressure values, according to gender, age and height [1]. Prehypertension is defined as blood pressure (BP) values consistently above or equal to the 90th percentile, but lower than the 95th [Table 1]. The “gold standard” method to measure BP ...

T he technique for measuring blood pressure (BP) was introduced into clinical medicine in 1896 and has survived largely unchanged for more than a century, despite being an inherently inaccurate technique that is fraught with many sources of error. To overcome the many shortcomings of the technique, international hypertension organizations have produced a daunting list of recommendations. These ...

Arterial hypertension continues to represent the leading cause of morbidity and mortality world-wide. Diagnosis and therapy of arterial hypertension require adequate blood pressure measurements. Blood pressure is affected by constitutional and environmental factors as well as the measurement procedure itself, inducing substantial uncertainty with regard to adequate diagnosis and control of arte...

This paper review the historical background of noninvasive blood pressure measurement methods with their accuracies achieved and explains the requirements for common national and international standards of accuracy. Also are shortly described the development of blood pressure measurement system and a method, named electronic palpation method (EP), suitable for the long-term measurement of heart...

932) referred to 4 methods of indirect measurement of blood pressure: palpation, auscultation, flush, and Doppler. May I draw your attention to a fifth method which will measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure with reproducible results, even in very small infants-oscillometry. This method was first used by Mlle. L. Koessler (1912). By using a Pachon oscillometer, measurements were improve...

The measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP) as an aid in the assessment of certain neurosurgical patients is now widely accepted, following the initial descriptions of the technique (Guillaume and Janny, 1951; Lundberg, 1960). An understanding of the dynamics of ICP changes is important for many anaesthetists, not only those who are working in specialized neurosurgical units, but also those ...

OBJECTIVE To compare blood pressure measurements taken at home by physicians, nurses, and patients with office blood pressure measurement , ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and home blood pressure measurement. METHODS A total of 44 patients seen by a home care program were studied. Protocol 1 a) blood pressure was measured by the patient, a physician and a nurse during a regular home visi...
