introduction: world health organization (who) introduced hypertension as an epidemic in developing countries. however, hypertension is adequately controlled in only 12.5% of patients.  the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between ramadan fasting and mean arterial pressure (map). methods: this clinical, observational study was carried out at medical o.p.d of jinnah medical coll...

background:  patients undergoing cemented hip hemiarthroplasty may develop bone cement implantation syndrome (bcis) which is a leading cause of intraoperative complications. the purpose of this study was to evaluate cardiovascular changes during cemented hip hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients.   methods:  cemented hip hemiarthroplasty was performed on 72 patients with femoral neck fracture. a...

To the Editor:—We read with great interest the article by Petersen et al., which demonstrated the expected clinical response to the three anesthetic agents studied. An increase in arterial pressure may result in an increase in the cerebral perfusion pressure and reduce reflex cerebral vasodilatation, potentially resulting in reduced intracranial pressure. We note that the mean arterial pressure...
