Automated 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in preeclampsia

Abstract

A prospective controlled study was designed to compare automated 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring with intermittent blood pressure recordings obtained using a sphymomanometer. Blood pressure was measured in 20 hospitalized preeclamptic women in the third trimester. Data obtained using the Spacelabs automated blood pressure monitor was recorded over a period of 24 hours, and thereafter stored and processed in a computer. During the same 24 hour period, blood pressure and heart rate were measured by experienced staff at 07.00, 10.00, 13.00, 15.00, 18.00 and 21.00 hours, with the patient in a semi-recumbent position using a conventional mercury sphygmomanometer with a cuff of appropriate size. Korotkoff phase 5 was used as the indicator of diastolic blood pressure in all recordings by the staff. The main outcome measures were systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure and maternal heart rate. Automated ambulatory monitoring was well tolerated and gave 91.6% successful readings. The mean differences between the blood pressure readings recorded by the monitor and of intermittent mercury sphygmomanometry during daytime were 0.7 (95% confidence interval -2.6 to 4.0) mmHg for the mean arterial blood...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
