A Randomized Trial of Intensive versus Standard Blood-Pressure Control.
To the Editor: Wright et al. (Nov. 26 issue)1 report on the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT). By focusing on blood-pressure levels, rather than on specific antihypertensive agents, this trial follows a rich heritage of government ...

Design and Simulation of Capacitive Pressure Sensor for Blood Pressure Sensing Application [PDF]
This paper presents the mathematical modeling-based design and simulation of normal mode MEMS capacitive pressure sensor for blood pressure sensing application. The normal blood pressure of human being is 120/80 mmHg. But this range varies in case of any stress, hypertension and some other health issues.

Purpose Wake-up stroke constitutes up to 1/4 of all ischaemic strokes; however, its pathomechanisms remain largely unknown. Although low nocturnal blood flow may be the underlying cause, little is known about blood pressure (BP) characteristic of wake-up

Abstract Positron emission tomography with x‐ray computed tomography (PET/CT) is increasingly being utilized for radiation treatment planning (RTP). Accurate delivery of RT therefore depends on quality PET/CT data. This study covers quality control (QC) procedures required for PET/CT for diagnostic imaging and incremental QC required for RTP.
