The effectiveness of health coaching, home blood pressure monitoring, and home-titration in controlling hypertension among low-income patients: protocol for a randomized controlled trial

BMC Public Health, 2009
Background Despite the many antihypertensive medications available, two-thirds of patients with hypertension do not achieve blood pressure control. This is thought to be due to a combination of poor patient education, poor medication adherence, and ...

Self monitoring of blood pressure at home [PDF]

BMJ, 2004
Although measurement of blood pressure in the clinic is said to be the cornerstone of decision making in hypertension, such measurements may be unrepresentative of a patient's true blood pressure because of random fluctuations and the white coat effect.1-4 In addition, doctors rarely measure blood pressure according to recommended standards.4 Aimed at ...

Home Blood Pressure Monitoring [PDF]

Hypertension, 2011
See related article, pp 29–38 Home blood pressure (BP) measurements enjoy a growing popularity in medical practice for several reasons. One, self-measured BP in the home environment is much less affected by the so-called white coat effect than BP values obtained by a doctor or a nurse in the clinic environment.1,2 This makes home BP closer to BP ...

Expanding Chemical Space of Nucleic Acid Nanoparticles for Tunable Antiviral‐Like Immunomodulatory Responses and Potent Adjuvant Activity

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a nucleic acid nanoparticle (NANP) platform designed to be rrecognized by the human innate immune system in a regulated manner. By changing chemical composition while maintaining constant architectural parameters, we identify key determinants of immunorecognition enabling the rational design of NANPs with tunable immune activation profiles
