Measurement of Portal Pressure

Clinics in Liver Disease, 2014
Portal pressure is estimated through measuring the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG). The main clinical applications of HVPG measurements include diagnosis, classification, and monitoring of portal hypertension, risk stratification, identification of candidates for liver resection, and monitoring efficacy of β-adrenergic blockers.

Blood pressure measurement

Nursing Standard, 2008
Blood pressure measurement is an essential clinical skill for all nurses. However, if the procedure is not followed carefully there is potential for error that can adversely affect patient management. Nurses performing blood pressure measurement should be appropriately trained and updated on the procedure and the correct use of equipment.

Disc Pressure Measurements

Spine, 1981
By measurement of intradiscal pressure in vitro, the hydrostatic properties of the nucleus pulposus of normal lumbar intervertebral disc were proven. The hydrodynamic properties seem to exist also in the somewhat degenerated disc, but not in the more severely deranged ones.

BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT

Journal of Renal Care, 2006
SUMMARYBlood pressure measurement is the basis for the diagnosis, management, treatment, epidemiology and research of hypertension and the decisions affecting these aspects of hypertension will be influenced by the accuracy of measurement. Although blood pressure measurement is one of the most common clinical techniques, there are some factors ...

Biting pressure measured with pressure measuring sheet.

Shika rikogaku zasshi. Journal of the Japan Society for Dental Apparatus and Materials, 1981
Biting pressure distribution and biting force measurements were performed with normal molars using pressure measuring sheets. The maximum biting pressure was supposed to be 700 approximately 800 kg/cm2. The maximum biting force of 6th and 7th teeth exceeded 100 kg.

Blood Pressure Measurement

Pediatrics, 1987
To the Editor.— The report of the Second Task Force on Blood Pressure Control in Children1 recommends the use of K4 in preadolescent children because the authors say that K5 readings are frequently difficult to obtain in that age group, and K5 is easier to record in adolescents.

Pressure to measure pressure: the McLean Tonometer

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2009
Albrecht von Graefe’s invention of the surgical iridectomy procedure for the treatment of glaucoma in 1857 was his impetus to design an instrument to measure the eye pressure so that he could record pressures before and after iridectomy. He also constructed a campimeter for plotting the visual field.

Ultrasonic pressure measurement in pressure vessels

Review of Scientific Instruments, 2014
Based on the reflected longitudinal wave, a new non-intrusive method for pressure measurement is proposed. The acoustoelastic theory and the thin-shell theory are introduced to develop the pressure measurement model in cylindrical pressure vessels. And a pressure measurement system is constructed to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method ...

Blood pressure measurement

2005
Abstract This occurs either non-invasively or invasively and usually refers to systemic arterial pressure measurement, but can also refer to systemic venous or pulmonary arterial pressure measurement.In 1733 the Reverend Stephen Hales was the first person to measure blood pressure in vivo in unanaesthetized horses by direct cannulation ...

Blood Pressure Measurement

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1978
To the Editor.— I read with interest in QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (240:285, 1978) about blood pressures (BPs) difficult to measure because of inaudible Korotkoff sounds. This is frequently a problem in obese persons but often occurs in many patients without apparent cause.
