The author examined the correlation of blood pressure with age, height, body weight and soreness in skin folds in 152 parts of the body in 503 women. A multivariate statistical analysis allowed for the multidimensional linear equations for calculation of systolic and diastolic blood pressure by investigated parameters with high correlation coefficient and significance level. These equations include only those options that had a high level of confidence (p<0.05). Based on these data, the author has constructed two schemes skin zones in women with increased pain sensitivity, which are responsible for the increase separately systolic and diastolic blood pressure in women. Massage or physiotherapy these areas reduce them in soreness of the skin fold, leading to normalization of blood pressure. This article discusses the mechanism of increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in correlation with the appearance in these figures the active places of the reflex zones, which are involved in the formation of pathogenic reflexes of the autonomic nervous system. This alters the normal functioning of the cardiovascular system, resulting in an increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Hypertension is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, hypertension is an increase in systolic blood pressure above the normal limit of more than 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of more than 90 mmHg, factors that cause increased blood pressure are physical activity, emotion, age, gender , nutritional status, drinking alcohol, smoking, stress. Data from the Grandmed Lubuk Pakam Hospital in 2018 the number of hypertension patients there were 178 cases of hypertension, the number of men was 82 people and women 96 people. One of the non-pharmacological therapies offered to reduce hypertension is massage therapy. The massage technique can remove blockages in the blood vessels so that blood and energy flow in the body returns smoothly. This research was conducted using a quasi-experimental design with the type of design to be used, namely the static group comparison method, the sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with purposive sampling technique, where the sample of this study was 20 people. The results showed that the pre-test sample in the treatment group was known to have the highest value of 160/100 mmHg and the lowest value of 130/90 and post-test mmHg with an average pre-test blood pressure value of 142.00 on systolic and 93.00 on diastolic, and 110.00 post-test. in systole and 79.00 in diastole. Based on the results above, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between  reflexology neck massage with a decrease in blood pressure in patients with hypertension where the Wilcoxon Test results obtained p = 0.004 (systolic blood pressure) and p = 0.005 (diastolic blood pressure).

Background: Hypertension is estimated to affect about 40% of adults above 25 years of age globally. While many of the risk factors of hypertension are well known, such is not the case with smoking. Pertinent published literature is heterogeneous, with a dearth of relevant local data. Objectives was to study the relationship between smoking and blood pressure levels in hypertensive patients and to assess the effects of gender, age and hypertension duration on such a relationship.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on a total of 298 conveniently sampled patients, aged 18 or above, from the medical outpatient department of a secondary care hospital of Karachi. The relevant data were collected by means of a structured questionnaire whereas the blood pressure level was checked using sphygmomanometer with stethoscope. Mann Whitney U test was used for inferential analysis whereas the significance level was set at 0.05.Results: Overall, both the systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels were significantly associated with smoking history (p<0.05 for both) where they were found to be higher in smokers than in non-smokers. Furthermore, after gender, age and hypertension duration based stratifications; both the systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels were still significantly associated with smoking history in patients who were male, were ≥35 years old and had <5 years hypertension duration (p<0.05 for both) where they were again found to be higher in smokers than in non-smokers.Conclusions: The study results showed a significant association of positive smoking history with higher mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels, though after stratifying for gender, age and hypertension duration, this relationship persisted only in patients who were male, were ≥35 years old and had <5 years hypertension duration.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme in lipid metabolismand is associatedwith obesity, dyslipidemias, hypertension (HTN) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).LPLgene polymorphisms can be related with the development of cardiovascular risk factors. The present study was conducted to analyze the relationship of theHindIIIand S447X polymorphisms inLPLgene with cardiovascular risk factors in Mexican families. The study population comprised ninety members of 30 Mexican families, in which an index case had obesity, were included in the study. We evaluated the body composition by bioelectrical impedance. Peripheral blood samples were collected to determine biochemical parameters. Screening for both polymorphisms was made by PCR-RFLPs. In the parents, both polymorphisms were in Hardy-Weinberg’s equilibrium. We found that the genotype T/T ofHindIIIwas associated with diastolic blood pressure ≧ 85 mmHg (OR = 1.1;p= 0.011), whereas the genotype C/C of S447X was associated with systolic blood pressure ≧ 130 mmHg (OR = 1.2;p< 0.001), diastolic blood pressure ≧ 85 mmHg (OR = 1.3;p< 0.001), T2DM (OR = 1.3;p< 0.001) and with increase of total cholesterol (β = 23.6 mg/mL;p= 0.03). These data suggest that theHindIIIand S447XLPLgene polymorphisms can confer susceptibility for the development of hypertension and T2DM in Mexican families.

Hypertension is one of the biggest problems that cause death because many are undiagnosed and hypertensive sufferers often experience asymptomatic events causing difficulty to know the causes of hypertension. Treatment of hypertension can perform by pharmacology and non-pharmacology. Non-pharmacological treatment may be in the form of aromatherapy. This study aimed to determine the effect of aqueous aromatherapy on the decrease of blood pressure in hypertensive patients at Royal Prima Hospital Medan in 2017. The study design was quasi-experiment with one group pretest-postest design provided with aromatherapy for 10 minutes. The population consisted of 28 people. The 10 people as sampling were drawn by a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was performed by interview and observation. The bivariate analysis used was paired sample t-test with a significance level of 0.05 (5%). The results showed that the level of systolic and diastolic blood pressure before aromatherapy aqueous treatment was 156.60 mmHg and 92.40 mmHg. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure after aqueous aromatherapy administration was 142.60 mmHg and 81.80 mmHg. Based on the results of statistical tests it was found that there was a difference in blood pressure between before and after aromatherapy, {systolic, p-value = 0.000 (p <0.05) and diastolic, p-value = 0.000 (p <0.05)}. The results of this study concluded that there is an effect of giving aqueous aromatherapy (Kananga odorata) on the decrease of blood pressure in hypertension patients at Royal Prima Hospital Medan in 2017. It is suggested that aqueous aromatherapy can be applied as an alternative therapy to lower blood pressure.

Background: Hypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or more, or a diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or more or taking anti-hypertensive medication. The clinical presentation of high blood pressure may depend upon several factors such as age, gender, severity and duration of hypertension. There is a paucity of data exploring the role hypertension duration may play in shaping the relationship between blood pressure and signs and symptoms of hypertension. To evaluate the effect of hypertension duration on relationship between blood pressure and signs and symptoms in hypertensive patients.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 250 patients, aged 18 or above, with self-reported history of hypertension and on anti-hypertensive medication. Data were collected by means of a structured questionnaire whereas the blood pressure level was measured with the help of sphygmomanometer using stethoscope. Inferential analysis was performed by applying chi-square test whereas the significance level was set at 0.05.Results: The study results revealed that among patients with ≥5 years duration of hypertension headache history (P=0.021), edema (P=0.034), increased urinary frequency (P=0.031), sleep apnoea (P=0.016), palpitation (P=0.005) and confusion (p=0.021) were significantly associated with systolic whereas only increased urinary frequency (P=0.009) was significantly associated with diastolic blood pressure. Moreover, among patients with <5 years duration of hypertension vision problems (P=0.03), sleep apnoea (P=0.015) and palpitation (P=0.035) were significantly associated with systolic whereas sleep apnoea (P=0.048) and palpitation (P=0.028) were significantly associated with diastolic blood pressure.Conclusions: The study results showed that patients with higher blood pressure were more likely to have the signs and symptoms of hypertension. Also, patients with longer duration of hypertension had greater number of signs and symptoms associated with systolic hypertension.

The article presents the results of studies on the adaptation of the automatic tonometer Longevita BP–1305 with replaceable marking cuffs I(C1I) and C(C1C) for the oscillometric method of blood pressure measuring in dogs of different sizes. Reference indicators are defined. The proposed method is indirect and is based on the measurement of air pressure required to compress the artery and stop the blood flow in it. The initial recorded tone displays the maximum, or systolic, pressure (Sys). The process of stopping the registration of pulse tremors occurs at the time of restoration of the artery lumen and corresponds to the minimal, or diastolic, blood pressure (Dia). The use of the oscillometric method completely eliminates the human factor for the measurements. These cuffs allow to cover the whole range of the dogs circles subulnar zone of different breeds. The ratio of width to circumference is 42–45%, which is the optimal value. The cuff of the device was applied to the left forearm area. Measurements were carried out three times, calculating the arithmetic mean of the results to account for the error caused by the stress state of animals. Experienced dogs were in the usual lying position. All healthy animals were monitored for blood pressure in the morning (9–10 hours), afternoon (14–15 hours) and evening (19–20 hours). Under the influence of aggressive factors of excessive force, inadequate violent chaotic reactions of the body occur, which leads to a state of shock. Periodic measurement of mean blood pressure in combination with other routine studies can identify patients at risk of decompensation at the stage when resuscitation is still possible. Systolic, diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate were measured. The mean blood pressure and Allgover shock index were calculated. We did not find a significant difference in blood pressure depending on body weight. Also, these figures fluctuate unreliably during the day and are the largest in the morning with a tendency to decrease in the evening. We have established the reference values of blood pressure of clinically healthy dogs at the level of the narrowed norm (M ± σ), taking into account the permitted number of the studied animals (n = 120). The shock index of Allgover in healthy animals is in the range of 0.6–0.9. The growth of the indicator indicates an increase in shock phenomena.

Introduction: Swimming is an inexpensive isotonic exercise that is useful for health promotion and prevention of disease. While studies based on body composition and swimming in India are few, the analysis of body composition parameters can provide accurate body assessment and serve as an ideal mode for fitness analysis and promotion of health. Aim: To assess the body composition, anthropometric and cardiac parameters of healthy swimmers and compare these variables with that of healthy non swimmers. Materials and Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Government Medical College, Thrissur, Kerala, India. Duration of study was from January 2017 to January 2018. A total 60 healthy individuals, 30 swimmers and 30 non swimmers were selected by simple random sampling method. Body composition parameters were estimated along with anthropometric measurements and cardiac parameters- height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), pulse rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Quantitative variables like body composition parameters were analysed using mean standard deviation and 95% confidential interval. Comparison of body composition parameters were analysed using independent t-test and significant level was kept at 5%. Results: The mean age of swimmers was 19.93±1.59 years and that of non swimmer subjects was 22.87±1.88 years. Body composition parameters included Body Fat Percentage (BFP p-value <0.001), Fat Mass (FM p-value <0.001) and Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR p-value <0.001) were found to be significantly decreased (p-value <0.05) in swimmers when compared to non swimmers. However, the Fat Free Mass (FFM p-value=0.13) and Fat Free Mass Index (FFMI p-value=0.22) were also decreased but comparable (p-value >0.05). Weight and BMI along with pulse, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure (p-value <0.001) were lower in swimmers than non swimmers and statistically significant (p-value <0.05) by independent t-test. Conclusion: The results indicated that, swimming can improve body composition parameters to a more healthy state and therefore can be advised as a form of regular physical activity with a goal to achieve ideal health and fitness.
