Gender Variations

<p class="1Body">The issue of variations in physiological indicators of wellbeing based on gender serves as incentive for natural landscape environment interactions. This study examined gender variations in blood pressure, pulse rate and respiratory rate between contact with low-altitude urban (pretest) and mountain landscape environments (posttest). To attain the goal of this study, 38 respondents (16 males, 22 females) participated in the seven-day experimental study. Pretest and posttest measures of blood pressure, pulse rate and respiratory rate were elicited from both male and female respondents at the urban environment within the first three days and at the mountain landscape environment the following three days. Results show that both male and female systolic blood pressure increased at the mountain landscape environment while their diastolic blood pressure reduced marginally. There was no difference in gender response in terms of pulse rate. Conversely, male respondents experienced reduction of respiratory rate at the mountain landscape environment while female respondents experienced increase. Findings suggest that the only apparent difference in gender response is in their respiratory rate. The extent to which gender might be related to physiological wellbeing through contact with natural mountain landscape environment is revealed. Hence, a platform is set for policy makers and governments for the creative harnessing of mountain landscape environments.</p>

Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui profil nyeri (VAS) dan perubahan hemodinamik seperti: tekanan darah, laju nadi dan laju napas pada pasien pasca bedah seksio sesarea dengan analgetik petidin. Penelitian yang dilakukan di ruang pemulihan pasca bedah Instalasi Bedah Sentral (IBS) dan Instalasi Rawat Darurat (IRD) serta ruang perawatan Instalasi Rawat Inap D (IRINA D) di RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado pada bulan November-Desember 2014 merupakan penelitian yang bersifat deskriptif prospektif. Dalam rentang waktu tersebut diperoleh 20 kasus yang dilakukan operasi seksio sesarea dengan menggunakan anestesia lokal (spinal anestesia) yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa rata-rata skor VAS pada jam ke-0 adalah 0,65, jam ke-2 menjadi 0,10 lalu jam ke-4 menjadi 3,20 dan jam ke-6 menjadi 9,70. Rata-rata tekanan darah sistolik (TDS) pada jam ke-0 adalah 110 mmHg, jam ke-2 menjadi 104 mmHg, jam ke-4 menjadi 114 mmHg dan jam ke-6 menjadi 122,5 mmHg. Rata-rata tekanan darah diastolik (TDD) pada jam ke-0 adalah 71,5 mmHg, jam ke-2 menjadi 67 mmHg, jam ke-4 menjadi 74 mmHg dan jam ke-6 menjadi 82,5 mmHg. Rata-rata MAP pada jam ke-0 adalah 97,17 mmHg, jam ke-2 menjadi 91,67 mmHg, jam ke-4 menjadi 100,67 mmHg dan jam ke-6 menjadi 109,17 mmHg. Rata-rata laju nadi pada jam ke-0 adalah 73,60x/m, jam ke-2 menjadi 78,05x/m lalu jam ke-4 menjadi 79,85x/m dan jam ke-6 menjadi 85,65x/m. Rata-rata laju napas jam ke-0 adalah 21,10x/m, jam ke-2 menjadi 18,95x/m, jam ke-4 menjadi 20,60x/m dan jam ke-6 menjadi 25,20x/m.Kata kunci: VAS, perubahan hemodinamik, petidinAbstract: The purpose of this research is to know the profile of pain with assessment methods VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) and haemodynamic changes such as: blood pressure, pulse rate and respiratory rate in caesarean section post-surgery patients with pethidine analgesic. Research done in the recovery room after surgery of the Central Surgical Installation (IBS) and the Installation of Emergency (IRD) as well as space Installation Care Inpatient D (IRINA D) at was Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado in November 2014 to December 2014 is a prospective descriptive research. In the span of time retrieved 20 cases caesarean section by using local anesthesia (spinal anesthesia) that meet the criteria inclusion. It can be concluded that the average score of VAS at the 0 hour is 0.65, at the 2nd hour being 0.10 and then at the 4th hour be 3.20 and at the 6th hour to 9.70. The average of systolic blood pressure at the 0 hour is 110 mmHg, at the 2nd hour to be 104 mmHg and then the 4th hour be 114 mmHg and 6th hour be 122,5 mmHg. The average of diastolic blood pressure at the 0 hour is 71,5 mmHg, at the 2nd hour to 67 mmHg and then on the 4th hour be 74 mmHg and at the 6th hour be 82.5 mmHg. The average of mean arterial pressure (MAP) at the 0 hour is 97,17 mmHg, 2nd hour to be 91,67 mmHg, 4th hour be 100,67 mmHg and 6th hour be 109,17 mmHg. The average of pulse rate at the 0 hour is 73,60 x/min, 2nd hour to 78,05x/min and then at the 4th hour be 79,85x/min and 6th hour being 85,65x/min. The average of respiratory rate at the 0 hour is 21,10 x/min, at the 2nd hour being 18, 95x/min and then at the 4th hour to 20,60 x/min and 6th hour to 25, 20 x/min.Keywords: VAS, haemodynamic changes, pethidine

The present study is to correlate bleeding time and clotting time with blood pressure, pulse rate and respiratory rate. A total of 30 apparently healthy, male and female students aged 18-25 years, were included in the study. Bleeding time, clotting time, blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate was recorded by standard methods. Significant positive correlation was present between DBP and Pulse rate with bleeding time (P<0.05). Significant negative correlation was observed between respiratory rate with bleeding time (P<0.05). Significant negative correlation was present between clotting time and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (P<0.05). Significant positive correlation was observed between pulse rate and respiratory rate with clotting time (P<0.01). Our study observes correlations between bleeding time and clotting time and blood pressure, pulse rate and respiratory rate. We recommend further detailed studies in this area to understand in detail about the associations, to support diagnostic importance of bleeding time and clotting time.

Abstract Research examining biological risk is critical given that both the Mexican and U.S. populations are aging. Biomarkers can help us understand underlying disease patterns among Mexican-origin individuals in Mexico and the U.S. to help inform disease-prevention efforts for these populations. Using data from the 2012 Mexican Health and Aging Study and the 2010/2012 Health and Retirement Study, we examine seven biomarkers known to predict health risk: systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, and C-reactive protein. Logistic regression models, controlling for age and sex, are used to predict high-risk for each biomarker among Mexico-born Mexicans, Mexico-born Mexican-Americans, and U.S.-born Mexican-Americans. Results show that Mexico-born Mexicans exhibit higher biological risk for systolic blood pressure, pulse rate, low HDL cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, and inflammation than Mexico-born and U.S.-born Mexican-Americans. Additionally accounting for socioeconomic status and health behaviors did not explain differences in high-risk among Mexican-born Mexicans.
