Unravelling the Intricate Relationship Between Oxidative Stress and Endothelial Dysfunction in Hypertension.

Introduction: Hypertension (HTN), a leading risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, is intricately linked with endothelial dysfunction, a hallmark of vascular pathology. The effect of oxidative stress in maintaining the optimum endothelial function in the regulation of blood pressure is yet to be explored. While numerous factors contribute to the pathogenesis of HTN, emerging evidence highlights the pivotal role of oxidative stress in endothelial dysfunction, offering novel insights into the underlying mechanisms.

Telerehabilitation: Exploring the Untapped Potential.

Telerehabilitation is a burgeoning field that holds immense promise in revolutionizing the delivery of rehabilitation services. Defined as a branch of telecommunication utilizing technologies such as the internet, it facilitates remote interaction between healthcare providers and patients, transcending geographical barriers. This method proves invaluable in patient assessment, counseling, and treatment across various medical domains, including physical therapy, speech therapy, psychotherapy, and occupational therapy.

Public Health in Antarctica.

Public health in Antarctica is a pertinent issue that often gets overlooked. While the term 'public health' generally refers to the health of a larger community or the public, this concept is equally applicable to small, isolated populations, such as those residing in Antarctica. The principles of public health, including disease prevention, health promotion, and safety, are crucial for the well-being of those living and working in Antarctica.

The Burden of Hypertension and Prehypertension in a Community Health Centre of Haryana.

Background Hypertension (HTN) is endemic in India and it is considered a public health challenge in both economically developed and developing nations. Unfortunately, despite its high prevalence, its awareness, treatment, and control status are low in urban as well as rural Indian populations. Objectives To determine the burden of hypertension and prehypertension in a Community Health Center (CHC) and to find the association of hypertension with the age group and sex of study subjects.
