CENTRAL BLOOD PRESSURE IN CONJUNCTION WITH CONVENTIONAL BLOOD PRESSURE MAY EXPLAIN TARGET ORGAN CHANGES BETTER THAN CONVENTIONAL PRESSURE ALONE IN HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS.

Background: Although, it is well-recognized that conventional BP alone may not be enough to determine target organ changes associated with hypertension and in cardiovascular events risk assessment, there is scarcity of data on this topic.

Objectives: To determine how central BP compares with conventional BP in their association with left ventricular mass index (LVMI), among hypertensive patients.

Methods: Ninety-five participants were evaluated.

AORTIC REFLECTION MAGNITUDE SUGGESTS A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH BODY MASS INDEX THAN OBTAINED IN OTHER CONVENTIONAL BLOOD PRESSURE PARAMETERS, IN A GROUP OF HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS.

Background: Although body mass index (BMI) is an important confounder of hypertension and a relationship has been postulated between BMI and blood pressure (BP) in the hypertensive range, the relationship between BMI and central BP remains poorly studied.

Objectives: To determine how central BP parameters relate to BMI, in a group of hypertensive patients.

Methods: In ongoing data, 55 hypertensive patients (average age =52.

Dataset on a reliability generalization meta-analysis of the Oxford COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy scale.

The Oxford COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Scale is a 7-item psychometric scale developed by Freeman and colleagues a year after detecting the first case of the disease in 2019. The scale assesses people's thoughts, feelings, and behavior toward COVID-19 vaccines. A comprehensive search of major electronic databases, including Scopus, Clarivate Analytics, and PubMed, was conducted to extract eligible articles for inclusion in this meta-analysis.

Spatial Distribution and Long-Term Persistence of -Infected in the Mentari Court, Malaysia.

Dengue is endemic in Malaysia, and vector control strategies are vital to reduce dengue transmission. The strain AlbB carried by both sexes of was released in Mentari Court, a high-rise residential site, in October 2017 and stopped after 20 weeks. frequencies are still being monitored at multiple traps across this site, providing an opportunity to examine the spatiotemporal distribution of and mosquito density with respect to year, residential block, and floor, using spatial interpolation in ArcGIS, GLMs, and contingency analyses.
