Introduction Mean arterial blood pressure is the average arterial pressure in a cardiac cycle. It is set by cardiac output and total peripheral resistance; it sets the average driving pressure and controls the flow. The pulse pressure is the difference between the highest and lowest pressure (systolic and diastolic blood pressure) readings during a subject’s cardiac cycle. Both mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure are detected by baroreceptors. The baroreceptors respond to stretching of the

This article examines a multicenter double-blind placebo-controlled trial of cilostazol in preventing and reducing the risk of strokes. The results showed that cilostazol improved symptomatic regression by 2% in MRA scans and 4% in TCD tests. The effectiveness of cilostazol as a prevention for ischemic strokes was also compared against aspirin and reducing alcohol consumption. A background on ischemic strokes Ischemic strokes account for around 80% of all strokes, making them the most common type

Blood Clots What are blood clots? Blood is a liquid that flows within blood vessels. It is constantly in motion as the heart pumps blood through arteries to the different organs and cells of the body. The blood is returned back to the heart by the veins.

Blood consists of: · red blood cells containing hemoglobin that

You may be capable of spreading your germs for longer than you think.

But given that the average cold lasts one to two weeks, it’s not realistic to shut yourself (or your kids) up at home for every sniffle. “Even when you’re starting to feel better, be sure to
