According to the NHS, high blood pressure is considered to be 135/85 or higher if your reading was taken at home, or 140/90mmHg or higher if your reading was taken at a pharmacy, GP surgery or clinic.

In patients with cirrhosis and ascites, however, effective serum oncotic pressure and hydrostatic portal pressure are major determinants of rate and direction of fluid movement. 12,16–18 When ...

According to some studies, between 11 and 38% of pregnant women experience gastrointestinal issues, including constipation ...

Certain movement can help combat high blood pressure without having to do any rigorous exercise, according to research. The findings, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found ...

"This salt battery harvests osmotic energy where the river meets the sea." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 24 April 2024. <www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2024 / 04 / 240424111549.htm>.

Osmotic energy can be generated anywhere salt gradients are found, but the available technologies to capture this renewable energy have room for improvement. One method uses an array of reverse ...

Rapid conversion of force into a biological signal enables living cells to respond to mechanical forces in their environment. The force is believed to initially affect the plasma membrane and then ...

Electro-osmotic consolidation (EO) is a well-established technique widely employed for the treatment of soft foundations. Research studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of EO in ...

The researchers showed that the osmotic pressure can be measured by simply checking the droplet size. They then introduced these double-droplets into living cells and tissues using glass ...

To understand how cells regulate pressure in these tissues, or how they fail to do so in disease, it is essential to measure and 'see' the osmotic pressure in live tissues.
