The Eye Foundation Hospital in Itamogiri, Ijebu – Mushin in the Ijebu-East Local Government Area and the General Hospital in Ijebu-Ode in Ogun State, Nigeria, investigated albumin levels in hypertensive patients with and without cataracts. Simple random selection was used to choose 150 samples from the study area. There was no significant difference in albumin

Sleep Disorders and Their Relationship with Cardiovascular Diseases: A Review | Chapter 16 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 13

Sleep is a physiological process that happens to everyone. Approximately one-third of a person’s life is spent sleeping. Sleeping for 7-9 hours a day, falling asleep effortlessly and staying asleep without interruption, waking up feeling refreshed, and remaining awake during the day are all signs of restorative sleep. Sleep disorders, such as insomnia, hypersomnolence, parasomnias,

Role of Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring in Management of Hypertension in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease on Hemodialysis | Book Publisher International

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension (HTN) are closely linked, and either can cause or aggravate the other. When compared to office blood pressure, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) has successfully detected hypertensive CKD patients at elevated risk. ABPM provides data on circadian and short-term blood pressure fluctuation, both of which are linked to

Metabolic Syndrome in Older Women: A Stress Management Treatment Model | Chapter 8 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 13

The goal of this study was to see if Lipp Stress Control Training can help people with metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is defined by the presence of several risk factors such as glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, as well as poor diet, sedentariness, tobacco use, alcoholism, and excessive stress. The study included 45 older women

Determination of Diabetes and Dyslipidemia Goals in the Management of Diabetes | Chapter 6 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 14

Diabetes Type I and Type II have an increased risk of early atherosclerotic CVD, such as CHD and PAD [1], and it is well known that glucose control improves TG levels and cholesterol-lowering has beneficial effects on CVD outcomes in T1DM and T2DM.

Role of Berries and Its Bioactive Compounds in Treating Hypertension: A Review| Chapter 2 | Current Aspects in Pharmaceutical Research and Development Vol. 1

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in adults, and it is thought to be the primary cause of ischemic heart disease, myocardial necrosis, cardiac failure, renal illness, atherosclerosis, and cerebrovascular accident. Hypertension is known as the “silent killer” since it is an asymptomatic disease with no symptoms in

Primary Aldosteronism Due to a Sub Centimeter Unilateral Adrenal Adenoma: A Case Report | Chapter 18 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 1

In patients with essential hypertension, primary hyperaldosteronism is the source of at least 10% of the hypertension. People with the condition have far more cardiovascular and renal consequences than patients with essential hypertension, hence screening and diagnosis are vital. For a long time, we have been giving the patient the diagnosis of resistant hypertension. We

Determination of Portal Vein Diameter and Velocity Using Ultrasound | Chapter 6 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 1

This study used ultrasound to establish standards for normal portal vein diameter and portal venous velocity, which can aid in the early detection of portal hypertension, as well as to develop an indigenous index for healthy Sudanese that correlates with body characteristics such as age, gender, weight, height, and abdominal circumference (AC). The study’s importance

Successful Maternal and Fetal Outcome in Patients with Takayasu Arteritis: Two Rare Case Reports | Chapter 10 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 15

Takayasu’s arteritis is a rare idiopathic inflammatory disease of the big arteries that mostly affects the aorta, its primary branches, and the coronary and pulmonary arteries. It is most commonly found in women of childbearing age (80 percent ). Pregnancy, while not commonly related with an exacerbation of inflammatory vascular lesions, is indicated to be
