Measurement of Blood Pressure01:17

Measurement of Blood Pressure

1.3K
Assessing blood pressure is a standard procedure executed in virtually all medical environments. The method utilized today was established over a hundred years ago by an innovative Russian doctor, Dr. Nikolai Korotkoff. The soft ticking noise, known as Korotkoff sounds, heard while taking blood pressure readings results from turbulent blood flow within the vessels. The apparatus required for this procedure includes a sphygmomanometer, a blood pressure cuff attached to a gauge, and a...

Definition and Measurement of Pressure: Atmospheric Pressure, Barometer, and Manometer

Gas pressure is caused by force exerted by gas molecules colliding with the surfaces of objects. Although the force of each collision is very small, any surface of an appreciable area experiences a large number of collisions in a short time, which can result in high pressure.

Requirements for Human Life

9.8K
The Earth and its atmosphere have provided humans with air, water, and food, but these are not the only requirements for survival. Humans also require a specific range of temperature and pressure that the Earth and its atmosphere provides.
Oxygen
Atmospheric air is only about 20 percent oxygen, but that oxygen is a key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive, including the reactions that produce ATP. Brain cells are susceptible to a lack of oxygen because they require a...

Variation of Atmospheric Pressure01:18

Variation of Atmospheric Pressure

2.8K
Change in atmospheric pressure with height is particularly interesting. The decrease in atmospheric pressure with increasing altitude is due to the decreasing gravitational force per unit area as we move away from the surface of the earth.
Assuming the air temperature is constant at a given altitude and that the ideal gas law of thermodynamics describes the atmosphere to a good approximation, one can find the variation of atmospheric pressure with height.
Let p(y) be the atmospheric pressure at...

Blood Pressure01:24

Blood Pressure

3.6K
The movement of blood in a human body, commonly referred to as blood flow, is determined by the volume of blood that traverses a certain section of the bodily system per unit time. It is the rhythmic contraction of the heart's ventricles that primarily instigates this movement. As the ventricles contract, blood is forced into the prominent arteries, which then flow from areas of greater pressure to lower pressure areas. This movement continues into smaller arteries and arterioles and...

Correlation01:09

Correlation

12.4K
In statistics, two variables are said to be correlated if the values of one variable are associated with the other variable. Depending on the relationship between two variables, correlation can be of three types– positive correlation, negative correlation, and zero correlation.
Two variables, for example, a and b, are said to be positively correlated if both variables move in the same direction. In other words, a positive correlation exists between two variables, a and b, if:

Summary

Meniere attacks are linked to atmospheric pressure and temperature changes, with higher incidence in summer. Lower atmospheric pressure, especially during typhoons, may worsen Meniere disease symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Environmental Medicine
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Meniere's disease (MD) is a neurotological condition affecting balance and hearing.
  • Environmental factors are suspected triggers for Meniere attacks.
  • Understanding these triggers can aid in patient management and prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the correlation between Meniere attacks and meteorological parameters.
  • To identify specific weather conditions that may precipitate Meniere attacks.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of Meniere's disease patient data over three years (2015-2017).
  • Correlation of Meniere attack onset with atmospheric pressure, temperature, relative humidity, and rainfall.
  • Comparison of atmospheric pressure during typhoon and non-typhoon months.

Main Results:

  • Meniere attacks showed a significant correlation with atmospheric pressure (negative) and temperature (positive).
  • Summer season exhibited a higher incidence of Meniere attacks compared to winter.
  • No significant correlation was found between Meniere attacks and relative humidity or rainfall.
  • Atmospheric pressure decreased significantly during months with typhoons.

Conclusions:

  • Atmospheric pressure and temperature are key meteorological factors associated with Meniere attack onset.
  • The higher incidence of Meniere attacks in summer may be linked to lower atmospheric pressure, potentially exacerbating endolymphatic hydrops.
  • Typhoon-related pressure drops could further influence Meniere attack frequency.
