What is Radial Artery?

Image
All arteries have a pulse, but it's easier to palpate (feel) the pulse or heartbeat at certain locations. it's easier to feel the pulse or heart beat when the artery is near the surface of the skin and when there's firm tissue (such as a bone) beneath the artery. The three commonest sites are the radial (wrist), carotid (throat), and brachial The area that you choose to check the pulse may vary depending upon the condition of the patient. The most commonly used is Radial pulse (wrist area). The radial pulse (the pulse is taken using radial artery) is taken at a point where the radial artery crosses the bones of the wrist. When the patient’s hand is turned so that the palm is facing up, the radial pulse is taken on the thumb side of the top side of the wrist. Q. Which artery is usually palpated to get the pulse? Brachial Radial Axillary Ulnar

Certain professions and late dinners bad for women’s heart health

Image
A new study from a team from Dornsife School of Public Health at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has revealed that post-menopausal women in certain professions are more likely to suffer from heart diseases and other heart problems. Many of these jobs include those in health care, says the study. The results of the study are to be presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2019 to be held in Philadelphia between November 16th and 18th. For this study and to draw conclusions, the team had to investigate the heart health of a large number of women. They included over 65,000 postmenopausal women for their analysis and the average age of the study population was 63 years. These women and their data were part of the Women’s Health Initiative study. In the database, the team noted 20 common professions of the women and classified them according to the “ Life’s Simple 7 cardiovascular health metrics ” prescribed by the American Heart Association.

Stress and disrupted circadian rhythm affect metabolism

Image
The researchers studied mice models in the laboratory wherein they introduced genetic alterations in various parts of the circadian rhythm machinery. They also exposed the mice to social stress, wherein they exposed the male mice to an unknown and dominant male. The male mice had increased stress responses depending on the time they were exposed to the stress. In a series of experiments, the team also found that the stress responses were also dependent on the internal body clock, and body weight and food intake had been negatively affected when stress happens during their inactive phase, which is during the daytime in mouse, and night-time in humans. Therefore, they found that repeated exposure to stress negatively affected metabolism, due to long-lasting effects on stress responses. The experiments shed light on who shift-work, chronic stress, jet lag, and lack of good sleep can lead to metabolic disorders. Today, many people are faced with metabolic diseases, including obesity. Many ...
