Central aortic blood pressure (CAP or CASP) is the blood pressure at the root of aorta. Studies have shown the importance of central aortic pressure and its implications in assessing the efficacy of antihypertensive treatment with respect to cardiovascular risk factors.
The traditional method of measuring blood pressure in the arms has been shown to underestimate the efficacy of drugs such as amlodipine and overestimate the efficacy of those like atenolol.
Come visit us and get your CASP test that is a better independent predictor of cardiovascular and renal outcome.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

1. Q & A for Arterial Pulse Waveform
for BPro® A-PULSE CASP
Introduction:
A-PULSE CASP is a revolutionary product patented by
HealthSTATS International Pte Ltd available through
My PulseWave for Integrative Medicine screening. It is
able to measure accurately the Central Aortic Systolic
Pressure (CASP), which is the blood pressure at the root
of the aorta. It is the only device which can be used in
common clinical setting. CASP has been shown in many
recent studies as an important determinant for strokes
and CVS events. It has been validated via invasive
study and achieved an accuracy (co-relation) R= 0.9917
independently. A-PULSE CASP is FDA and CE MDD
approved. It is also being used in large drug trials by
Pharmaceutical companies. A-PULSE CASP is now
available through the Synergy Worldwide network.
1. What is arterial pulse
waveform?
When the left ventricle ejects blood into the
aorta in systole, the perturbation generates
a wave that initially travels through the
arteries from the heart towards the arterial
tree.
Pulse waveform has 2 components.
1. Forward traveling wave when the left
ventricle contracts and
2. Reflected wave returning back from the
peripheral.
3. Diagrammatic Representation of a
Radial Arterial Pulse Wave
Figure 1. Diagrammatic Representation of a Radial Arterial Pulse
Wave
This is the blood pressure at the root of the
aorta or the largest artery in the body, as the
blood is being pumped out of the heart. This
pressure is called Central Aortic Systolic
Pressure or CASP. CASP has been shown
to be an important factor in the relation to
strokes and cardiovascular events, more so
than the brachial pressure, or the pressure at
the arm commonly.

3. How to measure CASP?
3.1 Invasive method
This is direct measurement and has been considered as the most accurate method. To perform the measurement, a
catheter must be inserted into the aortic root from brachial or femoral artery, which is obviously an invasive method
and could result in complications (Fig. 3). This invasive method of measuring CASP is not available in clinical setting.
However, A-PULSE CASP can be used in clinic and the accuracy has been validated against this invasive method, the
result is R= 0.9917 (co-relation).
3.2 Non-invasive method
HealthSTATS (HS) invented a device named BPro® which is able to capture radial pressure waveforms. Furthermore,
HS developed a proprietary formula to derive central aortic systolic pressure (CASP) from the calibrated radial

4. What is augmentation index?
Figure 4. Non-invasive measurement of CASP using HealthSTATS BPro® device and APULSE software.
The difference between the second and first systolic peaks expressed as a percentage of the pulse pressure.
5. What is the arterial compliance?
The ability of an artery to increase the volume in response to a given increase in blood pressure is called compliance.
6. What is pulse wave velocity?
PWV is the speed at which the pressure waveform travels (wave propagation) along the aorta and large arteries, during
each cardiac cycle.
7. What is applanation tonometry?
The principle of applanation tonometry is that the force acting on the plunger is proportional to the pressure in the
artery when where the artery surface is flattened.
8. How does CASP help hypertension diagnosis and treatment in primary care?
PAGE 2
To evaluate CASP in primary care, we must establish the normal range of CASP. Besides, guidelines of hypertension
management should be redesigned based on the stratification of CASP. More and more epidemic clinical studies need
to be done to consolidate the normal range of CASP for different races. BPro® and A-PULSE CASP can be used to
fulfill this task.
3. Sample Waveform of different age groups
19 years old
For a normal young person, where the arteries are generally compliant, the slow traveling reflected wave from the
peripheral occurs during diastole, thus enhancing perfusion of the coronary arteries.
Figure 5. Sample waveform of a 19 year old
47 years old
With age, the arteries stiffen. Pulse wave velocity increases and the reflected wave now travels faster and at a higher
amplitude, and occurs during systole. This has the effect of prolonging the systolic phase (increasing left ventricular
workload and oxygen requirements) but a compromise in coronary artery perfusion
Figure 6. Sample waveform of a 47 year old.
82 years old
In the elderly, further arterial stiffening causes the reflected wave to return much faster and at much higher amplitude;
and coincide very close to the systolic peak, resulting in an augmented wave. The heart now needs to contract even
harder (to overcome the oncoming reflected wave) and for a longer period. At the same time, coronary artery perfusion
is further compromised.
Figure 7. Sample waveform of an 82 year old.
4. Q & A For Arterial Pulse Waveform
Various indices captured by A-PULSE CASP
Systolic & Diastolic Pressure
The systolic pressure (SBP) is the peak pressure in the arteries
when the heart contracts while the diastolic pressure (DBP) is
the lowest pressure when the heart relaxes.
Pulse Pressure (PP)
PP is the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure.
Normal PP in the brachial artery is approximately 40mmHg.
Increase PP may be due to several reasons, e.g. exercise
(temporary increase), anemia, Hyperthyroidism, arterial
stiffening (usually about 50-60 years)6.
Figure 8. SBP is the peak pressure while DBP is
the lowest pressure.
Central Aortic Systolic Pressure
(CASP)
Studies have shown that central pressure better represents
the load imposed on the coronary and cerebral arteries and
hence is more strongly related to vascular hypertrophy, extent
of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events than brachial
pressure10-12.
Radial Augmentation Pressure (rAP) &
Radial Augmentation Index (rAI)
Figure 9. PP is the difference between the maximum and minimum pressures.
rAI is defined as augmented pressure as a percentage of pulse
pressure. It is also influenced by factors such as age and
gender. rAP is defined as the difference between 1st [SBP1]
and 2nd [SBP2] systolic peaks.
Peak Relative Time
It is the relative time between the 2 peaks. [T1-T2] In older
individuals (> 60), pulse pressure amplification (from central
SBP to peripheral SBP) is diminished as a consequence of
increased arterial stiffness and the early return of reflected
waves in the central arteries. Therefore, the relative timing of
the pressure waves merging (forward-backward traveling) may
be regarded as the third principal parameter that defines central
BP28. A higher peak relative time indicated that the degree of
arterial stiffness has increased.

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)
PAGE 4
Mean arterial pressure is the mean perfusion pressure
throughout the cardiac cycle. It is also the strongest
predictor for stroke and cerebrovascular mortality
as it also indicates the perfusion pressure of cerebral
circulation16.
Normal MAP should be 95±15mmHg. However, it is also
dependent on:
•
Age- older people tends to have higher MAP;
•
Sex- men have a wider deviation;
•
Ethnic group- so far, all data are available from the
western population. No data is available yet for the
Asian population.
5. BPro® Arterial Pulse Waveform
When the heart contracts a volume of blood is squeezed
into the Aorta causing it to stretch to accommodate this
new blood volume. Then as the vessel walls return to
normal, blood is pushed from the Aorta through the
arteries. This process of expansion and returning to
normal repeats with each beat of the heart as blood travels
through your arteries.
If you imagine for a moment that your blood was a strand
of pearls being pulled through a much smaller rubber
tube, then you will be able to think of circulation not as
a series of single beats but as a wave pattern of blood
flow. This simplified version of the complex process of
circulation does not take into account many aspects of
fluid dynamics; however, it does illustrate the two points
that I wish to discuss further which are wave patterns and
the importance of arterial elasticity.
Have you ever stood at the edge of a lake in the morning
when the water is calm and then toss a stone into the lake
just to watch the waves that are formed? If you have,
then you have seen the concentric circles that are formed
which travel away from the point where the stone entered
the water. If we exclude the effects of fluid dynamics as
we did earlier, then these waves would travel unchanged
to the other side of the lake. If these waves encountered
a rock or log along the way then they would bend around
the obstruction, thus altering the wave pattern, but still
would continue to the far shore. Now in our arteries
these rocks and logs represent build-ups inside the lining
of the artery or a stiffening of the artery wall which are
precursors to Atherosclerosis and Arteriosclerosis. By
analyzing the alterations of a Pulse Wave one can glean a
tremendous amount of information about the health and
elasticity of an individual’s arterial system.
The analysis of the pulse wave consists of measuring the
relationship between the forward traveling waves created
by the contraction of the heart and reflected waves that
travel back towards the heart created by resistance of the
arteries. These two wave forms overlap each other to
form the pulse wave. As an individual looses elasticity
in their arteries the reflected resistance waves increase
in intensity, further altering the pulse wave and these
changes can be measured.
There are primarily two different ways that you can noninvasively measure pulse waves. The first is to measure
the movement of the artery walls and the second is to
measure the flow of blood through the artery and then
from those measurements, estimate the movement of the
artery wall. Research facilities and hospitals generally
utilize technologies that specifically measure the artery
walls because it is through this type of measurement that
the greatest level of precision and accuracy is obtained.
I have always incorporated the highest level of testing
equipment available in our institute, because I closely
monitor the arterial elasticity of our patients. I need the
assurance that changes in the test results of a patient
are due to treatments and not fluctuations in the testing
equipment.
Other technologies that measure blood flow and then
extrapolate arterial wall movement are still valuable
tools because they provide information of the health and
elasticity of arteries; they are just prone to fluctuations
in test results. These fluctuations result from the rapidly
changing environment that exists inside our capillaries.
The most exciting thing I have seen with these type of
devices recently is the advances in the computer industry
which have shrunken the size of this technology to that of
a wristwatch and inexpensive enough for commercial use.
I believe that once more people become aware of the
importance of arterial elasticity and have access to testing
that only then will we have a chance at impacting the
staggering statistics of cardiovascular disease in positive
and meaningful way.

A Pulse CASP
SBP- Systolic Blood Pressure
The blood pressure when the heart is contracting. It
is specifically the maximum arterial pressure during
contraction of the left ventricle of the heart. The time at
which ventricular contraction occurs is called systole.
In a blood pressure reading, the systolic pressure is
typically the first number recorded. For example,
with a blood pressure of 120/80 (“120 over 80”), the
systolic pressure is 120. By “120” is meant 120 mm Hg
(millimeters of mercury).
6. Q & A For Arterial Pulse Waveform
DBP- Diastolic Blood Pressure
The diastolic pressure is specifically the minimum arterial
pressure during relaxation and dilatation of the ventricles
of the heart when the ventricles fill with blood.
In a blood pressure reading, the diastolic pressure is
typically the second number recorded. For example, with
a blood pressure of 120/80 (“120 over 80”), the diastolic
pressure is 80. By “80” is meant 80 mm Hg (millimeters
of mercury).
PP- Pulse Pressure
Blood pressure measurements include both a systolic
and a diastolic reading. These two readings are taken
at opposite ends of the cardiac cycle and are a person’s
highest and lowest blood pressure levels. The difference
between these two extremes is called the pulse pressure,
and represents the force that your heart generates each
time it contracts.
a person with a pulse pressure of 40 has normal blood
pressure. Consider these examples:
Equal Pulse Pressure Doesn’t Mean Equal Risk:
Clearly, a blood pressure of 140/100 is much different
than 120/80. These examples demonstrate that pulse
pressure, by itself, can’t be used to make treatment
decisions when other information is unavailable.
A person with normal blood pressure (120/80) will have a
pulse pressure of 40 (120-80). But that doesn’t mean that
•
Systolic Pressure = 120; Diastolic Pressure = 80;
Pulse Pressure = 120-80 = 40
•
Systolic Pressure = 140; Diastolic Pressure = 100;
Pulse Pressure = 140-100 = 40
MAP2- Mean Arterial Pressure
Based on the time weighted average of blood flow. MAP
is considered to be the perfusion pressure seen by organs
in the body. It is believed that a MAP that is greater than
60 mmHg is enough to sustain the organs of the average
person.
If the MAP falls significantly below this number for an
appreciable time, the end organ will not get enough blood
flow, and will become ischemic.
PR- Pulse Rate
CASP: Derived Central Aortic Systolic Blood Pressured
This value provides a non-invasive assessment of central
aortic blood pressure. Higher than normal values of
central aortic systolic blood pressure impact the organs of
the body and over time can cause organ damage. Normal

rAI: Radial Augmentation Index
This is the index that compares the amplitude of the
reflected wave from arteries to the amplitude of the
forward traveling wave of blood flow created by the
contraction of the heart. This value is a percentage of the
reflected wave to the height of the forward wave pattern.
Lower numbers here indicate more elastic and pliable
arteries.
rAP: This is the blood pressure at the height of the
reflected wave pattern. Lower values here are better.
This is a measure of cardiac after-load and the efficiency
of the cardiovascular system.
PRT: This is the relative time interval between
the Systolic Blood Pressure peak and the reflected
augmentation peak.
Note: When the reflected wave comes back lower in amplitude and later in time then the arteries have a greater amount of arterial elasticity. Higher reflective waves
that rebound in shorter time intervals indicate stiff and less elastic arteries.
