Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

2. PubMed’s Sponsor
• Introduction to the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM)
• The National Network of Libraries of Medicine®
• NN/LM Web site: http://nnlm.gov
3. The brief history of PubMed
• NLM has been indexing the biomedical literature since 1879, to help provide
health professionals access to information necessary for research, health
care, and education.
• What was once a printed index to articles, the Index Medicus, became a
database now known as MEDLINE®
. MEDLINE contains journal citations
and abstracts for biomedical literature from around the world.
• Since 1996, free access to MEDLINE has been available to the public online
via PubMed PubMed is a database developed by the National Center for
Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the National Library of Medicine (NLM)
available on the Web.
• PubMed is one of several databases under NCBI’s Entrez retrieval system.
• PubMed currently includes over 19 million bibliographic citations.
• PubMed also has links to the full text of articles at participating publishers’‑
Web sites, as well as biological data, sequence data, and more from other
Entrez Databases and from third parties.
4. Interrelationships between Entrez Databases
• PubMed provides links to the integrated molecular biology databases
maintained by NCBI. These databases contain: DNA and protein sequences,
genome mapping data, and 3 D protein structures, aligned sequences from‑
populations, and the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM). Links
between MEDLINE records and sequence records make it easy to find
MEDLINE abstracts associated with sequence records and vice versa.
• PubMed also provides links to chemical information in PubChem Substance,
PubChem Compound and PubChem Bioassay databases.
• The following diagram illustrates the relationships between some of the
information resources in Entrez:
5. The ISAR
process
• PubMed is a kind
of literature
database.
• Literature
database is a
typical
information
storage and
retrieval (ISAR)
system.
8. What’s in PubMed
• Most PubMed records are MEDLINE citations.
• Other records include those in different stages of
processing (including records provided directly from the
journal publisher) but destined to be MEDLINE citations.
• A relatively small number of records that are included in
PubMed but not selected for MEDLINE.
9. MEDLINE Citations
• PubMed provides access to MEDLINE, the National Library of Medicine’s
premier bibliographic database containing citations and author abstracts
from approximately 5,200 biomedical journals published in the United States
and in other countries.
• The scope of MEDLINE includes such diverse topics as microbiology,
delivery of health care, nutrition, pharmacology and environmental health.
The categories covered in MEDLINE include everything from anatomy,
organisms, diseases, psychiatry, and psychology to the physical sciences.
• MEDLINE currently contains over 17 million references dating back to 1948.
• New material is added Tuesday through Saturday.
• Coverage is worldwide, but most records (about 90%) are from English-
language sources or have English abstracts.
• Approximately 79% of the citations are included with the published abstract.
10. MEDLINE Journal Selection
• The Literature Selection Technical Review Committee
(LSTRC) meets three times a year and considers
approximately 140 titles for MEDLINE at each meeting.
• Final approval is made by the Director of the National
Library of Medicine.
• Titles are considered for scope and coverage, quality of
content, quality of editorial work, production quality,
audience, and type of content.
• For more details, see the NLM Fact Sheet, MEDLINE
Journal Selection, at
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/jsel.html.
11. MEDLINE®

The United States National Library of Medicine (NLM), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is the world's largest medical library. The collections of the National Library of Medicine include more than seven million books, journals, technical reports, manuscripts, microfilms, photographs, and images on medicine and related sciences, including some of the world's oldest and rarest works.
Medical libraries throughout the United States are joined together in a network. The purpose of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM®) is to provide health science practitioners, investigators, educators, and administrators in the United States with timely, convenient access to biomedical and health care information resources.
The network is administered by the National Library of Medicine.
It consists of eight Regional Medical Libraries (major institutions under contract to NLM), more than 159 Resource Libraries (primarily at medical schools), and some 4,762 Primary Access Libraries (primarily at hospitals).
The Regional Medical Libraries administer and coordinate services in the network's eight geographical regions.
In Process
These citations are being reviewed for inclusion in MEDLINE and, if in scope, subsequently are indexed with MeSH vocabulary. In addition the bibliographic data in these records is being checked for accuracy.
In process records carry the status tag: [PubMed – in process].
In process records are added to PubMed Tuesday-Saturday.
MEDLINE Citations
After Medical Subject Headings (NLM’s controlled vocabulary terms) and other indexing terms are added, the in process citations graduate to MEDLINE records. These “completed” records have also been checked for bibliographic accuracy.
Fully indexed MEDLINE records carry the status tag [PubMed – indexed for MEDLINE].
OLDMEDLINE Citations
About 1.8 million citations (most with no abstracts) are to journal article citations from two printed indexes: Cumulated Index Medicus (CIM) and the Current List of Medical Literature (CLML) published from 1948 to 1965. To search PubMed for all citations originating from the OLDMEDLINE print index conversion project, use jsubsetom.
The citations are from international biomedical journals covering the fields of medicine, preclinical sciences, and allied health sciences.
OLDMEDLINE citations have been created using standards that are different from the data entry standards for MEDLINE records. There are also variations among OLDMEDLINE citations in the data fields present as well as in their format, depending on the original source from which the citations were obtained.
Beginning in 2005, the original subject terms applied to the citations in the printed indexes are being mapped to current Medical Subject Headings (MeSH).
OLDMEDLINE records carry the status tag [PubMed – OLDMEDLINE] until all original subject terms are mapped to current MeSH. Once all terms are mapped, the records are promoted to status [PubMed – indexed for MEDLINE].
