Systolic blood pressure (SBP)‚ diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded by using automatic sphygmomanometer (National). Study was done in 2 steps. Each subject lied in left lateral position (step-1) posture for 10 minutes. SBP‚ DBP and HR were recorded from left arm. Then the subject was asked to dip his right hand in cold water at 8Oc for two min

Colonisation is when microorganisms become a part of the normal internal flora. These mircoorganisms are not harmful to the human‚ but when they reproduce and multiply they join the natural flora of the body and they all live together. Infection is when a pathogen (infection causing microorganism) invades the body and start to reproduce in any tissue of the human. Examples of infection include the common cold‚ skin infections (warts) and gastroenteritis. Disease refers to a disruption in the sturture

MEASURING HYPERTENSION It is measured with a sphygmomanometer‚ which assesses the levels of the systolic and diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure is the greatest pressure developed during ventricular contraction‚ whereas diastolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries when the heart is relaxed. Systolic
