1912 advertisement for tea in the Sydney Morning Herald, describing its supposed health benefits. The health effects of tea have been studied throughout human history.

The term is not intrinsic to tea or bread products only; rather, it describes limited dietary patterns that lead to reduced calories resulting in a deficiency of vitamins and other nutrients.
Exercise hypertension is an excessive rise in blood pressure during exercise. Many of those with exercise hypertension have spikes in systolic pressure to 250 mmHg or greater. A rise in systolic blood pressure to over 200 mmHg when exercising at 100 W is pathological and a rise in pressure over 220 mmHg needs to be controlled by the appropriate ...
In the absence of hydrostatic effects (e.g. standing), mean blood pressure decreases as the circulating blood moves away from the heart through arteries and capillaries due to viscous losses of energy. Mean blood pressure drops over the whole circulation, although most of the fall occurs along the small arteries and arterioles. [75]
Multiple blood pressure readings (at least two) spaced 1–2 minutes apart should be obtained to ensure accuracy. [92] Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring over 12 to 24 hours is the most accurate method to confirm the diagnosis. [93] An exception to this is those with very high blood pressure readings, especially when there is poor organ ...
Compartment syndrome is a clinical diagnosis, i.e., no diagnostic test conclusively proves its presence or absence, but direct measurement of the pressure in a fascial compartment, [11] and the difference between this pressure and the blood pressure, [22] may be used to assess its severity. High pressures in the compartment and a small ...
