“…An extensive chart review of HIV-positive subjects included past and current medical diagnoses, concomitant medications, and detailed ART history. Blood pressure measurements were obtained at each time-point with a manual sphygmomanometer by standard auscultatory methods [32] and recorded as the mean value of three consecutive measurements.…”

“…Hardening suggests tissue fibrosis and can apply to most chronic kidney diseases but Volhard distinguished three variants of ‘nephrosclerosis', the third one linked to hypertension. The notion of arterial hypertension was known by physiologists but a practical way of measuring it dated back from less than a decade [3]. Volhard observed that the third variant in his classification was associated with vascular lesions and attributed the renal sclerosis to a consequence of vascular lesions rather than to hypertension causing renal vessel changes.…”

For a century, nephrosclerosis was ascribed to nonmalignant hypertension and aging. However, it was intuitively perceived that hypertension may follow rather than explain this nephrovasculopathy. Hypertensive nephrosclerosis was long considered a major cause of end-stage renal failure (ESRD). This is especially true in blacks of African descent but not in other ethnic populations. The term ‘nephrosclerosis' is still an easy way out to classify a patient with renal insufficiency. This leads to neglect the possibility of an overlooked nephropathy complicated by hypertension and to believe that drastic blood pressure control may retard the progression to ESRD. Several clinical and experimental lines of evidence lead to the understanding that nephrosclerosis, especially in blacks, is a genetic renovasculopathy that precedes the rise in blood pressure. The identification of coding region variants in APOL1 encoding apolipoprotein L-1 in black but also white and Asians opens new lines of research on the genetics of nephroangiosclerosis and of FSGS. Metabolic derangements, such as obesity, oxidative stress, dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis may be considered confounding factors with regard to nephrosclerosis. Histomorphometric studies led to sorting out the lesions due to aging from those stemming from hypertension. They shed new light not only on glomerular lesions that comprise ischemic obsolescence but also on glomerulomegaly and focal-segmental sclerosis, the latter due to a loss of renal autoregulation. It appears that the control of hypertension is not credited with the expected benefit for slowing the decline of renal function. ‘Nephrosclerosis' can be considered an umbrella term of poor significance that should be replaced by its pathologic description, that is, arterionephrosclerosis and incite to elucidate the various genetic and metabolic factors that lead to a lesion in quest of a specific disease.

“…Nicolai Korotkoff first discovered the sounds in the compressed brachial artery and used them to identify the times when the pressure in the cuff coincided with systolic and diastolic arterial pressures. The method utilizing Korotkoff sounds to determine the systolic and diastolic arterial pressure is known as auscultatory method, which is most frequently used in the clinical medicine since 1905 [1,3].…”

Abstract. BACKGROUND: Korotkoff sounds have been used to measure systolic and diastolic arterial blood pressures noninvasively for over 100 years. However, most of the research concerning the Korotkoff sound were focused on the origin and frequency component analyzing the Korotkoff sound signal. OBJECTIVE: To show that the occurrence time of the Korotkoff sounds for each cardiac cycle demonstrates a characteristic value during the cuff deflating process of blood pressure measurement. METHODS: The Korotkoff sound delay time (KDT) decreases as the cuff pressure P deflates and KDT is a function of arterial transmural pressure. In the present research, an experiment system was established to explore the relationship between the KDT and the cuff pressure in different subjects. RESULTS: A pilot experiment was conducted to obtain different subjects' KDTs and investigate the relationship between KDT and cuff pressure. CONCLUSION: The relationship between KDT and invasive blood pressure was also studied and its potential application in detection of cardiovascular status was discussed.
