“…Hypotension is a decrease in arterial blood pressure, typically below 90 mmHg for systolic and 60 mmHg for diastolic. Severe hypotension can lead to shock and multiple organ failure, and could increase mortality risk [3]. Cuff devices commonly used to measure blood pressure rely on the Korotkoff method and require direct contact with the patient's arm.…”

The measurement of vital signs such as blood pressure plays a key role in human health. Usually, we encounter some problems when we check them in the traditional way; for example, it is impossible to check continuously, and measuring vital signs requires direct contact with the patient, which can be uncomfortable for certain individuals. In this research, we present a vision-based system for estimating blood pressure using pulse transit time (PTT) and the Eulerian video magnification (EVM) technique to amplify tiny color variations caused by blood flow to calculate arterial pulse waves traveling between two arterial sites. Calculating the PTT by processing the video signal for each subject, an oscillometer BP device was used to evaluate the performance between measurements in different conditions, including rest, exercise, and during recovery. Mean systolic BP was 115 mmHg at rest, 137 mmHg during high-intensity exercise, and 114 mmHg during recovery, respectively. The average value of diastolic blood pressure did not change significantly before, during, and after exercise. When we compared the systolic and diastolic blood pressure with ground-truth results, our system showed an accuracy of 91% for systolic blood pressure and 90% for diastolic blood pressure.

Drug‐induced hypotension can be harmful and may lead to hospital admissions. The occurrence of hypotension during drug therapy is preventable through increased awareness. This scoping review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of antihypertensive and nonantihypertensive drugs associated with hypotension in adults. A systematic literature search was conducted using MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Library, focusing on studies from January 2013 to May 2023. Search terms were developed to capture key concepts related to hypotension and adverse drug events in adults while excluding terms related to allergic reactions, phytotherapy and studies involving paediatric, pregnant or animal populations. The eligibility criteria included a wide range of study types evaluating hypotension as an adverse drug event across all healthcare settings. Relevant information was extracted from the included studies, while identified drugs associated with hypotension were categorised into drug classes. The review was reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews checklist. In 97 eligible studies, we identified 26 antihypertensive drugs grouped into nine different antihypertensive classes and 158 other drugs grouped into 22 other drug classes. Common antihypertensive classes were angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors, beta blockers and diuretics. Frequently reported nonantihypertensive classes were neuroleptics, alpha‐1 blockers for benign prostatic hyperplasia, benzodiazepines, opioids and antidepressants. The results highlight the importance of healthcare professionals being aware of nonantihypertensive drugs that can cause hypotension. This review provides a basis for future systematic reviews to explore dose‐dependence, drug–drug interactions and confounding factors.

To investigate the trends of hospital admissions concerning diseases of the eye and adnexa in Australia in the past 2 decades. This is a descriptive ecological study on the population level that examined hospitalization data for the duration between 1998 and 2021 in Australia. Hospitalization data were extracted from the National Hospital Morbidity Database. The chi-squared test was utilized to assess the difference in admission rates between the years 1998 and 2021. Hospital admission rate for diseases of the eye and adnexa increased by 1.20-fold (from 852.32 [95% confidence interval [CI] 848.16–856.47] in 1998 to 1873.72 [95% CI 1868.48–1878.96] in 2021 per 100,000 persons, P < .01). The most common cause of hospitalization for diseases of the eye and adnexa was disorders of the lens (65.7%), followed by disorders of the choroid and retina (15.6%), followed by disorders of the eyelid, lacrimal system, and orbit (7.7%). Hospital admission rate among males increased by 1.25-fold (from 737.67 [95% CI 732.18–743.16] in 1998 to 1657.19 [95% CI 1650.19–1664.20] in 2021 per 100,000 persons). Hospital admission rate among females increased less sharply by 1.03-fold (from 965.37 [95% CI 959.14–971.59] in 1998 to 1964.35 [95% CI 1956.80–1971.90] in 2021 per 100,000 persons). There are clear gender and age roles in the epidemiology of hospital admissions related to eye and adnexa disorders. Lens disorders were the most common cause of hospital admission. The admission rate increase during the past decades could be due to increases in life expectancy, lifestyle changes, and improvements in screening protocols.
