Latest Strategies to Tackle Hypertension

Abstract

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the world's most widespread non-communicable disease, attaining the status of a global epidemic. It results due to excess pressure of blood in the arterial wall. The cause of such a condition may be hereditary or acquired (such as an unhealthy lifestyle). This condition is the primary cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Hypertension, the most severe menace, is like a calm killer if untreated and affects our vital parts like our renal organs, heart, and brain. It is a fatal disease causing the untimely death of individuals. Around 26% of the world's population suffers from this disease, and approximately a 3% increase is expected by 2025. In developing countries, two-thirds of all cases are due to exposure to the increased risk factor of the disease, while around 46% of individuals are oblivious of the situation. So tackling hypertension to lessen the burden of society becomes the need of the hour. This review attempts to discover all the latest approaches available today for hypertension management. Technologies like smartphones and telemonitoring, artificial intelligence approach, information and communication technology, e-health strategy and mHealth app, wearable blood pressure monitors are coming up nowadays for tackling hypertension. Such technologies are a boon to society. Mass awareness among the people about these recently available technologies through media (T.V., radio) or local announcements, particularly in developing countries, could change their perspective about the disease. Such awareness would prevent them from overlooking the severe hypertension consequences controlling the further increase globally. Keywords: hypertension, calm killer, tackling, latest, technologies.

Preparation OF Active Carbon from Date and Olive Stones And Its Contribution on Virus Removal from Water

“…Distilled water was used for washing the carbonized sample with an aim to remove ZnCl2 solution which was used to chemically activate the carbon. Since the pH of distilled water was in the range of 5 to 6, hence the pH indicates the washing out of ZnCl2 solution from the sample [24].…”

“…Bulk density determines the mass of carbon which can be contained in a filter by a given solids capacity. It also determines the amount of treated liquid that can be retained by the filter cake [24].…”
