Appendix scars, super nipples, varicose veins...

We drove all night through the quiet hills.

The figure for the prevalence of arterial hypertension was 36.3 per cent.

Now that's a left ventricle pushing blood up through the aortic valve you can see two of the leaflets of the aortic valve working there up into the ascending aorta.

And then, through the impulses to the timer system... record the variations in blood pressure and pulse on this stylus.

Tourniquets are not recommended unless in the direst emergency

The Plan for the Reduction of Arterial Hypertension in Persons Over Age Sixty covers more than 117,000 adults of that age suffering from arterial hypertension, as a result of which the figures for arterial tension were brought under control in 44.5 per cent of patients this is likely to help prevent about 20 per cent of the risk of contracting a cerebrovascular disease.

We understood mountains under compression, but we could not understand why we had a mountain under tension.

But even worse some years it's only IV drug users, some years it's only pregnant women.

Injecting drug use practice is not limited to intravenous injecting, but also include intramuscular or subcutaneous injecting.

I had a heart catheterization, where they measure this internal arterial pulmonary pressure, which is supposed to be between 15 and 20.

Junkies find veins in their toes when the ones in their arms and their legs collapse. Developing tar sands and coal shale is the equivalent. Here are just a few of the investments that I personally think make sense.

Activities conducted to combat arterial hypertension include the promotion of healthy lifestyles, the early detection of persons suffering from arterial hypertension, and the training of healthcare staff and the population through participation in Mutual Aid Groups.

Mother lode.

Usually, the bursting pressure is set at a level that can cope with the pressures encountered during normal transport conditions such as hydrostatic pressure from the liquid due to turn over of the tank, slopping of the contents, etc.

Be quiet, be quiet
