However, blood pressure assessment revealed a widened pulse pressure in the mutant mice (43 ± 5 vs. 31 ± 9 mm Hg, P = 0.005), suggesting increased vascular stiffness.
Good leadership in higher education has never mattered more than now, with increases in tuition fees, concerns over international recruitment, widening access pressures, not to forget the challenges of competing in a globalised research and teaching market.
There was a widened pulse pressure and reduction in diastolic blood pressure consistent with reduced systemic vascular resistance and reduced vascular tone.
Cumulative lead exposure is associated with a widened pulse pressure (PP; the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure), a marker of arterial stiffness and a predictor of cardiovascular disease.
In the details, there was little to be particularly encouraged about as job shedding quickened while the divergence in input and output prices widened, implying pressure on company profit margins.
