| Abstract | The authors describe a simple and robust method for the measurement of pulse propagation velocity (PWV). Two probes each containing an infra-red emitting diode and a phototransistor are placed on the skin. The energy returning to each probe depends on the amount of blood the beam has passed through, and this varies as the vessel pulsates. The output from each probe is displayed in real time on a portable PC. PWV is estimated from the delay between the start of the systolic upswing in the signals from the two sites. Measurements on 6 volunteers showed that PVW values were reproducible throughout the day. In 21 subjects undergoing cardiac catheterisation, the authors found that PWV values obtained by the optical method did not differ significantly from those obtained from intra-arterial pressure measurements. A study on 213 subjects aged 45 to 55 years, in whom weight and body dimensions had been recorded at, birth, has revealed a correlation between PWV in the aorta and leg, and several indices of intrauterine growth. The authors conclude that their technique is a useful addition to the methods available for determining blood vessel elasticity. Its simplicity and ease of use make it suitable for large scale measurements in the 'field'. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
