  2. Rhyolite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyolite

    Rhyolite was mined there starting 11,500 years ago. [32] Tons of rhyolite were traded across the Delmarva Peninsula, [32] because the rhyolite kept a sharp point when knapped and was used to make spear points and arrowheads. [33] Obsidian is usually of rhyolitic composition, and it has been used for tools since prehistoric times. [34]

  3. Trachyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachyte

    Trachyte (/ ˈ t r eɪ k aɪ t, ˈ t r æ k-/) is an extrusive igneous rock composed mostly of alkali feldspar. It is usually light-colored and aphanitic (fine-grained), with minor amounts of mafic minerals, [ 1 ] and is formed by the rapid cooling of lava (or shallow intrusions) enriched with silica and alkali metals .

    For most people, recommendations are to reduce blood pressure to less than or equal to somewhere between 140/90 mmHg and 160/100 mmHg. [2] In general, for people with elevated blood pressure, attempting to achieve lower levels of blood pressure than the recommended 140/90 mmHg will create more harm than benefits, [3] in particular for older people. [4]

    As of 2018, the best available evidence favors low-dose thiazide diuretics as the first-line treatment of choice for high blood pressure when drugs are necessary. [5] Although clinical evidence shows calcium channel blockers and thiazide-type diuretics are preferred first-line treatments for most people (from both efficacy and cost points of ...

    As the pressure in the cuff is the same as the pressure produced by the heart, some blood will be able to pass through the upper arm when the pressure in the artery rises during systole. This blood flows in spurts as the pressure in the artery rises above the pressure in the cuff and then drops back down beyond the cuffed region, resulting in ...

    Trachybasalt – Volcanic rock – A volcanic rock with a composition between basalt and trachyte Hawaiite – Volcanic rock – a sodic type of trachybasalt, typically formed by ocean island volcanism; Trachyte – Extrusive igneous rock – A silica-undersaturated volcanic rock; essentially a feldspathoid-bearing rhyolite

  8. Sanidine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanidine

    Sanidine is found most typically in felsic volcanic rocks such as obsidian, rhyolite and trachyte. Sanidine crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system. Orthoclase is a monoclinic polymorph stable at lower temperatures. At yet lower temperatures, microcline, a triclinic polymorph of potassium feldspar, is stable.

  9. Angiotensin II receptor blocker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiotensin_II_receptor...

    The angiotensin II receptor blockers have differing potencies in relation to blood pressure control, with statistically differing effects at the maximal doses. [12] When used in clinical practice, the particular agent used may vary based on the degree of response required. [citation needed] Some of these drugs have a uricosuric effect. [13] [14]
