2. Compression stockings - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_stockings

   Self-prescription is reasonably safe assuming that the compression gradient is 15–20 mmHg, the ABPI (for both legs) is >1.0 and that the stockings fit correctly. "Firm" gradient stockings (20–30 mmHg and 30–40 mmHg) should generally be worn only on medical advice.

3. Compression garment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_garment

   In medical contexts, compression garments provide support for people who have to stand for long periods or have poor circulation. These come in varying degrees of compression, and higher degree compression sleeves, such as sleeves that provide compression of 20–30 mmHg or higher, typically require a doctor's prescription. [1]

   One small, older study conducted at the University of Groningen found that when couples wore socks during intimacy, about 80% of the couples achieved orgasm compared with 50% without socks.

5. Pulmonary embolism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_embolism

   Massive PE causing hemodynamic instability (shock and/or low blood pressure, defined as a systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg or a pressure drop of 40 mmHg for >15 min if not caused by new-onset arrhythmia, hypovolemia, or sepsis) is an indication for thrombolysis, the enzymatic destruction of the clot with medication. In this situation, it is the ...

6. Compression set - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_set

   Compression set B is (like Compression set A) defined as the percentage of specimen deflection after it has been left in normal (uncompressed) conditions for 30 minutes. C B, the compression set B is given by C B = [(t o - t i) / (t o - t n)] * 100 where t o is the original specimen thickness, t i is the specimen thickness after testing and t n ...

7. Blood pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure

   Pulse pressure is considered low if it is less than 25% of the systolic. (For example, if the systolic pressure is 120 mmHg, then the pulse pressure would be considered low if it is less than 30 mmHg, since 30 is 25% of 120.) [91] A very low pulse pressure can be a symptom of disorders such as congestive heart failure. [52]
