Blood Pressure
There are two types of blood pressure: Systolic blood pressure refers to the pressure
inside your arteries when your heart is pumping: diastolic pressure is the pressure
inside your arteries when your heart is resting between beats. When your arteries are
healthy and dilated, blood flows easily and your heart doesn't have to work too hard.
But when your arteries are too narrow or stiff, blood pressure rises, the heart gets
overworked, and arteries can become damaged.
Blood pressure is measured with an instrument called a sphygmomanometer.
First, a cuff is placed around your arm and inflated with a pump until the circulation is
cut off. A small valve slowiy deflates the cuff, and the doctor measuring blood
pressure uses a stethoscope, placed over your arm, to listen for the sound of blood
pulsing through the arteries. That first sound of rushing blood refers to the systolic
blood pressure: once the sound fades, the second number indicates the diastolic
pressure, the blood pressure of your heart at rest.
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and recorded
with the systolic number first, followed by the diastolic number. For example, a
normal blood pressure would be recorded as something under 120/80 mm Hg.
Blood pressure readings can be affected by factors like:
Smoking
Coffee or other caffeinated drinks
A full bladder
Recent physical activity.
Blood pressure is also affected by your emotional state and the time of day.
Since so many factors can affect blood pressure readings, you should have your blood
pressure taken several times to get an accurate measurement.
Look at the following blood pressure chart! Discuss the chart with your partner.

Dengue Fever Symptoms
Dengue fever Is endemic in tropical and subtropical areas. Dengue fever is
estimated by the World Health Organization (WHO) to cause about 50-100
million infections per year worldwide. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) considers dengue fever to cause the majority of acute
febrile illnessea in travelers returning to the U.S. The first clinical report of
dengue fever was in 1789 by B. Rush, although the Chinese may have
escribed the disease associated with “flying insects” as early as 420 AD.
Africans described “ka dinga pepo” as cramp-like seizure caused by an evil
spirit. The Spanish may have changed “dinga" to dengue since it means
fastidious or careful in Spanish, which describes the gait of people trying to
reduce the pain of walking.
Unfortunately, the disease incidence seems to be increasing.
Researchers suggest the surge in dengue fever may be due to several factors:
Increased urban crowding with more sites for mosguitoes to develop
International commerce that contains infected mosguitoes, thus
introducing the disease to areas previously free of the disease
Local and world environmental changes that allow
mosguitoes to survive the winter months
International travelers who carry the disease to areas where mosguitoes
have not been previously infected
Dengue has spread widely throughout the world, the WHO distribution
map shows that dengue fever mainIy occurs in tropical and subtropical areas.
In the U.S., dengue fever has been detected in California, Florida, Texas, and
Hawaii. Other areas where it has been detected or there has been an outbreak
of the disease include the Philippines, Taiwan, Samoa, Brazil, Puerto Rico,
Costa Rica, Thailand, and New Delhi. However, as climates warm, experts
suggest dengue will become more preva lent.
In 2015, an outbreak of dengue fever occurred in New Delhi, the worst
in five years. Over 10,000 people tested positive for dengue fever, there have
been at least 32 deaths attributed to this outbreak. State-run hospitals were so
overcrowded that patients were sharing beds. An independent group (Brandeis
Univercity) suggests the actual numbers of people in India with dengue are
vastly fe underreported.

HOSPITALIZING Reading a Text
The epiglotts is a flexible flap at the superior end of the larynx in the throat. It acts as
a switch between the larynx and the esophagus to permit air to enter the airway to the tungs
and food to pass into the gastrointestinal tract. The epiglottis also protects the body from
choking on food that would normally obstruct the airway. The epiglottis is a thin, leaf-shaped
structure at the superior border of the larynx, or voice box. In its relaxed position, the
epiglottis projects into the pharynx, or throat, and rests just posterior to the tongue.
The epiglottis is made of elastic cartilage covered with mucous membrane. Its anterior
surface consists of nonkeratinized stratified sguamous epithelium that is consistent with the
tissues of the mouth and pharynx. On the posterior surface, it is covered with pseudostratified
columnar epithelium that is consistent with the tissues lining the larynx. Under the epithelial
layer is a thin layer of areolar connective tissue that provides a loose attachment for the
epithelium and supplies it with blood vessels and nerve fibers.
Throughout each day, the epiglottis spends the vast majority of its time relaxed at the
superior edge of the larynx just posterior to the tongue. In this position, air is able to enter the
pharynx from the nose or mouth and pass freely into the larynx and onward to the lungs. It is
only when we swallow food or drink that the epiglottis moves and performs its vital function.
The process of swallowing is a complex process involving many structures in the head and
neck. During this process, the pharynx, hyoid larynx are pulled superiorly to allow the
pharynx to widen and receive the material being swallowed.

Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by out-ofcontrol cell growth. There are over
100 different types of cancer, and each is classified by the type of cell that is initially
affected. Cancer harms the body when damaged celis divide uncontrollably to form lumps
or masses of tissue called tumors (except in the case of leukemia where cancer prohibits
normal blood function by abnormal cell division in the blood stream). Tumors can grow
and interfere with the digestive, nervous, and circulatory systems, and they can release
hormones that alter body function. Tumors that stay in one spot and demonstrate limited
growth are generally considered to be benign.
Cancer symptoms are guite varied and depend on where the cancer is located, where it
has spread, and how big the tumor is. Some cancers can be felt or seen through the skin -a
lump on the breast or testicle can be an indicator of cancer in those locations. Skin cancer
(melanoma) is often noted by a change in a wart or mole on the skin. Some oral cancers
present white patches inside the mouth or white spots on the tongue. Other cancers have
symptoms that are less physically apparent. Some brain tumors tend to present symptoms
early in the disease as they affect important cognitive functions. PanCreas cancers are
usually too small to cause symptoms until they cause pain by pushing against nearby
nerves Or interfere with liver function to cause a yellowing of the skin and eyes called
jaundice. Symptoms also can be created asa tumor grows and pushes against organs and
blood vessels.
Early detection of cancer can greatly improve the odds of successful treatment and
survival. Physicians use information from symptoms and several other procedures to
diagnose cancer. Imaging technigues such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, PET scans, and
ultrasound scans are used regularly in order to detect where a tumor is located and what
organs may be affected by it. Doctors may also conduct an endoscopy, which is a
procedure that uses a thin tube with a camera and light at one end, to look for abnormalities
inside the body.
4. According to the text, how to increase the possibility of successful treatment of cancer?
6. In which paragraph does the author mention the symptoms of skin cancer?
