Paradoxically, this claim was made by way of a ‘beauty’ pageant.” ‘Out of the Closet’ Pregnancy may have “come out of the closet,” but has pregnant sexuality or maternal sexuality? In Hollywood and popular media, do we see representations of women’s subjective experience of their pregnant embodiment? Or, rather, do we see representations of the pregnant body as sex objects for others, or objects of what film theorist Laura Mulvey called “the male gaze”? “Momshells,” “hot mamas,” “MILFs” (“mothers I’d like to fuck”), “yummy mummys,” “knocked-up knock-outs,” and in some way even “baby mamas,” appeal to both men and women.

24-hour Device Offers Better Blood Pressure Test, Twin Cities Doctors Say

Realistic Expectations For New ‘Breakthrough’ Blood Pressure Technology

David Ingham, who practices at Allinas Center for Outpatient Care in Edina. And those fluctuations are important. Over the past year, Ingham and his colleagues have been testing a new device on more than 1,000 Twin Cities patients to see whether 24-hour blood pressure monitoring can provide a more accurate diagnosis. One of those patients is 37-year-old Jeff Zoss of Minnetonka , who agreed to wear the wireless monitor. It was strapped to his left arm and took his blood pressure every 20 minutes, then tracked his scores so they could be uploaded to the doctors. It was an uncomfortable day.

Some doctors recommending 24-hour blood pressure monitoring

David Ingham with Allina Health believe the 24-hour readings are the best way to get an accurate measure of someone’s blood pressure. The battery operated blood pressure cuff takes readings every 20 minutes during the day and every 30 minutes at night. Patients then bring the cuff in to Cummings, Ingham and other doctors at Abbott Northwestern General Medicine Associates in Edina where their results are downloaded onto a computer. The doctors have evaluated more than 1,000 patients so far as they study 24-hour blood pressure monitoring.

The lesson to be learned here is that all of these studies should either be placebo controlled or at least mandate ABPM at baseline and every follow up.
