Algorithms for getting Blood Pressure?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking algorithms for measuring systolic and diastolic blood pressure using the oscillometric technique. The participant has encountered methods that involve identifying the maximum amplitude of the oscillometric wave and determining blood pressure values based on specific ratios of that amplitude. However, there are challenges in implementing this technique effectively. The participant is exploring alternative methods beyond the standard approach outlined in a referenced NCBI resource. The focus is on improving the accuracy and reliability of blood pressure measurements through different algorithmic strategies.

Hey all, I'm doing this for a research project... I'm looking for an algorithm that can get the systolic and diastolic blood pressure using the oscillometric technique. I found techniques which find the blood pressured by first finding the max amplitude of the oscillometric wave and then finding systolic and diastolic pressure by finding points on the wave corresponding to certain ratios of that amplitude. I was wondering if there are other techniques because I'm not getting this one to work so well.

Thread 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
