As a part of space-research program, a physiologist was asked to investigate the effect of flight–induced stress on blood pressure. Accordingly, the blood pressures of the cosmonauts were to be measured twice: once before the take–off, and once after the spacecraft entered the designated orbit around the earth. For a proper comparison, the pre–flight blood pressure should be recorded in:

 

1. The lying down position.
2. The sitting position.
3. The standing position.
4. Any position, as long as the post–flight recording is made in the same position.

New Delhi: May 20th 2016: ‘Heat index’ measures the combined effects of temperature and humidity on the ability of the body to lose heat. It determines how hot it really feels. Periods of high heat index adversely affect human health.
Elaborating on this, Padma Shri Awardee Dr KK Aggarwal – Honorary Secretary General IMA & President Heart Care Foundation of India explained that the human body normally cools itself by sweating through evaporation, which carries heat away from the body. But, high relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate and so heat is removed from the body at a lower rate causing it to retain more heat than it would in dry air. As a result, the body temperature increases leading to heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion, heat cramps and heat stroke.
