While drawing this chart, I was unsure how to shade the bottom-right region (systolic > 140, diastolic < 60 mmHg). Systolic hypertension states
“ | If the systolic blood pressure is elevated (>140) with a normal (<90) diastolic blood pressure (DBP), it is called isolated systolic hypertension | ” |
Hypotension states
“ | ... diastolic of less than 60 mmHg is generally considered to be hypotension. | ” |
How should the transition between the regions look like?
Thanks,

Not quite sure the best way to ask the question, but if an asteroid hit/volcanic eruption was to occur in the Galapagos Islands and destroyed everything within 100 km of the hit/eruption, it would completely wipe out a number of species in the wild. I would guess this would be equally true on other isolated islands. My question is the Reverse. Is there any place outside Antarctica where destroying everything within 1000 km of a given point would wipe out *no* species in the wild? My *guesses* would be Siberia (especially on the edge of the Arctic Ocean), the Sahara and Central North America (Centered around the Black Hills of South Dakota?)
Would the same locations be true 10,000 years ago, or (for example) would a hit in Northern Siberia wipe out a species of Mammoth (or one of the large cats that preyed on it). Naraht ( talk) 14:55, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
Maimonides et al, say in their bible interpretation that the story with Jacob in Genesis 32, 25-31 in which Jacob was limping because of his hip due to the touch of the angle, was in his dream as a part of the prophecy. Nachmanades, on the other hand, rejects this opinion because the bible states that Jacob was limping, so it must happen in reality. Maimonides's son, Abraham Maimonides (and others) explains that despite that all this story was in his dream, one can wake up in pain due to fighting or so. As proof, he mentions the wet dream, that one can see a sexual attractiveness that can cause ejaculation. Now my question is: Is Abraham Maimonides opinion supported scientifically or rejected?
