Hills’s sign refers to the increased systolic blood pressure recorded in the lower limb in cases of aortic insufficiency. Normally, the lower limb systolic blood pressure is 10-20mm higher than the upper limb pressure. This is appreciated only when using the indirect method of blood pressure measurement (using sphygmomanometer). Direct blood pressure measurement using intra arterial probes do not show the pressure difference.

Demographic gap

Demographic cycle

Demographic gap is the difference between birth rate and death rate that develops when a country undergoes demographic transition
In a demographic cycle, as the country develops and the living conditions improve, there is first a decrease in the death rate in the population
But the birth rate continues to remain at a high level
This results in a demographic gap and a resultant increase in the total size of population
The demographic gap is maintained till the birth rate and death rates become equal and the population size becomes stable
