Regarding this work Paul says:

	<blockquote>Some of the achievements of our hypertension group were to emphasise the importance of the sympathetic nervous system in the development of essential hypertension (the most common type of high blood pressure), the reasons for the beneficial effect of regular exercise in hypertension and the role of structural changes in enhancing the neural signals.</blockquote>		<blockquote>Some of the achievements of our hypertension group were to emphasise the importance of the sympathetic nervous system in the development of essential hypertension (the most common type of high blood pressure), the reasons for the beneficial effect of regular exercise in hypertension and the role of structural changes in enhancing the neural signals.</blockquote>

	<blockquote>[W]hen he returned from overseas, Peter Bishop had become the head of the Physiology Department and was very keen to establish research in a number of areas and provided a lot of support. At that time we had large teaching classes, which was not so good. The best thing from the viewpoint of teaching at the time was the BSc (Med) degree which had been introduced at the instigation of Professor Hugh Ward (Professor of Bacteriology) after World War II, which gave medical students the option of doing a year’s research and becoming initiated in science.</blockquote>		<blockquote>[W]hen he returned from overseas, Peter Bishop had become the head of the Physiology Department and was very keen to establish research in a number of areas and provided a lot of support.

	Being ‘integrative’ is more difficult than most of us recognise, but it is also very rewarding. I have managed to come up with a new hypothesis on the role of stress and other life style changes in genetically susceptible individuals in the initiation of this disorder. The autonomic nervous system is best equipped in dealing with existing challenges, but in this disorder the brain places it into a near permanent readiness to meet future challenges. This has very adverse effects on health. However, the insights gained by analysing the primary and secondary pathophysiological mechanisms open up prospects fro prevention and better management.
