The introduction of duplex Doppler ultrasound almost half a century ago signified a
revolutionary advance in the ability to assess limb blood flow in humans. It is now widely …

Objective: The current randomized controlled trial tested the hypothesis that both aerobic
training and dynamic resistance training will improve inflammation, endothelial function and …

The arterial pulse wave is a physiological signal which can reflect the function of the human
cardiovascular system. Owing to the measurement being convenient and safe, radial pulse …

Blood flow changes in response to exercise have been attributed, among other factors, to
the effect of vasodilators factors on the microvasculature, suggesting a close relationship …

Purpose Vascular dysfunction has been demonstrated in patients with Alzheimer's disease
(AD). Exercise is known to positively affect vascular function. Thus, the aim of our study was …

Episodic increases in cerebral blood flow (CBF) are thought to contribute to improved
cerebrovascular function and health. Head-out water immersion (HOWI) may be a useful …

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is characterized by endothelial-and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
dysfunction and increased endothelial lipase (EL) serum levels. We examined the …

Introduction: During firefighting, physical and cognitive demands increase. However, the
stress inherent to these events can decrease cognitive performance and increase the risk of …

Flow-mediated dilation (FMD), mainly mediated by nitric oxide (NO), aims to assess the
shear-induced endothelial function, which is widely quantified by the relative change in …

Blood volume shifts during postural adjustment lead to irregular distension of the internal
jugular vein (IJV). In microgravity, distension may contribute to flow stasis and …
