Microvascular and metabolic physiology are tightly linked. This Perspective reviews
evidence that 1) the relationship between hyperglycemia and microvascular dysfunction …

The results of many medical measurements are directly or indirectly influenced by the
autonomic nervous system (ANS). For example pupil size or heart rate may demonstrate …

The human brain is the organ with the highest metabolic activity but it lacks a traditional
lymphatic system responsible for clearing waste products. We have demonstrated that the …

A substantial body of evidence supports the hypothesis of a vascular component in the
pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Cerebral hypoperfusion and blood-brain barrier …

Pressure ulcers are a significant healthcare problem affecting the quality of life in wheelchair
bounded or bed-ridden people and are a major cost to the healthcare system. Various …

Electromagnetic field (EMF) modalities offer an alternative to the increasing use of
pharmaceutical products for therapeutic use. This book presents state-of-the-art EMF use in …

Brain arterioles are active, multicellular complexes whose diameters oscillate at∼ 0.1 Hz.
We assess the physiological impact and spatiotemporal dynamics of vaso-oscillations in the …

Spontaneous slow oscillations occur in cerebral hemodynamics and blood pressure (BP),
and may reflect neurogenic, metabolic or myogenic control of the cerebral vasculature …

Vasomotion is defined as a spontaneous local oscillation in vascular tone whose function is
unclear but may have a beneficial effect on tissue oxygenation. Optical reflectance …

Hemodynamic low-frequency oscillations (LFOs), in the range 0.01-0.1 Hz, are intriguing, yet
elusive phenomena, which occur spontaneously in the vascular system. More than 150 …
