50% body weight loading reduces stature increases and lumbar disc expansion from 4 h hyper‐buoyancy floatation versus 15 min sitting upright

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microgravity is associated with stature increases, back pain and post‐flight intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation. This study aims to determine whether 30 s seated 50% body weight (BW) axial loading is comparable to 15 min sitting upright in 1 g upon changes in stature, anterior lumbar IVD height (via ultrasound), passive vertebral stiffness ...

Impaired Windkessel function and proximal aortic stiffness: Linking vascular ageing to cognitive decline

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central arterial stiffening, particularly of the proximal aorta, is increasingly recognised as a pivotal contributor to cardiovascular disease, dementia, and mild cognitive impairment. Loss of Windkessel function amplifies pulsatile pressure, reduces diastolic perfusion and accelerates microvascular damage in the brain.

EuroSCORE II: Current limitations and physiological gaps in risk stratification

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Risk stratification remains critical in cardiac surgery, enabling clinicians to predict adverse outcomes and guide perioperative management. The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) II, introduced in 2011, incorporates 18 key variables to provide an evidence‐based approach to risk assessment.

Cardioprotection via vagus nerve stimulation preconditioning: Reducing ischaemia–reperfusion injury and arrhythmic risk

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Acute myocardial infarction is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, with ischaemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury exacerbating myocardial damage. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has been reported to exert cardioprotective effects, but its efficacy in preconditioning against I/R injury requires further investigation.

Ouabain‐induced hypertension in rats: Mechanisms, variability and translational implications

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ouabain‐induced hypertension is a multifactorial and condition‐dependent phenomenon involving coordinated actions across vascular, renal and central nervous system pathways. At the vascular level, ouabain inhibits Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase, particularly the α2‐isoform, leading to elevated intracellular Ca2⁺, enhanced vasoconstriction and structural ...
