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 ...

Cerebrovascular pulsatility following long duration spaceflight is associated with changes in pulse pressure and carotid artery stiffness

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central artery stiffening increases the haemodynamic pulsations transmitted downstream towards target organs, including the brain. While recent evidence suggests that long duration spaceflight is associated with reduced common carotid artery (CCA) distensibility, cerebrovascular pulsatility has not been extensively characterized in astronauts.

Molecular pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder: Focus on the fibroblast growth factor 23–Klotho axis and bone turnover dynamics

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder (CKD‐MBD) is a major complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD), characterized by disruptions in mineral metabolism, abnormal bone turnover and vascular calcification, which collectively increase the risk of fractures and cardiovascular disease.

Uncovering the impact of the cardiovascular system on cerebrovascular health using MRI

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human cerebrovasculature is finely tuned to enable local changes in blood flow to meet the brain's demands, whilst protecting the brain from systemic changes in blood pressure, both acutely during a heartbeat and chronically over time. This review summarises cerebrovascular structure and function, their role in disease and neurodegeneration ...

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.

Influence of menstrual cycle phase on inflammatory and vascular responses to acute passive heating in healthy young women

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine whether inflammatory and vascular responses to passive heating differ between the early follicular phase (EFP) and the mid‐luteal phase (MLP) of the menstrual cycle. Ten healthy, naturally menstruating females (26 ± 3 years of age; body mass index 21.4 ± 1.9 kg/m2) were assessed during EFP and MLP ...

Contributions of vascular ageing to late‐onset Alzheimer's disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Late‐onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is an age‐related disease that is strongly associated with vascular risk factors and cerebrovascular impairments. As such, changes in the vasculature with advancing age likely contribute to LOAD, but the mechanisms underlying these contributions remain incompletely understood.
