Effect of lixisenatide on arterial stiffness in people with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease: Results of a randomised controlled trial

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 2953-2961, April 2026.
Abstract Objective People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes are at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Aortic pulse wave velocity (Ao‐PWV) is an independent predictor of CVD. Cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) with glucagon like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1 RA) class demonstrate notable differences, with lixisenatide having ...

How to measure intraocular pressure: Schiötz tonometry

Community Eye Health Journal, 2008
If glaucoma is diagnosed early, treatment can then be given that may preserve vision. Although raised intraocular pressure (IOP) is not the only sign of glaucoma, the IOP should be checked routinely on all adults attending eye care facilities ...

Effects of a high‐sugar mixed meal on cerebrovascular haemodynamics in young, healthy versus middle‐aged adults with cardiometabolic risk factors

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 4, Page 2370-2383, 1 April 2026.
Abstract Consumption of a high‐sugar mixed meal (HSMM) increases both glucose and insulin and elicits mixed vascular effects, with reduced microvascular blood flow but increased conduit artery diameter and blood flow. In this study, we sought to examine: (1) whether an HSMM elicits vascular segment‐specific effects within cerebrovasculature; and (2 ...

On‐feet isometric bracing maintains cerebral arterial blood velocity during lower body negative pressure via preload augmentation

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 4, Page 1756-1765, 1 April 2026.
Abstract Orthostatic stress reduces venous return and stroke volume (SV), risking cerebral hypoperfusion despite autonomic compensation. Although lower‐limb counterpressure manoeuvres improve cerebral perfusion in upright posture, their effects on cerebral blood velocity (CBV) during lower‐body negative pressure (LBNP) and the associated mechanisms are

Rapid and Accurate Pressure Sensing Device for Direct Measurement of Intraocular Pressure. [PDF]

, 2020
PurposeIntraocular pressure (IOP) is the primary modifiable risk factor for glaucoma. Current devices measure IOP via the dynamic response of the healthy cornea and do not provide the accurate IOP measurements for patients with altered corneal ...

Identification of the in vivo elastic properties of common carotid arteries from MRI: a study on subjects with and without atherosclerosis. [PDF]

, 2013
International audienceThe stiffness of the arterial wall, which is modified by many cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, is known to be an indicator of vulnerability.

Exploring the relationship between reproductive aging, arterial stiffness, and cardiorespiratory fitness in women after menopause

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, April 2026.
Arterial stiffness and cardiorespiratory fitness across postmenopause. Abstract This cross‐sectional study examined associations between postmenopausal stage (early and late), arterial stiffness, and cardiorespiratory fitness. A total of 125 postmenopausal women (58.07 ± 6.61 years) underwent carotid‐femoral pulse wave velocity assessment (SphygmoCor ...
