Effect Of Mirthful Laughter On Vascular Function [PDF]

, 2010
In contrast to the well-established scientific evidence linking negative emotional states (e.g., depression, anxiety, or anger) to increased risk for cardiovascular disease, much less is known about the association between positive emotional states (e.g.,

ARTERIAL STIFFNESS AS A RISK FACTOR FOR CEREBRAL VASCULAR LESIONS

Artery Research, 2018
Increased arterial stiffness, a biomarker of vascular aging, is a recognized subclinical organ damage, and may thus serve as predictor of cardiovascular disease.

Soft Ionic and Electronic Triboelectric Nanogenerators: Toward Attachable and Implantable Biomedical Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review provides an overview of triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG)–based biomedical applications by classifying studies into electronic and ionic systems across attachable and implantable platforms. It summarizes key material choices, device structures, and working mechanisms that characterize current TENG‐based research, and outlines six future ...

Evaluation of different metrics as an index for the assessment of arterial stiffness

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2018
Elevated intravascular pressure is a contributing factor to increased arterial stiffness, and is a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Assessment of arterial stiffness is of importance in evaluating cardiovascular risk.

Elastomeric Micro‐Balloons for Remote Control of Cerebral Blood Flow and Real‐Time In vivo Imaging of Rodent Brain Response to Hypoperfusion

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports the fabrication of MRI‐compatible elastomeric micro‐balloons via a multi‐step bubble casting process, where the monolithic elastomeric wall is selectively stiffened for reversible and controlled inflation and elasticity, depending on the target vessels for graded occlusion of cerebral arteries.

Dose of Alcohol From Beer Required for Acute Reduction in Arterial Stiffness

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Acute beer or alcohol ingestion reduces arterial stiffness, but the dose required to reduce arterial stiffness is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the acute effects of ingesting various amounts of beer on arterial stiffness in healthy ...
