Hepatitis B immunisation : a survey of surgeons and theatre nurses [PDF]

, 2000
Acute viral hepatitis remains a serious condition. Its long-term sequelae include cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Health workers constitute a high-risk group for contracting hepatitis B.

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 ...

Whole‐body hot water immersion effect on cerebral haemodynamics and subsequent cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract To test the hypothesis that hot water immersion (HWI) improves cerebrovascular function via shear‐mediated mechanisms, this study determined cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide (CVRCO2${\mathrm{CV}}{{\mathrm{R}}_{{\mathrm{C}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$) before and after 60 min of 39°C HWI and a 21°C air control (CON) in 15 healthy ...

The hypoxic ventilatory response and arousal burden predict the magnitude of ventilatory long‐term facilitation in humans with obstructive sleep apnoea

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The magnitude of progressive augmentation (PA) and ventilatory long‐term facilitation (vLTF) are two forms of respiratory plasticity that are enhanced in some humans with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). This response might be linked to repeated nocturnal exposure to intermittent hypoxia or other traits connected to OSA.

Growth Treatment Response Vector (GTRV) Analysis in Class III Patients

Turkish Journal of Orthodontics, 2012
Aim:The objective of the present study was to assess the posttreatment maxillary and mandibular growth in a group of Class III patients treated with facemask therapy, using the Growth Treatment Response Vector (GTRV) analysis, in an effort to predict ...

Maximal strength and voluntary activation of adductor pollicis after a single session of acute intermittent hypercapnia or acute intermittent hypoxia

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) can increase maximal strength of limb muscles in people with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), but it is mostly untested in people without SCI. Acute intermittent hypercapnia (AIC) may engage similar respiratory circuits to AIH, but the effects of AIC on human limb motor output are unknown.

Acute intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia augments left ventricular contractility

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Twenty‐four healthy adults were studied to determine the effects of an acute session of 40 min of intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia on cardiac performance. Cardiac function was assessed via echocardiography at rest and during graded stages of lower‐body negative pressure before and after the intervention to quantify load ...

Arterial–venous differences of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor isoforms across the brain and muscle after exercise at different intensities

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Exercise‐induced increases in forearm venous plasma and serum brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are often assumed to be indicative of release from the brain. Sixteen healthy and physically fit adults (20–40 years old) were recruited to investigate whether exercise‐induced changes in forearm venous mature BDNF (mBDNF) and ...
