Modulation of cerebral blood flow and cognition by hyperthermia and hypoxia: An electroencephalographic event‐related potentials perspective

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is essential for sustaining neuronal metabolism and cognitive performance; however, the precise relationship between perfusion and cognition remains unclear. Although ageing and disease are associated with progressive declines in CBF and cognitive impairment, the acute effects of altered CBF under environmental ...

Modelling the effect of varying metabolic rate and cardiac output on estimated tissue and blood O2 and CO2 levels in an extreme deep‐diver, the goose‐beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris)

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐resolution movement data from Cuvier's beaked, or goose‐beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris, hereafter Ziphius, n = 8) tag deployments (4.1–19.2 days) were used to estimate blood and tissue O2 and CO2 levels. Acceleration and magnetometry data were used to estimate the locomotion cost (LC) from the relationship between activity and the O2 ...

A 140-year-old specimen from the southern Trans-Fly region of Papua New Guinea proves that the Eastern Brownsnake, Pseudonaja textilis, was not a wartime or post-war introduction (Serpentes, Elapidae, Hydrophiinae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
: The medically important Australian elapid Pseudonaja textilis was first documented for the island of New Guinea in the 1950s, when specimens from the northern coast of the Papuan Peninsula were collected and identified.

How do physiological networks respond to normobaric hypoxia and isometric exercise?

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The dynamics of physiological systems are impacted by both exercise and hypoxia. Network models can be used to map the interactions between various physiological components in environmental physiology and exercise using the concepts of information theory.

Sketches on history of studying radioactivity and formation of uranium geology in the Central Siberia. Sketch one. Beginnings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The history of studying radioactivity and the radioactive elements has already numbered more than one hundred years. In the beginning of XX century interest to uranium was defined, first of all, by cost of its radioactive product - radium, which, at the ...

Lipid profiles and nutritional dynamics of long‐distance hiking: A longitudinal study on the Colorado Trail

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Current literature on the metabolic effects of long‐distance hiking is limited to case studies with discrepant findings, and no prior studies have examined the role of diet in shaping these outcomes. In this study, we investigated changes in lipid profiles and dietary factors among 12 participants who completed the Colorado Trail.

Ventilatory and cerebrovascular responses to exercise in lowlander children acclimatizing to high‐altitude

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend To investigate age‐related differences in ventilatory and cerebrovascular responses to exercise at high‐altitude, adults (n = 10, 23–44 years) and children (n = 8, 7–14 years) completed progressive cycling exercise tests at sea‐level and following 6 days of acclimatization at 3800 m.
