Resistance exercise breaks during prolonged sitting augment the blood flow response to a subsequent oral glucose load in sedentary adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sitting‐induced impairments in postprandial blood flow are an important link between sedentary behaviour and cardiometabolic disease risk. The objective of this work was to examine the effects of resistance exercise breaks (REB) performed every 30 min during an otherwise sedentary 3‐h period on the vasodilatory response to a subsequent oral ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Quantification of the cerebral pressure–flow relationship directional sensitivity: Reliability of shorter repeated squat–stand durations

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The magnitude of changes in middle cerebral artery mean blood velocity (MCAv) is attenuated when mean arterial pressure (MAP) increases compared with when MAP decreases. This directional sensitivity has been characterized using a time‐corrected ratio calculated on MCAv and MAP changes induced by repeated squat–stands (RSS) at 0.05 and 0.10 Hz ...

No difference in mean middle cerebral artery blood velocity responses between lower‐ and upper‐body unilateral resistance exercise in untrained individuals

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Dynamic resistance exercise (RE) produces sinusoidal fluctuations in blood pressure that are mirrored by middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv). However, whether lower‐ or upper‐body RE elicits a differential cerebrovascular response has not yet been examined.

Ageing attenuates regional vasoconstriction during acute lowering of upper and lower limbs

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The venoarteriolar and myogenic response (VMR) is a non‐adrenergic, non‐baroreflex‐mediated mechanism that increases local vascular resistance and contributes to blood pressure (BP) regulation during orthostasis. Despite the importance of the VMR in human cardiovascular control, no information exists elucidating possible differences in the VMR

Quantifying microvascular responses to local heating using optical coherence tomography: Comparison between skin sites and sex differences

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Summary of the study design, metholodgy, results and conclusions. Abstract Due to a lack of technical capacity to directly visualise and quantify microvessels in the skin, little is known regarding regional and/or sex differences. We compared diameter, velocity, flow and density at four regional sites using a novel optical coherence tomography (OCT ...

The effects of a (poly)phenol‐rich food intervention on markers of exercise‐induced inflammation and oxidative stress: A randomised controlled trial

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined whether consuming a (poly)phenol‐rich food before strenuous muscle‐damaging exercise can modify post‐exercise markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. Using a double‐blinded, randomised, placebo‐controlled, between‐subjects design, 26 recreationally active males (n = 15) and females (n = 11) consumed higher‐(poly ...

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 ...

Evidence on the Reasons and Factors Influencing Contraceptive Nonutilization Among Women of Childbearing Age in Suburban Setting in Sub‐Saharan Africa: A Scoping Review

Nursing &Health Sciences, Volume 28, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Family planning and the use of modern contraceptives are pivotal in promoting women's health, enhancing gender equality, and supporting socioeconomic development. However, in many regions, including sub‐Saharan Africa, a substantial gap remains in the utilization of modern contraceptives.

Using artificial intelligence as a technological tool in gynecologic and obstetric health: A narrative literature review

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 172, Issue 2, Page 850-865, February 2026.
Abstract Maternal mortality remains a critical global public health issue, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income settings where failures in surveillance, early diagnosis, and clinical decision making compromise obstetric care. In this context, the present study aimed to critically review the scientific literature on the use of artificial intelligence (
