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 ...

Abstract Post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with elevated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, yet the underlying physiological characterization in young adults remain unclear. This study examines whether autonomic and/or vascular dysfunction predominates as an early precursor to CVD development in young adults with PTSD and explores the

Acute intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia augments left ventricular contractility
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 ...

Acute low energy availability (LEA) may suppress glucose levels, particularly nocturnally; however, this has not been investigated in athletes with clinically diagnosed REDs.
