Stroke neurovascular responses to exercise: A novel rehabilitation paradigm
Abstract Stroke is a leading cause of long‐term disability, impacting the cerebrovascular, peripheral vascular and neuromotor systems. Characterising vascular responses to exercise post‐stroke offers valuable insights into the impairments that might influence outcomes during neurorehabilitation.

Abstract Exercise in the heat and elevated tissue temperature are associated with neuronal stress and changes in blood–brain barrier (BBB) function. More severe thermal insult may manifest as exertional heat illness (EHI) and complication by central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction may persist post‐EHI.

Abstract The physiological adaptations of long‐term high‐altitude residents without high‐altitude genetic ancestry remain poorly characterized. This study investigated whether permanent residence at low altitude (1200 m) influences performance at higher altitude (2500 m). We compared exercise responses at 2500 m in endurance‐trained athletes living for

The conducting airways before and after gender‐affirming hormone therapy in transgender individuals
Abstract On average, females have smaller airways than males. The largest discrepancy in airway size occurs during puberty, when endogenous sex hormone concentrations diverge between males and females. Transgender individuals often use gender‐affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) to align physical characteristics with gender identity.

Abstract The vascular sympathetic baroreflex is critical for stabilising blood pressure. A notable feature of this reflex is hysteresis, a directional asymmetry in responsiveness during rising versus falling pressure that is evident in young adults but attenuated in older age.
