Abstract Adults >65 years of age experience deleterious health effects during extreme heat events at a greater rate than any other age cohort. The purpose of this study was to identify the effectiveness of acute intermittent hand and forearm (H+F) water immersion and/or chronic (7 week) folic acid supplementation on reducing thermal and cardiovascular ...

Sex differences in cerebral blood flow and cardiac function in response to exercise in the heat
Abstract We investigated the effect of exercising in hot conditions on cerebral blood flow and systolic left ventricular (LV) function in males and females, to explore sex differences. The experimental condition consisted of walking on a treadmill at 5 km/h and 2% incline, inside a heat chamber at 40°C (50% relative humidity), for 90 min.

Cerebrovascular regulation during heat stress
Abstract Given that the brain is a highly metabolic organ and is enclosed by the skull, effective regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF), not only for oxygen and nutrients supply but also as a means of convective heat exchange, is critical for preventing excessive elevations in brain temperature.

Abstract Passive hyperthermia increases net peripheral and systemic blood flow in humans and other animals, yet the underlying haemodynamic forces that selectively accelerate blood movement remain incompletely characterized. Wave intensity analysis offers insight into the respective contributions of the heart and the vascular system to changes in blood

Abstract Optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables visualization and quantification of the cutaneous microvasculature, yet no study has compared responses to distinct forms of heating in humans. We hypothesized that local skin heating (LH) would evoke larger responses in microvascular diameter, velocity, flow and density than passive whole‐body ...
