Background: Plasma volume (PV) expansion hallmarks the syndrome of heart failure (HF) but is difficult to be quantified noninvasively. Estimated plasma volume status (ePVS) has marked prognostic utility in the failing left heart, however its use in right

The relationship of circulating fibroblast growth factor 21 levels with pericardial fat: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. [PDF]
Previous small studies have reported an association between circulating fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) levels and pericardial fat volume in post-menopausal women and high cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk patients. In this study, we investigated the

Introduction Consuming intracellular osmolytes, like betaine (BET), may attenuate symptoms of heat stress. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of BET supplementation on fluid balance and heat tolerance after a 7‐day loading period and ...

Changes in hydration status influence plasma volume (PV) which is associated with post‐exercise parasympathetic reactivation. The present study hypothesized that, after dehydrating cycling exercise in the heat (DE), stimulation of PV expansion with ...

Laser irradiated foam targets: absorption and radiative properties [PDF]
An experimental campaign to characterize the laser radiation absorption of foam targets and the subsequent emission of radiation from the produced plasma was carried out in the ABC facility of the ENEA Research Center in Frascati (Rome).

Effect of Intraduodenal Bile and Taurodeoxycholate on Exocrine Pancreatic Secretion and on Plasma Levels of Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide and Somatostatin in Man [PDF]
Intraduodenal (i.d.) application of bile or Na-taurodeoxycholate (TDC) dose dependently enhances basal exocrine pancreatic secretion. The hydrokinetic effect is mediated at least in part by secretin.

Effect of therapeutic phlebotomy on plasma volume in polycythemia patients
Background: Therapeutic phlebotomy (TP) helps in reducing the red cell mass thereby whole blood viscosity to improve tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery in polycythemia patients.

Relationship between prolactin plasma levels and white matter volume in women with multiple sclerosis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The role of prolactin (PRL) on tissue injury and repair mechanisms in multiple sclerosis (MS) remains unclear. The aim of this work was to investigate the relationship between PRL plasma levels and brain damage as measured by magnetic ...

Increases in reproductive hormones like estrogen, play an important role in the remarkable increases in plasma volume observed in pregnancy. Accurate estimates of plasma volume expansion during pregnancy depend on correctly timing and measuring plasma ...
