Interleukin 4, but not interleukin 5 or eosinophils, is required in a murine model of acute airway hyperreactivity. [PDF]
Reversible airway hyperreactivity underlies the pathophysiology of asthma, yet the precise mediators of the response remain unclear. Human studies have correlated aberrant activation of T helper (Th) 2-like effector systems in the airways with disease. A

Hemodynamic Evaluation of Nonselective \u3b2-Blockers in Patients with Cirrhosis and Refractory Ascites [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Nonselective \u3b2-blockers (NSBB) have been associated with increased incidence of paracentesis-induced circulatory dysfunction (PICD) and reduced survival in patients with cirrhosis and refractory ascites.

Abstract Purpose To enable contactless cardiac gating at 0.55T using pilot tone (PT). Current PT methods are unable to extract weak motions, including cardiac motion, at lower B0 field strengths (<1.5T). Methods We utilize high‐amplitude pilot tone with interference cancellation, termed HAPTIC.

Polymodal neurons of the trigeminal nerve innervate the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, oral cavity and cornea. Trigeminal nociceptive fibers express a diverse collection of receptors and are stimulated by a wide variety of chemicals.

Development of limb volume measuring system [PDF]
The mechanisms underlying the reductions in orthostatic tolerance associated with weightlessness are not well established. Contradictory results from measurements of leg volume changes suggest that altered venomotor tone and reduced blood flow may not be

Respiratory and Metabolic Effects of Active Expiration in Freely Behaving Rats
ABSTRACT Aim Exposure to low oxygen (hypoxia) or high carbon dioxide levels (hypercapnia) leads to a compensatory increase in pulmonary ventilation. Among the motor changes supporting the respiratory responses is the recruitment of abdominal expiratory muscles (ABD), which can enhance expiratory airflow or alter the duration of the expiratory phase. In

Patients with central respiratory paralysis can benefit from diaphragm pacing to restore respiratory function. However, it would be important to develop a continuous respiratory monitoring method to alert on apnea occurrence, in order to improve the ...

A Leptin-regulated Circuit Controls Glucose Mobilization During Noxious Stimuli [PDF]
Adipocytes secrete the hormone leptin to signal the sufficiency of energy stores. Reductions in circulating leptin concentrations reflect a negative energy balance, which augments sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation in response to metabolically ...

Abstract The present investigation sought to determine the cardiovascular responses to a commercially available KAATSU cuff system with rhythmic cuff inflation–deflation periods during leg exercise. Seventeen participants performed two‐legged knee flexion/extension exercise at 25% of peak work rate (WRPeak) with bilateral KAATSU cuffs applied to the ...

Coherence between subjective experience and physiology in emotion: Individual differences and implications for well-being. [PDF]
Emotion theorists have characterized emotions as involving coherent responding across various emotion response systems (e.g., covariation of subjective experience and physiology). Greater response system coherence has been theorized to promote well-being,
