Postural control in humans: a study using transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of the study was to investigate the spinal mechanisms involved in regulating postural balance in humans. Participants stood in a normal stance, with their spinal postural networks either non‐invasively activated or not stimulated by electrical stimulation.

Quantifying skin microvascular function responses to distinct forms of heat stress in humans using optical coherence tomography

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Pregnancy shifts endothelial progenitor cell morphology and function: Role of metabolism, pro‐inflammatory cytokines and fetal sex

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We recruited non‐pregnant women (NP), women in early pregnancy (EP) and late pregnancy (LP) for isolation of endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs) via density gradient centrifugation. Plasma supernatant was collected for analysis of markers of glucose and lipid metabolism (fasting glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, low ...

Beyond the Spirometry: New Diagnostic Modalities in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [PDF]

Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases
Spirometry can play a critical role as a gold standard in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). While the criteria for diagnosis have advanced over time, the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive ...

The "Abdominal Circulatory Pump": An auxiliary heart during exercise? [PDF]

, 2016
Apart from its role as a flow generator for ventilation the diaphragm has a circulatory role. The cyclical abdominal pressure variations from its contractions cause swings in venous return from the splanchnic venous circulation.

Females exhibit greater cardiac volume reductions with expiratory muscle loading during submaximal exercise compared to males

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Intrathoracic pressure (ITP) manipulation during submaximal exercise reveals load‐ and sex‐specific cardiac volume responses. Inspiratory loading increased oesophageal pressure swings and the work of breathing (Wb) but did not alter stroke volume (SV) or ventricular volumes in males or females.

Changes in Body Composition in Children and Young People Undergoing Treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Ongoing evidence indicates increased risk of sarcopenic obesity among children and young people (CYP) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), often beginning early in treatment, persisting into survivorship. This review evaluates current literature on body composition in CYP with ALL during and after treatment.

Tacrolimus Induced Hypertension and Vascular Remodeling Includes Mechanisms of Cellular Senescence—The Protective Effect of Valsartan

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) such as tacrolimus (Tac) are the first‐line treatment to prevent transplant rejection. However, CNI have adverse effects on blood vessels and renal function, which may be linked to cellular senescence. Valsartan, a common angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) blocker, exhibits anti‐senescence properties.

Body fat measurement by bioelectrical impedance and air displacement plethysmography: a cross-validation study to design bioelectrical impedance equations in Mexican adults [PDF]

, 2007
Background The study of body composition in specific populations by techniques such as bio-impedance analysis (BIA) requires validation based on standard reference methods. The aim of this study was to develop and cross-validate a predictive equation for
