Obrazowanie kompleksu łechtaczkowego w diagnostyce seksuologicznej

Menopause Review, 2010
The ability to measure physiological parameters of sexual function in women has lagged far behind that inmen. Female sexual arousal is an important aspect of female sexuality, yet it is a difficult phenomenon to investigate.The purpose of this article is

Blood flow restriction exercise during microgravity exposure in parabolic flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This case report evaluates whether it is possible to perform blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise during exposure to microgravity. The objectives were three‐fold: (1) to determine if a personalised tourniquet system (PTS) hardware technology performs nominally and enables BFR exercise in microgravity; (2) to determine if BFR augments the ...

Intermittent hand and forearm immersion in 20°C water attenuates thermal, cardiovascular, and perceptual strain in older adults during heat stress

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Cardiopulmonary function in special operations forces compared to conventional infantry soldiers

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fitness is essential to military personnel in general, especially in the special operations forces (SOF), where the demanding tasks require a high level of physical fitness and mental robustness. However, little research has been done on SOF to characterise the putative underlying cardiopulmonary adaptations that distinguish them from ...

A comparison of normobaric and hypobaric hypoxia effects on cerebrovascular response pre and post maximal exercise

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract A lack of consensus remains on whether normobaric hypoxia (NH) and hypobaric hypoxia (HH) may differentially impact physiological factors affecting cerebrovascular regulation, particularly with an additional strenuous exercise component. We sought to compare the acute effects of NH and HH on global cerebral blood flow (gCBF) at an altitude ...

Combined multi‐metric assessment of diaphragm contractile function in healthy humans: Feasibility, validity and reliability

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The combined use of subcostal ultrasonography and respiratory manometry represents a novel, integrative method for quantifying diaphragm contractile function (force, velocity and power). We evaluated the technical feasibility, construct validity and within‐day test–retest reliability of this method during non‐volitional, volitional and ...

Toe digit pulsation measurement by impedance plethysmography in miniaturized devices: An early feasibility test

Journal of Electrical Bioimpedance
This early feasibility test explores impedance plethysmography (IPG) for detecting toe pulse waves using a setup suited for miniaturized devices. Conventional tests often miss micro-circulatory impairment, which is critical for wound healing and limb ...

Evidence for early endothelial dysfunction associated with the ALDH2 rs671 gene variant: A preliminary investigation with young East Asians

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is a mitochondrial enzyme that plays an important role in aldehyde detoxification. A large percentage (30–50%) of the East Asian population carry a single point mutation in the ALDH2 gene (ALDH2*2 variant) that causes a severe reduction or lack of ALDH2 enzyme activity, and leads to disrupted cellular ...

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.

Early life stress and disruption of the ageing trajectory in female rats: Insights into the origins and mechanisms underlying the risk of hypertension

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Menopause increases the risk of hypertension in women, yet the factors contributing to this important change remain unclear. Because early life stress has persistent and sex‐specific consequences on health, we hypothesized that ageing reveals the latent effects of neonatal maternal separation (NMS) on cardiovascular homeostasis in female rats.
