The clinical and physiological profiles of kissing stents in endovascular reconstruction of aortoiliac occlusive disease

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aortoiliac occlusive disease affecting the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries is conventionally treated with open surgical repair and is the mainstay of treatment. Endovascular techniques have become a less invasive alternative, especially for high‐risk patients.

Reality of Manned Flying Reactor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
New concept for reducing dose radiation exposure, which helps to decrease the duration and cost of deep space human missions is introduced. This concept can be efficiently realized, using modern materials, such as carbon nanotube composites.Comment: 3 ...

A model for plasma volume changes during short duration spaceflight [PDF]

open access: yes
It is well established that plasma volume decreases during spaceflight and simulated weightlessness (bedrest). The decrement in plasma volume is thought to contribute to the orthostatic intolerance that has been observed in some crew members following ...

Carotid artery dissection linked to intermittent apnoeic swimming: A case–control study

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection is a rare and potentially devastating cause of cerebral ischaemia, initiated by an intimal tear or rupture of the vasa vasorum, that can lead to an intraluminal thrombus, vascular stenosis, occlusion, or dissecting aneurysm formation.

Quantification of Ophthalmic Changes After Long-Duration Spaceflight, and Subsequent Recovery [PDF]

open access: yes
A subset of crewmembers are subjected to ophthalmic structure changes due to long-duration spaceflight (>6 months). Crewmembers who experience these changes are described as having Spaceflight Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS).

The effect of artificial gravity on the outcome of a two‐week resistance vibration exercise programme: BRAVE study

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of a 2‐week training programme comprising resistance vibration exercise (RVE) without and with artificial gravity (AG). Participants (n = 24) were divided into three groups: (i) URVE: upright loaded squat exercise; (ii) HRVE: horizontal loaded squat exercise; and (iii) AGRVE: loaded squat exercise ...
