The uses of mercury equipment and products in Irish healthcare [PDF]

, 2008
Mercury is a naturally occurring metal, one of the most toxic metals within the food chain and has a number of uses in the Irish health care sector. This paper reports on a mercury survey in Ireland with the purpose to present a picture of mercury use in

Toward Automation of the Supine Pressor Test for Preeclampsia [PDF]

, 2019
Preeclampsia leads to increased risk of morbidity and mortality for both mother and fetus. Most previous studies have largely neglected mechanical compression of the left renal vein by the gravid uterus as a potential mechanism.

The modified Borg cycle strength test (mBCST): Feasibility and physiological response in people with COPD and healthy older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate prescription of supramaximal exercise requires exercise tests covering the intensity domain between maximal aerobic and peak power output. All‐out tests are commonly used for this objective but are considered challenging for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) due to the extreme physiological demand.

Cerebrovascular pulsatility following long duration spaceflight is associated with changes in pulse pressure and carotid artery stiffness

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central artery stiffening increases the haemodynamic pulsations transmitted downstream towards target organs, including the brain. While recent evidence suggests that long duration spaceflight is associated with reduced common carotid artery (CCA) distensibility, cerebrovascular pulsatility has not been extensively characterized in astronauts.

Pharmacologic Management of Pediatric Hypertension [PDF]

, 2015
Hypertension in children is common, and the prevalence of primary hypertension is increasing with the obesity epidemic and changing dietary choices. Careful measurement of blood pressure is important to correctly diagnose hypertension, as many factors ...

Intestinal epithelial injury and inflammation after physical work in temperate and hot environments in older men with hypertension or type 2 diabetes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We tested whether older adults with well‐controlled type 2 diabetes or hypertension, compared with age‐matched adults without chronic disease, exhibit greater intestinal damage, microbial translocation and inflammation during exertional heat stress.

Passive thigh heating improves peak force production in younger adults and early isokinetic force production in younger and older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Older adults often suffer from reduced physical capability relative to young adults, in part due to impaired muscle function. This study investigated the ergogenic effects of passive thigh heating on knee extensor torque production in healthy older versus younger adults.

Clinical Manifestations and Case Management of Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever caused by a newly identified virus strain, Bundibugyo, Uganda, 2007-2008 [PDF]

, 2012
A confirmed Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF) outbreak in Bundibugyo, Uganda, November 2007-February 2008, was caused by a putative new species (Bundibugyo ebolavirus). It included 93 putative cases, 56 laboratory-confirmed cases, and 37 deaths (CFR = 25%).

Eight weeks of post‐exercise local heating does not improve cognition and plasma brain‐derived neurotrophic factor concentrations

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise and heat stress have been reported to independently provide benefits to brain health. We tested the hypothesis that 8 weeks of post‐exercise local heating, passive local heating only, or exercise training only improves cognitive performance compared to a control group.
