Antimicrobial Effect of Ultraviolet C (UV‐C) Light Compared to Standard Povidone‐Iodine Protocol for Preoperative Disinfection of the Periocular Area

Veterinary Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the antimicrobial effect of 275 nm wavelength ultraviolet C (UV‐C) light on the periocular area of canine eyes for preoperative disinfection compared to standard 10% povidone‐iodine (PI) solution preparation. Methods The upper and lower eyelids of six research‐bred beagles were equally divided into two sections (medial ...

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.

Comparison of blood pressure measurements between the Huawei Watch D smartwatch application and the validated Omron M3 Intellisense device: Observational study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Popular wearable devices that record a variety of health metrics, such as real‐time blood pressure (BP), could play a role in detecting hypertension in the population. The objective of this study was to compare the validity of the Huawei D device with that of the Omron M3 Intellisense device used by health workers.

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 ...
