Effect of repeated hot water immersion on cognitive performance, cerebrovascular function, sleep and biomarkers of neurodegeneration in older adults

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ageing is associated with cognitive decline and increased risk of developing neurodegenerative disease. Repeated passive heating, using hot water immersion (HWI), may improve cognitive performance via improved cerebral oxygenation, but this is yet to be examined in older adults.

Clearance of p16‐positive cardiac cells improves age‐related cardiac remodeling in mice

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Senescent cells are characterized by expression of markers like p16 and secretion of profibrotic and proinflammatory factors. The role of cellular senescence in age‐related cardiac remodeling and dysfunction is incompletely understood. This study aimed to: (i) evaluate the effect of p16‐ positive cell clearance on cardiac function and ...

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

open access: yesExperimental 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 ...

Galectin‐3 plasma levels are associated with left atrial contractile function in long‐distance runners

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐intensity endurance exercise induces myocardial remodelling as an adaptive response to sustained volume overload, but excessive cumulative training might also favour deleterious cardiac remodelling, including atrial fibrosis. Whether acute marathon running engages circulating fibrosis‐related biomarkers and whether these biomarkers track ...

Effects of 14 days of head‐down bed rest with or without exercise, and subsequent recovery on bone turnover, density and structure in older adults

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bed rest accelerates bone loss and may exacerbate skeletal fragility. This study examined the effects of 14 days of head‐down tilt bed rest (HDBR) with or without exercise, and subsequent recovery, on bone turnover, density and structure in older adults. Twenty‐two healthy older adults (55–65 years) completed the HDBR protocol.

Far‐infrared sauna exposure at 65°C elevates core temperature

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Far‐infrared (FIR) saunas are increasingly used as a passive heating and ‘wellness’ modality, yet their capacity to elevate core temperature remains unclear, particularly given prior work at lower temperatures (∼45°C) reports limited net heat storage.

Physical activity partly inhibits autonomic imbalance, immune dysfunction and quality of life induced by chronic shiftwork in policemen

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic shiftwork can impair autonomic cardiovascular regulation and immune homeostasis. However, the interaction between occupational status and physical activity level in military police officers remains incompletely understood. This cross‐sectional factorial study included 102 men stratified according to occupational status and physical ...

Management and decision-making strategy for systolic anterior motion after mitral valve repair

open access: yesJournal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2009
Objective: Systolic anterior motion can complicate mitral valve repair. It can have no clinical consequence or cause low cardiac output syndrome and hypotension. The management of systolic anterior motion in the operating room remains controversial: some

Sutures on the Anterior Mitral Leaflet to Prevent Systolic Anterior Motion

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2021
Mitral valve systolic anterior motion and associated regurgitation remain a challenging problem in mitral valve plasty. A simple procedure to correct intraoperative systolic anterior motion using sutures applied between the tip of the anterior leaflet and the posterior annulus is presented.
