Cerebrovascular flow‐mediated dilation in humans: Methodological challenges, physiological interpretation and future integrations

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Arterial shear‐mediated vasodilation is a well‐established measure of endothelial function and serves as a critical biomarker for cardiovascular disease risk. Endothelial function can be measured using a variety of experimental methodologies; however, the most widely adopted technique is ultrasound‐based flow‐mediated dilation (FMD), in which ...

Pediatric Neurosonology in Practice: Bridging Anatomy, Physiology, and Clinical Decision‐Making

Clinical Neuroimaging
Pediatric neurosonology is an important component of non‐invasive brain monitoring. The combination of transcranial and ocular ultrasound enables real‐time assessment of cerebral blood flow velocities, autoregulation, and intracranial dynamics across ...

Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography to evaluate cerebral hemodynamic changes in neurocysticercosis

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria
Background Arteritis is a complication of neurocysticercosis (NCC), which is not well known and could trigger strokes. The transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) is a noninvasive method for detecting, staging, and monitoring cerebrovascular ...

Cuantificación ultrasonográfica de la estenosis carotídea: recomendaciones de la Sociedad Española de Neurosonología

Neurología, 2013
Resumen: En España se estima que aproximadamente un 28% de los ictus isquémicos son de etiología aterotrombótica y mayoritariamente se deben a una estenosis carotídea.

Whole‐body hot water immersion effect on cerebral haemodynamics and subsequent cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract To test the hypothesis that hot water immersion (HWI) improves cerebrovascular function via shear‐mediated mechanisms, this study determined cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide (CVRCO2${\mathrm{CV}}{{\mathrm{R}}_{{\mathrm{C}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$) before and after 60 min of 39°C HWI and a 21°C air control (CON) in 15 healthy ...

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 ...

CARE‐ing for concussions: Development of the Calgary Adapted aRm Ergometer (CARE) exertion test: A physiological alternative to the Calgary Concussion Cycle Test

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aerobic exercise testing helps facilitate recovery post‐concussion. Current protocols (Calgary Concussion Cycling Test: CCCT) are inaccessible for athletes with lower‐body impairments (i.e. Para athletes). This study compared physiological parameters for a novel arm crank test, the Calgary Adapted aRm Ergometer (CARE) test, with the CCCT ...

Ultrasound measurement of carotid stenosis: Recommendations from the Spanish Society of Neurosonology

Neurología (English Edition), 2013
In Spain, approximately 28% of ischaemic strokes have an atherothrombotic cause, and most are due to carotid stenosis. Ultrasound is the most commonly used technique for diagnosing carotid stenosis.

Physiological evaluation of the Calgary adapted aRm ergometer (CARE) concussion exertion test in adolescent athletes: A repeated‐measures observational study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exertion testing helps inform exercise prescription during concussion recovery. The Calgary Adapted aRm Ergometer (CARE) test, developed as the first upper‐body specific exertion test, aims to improve accessibility and inclusivity in concussion care.
