Brain strain: Blood flow and metabolism in environmental extremes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This narrative review compares and contrasts the most commonly encountered environmental stressors on human cerebrovascular functioning. From high altitude and space, extreme apnoea, heat and cold stress, the impact of these stressors on the regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygen metabolism (CMRO2${\mathrm{CM}}{{\mathrm{R}}_ ...

Detection of impaired cerebral autoregulation improves by increasing arterial blood pressure variability

, 2012
Although the assessment of dynamic cerebral autoregulation (CA) based on measurements of spontaneous fluctuations in arterial blood pressure (ABP) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) is a convenient and much used method, there remains uncertainty about its ...

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

Experimental 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.

The role of acid‐base balance in cerebrovascular and ventilatory responses to CO2 during 10 h normobaric hypoxia

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend During 10 h exposures to normobaric hypoxia exposure there was a selective leftward shift in ventilatory response to hyperoxic hypercapnic rebreathing, but not the cerebrovascular response. The key findings are that the resetting of the central chemoreflex to lower PCO2${P_{{\mathrm{C}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$ during early hypoxic ...

The Findings of Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography in Patients with Ischemic Stroke

Caspian Journal of Neurological Sciences, 2015
Background: Stroke is a multifactorial disorder, the most common cause being arterial occlusion. Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography (TCD) is a common non-invasive method available for assessment the arterial blood flow of the brain.

A Comparative Study of Transcranial Color-Coded Doppler (TCCD) and Transcranial Doppler (TCD) Ultrasonography Techniques in Assessing the Intracranial Cerebral Arteries Haemodynamics

Diagnostics
Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) poses a major public health and socio-economic burden worldwide due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. Accurate assessment of cerebral arteries’ haemodynamic plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment ...

Arterial–venous differences of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor isoforms across the brain and muscle after exercise at different intensities

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Exercise‐induced increases in forearm venous plasma and serum brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are often assumed to be indicative of release from the brain. Sixteen healthy and physically fit adults (20–40 years old) were recruited to investigate whether exercise‐induced changes in forearm venous mature BDNF (mBDNF) and ...
