Smooth Muscle Mechanosensitivity Generates and Maintains Pressure Gradients Across the Intestine

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Mechanosensitivity of the smooth muscle induces a positive‐feedback loop that spontaneously generates pressure gradients across gut segments and stabilizes initially applied pressure gradients. It can act jointly or compete with the pressure gradient induced by directional peristaltic waves.

Chemotherapy‐Induced Neuropathy Affecting the Gastrointestinal Tract

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Chemotherapy (with/without immunotherapy/radiotherapy) may induce neurotoxic effects on the gastrointestinal innervation. Chemotherapy‐induced enteric neuropathy (CIEN) and, probably, neurotoxicity affecting the extrinsic innervation of the gut and the brain underlie the frequent and impactful gut dysfunctions and brain–gut axis (BGA) disorders ...

Law of Urination: all mammals empty their bladders over the same duration [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2013
Many urological studies rely upon animal models such as rats and pigs whose urination physics and correlation to humans are poorly understood. Here we elucidate the hydrodynamics of urination across five orders of magnitude in animal mass. Using high-speed videography and flow rate measurement at Zoo Atlanta, we discover the "Law of Urination," which ...

The effect of seasonal heat acclimatization on cool‐seeking behaviour during passive heat stress in young adults

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Seasonal heat acclimatization is known to enhance autonomic thermoeffector responses, whereas the behavioural response following seasonal heat acclimatization remains unknown. We investigated whether seasonal heat acclimatization would alter autonomic and behavioural thermoregulatory responses.
