Neurovascular Disorders in Pregnancy: Prevalence, Clinical Assessment and Management—A Review of the Literature

The Obstetrician &Gynaecologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Key Content Neurovascular conditions in pregnancy are rare but are associated with poor maternal and fetal outcomes. This review covers the prevalence, clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of neurovascular disorders in pregnancy. The approach to clinical assessment and investigation of pregnant women with acute or changing chronic ...

An eye on long‐duration spaceflight: Controversies, countermeasures and challenges

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Space flight‐associated neuroocular syndrome (SANS) is a consequence of long‐duration space flight and is detected in two‐thirds of astronauts. In‐flight, this can cause a change in the refraction of the eyes, requiring graded hypermetropic ‘superfocus adjustable’ glasses, optic nerve head oedema and choroidal folds.

Effect of Implementing Modified Valsalva Maneuver on Clinical Outcomes for Patients with Acute Supraventricular Tachycardia [PDF]

Tanta Scientific Nursing Journal
Background: Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a common cause of emergency room visits. Modified Valsalva maneuver (MVM) is proven to be safe to some extent, effective in terminating SVT episodes and can be easily performed by critical care nurses ...

Individuals with persisting post‐concussion symptoms with physiological subtype demonstrate altered cardiovascular and autonomic responses to face cooling

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Individuals with persisting post‐concussion symptoms with physiological subtype (PPCS‐P) demonstrate exercise intolerance due to exacerbation of concussion‐like symptoms during incremental exercise. We tested the hypothesis that individuals with PPCS‐P (n = 12) would have a blunted cardiac autonomic response to face cooling compared to healthy

Assessment of perineal body properties in women with stress urinary incontinence using Transperineal shear wave elastography

Scientific Reports
Limited data on the correlation between the perineal body (PB) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) are available. The objectives of this study were to quantify the PB using shear wave elastography (SWE) technology with a high-frequency linear array ...

Time‐course analysis of cerebral circulation and cardiorespiratory responses to acute central blood volume reduction in healthy young males

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central blood volume (CBV) reduction challenges circulatory and respiratory homeostasis, particularly during the initial compensatory phase (0–2 min), when rapid physiological adaptations occur. In this study, we examined dynamic cardiorespiratory responses to CBV reduction using lower‐body negative pressure (LBNP) in 11 healthy young males ...

No difference in mean middle cerebral artery blood velocity responses between lower‐ and upper‐body unilateral resistance exercise in untrained individuals

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Dynamic resistance exercise (RE) produces sinusoidal fluctuations in blood pressure that are mirrored by middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv). However, whether lower‐ or upper‐body RE elicits a differential cerebrovascular response has not yet been examined.

Carotid artery dissection linked to intermittent apnoeic swimming: A case–control study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection is a rare and potentially devastating cause of cerebral ischaemia, initiated by an intimal tear or rupture of the vasa vasorum, that can lead to an intraluminal thrombus, vascular stenosis, occlusion, or dissecting aneurysm formation.

Variation of the anal resting pressure induced by postexpiratory apnea effort in patients with constipation

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2011
CONTEXT: Intestinal constipation - a common symptom among the general population - is more frequent in women. It may be secondary to an improper diet or organic or functional disturbances, such as dyskinesia of the pelvic floor.
