The effect of expressing anger on cardiovascular reactivity and facial blood flow in Chinese and Caucasians [PDF]

, 2001
Blood pressure, heart rate, and changes in facial and finger blood flow were monitored in 24 male Chinese and 24 male Caucasians while they described anger-provoking incidents and read out neutral material, either loudly and rapidly or softly and slowly.

Diabetes‐Associated Cognitive Impairment: Pathophysiology and Emerging Therapies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diabetes‐associated cognitive impairment (DACI) is a common yet underrecognized condition, manifesting along a spectrum from mild cognitive impairment to dementia. DACI encompasses patients who develop vascular dementia (VaD) or Alzheimer's disease (AD) with diabetes as a risk factor; however, in certain patients, particularly those lacking ...

The multitasking framework: the effects of increasing workload on acute psychobiological stress reactivity [PDF]

, 2014
A variety of techniques exist for eliciting acute psychological stress in the laboratory; however, they vary in terms of their ease of use, reliability to elicit consistent responses and the extent to which they represent the stressors encountered in ...

Re‐Purposing Sapropterin (Kuvan) for ACTA2‐Related Multisystemic Smooth Muscle Dysfunction Syndrome: A Translational Mechanistic and First‐In‐Human Therapeutic Report

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome (MSMDS) is an ultra‐rare, ACTA2‐related disorder characterized by severe cerebrovascular disease, aortic aneurysms, and smooth muscle dysfunction. Using molecular dynamics simulations and in silico drug screening, we identified that sapropterin dihydrochloride (Kuvan) is a candidate capable of ...

Changes in Immune‐Inflammation Status and Prognosis in Pregnancy‐Related Cerebral Venous Thrombosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Distinguishing pathological changes from physiological adaptations in pregnancy‐related cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is clinically challenging. This study aimed to characterize coagulation, immune‐inflammation, and dehydration status in these patients and assess their prognostic value.

Pregnancy blunts pulmonary vascular reactivity in dogs

, 1980
Pregnancy decreases systemic vascular reactivity but comparatively little is known about the effects of pregnancy on the pulmonary circulation. Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) during acute hypoxia was lower (P < 0.01) in eight intact anesthetized

Association between bilirubin and cardiovascular disease risk factors: using Mendelian randomization to assess causal inference

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2012
Background Elevated serum bilirubin has been associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, serum bilirubin is also related with several potential confounders related to CVD, such as obesity.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Over Plasma Links Analytes to Cognitive Decline in Older Adults at Risk for Alzheimer's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To identify inflammatory analytes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma associated with cognitive decline in cognitively normal (CN) older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods In a longitudinal study of 118 CN older adults (65–80 years, 54% APOE ε4, 26% preclinical AD), 1331 CSF and 1501 plasma analytes were ...

Advanced Thermal Measures of Vascular Reactivity

, 2017
New measures of Digital Thermal Monitoring (DTM), a low cost non-invasive tool to assess vascular health, are developed. Original measures of thermal vascular reactivity tend to be dependent upon the initial vascular state (such as temperature before ...
