Extremely short duration sprint interval training improves vascular health in older adults [PDF]
Exercise improves health and physical function in older people, but very few older people participate although the trend is for increasing participation. This study sought to determine whether short duration sprint interval training (SIT) improves health

Effects of weight loss and insulin reduction on arterial stiffness in the SAVE trial
Background Chronic arterial stiffness contributes to the negative health effects of obesity and insulin resistance, which include hypertension, stroke, and increased cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity are

Vascular Response to Sildenafil Citrate in Aging and Age-Related Macular Degeneration. [PDF]
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) - the leading cause of vision loss in the elderly - share many risks factors as atherosclerosis, which exhibits loss of vascular compliance resulting from aging and oxidative stress.

Pulmonary artery stiffness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) and emphysema: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) COPD Study [PDF]
Purpose: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and particularly emphysema are characterized by stiffness of the aorta, due in part to accelerated elastin degradation in the lungs and aorta. Stiffness of the pulmonary arteries (PAs) may also be

Prevalence of Early Vascular Aging Syndrome in Men Working Under Noise Exposure
Noise can be one of the factors provoking the premature development of changes in the artery wall associated with age. Aim: to assess the stiffness of the vascular wall and the prevalence of early vascular aging syndrome in men of working age, depending ...

Vascular phyllotaxis transition and an evolutionary mechanism of phyllotaxis [PDF]
Leaves of vascular plants are arranged regularly around stems, a phenomenon known as phyllotaxis. A constant angle between two successive leaves is called divergence angle. On the one side, the divergence angle $\alpha_0$ of an initial pattern of leaf primordia at a shoot apex is most commonly an irrational number of about 137.5 degrees, called limit ...

Analytical modeling of laminated composite rings on nonreciprocal elastic foundations under non-axisymmetric loading [PDF]
A mechanical model of a laminated composite ring on a nonreciprocal elastic foundation is a valuable engineering tool during the early design stages of various applications, such as non-pneumatic wheels, flexible bearings, expandable tubulars in oil wells, and vascular stents interacting with blood vessel linings, especially under non-axisymmetric ...
