Effects of coronary sinus reducer on oxygen transport in myocardial ischemia
Although the coronary sinus reducer (CSR) has emerged as a promising therapeutic intervention for patients with refractory angina, its underlying mechanistic basis remains incompletely understood. Specifically, how CSR affects microvascu...

Intra-Breath Oscillometry Reveals Phase-Dependent Resistive Abnormalities in Respiratory Mechanics After Severe Covid-19
Post-COVID syndrome is often associated with persistent respiratory symptoms despite largely unremarkable conventional pulmonary function tests, suggesting the presence of subtle alterations in respiratory mechanics. We hypothesized that...

Improved muscle gearing in the medial gastrocnemius of pregnant and lactating rats
Musculoskeletal remodeling in the medial gastrocnemius of pregnant and lactating rats suggests adaptations that may influence variable gearing ability. Here, we show improved gearing dynamics in pregnant and lactating rats compared with ...

Home-based lower leg heat therapy in postmenopausal women with hypertension. I. Effects on blood pressure
This study hypothesized that 8-wk of home-based lower leg heat therapy would reduce blood pressure from pre-to-postimmersion (i.e., acute) and pre-to-postintervention (i.e., chronic) in postmenopausal women with hypertension. Although th...

A controlled comparison of two different calfactant preparations in a surfactant-deficient lamb model
In a preterm animal model of surfactant-deficient respiratory distress, we compared a concentrated, lower-volume calfactant to its commercial counterpart. The lower-volume calfactant could be administered in a single aliquot, was associa...

Aerobic training prevents the stress-induced endothelial dysfunction in male and female Wistar rats by different pathways
Variable stress impairs vascular function in male and female rats, reducing endothelium-dependent relaxation and increasing collagen deposition. Aerobic training prevented these stress-induced vascular alterations, acting through nitric ...

The effect of infrared radiation-emitting garments on the acute skeletal muscle molecular signalling responses to high-intensity interval exercise
Infrared radiation (IR) has been demonstrated to activate skeletal muscle cellular signalling pathways. We show that wearing IR-emitting fabric (IREF) before, during, and following high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) augmented some o...

Total energy expenditure and water turnover during a 322 km mountain ultramarathon
Multiday ultra-endurance events are exceptional human endurance feats as evidenced by large absolute total energy expenditure and water turnover values. Previously reported curvilinear constraints of metabolic activity during multiday ul...

β-Adrenergic receptors do not impact exercise hyperemia during rhythmic handgrip exercise in males and females
β-adrenergic blockade reduced heart rate without affecting blood pressure in either sex. Exercise hyperemia did not differ between sexes and was unchanged with β-adrenergic blockade, even after normalizing for interindividual variability...
