The aging process appears to be a precursor to many age-related diseases, perhaps the
most impactful of which is cardiovascular disease (CVD). Heart disease, a manifestation of …

Purpose The aim of this study was to examine whether differences in vascular
responsiveness associated with training status would be more prominent in the trained limb …

The limb-specific effects of aging upon vessel structure and function are not well understood.
Consequently, in 12 young (26±2 yr) and 12 old (72±1 yr) healthy subjects, we utilized …

Recent studies are reviewed, concerning the in vivo wall stiffness of arteries and arterioles in
healthy humans, and how these properties adapt to iterative increments or sustained …

Background There is an increasing demand for successful free tissue transfer, with
postoperative monitoring of flaps a key to early salvage. Monitoring methods have ranged …

We sought to examine flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) in both the arm [brachial artery
(BA)] and lower leg [popliteal artery (PA)] of 12 young, healthy subjects. Vessel diameter …

With little known regarding sex and limb heterogeneity, we investigated vascular reactivity
and ischemic reperfusion (IR) in the upper and lower extremities of 15 healthy men (26±2 yr) …

Background: Free flaps to the lower limb have inherently high venous pressures, potentially
impairing flap viability, which may lead to limb amputation if flap failure ensues. Adequate …

Despite decades of experience from high-gravitoinertial (G) exposures in aircraft and
centrifuges, information is scarce regarding primary cardiovascular adaptations to+ Gz loads …

Thermoregulatory control of human body temperature is of paramount importance for normal
bodily functions. Exposure of the upper and lower limbs to localized cold stress can cause …
