Arterial Stiffness in a Cohort of Young People Living With Perinatal HIV and HIV Negative Young People in England
Goswami, Nandu (2022)Background: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has increased life expectancy and consequently the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adults living with HIV. We investigated the levels and predictors of arterial stiffness ... -
Assessment of the Cardiovascular Risk Profile of Infants Exposed to Pre-eclampsia in-utero: A Prospective Case-Control Study in South African Children of African Ancestry
Goswami, Nandu (2021)Background: It has been reported that maternal gestational environment may be programmed to have a significant impact on foetal and offspring health later in life. Studies have shown that children born to pre-eclamptic ... -
Assessment of the Performance of Obesity Measures in the Screening of Hypertension in a South African Adolescent Population
Goswami, Nandu (2023)Abstract: Obesity is known to be one of the most significant risk factors for essential hypertension in childhood. However, whether obesity cut-offs may predict hypertension screening in adolescents remains controversial. ... -
Compensatory hemodynamic changes in response to central hypovolemia in humans: lower body negative pressure: updates and perspectives
Goswami, Nandu (2022-10)Abstract: Central hypovolemia is accompanied by hemodynamic compensatory responses. Understanding the complex systemic compensatory responses to altered hemodynamic patterns during conditions of central hypovolemia—as ... -
Diversity of Hemodynamic Reactive Profiles across Persons—Psychosocial Implications for Personalized Medicine
Goswami, Nandu (2022-07)Abstract: This study analyzed the individual differences in hemodynamic time patterns and reactivity to cognitive and emotional tasks, and explored the diversity of psycho-physiological profiles that could be used for the ... -
Effect of Microgravity Environment on Gut Microbiome and Angiogenesis
Goswami, Nandu (2021)Abstract: Microgravity environments are known to cause a plethora of stressors to astronauts. Recently, it has become apparent that gut microbiome composition of astronauts is altered following space travel, and this is ... -
Effects of space flight on sperm function and integrity: A systematic review
Ahrari, Khulood; Omolaoye, Temidayo S; Goswami, Nandu; Al Suwaidi, Hanan; Du Plessis, Stefan (2022-08)Abstract: With the advancement in space exploration and the intention to establish an inhabitable human settlement on Mars, it is important to investigate the effects of exposure to space/microgravity and the associated ... -
Health and Academic Performance With Happy Children: A Controlled Longitudinal Study Based on the HOPP Project
Goswami, Nandu (2022)Background: Overweight/obesity in children and adolescents, largely arising due to increased food intake and reduced physical activity, is a major health concern. Physical activity (PA) integrated into learning has been ... -
Human physiology adaptation to altered gravity environments
Goswami, Nandu (2021)Abstract: Multiple transitions between gravity levels will occur during planetary exploration missions. In reaction to these gravitational transitions, physiological adaptation will be initiated. However, the physiological ... -
The kidney, volume homeostasis and osmoregulation in space: current perspective and knowledge gaps
Goswami, Nandu (2023)Introduction: Although we have sent humans into space for more than 50 years crucial questions regarding kidney physiology, volume regulation and osmoregulation remain unanswered. The complex interactions between the ... -
Pathophysiology, risk, diagnosis, and management of venous thrombosis in space: where are we now?
Goswami, Nandu (2023)Introduction: A recent study investigating astronaut jugular venous flow inflight on the International Space Station (ISS) reported the incidental finding of a persistent asymptomatic obstructive left internal jugular ... -
A pilot study: Exploring the influence of COVID-19 on cardiovascular physiology and retinal microcirculation
Goswami, Nandu (2023)Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) affects the cardiovascular system. The current study investigated changes in heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), pulse wave velocity (PWV), ... -
Retinal venular vessel diameters are smaller during ten days of bed rest
Goswami, Nandu (2024)Introduction: Older individuals experience cardiovascular dysfunction during extended bedridden hospital or care home stays. Bed rest is also used as a model to simulate accelerated vascular deconditioning occurring during ... -
Search for Venous Endothelial Biomarkers Heralding Venous Thromboembolism in Space: A Qualitative Systematic Review of Terrestrial Studies
Goswami, Nandu (2022)Background: The recent discovery of a venous thrombosis in the internal jugular vein of an astronaut has highlighted the need to predict the risk of venous thromboembolism in otherwise healthy individuals (VTE) in space. ... -
Sex Variations in Retinal Microcirculation Response to Lower Body Negative Pressure
Shankhwa, Vishwajeet; Goswami, Nandu (2023)Introduction: Lower body negative pressure (LBNP) is routinely used to induce central hypovolemia. LBNP leads to a shift in blood to the lower extremities. While the effects of LBNP on physiological responses and large ... -
Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Its Cardioprotective Abilities: A Systematic Review
Goswami, Nandu (2023)Abstract: Despite the vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) being used in neuroscience, it has recently been highlighted that it has cardioprotective functions. However, many studies related to VNS are not mechanistic in nature. ...
