Effect of Microgravity Environment on Gut Microbiome and Angiogenesis
(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 ...
Human physiology adaptation to altered gravity environments
(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 ...
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
(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 ...
Arterial Stiffness in a Cohort of Young People Living With Perinatal HIV and HIV Negative Young People in England
(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 ...
Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Its Cardioprotective Abilities: A Systematic Review
(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. ...
Pathophysiology, risk, diagnosis, and management of venous thrombosis in space: where are we now?
(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 ...
The kidney, volume homeostasis and osmoregulation in space: current perspective and knowledge gaps
(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 ...
Compensatory hemodynamic changes in response to central hypovolemia in humans: lower body negative pressure: updates and perspectives
(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 ...
Health and Academic Performance With Happy Children: A Controlled Longitudinal Study Based on the HOPP Project
(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 ...
Search for Venous Endothelial Biomarkers Heralding Venous Thromboembolism in Space: A Qualitative Systematic Review of Terrestrial Studies
(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. ...
