Head movement, an important contributor to human cerebrospinal fluid circulation
The suboccipital muscles are connected to the upper cervical spinal dura mater via the myodural bridges (MDBs). Recently, it was suggested that they might work as a pump to provide power for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation. The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of the suboccipital muscles contractions on the CSF flow. Forty healthy adult volunteers were subjected to cine ph...

متن کاملCardiovascular adaptation to the Fontan circulation.
Although medium-term survival following Fontan operations in the modern era has improved dramatically, late cardiovascular and extracardiac morbidity are common and are associated with impaired quality of life and premature late mortality. This serves as a reminder of the extraordinary adaptations required of the cardiovascular system when the systemic arterial, systemic venous and pulmonary ci...
متن کاملHFpEF, diastolic suction, and exercise.
a d m t p d m o t s Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a disease of the myocardium, the vascular tree, the pulmonary circulation, and the kidneys. It may to some extent be attributed to unsuccessful aging. Why is a patient with HFpEF short of breath when exercising? In order to differentiate between a cardiac and a pulmonary etiology, Borlaug et al. (1) subjected patients...
