OBJECTIVES To determine more closely the relationship between vasomotor symptoms, well-being and climacteric status according to the last menstrual bleeding and according to the women themselves. METHODS A population-based cross-sectional study was executed using a postal questionnaire. Well-being of women with and without vasomotor symptoms was compared, for the different menopausal statuses...

Acetazolamide (ACZ) was used to stimulate the cerebral vasculature on ten healthy volunteers to assess the cerebral vasomotor reactivity (CVR). We have combined near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) and transcranial Doppler (TCD) technologies to non-invasively assess CVR in real-time by measuring oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin concentrations, using NIRS, local cer...

To specifically investigate the effect that large-vessel disease may have on cortical reorganization, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to study patients with unilateral hemispheric hypoperfusion and impaired vasomotor reactivity from critical internal carotid or middle cerebral artery disease but without stroke. We hypothesized that when these patients used the hand contralateral t...

This study was performed to determine the effect of forced swimming on the vascular responsiveness of the rat superior mesenteric artery to phenylephrine, focusing on the involvement of locally produced substances. Repeated but not single sessions of forced swimming exercise reduced the vasoconstrictor potency of phenylephrine in the studied arteries, regardless of the presence of intact endoth...

To characterize pulmonary venous vasoactivity and the factors that modulate it, we determined venous responses to a vasoconstrictor agent, thromboxane A2 (TXA2) analogue U46619, and to a vasodilator agent, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), in 28 isolated blood-perfused lamb lungs under conditions of varying vascular tone and intraluminal pressures. TXA2 was given in a 5 micrograms/kg bolus foll...

background: osteoporosis is a common disease characterized by reduction in bone mass, due to depletion of calcium and bone protein. a pivotal role of the sympathetic nervous system in bone remodeling has been considered. on the other hand, elevated central sympathetic activation in postmenopausal women is involved in the creation of vasomotor symptoms. also, sympathetic skin response (ssr) has ...
