BACKGROUND This study was designed to evaluate the occurrence and severity of ocular hyperemia in subjects with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) due to primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT) following treatment with bimatoprost 0.01% in a real-world clinical setting. METHODS This was an open-label, observational study conducted at 67 centers in Canada. Subjects wit...

The role of nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) in early blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption was determined using a new mouse model of transient focal cerebral ischemia. Ischemia was induced by ligating the middle cerebral artery (MCA) at its M2 segment and reperfusion was induced by releasing the ligation. The diameter alteration of the MCA, arterial anastomoses and collateral arteries were imaged ...

We studied the localization of blood flow control in skeletal muscle by shortterm microocclusions (30-60 seconds) of capillaries and arterioles of the pectoralis muscle in anesthetized frogs (Rana pipiens). The muscle was surgically exposed to permit transillumination and measurement of red cell velocity in the microvessels, but innervation and blood supply were kept intact. About one-third of ...

We investigated the independent contributions of the peak and continued reactive hyperemia on flow-mediated dilation (FMD). 1) For the duration manipulation experiment (DME), 10 healthy males experienced reactive hyperemia durations of 10 s, 20 s, 30 s, 40 s, 50 s, or full reactive hyperemia (RH). 2) For the peak manipulation experiment (PME), eight healthy males experienced reactive hyperemia ...

Tschakovsky, Michael E., and Don D. Sheriff. Immediate exercise hyperemia: contributions of the muscle pump vs. rapid vasodilation. J Appl Physiol 97: 739–747, 2004; 10.1152/japplphysiol.00185.2004.—A striking characteristic of the blood flow adaptation at exercise onset is the immediate and substantial increase in the first few (0–5 s) seconds of exercise. The purpose of this mini-review is to...
