Standardizing dose in dosimetric bronchial challenge tests
Summary Recent technical recommendations on bronchial challenge testing aim at standardized assessment of provocative dose of causing 20% decrease in FEV1 (PD20). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mode of nebulization on the output of a computerized dosimeter (APS) and to compare PD20 obtained by two different dosimetric systems in vivo. The output of the APS system was tested during continuous nebulization, and using simulated breaths, for intermittent actuations with four different durations. Using output data, a modified methacholine challenge protocol was applied for APS and compared with a standa...

Heart rate variability and baroreflex sensitivity in bilateral lung transplant recipients
Summary The effects of lung afferents denervation on cardiovascular regulation can be assessed on bilateral lung transplantation patients. The high‐frequency component of heart rate variability is known to be synchronous with breathing frequency. Then, if heart beat is neurally modulated by breathing frequency, we may expect disappearance of high frequency of heart rate variability in bilateral lung transplantation patients. On 11 patients and 11 matching healthy controls, we measured R‐R interval (electrocardiography), blood pressure (Portapres®) and breathing frequency (ultrasonic device) in supine rest, during 10...

Resistance exercise and episodic memory function: a  systematic review
ConclusionThe findings of this systematic review do not provide compelling evidence for a beneficial effect of acute or chronic resistance exercise on episodic memory function. Additional research in this under‐investigated field is warranted. (Source: Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging)

Blood flow restriction and cuff width: effect on blood flow in the legs
ConclusionAs long as relative pressures are applied, cuff width appears to have little to no effect on the blood flow stimulus during blood flow restriction at rest. (Source: Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging)

Aortic versus carotid intima ‐media thickness and impact of aortic valve disease
ConclusionsThe correlation between CIMT and AoIMT is weaker in patients with sAVD compared to those without sAVD. Pmean is also a significant predictor of AoIMT, but not of CIMT. This implies that, in addition to the atherosclerotic process, turbulent aortic flow or altered blood flow helicity created by large stroke volumes and diastolic flow reversal or high‐velocity jets, affect the intima‐media of the descending aorta and common carotid artery differently.

Reduced stroke distance of the left ventricular outflow tract is independently associated with long ‐term mortality, in patients hospitalized due to heart failure
ConclusionsStroke distance was associated with long‐term mortality, independently of other known echocardiographic prognostic factors in elderly patients hospitalized with heart failure. Only when stroke distance was excluded from analysis, LVEF became associated with mortality. Stroke distance had additive prognostic value. (Source: Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging)
