(4) Examining the baroreceptor reflex during the early and late phases of BPV is quite compelling ... (5) Figure 3B shows a drop in HR when the pump is ON irrespective of treatment (i.e., independent ...

This is an important study providing convincing evidence that increased blood pressure variability impairs myogenic tone and diminishes baroreceptor reflex. The study also provides evidence that blood ...

A reflex is an automatic body movement that happens involuntarily in response to a stimulus. Healthcare providers sometimes test a person's reflexes as part of a routine or diagnostic exam. Overactive ...

The gastrocolic reflex is a physiological reflex that stimulates movement in your lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract after eating. It isn’t a disease or medical condition, but rather a normal response ...

Defense mechanisms are rooted in Freud’s theory of personality.According to his model, the mind has three dueling forces: the id (unconscious and primitive urges for food, comfort, and sex), the ...

More basic and clinical studies should be performed to develop safer and more effective ones as well as clarifying their mechanisms and optimizing the stimulation parameters for patients with VAs in ...

Clinical diagnosis of spasticity is based on the combination of physical signs in relaxed patients—ie, exaggerated tendon reflexes and muscle hypertonia defined as a velocity-dependent resistance of a ...

A catalytic mechanism is the sequence of elementary reactions by which a catalytic reaction proceeds. The behaviour of nanoconfined water can be very different from that of the bulk and is ...

The palmomental reflex, an involuntary contraction of the mentalis muscle of the chin caused by stimulation of the thenar eminence, can be tested easily and rapidly. Its presence may alert the ...

The international team describes their results and the underlying molecular mechanism in Cell Metabolism. Ergothioneine is a natural compound found in certain fungi such as oyster or shiitake ...
