Radial artery pulse wave velocity: a new characterization technique and the instabilities associated with the respiratory phase and breath-holding.

. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a key diagnostic parameter of the cardiovascular system's state. However, approaches aimed at PWV characterization often suffer from inevitable drawbacks.

Infrared Thermography as a Powerful, Versatile, and Elegant Research Tool in Chemistry: Principles and Application to Catalysis and Adsorption.

In this Review, diverse chemical problems that have been approached by means of infrared thermography (IRT) are covered in depth. Moreover, some novel steps forward in this field are made, described and discussed. Namely, the latest-generation IRT performance capabilities are harnessed in full; the initial phase of catalytic CO oxidation (called "fast ignition") is presented at the 0.

A Novel High-Resolution Method for the Respiration Rate and Breathing Waveforms Remote Monitoring.

A search for robust noninvasive methods permitting to discern the respiration subtle peculiarities in mammals is a topical issue. A novel approach called "sorption-enhanced infrared thermography" (SEIRT), helping to solve this problem, is described. Its benefits spring from the integration of the infrared thermography (IRT) and chemical physics (phase transition heat release/absorption) within a single method.

Thermographic imaging in sports and exercise medicine: A Delphi study and consensus statement on the measurement of human skin temperature.

The importance of using infrared thermography (IRT) to assess skin temperature (t) is increasing in clinical settings. Recently, its use has been increasing in sports and exercise medicine; however, no consensus guideline exists to address the methods for collecting data in such situations. The aim of this study was to develop a checklist for the collection of t using IRT in sports and exercise medicine.

Lasers and infrared thermography: advantageous cooperation.

In a brief review, the beneficial outcomes that have arisen from simultaneous use of laser- and infrared thermography (IRT)-based techniques are demonstrated. The most recent literary and original experimental results collected from different research and practical areas are presented. It is shown that modern IRT acts as an indispensable laser partner in various biomedical and many other applications and technologies.

Systemic vascular response to brachial arteries crossclamping may prognosticate the outcome of remote ischemic preconditioning.

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a recent trend in cardiovascular medicine. From the literature, it may be deduced that physiological changes resulted from repeated episodes of brachial-cuff inflation/deflation during RIPC provoke, in some way, systemic "training" of the whole organism. At the same time, the effectiveness of such a "training" is substantially different in different humans, and the latter remains unclear.

FPA-based infrared thermography as applied to the study of cutaneous perspiration and stimulated vascular response in humans.

This review gives an overview of focal plane array (FPA)-based infrared (IR) thermography as a powerful research method in the field of physiology and medicine. Comparison of the gained results with the data previously obtained by other authors with other research tools is given. Outer thermoregulatory manifestations displayed by the human organism subjected to whole-body heating (sauna bath) and physical loads (exercise bicycling) are quantitatively analysed.
