The Doppler examination of the fetal and uteroplacental blood flow established that the mean velocity of the blood flow in the fetal aorta was 32.46 +/- 2.13 cm/s, in the arcuate artery--60.46 +/- 10.75 cm/s, in the umbilical artery--33.54 +/- 7.14 cm/s, but in the umbilical vena--15.83 +/- 1.00 cm/s. It was indicated that the volume of the blood flow of the fetal aorta in ml/min was increased with advancement of the gestational age, but it remained relatively constant during pregnancy when it was estimated in ml/min/kg. The characteristic of Doppler wave of the fetal aorta as well as of the umbilical artery and arcuate artery were analysed. It is pointed out that the Doppler examination of the fetal and uteroplacental blood flow is a new, noninvasive, valuable and objective method in the diagnosis of the fetal state.

Introduction: Preclinical studies have shown that oxygen therapy can improve ischaemic brain tissue oxygen tension, reduce reperfusion injury after revascularisation, promote neuroregeneration and inhibit inflammatory responses potentially exerting a beneficial effect after endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with acute ischaemic stroke (AIS). However, the optimal fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO) during EVT under general anaesthesia is currently unknown. Therefore, we are conducting a randomised controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the impact of high-concentration oxygen vs low-concentration normobaric oxygen on early neurological function after EVT.

Background: Sarcopenia is an age-related, progressive, and systemic skeletal muscle disorder that can lead to numerous adverse outcomes. Animal studies have shown that sesame can enhance skeletal muscle blood flow and improve physical performance. However, no studies have yet explored the association between sesame consumption and the incidence of sarcopenia in the general population.

Laser speckle flowmetry (LSF) is a noninvasive tool for cerebral blood flow (CBF) measurement via a cranial bone window. LSF is influenced by various factors including the extent of removal of bone and dura mater and tissue wetness in the bone window. In this study, we aimed to characterize the effect of these conditions on LSF signals and identify optimal measurement conditions for CBF LSF measurements in rats.

Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP) enhances the synthesis of endogenous hydrogen sulfide, a potent regulator of cell metabolism. We used 24-month-old rats to investigate the PLP mitoprotective function in the aging heart. We demonstrated improvement of mitochondrial bioenergetic functions, inhibition of mPTP opening after PLP administration.
