Introduction: Following a period of blood flow occlusion, the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-derived reperfusion slope of the oxygen saturation signal (StO) is a measure of microvascular responsiveness that has been shown to be positively correlated with flow-mediated dilation (FMD) assessment of conduit artery function in the lower limb vasculature. Given that previously established differences in structure and function of the vessels in the upper compared to the lower limbs may change this relationship, investigating whether this correlation between the reperfusion slope of the StO and the FMD response is maintained in upper limbs is important. Accordingly, this study investigated the correlation between the reperfusion slope of the StO and FMD in the arm vasculature.
Methods: 18 physically active individuals were submitted to a vascular occlusion test (VOT). Microvascular responsiveness was calculated as the NIRS-derived reperfusion slope assessed in a forearm muscle. Macrovascular responsiveness was assessed at the brachial artery and calculated as a percent of change in FMD (%FMD).
Results: A statistically significant correlation (r = 0.66; P = 0.001) was found between the reperfusion slope and %FMD response.
Conclusion: The significant correlation between the reperfusion slope in the forearm muscle and %FMD in the brachial artery, reinforces the relationship between downstream and upstream vascular reactivity in healthy human limbs.

Cytokine Adsorption During Ex Vivo Blood Perfusion Improves Contractility of Donation After Circulatory Death Hearts.

Article Synopsis
- DCD hearts often suffer from ischemia/reperfusion injury due to inflammatory cytokines, which can hurt their contractility, but using cytokine adsorption during blood perfusion could help reduce these cytokines and enhance heart function.
- In the study, porcine DCD hearts were perfused with and without a cytokine adsorber called CytoSorb for 4 hours and then analyzed for heart performance and cytokine levels; those with CytoSorb showed significantly better contractility and lower inflammatory markers.
- Findings indicate that using CytoSorb not only improved heart function at first but also led to beneficial changes in myocardial pathways, suggesting its potential to optimize

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.

Ischemic stroke often leads to cognitive dysfunction, which delays the recovery process of patients. However, its pathogenesis is not yet clear. In this study, the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model was built as the experimental object, and the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) was the target brain area.

Ischemic Preconditioning (IPC) has emerged as a promising approach to mitigate the impact of hypoxia on physiological functions. However, the heterogeneity of occlusion pressures for inducing arterial occlusion has led to inconsistent hemodynamic outcomes across studies. This study aims to evaluate the peripheral hemodynamic responses to partial and total blood-flow occlusions on the left arm at rest, using absolute or individualized pressures, on two occasions.
