Prcis: Trabeculectomy can effectively reduce posture-induced changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate posture-induced changes in IOP after trabeculectomy in patients with medically uncontrolled POAG.
Design: This was a prospective, consecutive study.
Methods: Thirty-seven eyes of 37 patients with POAG were included. IOP was measured before trabeculectomy and 1, 2, 3, and 6 months postoperatively with patients in the sitting position, supine position, and lateral decubitus position (LDP) sequentially using iCare IC200 rebound tonometry. In the LDP, the eye scheduled for trabeculectomy was in the dependent position, the contralateral unoperated eye was a control eye. The central corneal thickness, axial length, and anterior chamber depth were measured using partial coherence interferometry.
Results: In the sitting, supine, and LDP, the IOP was significantly reduced at every time point during the follow-up. Although the posture-induced changes in IOP persisted during the follow-up, the range of IOP changes in the sitting and supine positions, sitting and LDP, and the supine and LDP were significantly reduced after than before trabeculectomy. The central corneal thickness did not change significantly after trabeculectomy.
Conclusion: Trabeculectomy can effectively reduce posture-induced changes in IOP in patients with POAG.

High variability in the reproducibility of key hemodynamic responses to head-up tilt.

Increased blood pressure upon standing is considered a cardiovascular risk factor. We investigated the reproducibility of changes in aortic blood pressure, heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, and systemic vascular resistance during three passive head-up tilts (HUT) in 223 participants without cardiovascular medications (mean age 46 years, BMI 28 kg/m2, 54% male). Median time gap between the first and the second HUT was 9 weeks and the second and the third HUT 4 weeks.

Background: There is a physiological association of the neck movements and jaw and tongue movements. However, there are no previous data regarding the performance of the tongue when the neck is under a lack of movement condition.
Objective: To quantify the tongue's maximal strength and mobility under an experimental restriction of cervical mobility.

Background Investigating changes in brain electroencephalogram activity during blood pressure measurement in sitting and standing positions is clinically significant for understanding the neural correlates of postural changes, which may affect cerebral perfusion and autonomic regulation. Shifts in blood pressure can influence visual cortical activity, potentially altering cognitive and sensory processing. This research holds clinical relevance in evaluating disorders like orthostatic hypotension and syncope, where postural changes compromise cerebral blood flow.

Despite evidence on trunk flexion's impact on locomotion mechanics, its role in modulating lower-limb energetics during perturbed running remains underexplored. Therefore, we investigated posture-induced power redistribution in the lower-limb joints (hip, knee, and ankle), along with the relative contribution from each joint to total lower-limb average positive and negative mechanical powers (i.e.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine posture-induced changes in arterial blood pressure (ABP), intraocular pressure (IOP), orbital pressure (Porb), intracranial pressure (ICP), and jugular vein pressure (JVP) at various tilt angles in an in vivo pig.
Methods: Anesthetized and ventilated pigs (n = 8) were placed prone on a tiltable operating table. ABP, IOP, Porb, ICP, and JVP were monitored while the table was tilted at various angles between 15 degrees head up tilt (HUT) and 25 degrees head down tilt (HDT) either in stepwise changes (5 degrees per step) or continuously.
