The reactions of microcirculation parameters of symmetrical areas of the human head to hypoxic loads were studied. The study was conducted in 10 healthy male volunteers aged 18-19 years. Short-term hypoxia was modeled using a ReOxy Cardio normobaric device (S. A. Aimediq). Synchronous measurements of microcirculation parameters in symmetrical temporal regions of the head at the basal state and immediately after short-term hypoxic exposure were carried out by the method of laser Doppler flowmetry. We evaluated statistical characteristics of perfusion of both sides, as well as regression characteristics of the relationship between changes in the microcirculation parameters and the initial values of these parameters. It was shown that the reaction of the microcirculation parameters in symmetrical regions of the head to hypoxia depends on the initial microcirculation parameters in ipsi- and contralateral sides. 3D graphs were constructed and regression equations describing these relationships were formulated. A new method of geometric sensing is proposed, which allows predicting the direction of reactions to hypoxic effects. The obtained data illustrate the specificity of regulation of microcirculation of paired organs determined by the presence of functional asymmetry. A new method of geometric zoning is proposed, which allows solving the problems of personalized assessments of the state of the microcirculation system in patients.

Background: The pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying early-onset myopia remain unclear; in this study, we investigate the pathogenesis by examining the interrelationships between axial length to corneal curvature radius ratio ( ) and choroidal blood flow.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 202 eyes from myopic children, categorized into 141 eyes with mild myopia, 47 eyes with moderate myopia, and 14 eyes with high myopia. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) was used to measure choroidal blood flow perfusion within a 6 mm × 6 mm area of the macular region, divided into nine subareas based on ETDRS partitioning: macular fovea, nasal side 1, superior 1, temporal side 1, inferior 1, nasal side 2, superior 2, temporal side 2, and inferior 2.
Objective: To analyze the dynamics of the condition of the mucous membrane in patients with metabolic syndrome at the stage of preparation for dental prosthetics using dental implants.
Material And Methods: 255 patients (151 women and 104 men) aged from 35 to 65 years were examined. 3 groups were formed: 2 study groups and a comparison group.

Myocardial microcirculation in athletes and its relationship with cardiac remodeling (CR) and myocardial fibrosis (MF) are not fully understood. We prospectively enrolled 174 athletes and 54 healthy sedentary controls for intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted imaging of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Athletes exhibited significantly lower fast apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and perfusion fraction (f) in 16 myocardial segments and each blood supply area compared to controls ( < 0.

Aim: To assess transmural remission in patients with Crohn's disease using low-dose small bowel computed tomography (CT) perfusion scans.
Materials And Methods: Forty six patients were divided into active and remission phases based on Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) and C-reactive protein (CRP). Dual-source CT enterography with low-dose perfusion scans was conducted to generate perfusion parameter maps, including blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), time to peak (TTP), mean transit time (MTT), and permeability of surface (PS).

Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death, and psychosocial stress is considered a contributing factor to these issues. With the rising number of heart surgeries, proper rehabilitation post-surgery is essential. Previous studies have demonstrated the positive impact of yoga and transcendental meditation on the cardiovascular system.
