Article Abstract
Glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone implicated in several metabolic and neurological disorders. GLP-1 induces vasodilation and increases blood flow in the peripheral circulation. Whether GLP-1 alters cerebral hemodynamics in humans is yet to be elucidated. In a crossover, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and randomized design, 21 healthy volunteers were assigned to receive intravenous GLP-1 infusion (2.5 pmol/kg/min) or placebo over 20 min on two different days separated by at least one week. We used a noninvasive, well-validated transcranial doppler (TCD) and ultrasound dermascan to reveal the effect of GLP-1 on intra- and extracerebral arteries. The mean blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery (V), the diameter of the superficial temporal artery (STA) and radial artery (RA), and facial skin blood flow were measured. In addition, we documented headache and its associated symptoms during and after infusion. Twenty participants were included in the final analysis. We found no difference in the V (P = 0.227), diameter of the STA (P = 0.096) and the RA (P = 0.221) and facial blood flow (P = 0.814) after GLP-1 compared to placebo. There were no differences in HR, SAT, EtCO, or RF (P > 0.05) on the GLP-1 day compared to the placebo day. We found no differences in the incidence of headache after GLP-1 (n = 10) compared to placebo (n = 7) (P = 0.250). GLP-1 infusion did not affect cerebral hemodynamics and induce headache in humans. Further preclinical studies with validated methods are required to determine if intra - and extracerebral vasculature express GLP-1Rs in humans.

Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) is a crucial mechanism causing vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). Choline is metabolized by gut microbiota into trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a risk factor of cardiovascular diseases and cognitive impairment. However, the impact of choline-TMAO pathway on CCH-induced VCI is elusive.

This study presents the first in vivo measurement of transcytolemmal water exchange in the brain using a novel Magnetic Resonance technique. We extend previous applications of Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) to examine water exchange across cellular membranes in late-stage chicken embryo brains. The immature blood-brain barrier at this stage allows Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents (GBCAs) to penetrate the brain's interstitial space, sensitizing the CEST effect to water exchange between intra- and extracellular environments.

Unlabelled: Lymphedema is a chronic disabling disease that affects 250 million people worldwide. To this date, it has been proven that treatment of this category of patients should be truly integrated - combining surgical, therapeutic methods and recovery procedures.
Objective: To study the influence of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) on microvasculature in patients with lymphedema of the lower extremities.

Unlabelled: One of the most probable and controversial hypotheses regarding the etiology of essential arterial hypertension, is the increase in arterial pressure due to intracranial ischemia, for various reasons, particularly because of cervical osteochondrosis. The daily arterial blood pressure dynamics is of interest when attempting non-pharmacological induced correction of arterial pressure by manual and physical effects on the cervical spine.
Objective: To evaluate daily arterial pressure dynamics in patients with essential arterial hypertension who received non-pharmacological treatment by manual-physical action on the cervical spine (A.

Unlabelled: Essential arterial hypertension (EAH) is a chronic non-communicable disease (CNCD), that develops in parallel with other pathologies of the CNCD group, the presence of which is promoted by hypodynamia with consequent disturbance of aerobic energy supply processes. These disorders include, in particular, degenerative-dystrophic processes of the locomotor system, comprising of the cervical spine. In turn, development of these processes can additionally worsen hemodynamics with disturbance of the oxygen transfer processes.
