Severe vitamin D (vitD) deficiency is a very common condition in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and it is predictor of poor prognosis. There is emerging evidence suggesting a connection between the insufficient response to phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE5i) and vitD deficiency in patients with PAH. In the present translational study, vitD deficiency was induced in Wistar rats by exposure to vitD free diet for 5 weeks and followed by Su5416 administration and hypoxia (10%) for 3 weeks, a standard experimental model of PAH.

Purpose: Bypass surgery is regarded as the standard treatment option for symptomatic and hemodynamically unstable moyamoya disease (MMD). However, there is ongoing debate about the most effective type of bypass surgery. We aimed to analyze the long-term outcomes of combined and indirect bypasses for MMD patients through intra-individual comparisons.

Background And Aims: Identifying the haemodynamic mechanism of autonomic syncope is the essential pre-requisite for effective and personalized therapy aimed at preventing recurrences. The present study assessed the diagnostic efficacy of a two-step assessment.
Methods: Multicentre prospective, cross-sectional, observational study.
Background: Hemodynamic signals are the basis of functional brain imaging techniques, such as fMRI and NIRS, and are often used to infer changes in resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias. Increasing evidence suggests that disruption of neuronal circuits has been associated with the AD continuum and may precede changes in Ab and tau biomarkers, neurodegeneration, and cognitive impairment. To better understand the changes in brain RSFC through the AD spectrum, we use hemodynamic signals to detect disease onset, progression, and response to therapy in a mouse model of AD.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia worldwide and vascular dysfunction represents one of the first abnormalities in AD spectrum. Brain imaging techniques that use changes in hemodynamic signals to measure alterations in neurovascular coupling (NVC) have proven useful for early detection of cognitive deterioration. Pharmacological interventions targeting vascular risk factors, including simvastatin (SV), show promise in preventing dementia.
