Results of an experiment are presented whose aim is to explore the relationship between respiration and cerebral oxygenation. Measurements of end tidal CO2 (EtCO2) were taken simultaneously with cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) using the…
Among the major factors controlling the cerebral blood flow (CBF) - cerebral perfusion pressure, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), cerebral metabolism, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), and cardiac output, the…
Cerebral arterial blood flow (CABF) can be investigated in few seconds without any synchronization by Real-Time phase contrast. Significant changes in CABF were found between expiration and inspiration during normal breathing of healthy…
The fundamentals of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) are reviewed. Among the major factors controlling the cerebral blood flow (CBF), the effect of PaCO2 is peculiar in that it violates autoregulatory CBF mechanisms and allows to explore…
Among the major factors controlling the cerebral blood flow (CBF), the effect of PaCO2 is peculiar in that it violates autoregulatory CBF mechanisms and allows to explore the full range of the CBF. This research resulted in a simple…
It is shown that the dependence of the cerebral blood flow (CBF) on mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) can be described with a simple model having the following assumptions. Below certain MABP (denoted as MABP1) there are no autoregulatory…
The human brain constitutes 2% of the total body mass, but consumes 20% of the oxygen. The rate of the brain's oxygen utilization can be determined from the knowledge of cerebral blood flow and oxygen extraction fraction (OEF). Therefore,…
A novel approach is adopted to model cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow in human perivascular spaces (PVSs) surrounding brain-penetrating arteries. It is proposed that the outer PVS boundary oscillates due to brain pulsations and the arterial…
We investigate the relationship between the blood flow velocities (BFV) in the middle cerebral arteries and beat-to-beat blood pressure (BP) recorded from a finger in healthy and post-stroke subjects during the quasi-steady state after…
Cerebral autoregulation (CA) is a fundamental mechanism that modulates cerebrovascular resistance, primarily by regulating the diameter of small cerebral vessels to maintain stable cerebral blood flow (CBF) in response to fluctuations in…
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of dementia and cognitive decline, independent of strokes. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this association, but altered cerebral blood flow dynamics during AF…
It is still debated how breathing interacts with the CSF. New Phase contrast MRI sequence based on Echo Planar imaging (EPI-PC) can now produce continuously during minutes a velocity map, more or less every 100 ms. We did not found in the…
Neurofeedback is a form of brain training in which subjects are fed back information about some measure of their brain activity which they are instructed to modify in a way thought to be functionally advantageous. Over the last twenty…
Physical exercise has significant benefits for humans in improving the health and quality of their lives, by improving the functional performance of their cardiovascular and respiratory systems. However, it is very important to control the…
This study investigates the hemodynamic behavior of blood flow in the aortic arch across anemic, diabetic, and healthy conditions using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations with a non-Newtonian Carreau viscosity model. Velocity…
Context. Computer workers in general, and software developers specifically, are under a high amount of stress due to continuous deadlines and, often, over-commitment. Objective. This study investigates the effects of a neuroplasticity…
IoT-based devices and wearable sensors are now common in daily life, with smartwatches, smartphones, and other digital tools tracking physical activity and health data. This lifelogging process provides valuable insights into people's…
Maintaining cerebral blood flow is critical for adequate neuronal function. Previous computational models of brain capillary networks have predicted that heterogeneous cerebral capillary flow patterns result in lower brain tissue partial…
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with cognitive impairment/dementia, independently of clinical cerebrovascular events (stroke/TIA). One of the plausible mechanisms is the occurrence of AF-induced transient critical hemodynamic events;…
Classification of cognitive workload promises immense benefit in diverse areas ranging from driver safety to augmenting human capability through closed loop brain computer interface. The brain is the most metabolically active organ in the…
