Background. The pig has become an increasingly popular model for the study of cerebral
protection during cardiothoracic surgery in recent years, but little information is available …

Capillaries recruit when pulmonary arterial pressure rises. The duration of increased
pressure imposed in such experiments is usually on the order of minutes, although recent …

Background—The application of ultrasound to microbubbles in skeletal muscle creates
capillary ruptures. We tested the hypothesis that this bioeffect could be used to stimulate the …

Background—Although humans and swine with hibernating myocardium have an increased
risk of sudden death, the contribution of chronic alterations in sympathetic nerve function is …

Objective: To determine whether collateral artery development is impaired in spontaneously
hypertensive (SHR) relative to normotensive (WKY) rats. Methods: Sequential mesenteric …

We aimed to assess the influence of lateral decubitus postures and positive end-expiratory
pressure (PEEP) on the regional distribution of ventilation and perfusion. We measured …

We tested the hypothesis that an acute critical limitation in coronary flow reserve could
rapidly recapitulate the physiological, molecular, and morphological phenotype of …

In the heart, in situ local myocardial blood flow (MBF) varies greater than 10‐fold between
individual areas and displays a spatially heterogeneous pattern. To analyze its molecular …

The mammalian diaphragm is composed of two separate muscles (costal and crural)
connected by a central tendon that serves as a piston head for drawing air into the lungs …
