Scientists and clinicians interested in cerebrovascular physiology in humans now have numerous possibilities to monitor, invasively or non-invasively, the oxygenation status of cerebral tissue. Monitoring cerebral oxygenation has several utilities; to improve patient outcome, to better understand the mechanisms underlying orthostatic hypotension; to provide insight into functional neurovascular coupling; to evaluate the influence of vasopressors on cerebral oxygen levels in patients under anesthesia; and to study the limitations of exercise tolerance. This themed research topic, through theoretical and experimental papers, covers new and exciting issues related to the study of cerebral oxygenation in health and disease. This e-book includes manuscripts inclusive of original research, methodologies and reviews in the field of integrative physiology, cognitive testing, orthostatic stress, exercise physiology and anesthesia.
This volume in the Handbook of Sports Medicine and Science series delivers up-to-date scientific knowledge alongside practical applications in rowing, making it an invaluable resource for researchers, coaches and rowers of all abilities. Published under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee, in collaboration with the International Rowing Federation (FISA), Rowing: Provides key knowledge of the historical, nutritional and psychological aspects of rowing Offers ground-breaking physiological insights which can help shape future training methodologies Features a rowing periodization plan to help trainers and athletes create comprehensive and effective training programs, racing plans and tactics. Rowing brings together internationally renowned experts with experience in competitive rowing and sports medicine, making this the complete handbook of medicine, science and practice in rowing.
Hopefully, this book will be taken off of the shelf frequently to be studied carefully over many years. More than 40 researchers were involved in this project, which examines respiration, circulation, and metabolism from ?sh to the land vertebrates, including human beings. A breathable and stable atmosphere ?rst appeared about 500 million years ago. Oxygen levels are not stable in aquatic environments and exclusively water-breathing ?sh must still cope with the ever-changing levels of O 2 and with large temperature changes. This is re?ected in their sophisticated count- current systems, with high O extraction and internal and external O receptors. 2 2 The conquest for the terrestrial environ...

Explores the functioning cardiovascular system from an integrative viewpoint. Includes both historical developments and recent findings on the diverse aspects of cardiovascular function. Provides a conceptual framework for understanding cardiovascular function in health, as well as analysis of altered cardiovascular control during illness or under various physical and environmental conditions. Topics are presented from a basic science perspective with relevant implactions for clinical and applied settings offered.
A key factor in the treatment of the traumatized patients is the amount of blood lost since injury. This is relevant not simply from the point of view of transfusing blood but also in the body's response to the shock of blood loss. This book provides a framework for the understanding of the complex clinical effects of blood loss and outlines strategies for treatment in the trauma unit or intensive therapy unit. The international editorship and clinical research approach make this a unique, comprehensive and authoritative text which will be of use to everybody working in this field.
Well illustrated with figures and photos, this text brings together leading authorities in exercise physiology to help readers understand the research findings and meet the most prominent professionals in the field.
