30 cm from heart level; CVAR), venoarteriolar response plus a decrease in perfusion pressure (venous occlusion by proximal cuff inflation; CVAR with DPP), and ischemia (arterial occlusion by proximal cuff inflation) and sweat...
1.0°C. Arm and leg SkBF (laser-Doppler flowmetry) was decreased by engaging the venoarteriolar response (limb lowered ~30 cm from heart level; CVAR), venoarteriolar response plus a decrease in perfusion pressure (venous...
Introduction: In 2012, approximately 19 million adults in the U.S. used some form of manipulative treatment as part of their overall healthcare. Suboccipital release (SOR) is a commonly used manual medicine technique of the...
Cold-induced vasodilation (CIVD) is a phenomenon involving a counterintuitive increase in skin blood flow during cold exposure. Although CIVD was first described in 1930, CIVD mechanisms remain unknown. CIVD research has...
Bradykinin, a local dermal kallikrein-kinin system product, increases skin blood flow via a cyclic GMP mechanism but is not the active cutaneous vasodilation molecule associated with cholinergic stimulation. However, the...
