Effect of On-Duty Resistance Training Fatigue on Neuromuscular Function in Structural Firefighters Open
Background: Participation in on-duty exercise is critical to enhance firefighter safety and readiness. However, these sessions are often interrupted with emergency responses and require firefighters to work in a fatigued state that may inc…

Counseling Intervention and Cardiovascular Events in People With Peripheral Artery Disease Open
Importance It is unclear whether counseling to promote walking reduces the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Objective To test whether a counseling intervention designed to i…

The drug disposition in the Spleen: A novel study of CYP and UGT-mediated drug metabolism Open
Understanding the fate of a drug, its disposition and pharmacokinetics as it reaches the site of action is key to any pharmaceutical research and development. The emerging role of the spleen in its involvement in regulating the immune syst…

Arterial stiffness during whole‐body passive heat stress in healthy older adults Open
We tested the hypothesis that whole-body passive heat stress reduces arterial stiffness in older adults. At preheat stress (baseline) and when core temperature was elevated by 0.6 ± 0.2°C (mild) and 1.2 ± 0.3°C (moderate), arterial stiffne…

Role of Corin in Blood Pressure Regulation in Normotensive and Hypertensive Pregnancy Open
Corin (an atrial natriuretic peptide–converting enzyme) represents a potential biomarker for gestational hypertensive disorders; yet, its role in blood pressure (BP) regulation throughout pregnancy remains unclear. We investigated the time…

Physical, Physiological, and Dietary Comparisons Between Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command Critical Skills Operators and Enablers Open
MARSOC CSOs demonstrated significantly greater FFMI, AP, AC, VO2max, KF, KE, TE, and TF compared with enablers. Dietary intake was consistent between groups, but fueling concerns were identified for all personnel in the subgroup. These fin…

Long-term effects of a renin inhibitor versus a thiazide diuretic on arterial stiffness and left ventricular diastolic function in elderly hypertensive patients Open
Arterial stiffness and cardiac function are important predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with hypertension, even with adequate blood pressure (BP) control. We evaluated whether a direct renin inhibitor, aliskiren, reduces arte…

Sympathetic Neural and Hemodynamic Responses During Cold Pressor Test in Elderly Blacks and Whites Open
The sympathetic response during the cold pressor test (CPT) has been reported to be greater in young blacks than whites, especially in those with a family history of hypertension. Because blood pressure (BP) increases with age, we evaluate…

A Box Lift and Place Assessment is Related to Performance of Several Military Manual Handling Tasks Open
Soldiers undergo regular physical testing to assess their functional capacity. However, current physical tests, such as push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups, do not necessarily assess job-specific physical capability. This article assesses the …
