Capillary blood flow and transcapillary exchange.

Skin capillary blood flow in scleroderma.

Skin blood flow was measured by the clearance of radioactive xenon ((133)Xe) injected intracutaneously in eight patients with scleroderma and nine control subjects under conditions of controlled temperature and humidity. Scleroderma patients, on being cooled 1 hr at 18 degrees C, had a rate constant of (133)Xe clearance from the dorsal finger skin which was 0.04 +/-0.07 min(-1) (mean +/-SD), co...

Retinal Capillary Blood Flow Impaired Increase of Retinal Capillary Blood Flow to Flicker Light Exposure in Arterial Hypertension

We hypothesized that the increase of retinal capillary blood flow (RCF) to flicker light exposure is impaired in subjects with arterial hypertension. In 146 nondiabetic untreated male subjects with (n 50) or without (n 96) arterial hypertension, RCF was measured before and after flicker light exposure noninvasively and in vivo using scanning laser Doppler flowmetry. In addition, in a subgroup o...
