Citation: Bernstein LH. Insights in Blood Pressure. Insights Blood Press 2015, 1:1. A review of the physiology of blood pressure and the pathogenesis of hypertension (or of hypotension) can be a very large undertaking, considering the vast literature only in the last half century. The main considerations to be taken into account are: disease comorbidities, the heart, kidney and arterial vascula...

Adv Physiol Educ 37: 254–263, 2013; doi:10.1152/advan.00172.2012.—Digestive physiology laboratory exercises often explore the regulation of enzyme action rather than systems physiology. This laboratory exercise provides a systems approach to di...

Maintenance of neonatal circulatory homeostasis is a real challenge, due to the complex physiology during postnatal transition and the inherent immaturity of the cardiovascular system and other relevant organs. It is known that abnormal cardiovascular function during the neonatal period is associated with increased risk of severe morbidity and mortality. Understanding the functional and structu...

Positron emission tomography (PET) with [(18)F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is an established clinical tool primarily used to diagnose and evaluate disease status in patients with cancer. PET imaging using FDG can be a highly valuable tool to investigate normal human physiology by providing a noninvasive, quantitative measure of glucose uptake into various cell types. Over the past years it has al...
