Immune activation in patients with admission blood pressure above 185/110 mm Hg in acute ischemic stroke
DownloadFall 2021
Background: An admission blood pressure over 185/110 mm Hg is associated with increased risk of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA)-related hemorrhagic transformation (HT). Stroke guidelines recommend blood pressure (BP) above 185/110 mm Hg be lowered before r-tPA treatment. How high...

Role of Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) in Hypertension and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
DownloadFall 2018
Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular complications such as stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and renal failure, and therefore is an enormous healthcare burden worldwide. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is an essential regulator of blood pressure homeostasis, and...

Skeletal Muscle Sympathetic Vasoconstrictor Control Following Short-Term Mild- and Heavy-Intensity Exercise Training
DownloadFall 2013
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the effects of short-term endurance exercise training (ET) on sympathetic vasoconstriction in resting and contracting skeletal muscle. To achieve these aims, rats were exercise trained on a motorized treadmill and an anesthetised whole animal in situ...

The effect of aerobic fitness on the cardiovascular and sympathetic nervous system response to physiological stress at rest and during dynamic exercise
DownloadFall 2012
A cardio-protective adaptation associated with aerobic fitness may be an attenuated sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and cardiovascular response to stress. The hypothesis that the cardiovascular and SNS responses to physiological stress at rest and during exercise would be a function of...

The effect of eight weeks of home based aerobic exercise training on peak exercise oxygen consumption, six-minute walk test distance, thigh muscle mass, and health related quality of life in Child Pugh class A and B cirrhosis patients
DownloadFall 2017
Purpose: Cirrhosis patients have reduced peak aerobic power (peak VO2) that is associated with reduced survival. Supervised endurance training is an effective therapy to increase exercise tolerance in cirrhosis. The effect of home-based endurance exercise training (HET) on improving peak VO2 in...

Spring 2022
Background: Carbon monoxide alters cardiovascular function through its actions as a signaling molecule and by limiting oxygen delivery in the blood, favouring pro-dilatory and anti-constrictor effects within the vasculature. The impacts of mild carbon monoxide exposure on vascular responses to...
