Can tissue dielectric constant measurements assess circulating blood volume changes in patients undergoing haemodialysis?
ConclusionOur results indicate that TDC measurement can be used to assess the changes in local oedema, but may be unlikely to evaluate real‐time changes in the circulating blood volume in a clinical setting. (Source: Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging)

The role of long ‐term physical exercise on performance and brain activation during the Stroop colour word task in fibromyalgia patients
In this study, we used SCWT and functional magnetic resonance imagingFMRI to investigate the effects of a 15‐week physical exercise intervention on cognitive performance, task‐related cortical activation and distraction‐induced analgesia (DIA) in patients with fibromyalgia and healthy controls. The exercise intervention yielded reduced fibromyalgia symptoms, improved cognitive processing and increased task‐related activation of amygdala, but no effect on DIA. Our results suggest beneficial effects of physical exercise on cognitive functioning in FM. (Source: Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging)

Texture analysis of ultrasound images is a sensitive method to follow ‐up muscle damage induced by eccentric exercise
Summary The grey level of co‐occurrence matrix (GLCM) is a texture analysis approach accounting for spatial distribution of the pixels from an image and can be a promising method for exercise‐induced muscle damage (EIMD) studies. We followed up the time changes of two GLCM texture parameters and echo intensity (EI) on ultrasound images after eccentric contractions. Thirteen untrained women performed two sets of ten elbow flexions eccentric contractions. Ultrasound images were acquired at baseline and 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h after exercise. Two GLCM texture parameters were calculated for the brachialis muscle: con...

Intra ‐ and inter‐day reproducibility of low‐flow mediated constriction response in young adults
ConclusionVasoconstriction to low‐flow conditions influences the subsequent maximal dilation during reactive hyperaemia. However, L‐FMC is variable as evidenced by the weak intra‐ and interday reproducibility of the measure. Further research should study brachial L‐FMC reproducibility among varying populations and the implications L‐FMC has on the interpretation of FMD results.

Comparison of cardiac output estimates by bioreactance and inert gas rebreathing methods during cardiopulmonary exercise testing
ConclusionBioreactance and inert gas rebreathing methods show acceptable levels of agreement for estimating cardiac output at higher levels of metabolic demand. However, they cannot be used interchangeably due to strong disparity in results at rest and low‐to‐moderate exercise intensity. (Source: Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging)
