Abstract
We identified 433 dippers and 230 subjects with a nocturnal non-dipping pattern. Nocturnal SBP dipping was independently of office SBP associated with decreased PWV (p = 0.008), lower ACR (p = 0.001) and NT-proBNP (p = 0.001) and increased GFR (p<0.001).
We conclude that diurnal BP v...

Abstract
Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) were measured as level/phase (L/P) maps in humans, rabbits, chinchillas, and rats with and without an interference tone (IT) placed either near the 2f(1)-f(2) DPOAE frequency place (f(dp)) or at one-third of an octave above the f(2) primary tone (1/3-...

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes anorectal problems, whose pathophysiology remains poorly characterized. A comprehensive method of evaluating spino-anorectal function is lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate the neuropathophysiology of bowel dysfunction in SCI by evaluating motor-evoked po...

Abstract
We developed a novel scoring system for anal sphincter tone using a scale of 0 to 5 for both resting pressure and squeeze pressure. The score ranges from 0 = no discernable pressure to 5 = extremely tight and 3 = normal. We hypothesized that the digital rectal examination scoring system (DRESS) scor...

Hyperglycemia had no effect on duodenal pressure waves or flow events during the 60 min of intraduodenal glucose infusion, when compared to euglycemia. During hyperglycemia, there was an increase in plasma GIP (P<0.05) and 14C-3-OMG (P<0.05) but no effect on GLP-1 concentrations in response to the i...

Augmentation index (AIx), a marker of the number of aortic wave reflections (AWRs), is influenced not only by the magnitude of incident and reflected pressure waves but also by the time of return.
