Impact and management of iron corrosion by-products on drinking water quality in distribution systems
(2014-03-24)Cast iron pipes were installed broadly in North American water utilities. Many of these cast iron pipes are corroded and are continuous sources of Fe(II) ions in drinking water distribution systems. Recent studies have ... -
The Impact of a 12-week High-Intensity Interval Training Program on Popliteal Vascular Responses to Prolonged Sitting
(2023-08-09)Prolonged, uninterrupted sitting (≥1-h) impairs lower-limb flow-mediated dilation (FMD), nitroglycerin-mediated dilation (NMD), and resistance vessel responses. The benefits of regular aerobic exercise on vascular health ... -
The Impact of a 12-week High-Intensity Interval Training Program on Sympathetic Transduction in Healthy Adults: A Pilot Project.
(2022-07-18)Peak pressor responses (i.e., sympathetic transduction) following bursts of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) are inversely related to peak oxygen consumption (V̇O2peak) in younger males, but not females. However, ... -
The impact of a 9-month sedentary behaviour reduction intervention on frailty and brachial artery health: A feasibility study
(2023-08-23)Many adults engage in excessive amounts of sedentary time (ST; sitting/lying while awake), which increases frailty and cardiovascular disease risk. However, there is limited evidence evaluating whether long-term sedentary ... -
THE IMPACT OF AGE AND FRAILTY ON CARDIAC FUNCTION IN HEALTH AND DISEASE CONDITIONS IN NATURALLY AGEING MICE
(2019-11-28)Frail people with cardiovascular disease experience worse outcomes and higher mortality than non-frail patients, but the links between frailty and myocardial function are unclear. Frailty was quantified as deficit accumulation ... -
The Impact of Age and Frailty on the Fischer-344 Rat Heart
(2017-05-11)The purpose of this study was to develop a frailty index (FI) for rats, and characterize the impact of age and frailty on cardiac parameters at baseline and following cardioplegic arrest. Data on survival and 45 variables ... -
The Impact of Aging and Ovariectomy on Cardiac Contractile Function in Isolated Ventricular Myocytes
(2012-08-28)Previous studies have shown that cardiac contractile function declines with age in ventricular myocytes from 24 month old males but not females. As estrogen modulates cardiac contractile function, age-dependent changes ... -
