Adrenomedullin and elements of orthostatic competence after 41 h of voluntary submersion in water as measured in four healthy males
Four men established a new score (Guinness Book of Records) by staying submersed in thermoneutral water (average diving depth 2.5 m) for 41 h without slee**. The aim of this study is to measure circulating horm...

Gravity, the hydrostatic indifference concept and the cardiovascular system
Gravity, like any acceleration, causes a hydrostatic pressure gradient in fluid-filled bodily compartments. At a force of 1G, this pressure gradient amounts to 10 kPa/m. Postural changes alter the distribution...

Modulation of plasma adrenomedullin by epinephrine infusion during head up tilt
We investigated whether head up tilt (HUT) with and without simultaneous epinephrine infusion modulate plasma adrenomedullin. We studied eight healthy male volunteers, using two 5 min 70° HUT trials: control (...

Short-arm human centrifugation with 0.4g at eye and 0.75g at heart level provides similar cerebrovascular and cardiovascular responses to standing
Orthostatic intolerance continues to be a problem with astronauts upon return to Earth as a result of cerebral and cardiovascular adaptations to weightlessness. We tested the hypothesis that artificial gravity...
