Types of Arterial Blood Flow

How Does Your Blood Flow

A study finds that high and low frequency ultrasound can affect the aggregation of red blood cells. High and low frequencies promote aggregation and dispersion, respectively. Blood viscocity is changed as a result. Dispersal of erythrocytes promotes oxygen exchange. This may have therapeutic value for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease.

Low-frequency ultrasound can improve blood flow for cardiovascular and neurological disease treatment

For decades, ultrasound has been associated with diagnostics—a routine scan in a hospital room, a monitor displaying organs, tissues, or the first image of a baby. However, researchers are now looking at ultrasound from an entirely different perspective.

#Hypothyroidism is the term for a slower-performing #thyroid. This can decrease #metabolism and cause #chronicfatigue. A person may receive a diagnosis of #hyperthyroidism if his thyroid produces too many #T3 and #T4 #hormones; this leads to other #hormoneimbalances and a #fastermetabolism, sometimes causing rapid #weightloss. #Goiters are #swollenthyroids, a painful condition that not only affects the thyroid itself but also the #voicebox and #bloodflow around the #neck https://www.angstrom-minerals.com/?dt_id=2139817

Mobility as Recovery: Movement that Heals ❤️‍🩹

Mobility and recovery aren’t just “extras”, they’re the foundation that allows your body to adapt, grow, and perform at its best.

A study with 40 young men found that a high-flavanol drink (cocoa) offset the decrease in arterial function that otherwise occurred during two hours of sitting.

Study: Flavanol-Rich Foods Protect Vascular Health in Men from Harmful Effects of Prolonged Sitting | Sci.News

In a new study, dietary cocoa flavanols consumed just before 2 hours of uninterrupted sitting were effective at preventing sitting-induced reductions in vascular function in young healthy men.

Circulation in a Capillary Network

Today’s video shows red blood cells flowing through a capillary network in a rat’s skeletal muscle. At this resolution, our eyes can follow the paths of individual red blood cells squeezing through each capillary, as well as the faster blur of thicker capillaries where many cells can pass at once. Watching videos like this is a great way to build intuition for particle image velocimetry, streaklines, and other flow visualization methods as our brains can readily recognize where the cells are moving fast and where they are slower.

New Research Uncovers How the Brain’s Activity, Energy Use, and Blood Flow Change as People Fall Asleep | Mass General Brigham

A new study by Mass General Brigham investigators used next-generation imaging technology to discover that when the brain is falling asleep, it shows a coordinated shift in activity.
