Supine cycling with lower body negative pressure: a novel treatment for concussion
Aperçu du projet
The main aim of this project is to examine the efficacy of the non-pharmacological intervention of lower body negative pressure (LBNP) with head up tilt on cerebral blood flow and concussion symptoms during exercise in individuals with persisting symptoms. The non-pharmacological exercise-related treatment strategy will reduce concussion symptoms during exercise…

Voir le projet et les chercheursCharacterizing regional cerebral autoregulation in women with carotid stenosis and its relationship to underlying hemodynamic and metabolic function
Aperçu du projet
The objective of our project is to investigate if women with carotid stenosis (CAS) have impaired cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation in different regions of their brain. Specifically, we hypothesize that women with more severe CAS will have greater impairments in their ability to maintain CBF during rapid reductions in…

Voir le projet et les chercheursInvestigating the relationship between vascular risk factors and cognitive impairment in Canadian women from ethnically diverse groups
Aperçu du projet
To obtain a more inclusive understanding of vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) in women, we will investigate the relationship between vascular health and cognition in women belonging to Canada’s three largest ethnic groups (South Asian, Chinese, and White). To do so, we will assess measures of vascular…

Voir le projet et les chercheursSex Differences in Association between hypertension and Cognitive Health: The Role of Small Vessel Disease
Aperçu du projet
The understanding of the factors responsible for the increased risk of cognitive problems in women remains limited. Determining the function of small vessel disease in maintaining brain health is crucial, particularly for women. As a result, we propose examining cognitive abilities as well as changes in the structure and volume…
