Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasonic measurement of human fetal blood flow.
TL;DR: Pulsed Doppler technique was combined with real-time B-mode ultrasonography for non-invasive measurement of human fetal blood flow in utero and the reproducibility of diameter measurement was tested in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-course of endothelial adaptation following acute and regular exercise.
Per Magnus Haram,Volker Adams,Ole J. Kemi,Alf O. Brubakk,Rainer Hambrecht,Øyvind Ellingsen,Ulrik Wisløff +6 more
TL;DR: A single bout of exercise improves endothelium-dependent dilation for about 2 days, with peak effect after 12-24 h, and regular exercise further improves adaptation and increases the sensitivity to acetylcholine approximately fourfold, which slowly returns to sedentary levels within a week of detraining.
Journal ArticleDOI
A single air dive reduces arterial endothelial function in man
Alf O. Brubakk,Darko Duplančić,Zoran Valic,Ivan Palada,Ante Obad,Darija Bakovic,Ulrik Wisløff,Zeljko Dujic +7 more
TL;DR: Diving can lead to acute arterial endothelial dysfunction in man and that oxygen breathing will increase arterial diameter after return to breathing air, as shown in this study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deadly diving? Physiological and behavioural management of decompression stress in diving mammals

Pollock,David S. Rotstein,Teri Rowles,Samantha E. Simmons,W. Van Bonn,P. K. Weathersby,Michael J. Weise,Terrie M. Williams,Peter L. Tyack,Peter L. Tyack +29 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that diving mammals vary their physiological responses according to multiple stressors, and that the perspective on marine mammal diving physiology should change from simply minimizing N2 loading to management of the N2 load.
Journal Article
Agreement between trained and untrained observers in grading intravascular bubble signals in ultrasonic images.
O Eftedal,Alf O. Brubakk +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that ultrasonic imaging offers a useful and cost-effective alternative to Doppler systems for detection and quantification of intravascular gas bubbles.
