DOI: 10.1007/s00221-018-5193-7
Abstract: We studied the response to axial taps (mini-perturbations) of a group of 13 healthy older subjects (mean age 63 ± 12 years, 7 females, 6 males), 12 of whom were also studied using larger applied (macro-) perturbations requiring… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0275132
Abstract: Aging is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease which is often accompanied by a decline in vascular health and function. Current evidence suggests that berries may have a potential role in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.14814/phy2.13341
Abstract: Postprandial hypotension (PPH) occurs frequently and is thought to reflect an inadequate increase in cardiac output to compensate for the rise in splanchnic blood flow after a meal. Gastric distension by water attenuates the postprandial… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2022.1050648
Abstract: Study objective Traditionally, age-related deterioration of sleep architecture in older individuals has been evaluated by visual scoring of polysomnographic (PSG) recordings with regard to total sleep time and latencies. In the present study, we additionally… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2021.779249
Abstract: Percutaneous electrical stimulation is used for reconditioning functional capabilities in older subjects. However, its optimal application depends on the specific physiological needs of the individual. Depending on whether his/her needs are related to motor function… read more here.

Immunosenescence and Altered Vaccine Efficiency in Older Subjects: A Myth Difficult to Change
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Vaccines"
DOI: 10.3390/vaccines10040607
Abstract: Organismal ageing is associated with many physiological changes, including differences in the immune system of most animals. These differences are often considered to be a key cause of age-associated diseases as well as decreased vaccine… read more here.
