Changes in the capillary flow of gingiva due to the influence of some impulses

Abstract

75 healthy men and women, aged from 20 to 45 years, were divided into five groups of 15 persons each. Na131I resorption halftime values from the examined area of the gingiva, pulse frequency as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressure were examined. Tests were carried out twice. One group served as a control group. During the second test emotional, light, sound or tactile impulses were applied to the other groups. The control group that was not exposed to any of the impulses investigated during the second examination showed no significant differences in values with any of the observed indices. Under the influence of emotional, sound or light impulses, a significant increase in pulse frequency as well as in systolic and diastolic blood pressure was noted. This suggested that both the one-minute volume and the peripheral resistance of the circulation system increased. Na131I resorption half-time values from the examined area of the gingiva significantly increased under the influence of emotional and sound impulse by 64%, of light impulse by 84% and of tactile impulse by 93%. This meant that the blood flow through the capillary gingival bed had significantly reduced due to the influence of these impulses. It is to assume that...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
