Title
Use of nitric oxide inhalation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Description
Inhalation of nitric oxide with oxygen could be a promising treatment in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary hypertension. However, the current methods of delivery of NO are cumbersome and unsuitable for long term use. The present study was undertaken to inve...

Title
Nitric oxide insufficiency, platelet activation, and arterial thrombosis
Description
Nitric oxide (NO) was originally discovered as a vasodilator product of the endothelium. Over the last 15 years, this vascular mediator has been shown to have important antiplatelet actions as well. By activating guanylyl cyclase, inhibiting phosphoinositide 3-kinase, impairing capacitative calci...

Title
Nitric Oxide in Inflammation and Immune Response
Description
This short review deals with the role of a recently found signalling molecule, nitric oxide (NO), in inflammatory and immune responses. NO regulates inflammatory erythema and oedema and has cytotoxic action against micro-organisms. In some instances (such as reperfusion injury) NO has cytoprotect...

Title
Nitric Oxide and Wound Healing
Description
Nitric oxide is a short-lived free radical that acts at the molecular, cellular, and physiologic level. Since its discovery almost 20 years ago it has proven itself as an important element in wound healing. This review highlights many of the important aspects of nitric oxide in wound healing, inc...

Title
Music structure determines heart rate variability of singers
Description
Choir singing is known to promote wellbeing. One reason for this may be that singing demands a slower than normal respiration, which may in turn affect heart activity. Coupling of heart rate variability (HRV) to respiration is called Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA). This coupling has a subject...

Title
Reduced pain and analgesic use after acoustic binaural beats therapy in chronic pain – A double-blind randomized control cross-over trial
Description
Binaural Beats (BB) consist of two artificial acoustic stimuli with different frequency, presented simultaneously but independently to each ear. The human brain perceives and synchronizes to this frequency difference (entrainment). Aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that brain entrainme...

Title
Binaural auditory beats affect vigilance performance and mood
Description
When two tones of slightly different frequency are presented separately to the left and right ears the listener perceives a single tone that varies in amplitude at a frequency equal to the frequency difference between the two tones, a perceptual phenomenon known as the binaural auditory beat. Ane...

Title
Whole Body Vibration-Induced Omental Macrophage Polarization and Fecal Microbiome Modification in a Murine Model
Description
Human nutrient metabolism, developed millions of years ago, is anachronistic. Adaptive features that offered survival advantages are now great liabilities. The current dietary pattern, coupled with massively reduced physical activities, causes an epidemic of obesity and chronic metabolic diseases...

The neurochemistry and social flow of singing: bonding and oxytocin
Description
Music is used in healthcare to promote physical and psychological well-being. As clinical applications of music continue to expand, there is a growing need to understand the biological mechanisms by which music influences health. Here we explore the neurochemistry and social flow of group singing...

Anatomically distinct dopamine release during anticipation and experience of peak emotion to music
Description
Music, an abstract stimulus, can arouse feelings of euphoria and craving, similar to tangible rewards that involve the striatal dopaminergic system. Using the neurochemical specificity of [11C]raclopride positron emission tomography scanning, combined with psychophysiological measures of autonomi...

Thrills in response to music and other stimuli
Description
Volunteer subjects who gave informed consent listened through earphones to music of their own choice on stereophonic tape,
sitting in a quiet, darkened room. Raising one finger signified a definite thrill of lowest intensity and localized, two fingers
a stronger thrill with some spread, three f...
