• Hemodynamic and cerebrovascular effects of intermittent lower leg compression as countermeasure to orthostatic stress

  New Findings What is the central question of this study? Does smartly‐timed intermittent compression of the lower legs alter cerebral blood velocity and oxygenation during acute orthostatic challenges? What is the main finding and its importance? Intermitted compression timed to the local diastolic phase increased the blood flux through the legs and heart following two different orthostatic stress tests. Cerebral blood velocity improved

  Hyperuricemia (HU) is a risk factor for different kinds of chronic noncommunicable diseases, and eating away from home (EAFH) may play an important role in their development, which has been ignored greatly so far. This study aimed to investigate the association between EAFH and HU in different models.
