TL;DR: A series of recommendations on the basis of review and critical appraisal of recent physiological studies, pertaining to the most appropriate methods to assess FMD in humans are made.

The relationship between shear stress and flow-mediated dilatation: implications for the assessment of endothelial function.
TL;DR: The mechanisms of FMD depend on the nature of the shear stress stimulus (stimulus response specificity), an update to the current guidelines for FMD assessment is provided, and the issues that surround the clinical utility of measuring both NO‐ and non‐NO‐mediated FMD are summarized.

Initial orthostatic hypotension: review of a forgotten condition.
TL;DR: This review alerts clinicians and clinician scientists to a common, yet often neglected, condition that occurs only upon an active change of posture and discusses its epidemiology, pathophysiology and management.

Impact of controlling shear rate on flow-mediated dilation responses in the brachial artery of humans
TL;DR: The reactive hyperemia test (RHtest) evokes a transient increase in shear stress as a stimulus for endothelial-dependent flow-mediated vasodilation (EDFMD), and a noninvasive method to create controlled elevations in brachial artery shear rate (SR), controlled hyperemian test (CHtest), and assessed the impact of this vs. the RHtest approach on EDFMD.

Exercise and circulating BDNF: Mechanisms of release and implications for the design of exercise interventions.
TL;DR: Evidence is reviewed to support that exploiting these mechanisms of BDNF release can help to optimize brain plasticity outcomes via exercise interventions, which could be especially relevant in the context of multimodal training.
