  3. Notomi Y, Popovic ZB, Yamada H, Wallick DW, Martin MG, Oryszak SJ, Shiota T, Greenberg NL, Thomas JD. Ventricular untwisting: A temporal link between left ventricular relaxation and suction. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol. 2007 Nov 21; [Epub ahead of print] (PI: J.D. Thomas)
  4. Glenny RW, Hughes JM, West JB. Point: Counterpoint: Gravity is/is not the major factor determining the distribution of blood flow in the human lung. J Appl Physiol. 2007 Nov 15; [Epub ahead of print] (PI: J.B. West) Note: This is a debate over the relative role of gravity in affecting blood flow in the lung. Hughes and West argue that gravity is the single most important factor, though not the only factor; Glenny argues, from a model based on fractals, that "the geometry of the vascular tree is more important than gravity in determining regional blood flow" in the lung.
