Rapidly and slowly progressive neuromuscular disease: differences in pulmonary function, respiratory tract infections and response to lung volume recruitment therapy (LVR)

BMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2022
Introduction Reduced lung volumes are a hallmark of respiratory muscle weakness in neuromuscular disease (NMD). Low respiratory system compliance (Crs) may contribute to restriction and be amenable to lung volume recruitment (LVR) therapy.

The association of exhaled nitric oxide with air pollutants in young infants of asthmatic mothers

Environmental Health, 2023
Background Exhaled nitric oxide is a marker of airway inflammation. Air pollution induces airway inflammation and oxidative stress. Little is known about the impact of air pollution on exhaled nitric oxide in young infants. Methods The Breathing for Life

Expression alteration of serum exosomal circular RNAs in obstructive sleep apnea patients with acute myocardial infarction

BMC Medical Genomics, 2023
Purpose Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are recently identified as a class of non-coding RNAs that participate in the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, circRNAs expression pattern in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with AMI remains unknown.

Inter-hospital cardiorespiratory telemonitoring of newborns and infants: a wellworking example of a hub and spoke network

Italian Journal of Pediatrics, 2023
Background Patients who experience cardiorespiratory events usually have to be moved to specialized centers to perform cardiorespiratory studies. To avoid the transfer of these patients to specialized centers, a network has been created based on an ...

Characterization of Adenylyl Cyclase Isoform 6 Residues Interacting with Forskolin

Biology, 2023
Background: The adenylyl cyclase (AC) pathway, crucial for pulmonary vasodilation, is inhibited by hypoxia. Forskolin (FSK) binds allosterically to AC, stimulating ATP catalysis.

Critical cysteines in the functional interaction of adenylyl cyclase isoform 6 with Gαs

FASEB BioAdvances, 2022
Activation of adenylyl cyclases (ACs) by G‐protein Gαs catalyzes the production of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), a key second messenger that regulates diverse physiological responses.
