Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The impact of various imaging techniques on the safety and outcomes of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation remains unclear. Intra‐procedural three‐dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) is the least used imaging method despite some benefits.

Nitric oxide regulates skeletal muscle fatigue, fiber type, microtubule organization, and mitochondrial ATP synthesis efficiency through cGMP-dependent mechanisms [PDF]
, 2016 Aim: Skeletal muscle nitric oxide–cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO-cGMP) pathways are impaired in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy partly because of reduced nNOSμ and soluble guanylate cyclase (GC) activity.

Exercise‐induced dynamic hyperinflation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory lung disease caused by inhalation of noxious particles, most commonly cigarette smoking. The consequent changes in airways, lung parenchyma and pulmonary vasculature lead to increased resistive, elastic and threshold loads and impaired capacity of the respiratory muscle pump. COPD

Clinical and molecular features and therapeutic perspectives of spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 [PDF]
, 2015 Spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress (SMARD1) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the IGHMBP2 gene, encoding the immunoglobulin μ-binding protein 2, leading to motor neuron degeneration.

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Diaphragm dysfunction after cardiac surgery: a global approach [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing, 2019 Diaphragm ultrasound is a noninvasive technique that can be used to assess diaphragm function. In cardiac surgery, the technique may help physicians during the weaning process, in addition with echocardiography after surgery.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life‐saving intervention applied to critically ill patients. A common consequence of MV is ventilator‐induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD), which is characterized by significant diaphragm atrophy and reduced contractile function. Older patients who receive MV are more likely to develop VIDD, have worse recovery,

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and MuscleBackground Mechanical inactivity rapidly induces diaphragm muscle fibres' contractile dysfunction and atrophy. Diaphragm weakness can impair respiratory function, quality of life and increase risks of morbidity and mortality. Muscle RING‐finger protein‐1

Mitophagy in skeletal muscle: Impact of ageing, exercise and disuse
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Skeletal muscle plays an important role in whole‐body health, quality of life and regulation of metabolism. The maintenance of a healthy mitochondrial pool is imperative for the preservation of skeletal muscle quality and is mediated through mitochondrial quality control consisting of mitochondrial turnover mediated by a balance between ...
