Microelectrode recordings from the human cervical vagus nerve during maximal breath‐holds
Abstract Voluntary breath‐holds can be sustained for a long time following training, but ultimately, regardless of duration, the asphyxic break‐point is reached and the apnoea terminated. The physiological changes occurring during the apnoea include a marked increase in sympathetically‐mediated vasoconstriction in non‐essential organs, such as skeletal

Abstract We investigated whether nocturnal oxygen therapy improves next‐day cerebrovascular function in lowlanders with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) staying at moderate altitude. This randomized, placebo‐controlled single‐blind crossover trial was performed in moderate‐to‐severe COPD patients [forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1 ...

Abstract Altitude training enhances haematological adaptations and endurance at sea level, typically requiring exposure to ∼2500 m altitude for 3–4 weeks. Emerging evidence suggests that low‐dose carbon monoxide (CO) inhalation might mimic hypoxia and might be used by elite athletes.

Carotid artery dissection linked to intermittent apnoeic swimming: A case–control study
Abstract Internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection is a rare and potentially devastating cause of cerebral ischaemia, initiated by an intimal tear or rupture of the vasa vasorum, that can lead to an intraluminal thrombus, vascular stenosis, occlusion, or dissecting aneurysm formation.

Abstract The magnitude of progressive augmentation (PA) and ventilatory long‐term facilitation (vLTF) are two forms of respiratory plasticity that are enhanced in some humans with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). This response might be linked to repeated nocturnal exposure to intermittent hypoxia or other traits connected to OSA.

Abstract Acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) can increase maximal strength of limb muscles in people with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), but it is mostly untested in people without SCI. Acute intermittent hypercapnia (AIC) may engage similar respiratory circuits to AIH, but the effects of AIC on human limb motor output are unknown.
