The contributions of nocturnal hypoxaemia and sleep disturbances to acute mountain sickness

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is common after ascent to altitude, yet individual susceptibility remains difficult to predict and diagnosis relies on subjective report. Sleep disturbances and nocturnal hypoxaemia at altitude may provide insight, but their relationship to AMS is incompletely understood.

Daily hot‐water immersion preserves altitude‐induced haemoglobin mass expansion following descent independent of erythropoietin

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐altitude exposure increases haemoglobin mass (Hbmass), a key determinant of arterial oxygen‐carrying capacity, but following descent this adaptation can regress toward baseline within 7 days. Long‐term heat acclimation has emerged as an alternative stimulus for Hbmass expansion; however, whether post‐altitude passive‐heat exposure can ...

Intense unimanual contractions increase muscle excitation and local metabolic activity in the resting contralateral forearm

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Intense unilateral muscle contractions evoke measurable activity within the contralateral neuroaxis, which can be detected with surface electromyographic activity in the resting homologous muscle. Physiological mirror activity (PMA), the unintentional increase in contralateral muscle excitation, has been implicated in cross‐limb interactions ...

TMEM16A chloride channels in the female reproductive tract and their role in normal and dysfunctional pregnancy and labour

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend TMEM16A plays a pivotal role in setting the duration of the action potential plateau in human uterine smooth muscle. An increase in TMEM16A expression in labour underpins a lengthening of the plateau and this provides time for the contraction to become larger and longer, important for timely successful labour.

Neuromuscular fatigability with repeated exercise in hypoxia: From single‐joint paradigms to sprints

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Acute hypobaric or normobaric hypoxic exposure accelerates neuromuscular fatigability during repeated exercise. Indices of peripheral and central fatigue are not different at exhaustion in mild, moderate and severe hypoxia compared with normoxia, but task failure occurs earlier.
