Role of novel automated methods in pulse signal analysis to screen for sleep‐disordered breathing among patients on chronotropic medications

Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Study objectives To investigate the use of automated analysis to detect heart rate accelerations (HRAs) to screen for sleep‐disordered breathing (SDB) among patients who use chronotropic medications. Methods Nocturnal polysomnography (NPSG) recordings from 933 participants in the Sleep Heart Health Study were analyzed using an automated method

Sargassum Lung Syndrome: Air Flow Obstruction and Bronchial Inflammation Are Observed After Prolonged Exposure to Sargassum Gas Emissions in the Eastern Caribbean

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sargassum inundation of Caribbean and American shorelines is a growing environmental hazard. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) produced by decomposing Sargassum could be involved in airway obstruction and bronchial inflammation. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of exposure to H2S and NH3 gases emitted during Sargassum ...

Capture of isoflurane from anaesthetised dogs and cats following methadone, medetomidine and ketamine administration

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Volatile anaesthetic agents contribute to climate change, and reducing this impact is a commendable ambition. We evaluated the efficiency of a veterinary capture device for isoflurane (VET‐can/VET‐dock, SageTech Veterinary) in anaesthetised cats and dogs.
