Alterations in Arterial Blood Parameters in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis and Ascites
In cirrhotic patients, in addition to hepatocytes and Kuppfer cells dysfunction circulatory anatomic shunt and ventilation/perfusion (VA/ Q) ratio abnormalities can induce decrease in partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2), in oxygen ...

Brain strain: Blood flow and metabolism in environmental extremes
Abstract This narrative review compares and contrasts the most commonly encountered environmental stressors on human cerebrovascular functioning. From high altitude and space, extreme apnoea, heat and cold stress, the impact of these stressors on the regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygen metabolism (CMRO2${\mathrm{CM}}{{\mathrm{R}}_ ...

Mitochondrial oxidative stress, calcium and dynamics in cardiac ischaemia‐reperfusion injury
Abstract figure legend Heart attack causes ischaemia–reperfusion injury in cardiomyocytes. Mitochondria generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress. High levels of mitochondrial calcium (Ca2+) activate the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), and excess ROS levels can lower the Ca2+ required to activate the mPTP ...

Abstract figure legend During 10 h exposures to normobaric hypoxia exposure there was a selective leftward shift in ventilatory response to hyperoxic hypercapnic rebreathing, but not the cerebrovascular response. The key findings are that the resetting of the central chemoreflex to lower PCO2${P_{{\mathrm{C}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$ during early hypoxic ...

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

Hypoxia and hypercapnia elicit overlapping but distinct skeletal muscle toxicities
Abstract figure legend Hypoxia and hypercapnia cause overlapping skeletal muscle phenotypes, including atrophy, change in myofibre metabolic profile and myogenic response to injury. Both signals operate via distinct cellular pathways. Abstract Skeletal muscle dysfunction is strongly associated with elevated mortality in acute and chronic pulmonary ...
