GABA and respiratory function

General Pharmacology: The Vascular System, 1984
The inhibitory neurotransmitter y-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is involved in many CNS functions and in behaviour (see, e.g. Krogsgaard-Larsen et al., 1979; Mandel and DeFeudis, 1979, 1983; DeFeudis and Mandel, 1981; Okada and Roberts, 1982). Thus, GABA appears to play roles in the control of specific sensory systems (e.g.

Respiratory Function in Pregnant Women

2013
Respiratory disorders during pregnancy are connected with its physiology. About half of pregnant women suffer from dyspnea on exertion and some 20 % also from dyspnea at rest. Symptoms may intensify in obese patients. Smoking and respiratory disorders influence the well-being of the fetus.

Function and Fatigue of Respiratory Muscles

Chest, 1985
The functional anatomy of the respiratory muscles and their actions and interactions are presented, particularly of the diaphragm. The large amount of blood flow to respiratory muscles and the determination of blood flow are reviewed, while the role these muscles play in the overall economy of the body in health and disease are discussed.

Physical activity, physical fitness and respiratory function — Exercise and respiratory function

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1999
The aim of the study was to establish patterns of respiratory function in Northern Ireland and to examine the relationship between physical activity, physical fitness and respiratory function. We identified 1600 adults over 16 yr using 2 stage probability sampling.

On the respiratory function of haemoglobin

2005
Hardly any molecule has attracted the interest of as many scientific disciplines as has haemoglobin. Contributions from physicists, chemists and biologists have combined to bring about a full understanding of the relationship between its structure and function.

Respiratory functions in thermal burns

Burns, 1983
In our present series, respiratory functions were observed in patients with a relatively small extent of burn compared to that commonly represented by the published works, and for a considerable duration of time (three weeks), commencing soon after the burn trauma.

Respiratory Function in the Postoperative Patient

Archives of Surgery, 1958
Studies made on anesthetized patients indicate that an adequate volume of pulmonary ventilation and total absorption of carbon dioxide are requisites for the prevention of respiratory acidosis. 1 Oxygen desaturation seldom occurs in the presence of the high partial pressure of oxygen generally used with anesthetic gases.

Respiratory function in active firefighters

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 2001
AbstractBackgroundExposure to environmental pollution during firefighting may results in the development of respiratory disorders in firefighters.MethodsThe health effects of firefighting on respiratory function was investigated in a group of 128 active firefighters by recording respiratory symptoms and measuring lung function.

Bedside Monitoring of Respiratory Function

Nursing Clinics of North America, 1981
The primary focus of any monitoring technique is to alert the practitioner to change. Assessment, evaluation, and analysis of the data provide the basis for clinical decision-making. Monitoring spontaneous ventilatory parameters offers an overall assessment of the effectiveness of maintaining pulmonary gas exchange.
