Re‐Purposing Sapropterin (Kuvan) for ACTA2‐Related Multisystemic Smooth Muscle Dysfunction Syndrome: A Translational Mechanistic and First‐In‐Human Therapeutic Report

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome (MSMDS) is an ultra‐rare, ACTA2‐related disorder characterized by severe cerebrovascular disease, aortic aneurysms, and smooth muscle dysfunction. Using molecular dynamics simulations and in silico drug screening, we identified that sapropterin dihydrochloride (Kuvan) is a candidate capable of ...

Sex differences in the work of breathing during exercise are independent of forced vital capacity in healthy adults

Experimental Physiology
During exercise, females have a higher work of breathing (ẆB) than males for a given minute ventilation (V̇E) ≥ 50–60 L min−1, presumably due to sex differences in airway size.

Scalene and sternocleidomastoid activation during normoxic and hypoxic incremental inspiratory loading

Physiological Reports, 2020
The purpose of this study was to examine scalene (SA) and sternocleidomastoid (SM) activation during normoxic (norm‐ITL; FIO2 = 21%) and hypoxic (hyp‐ITL; FIO2 = 15%) incremental inspiratory threshold loading (ITL).

Troponin T and Neurofilament Light Chain Levels as Complementary Biomarkers of Disease Accumulation and Aggressiveness in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a clinically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disease requiring reliable biomarkers to improve patient stratification and trial design. While serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) reflects neuroaxonal stress and disease aggressiveness, troponin T (TnT) may capture complementary aspects of ...

Respiratory effect of the intercostal muscles in the dog. [PDF]

, 1993
In a previous paper (J. Appl. Physiol. 73: 2283-2288, 1992), respiratory effect was defined as the change in airway pressure produced by active tension in a muscle with the airway closed, mechanical advantage was defined as the respiratory effect per ...

Exercise training-induced changes in respiratory muscles [PDF]

, 1997
Interest in the adaptive strategies of respiratory muscles in response to exercise training has grown in recent years. Animal studies have clearly demonstrated that regular endurance exercise training results in small but significant increases in ...
