Effects of transcutaneous electrical diaphragmatic stimulation on the cardiac autonomic balance in healthy individuals: a randomized clinical trial

Fisioterapia e Pesquisa, 2016
The transcutaneous electrical diaphragmatic stimulation (TEDS) is a technique of respiratory muscle activation that affects breathing pattern and rhythm.

The Effect of Low-Frequency Physiological Correction on the Reproducibility and Specificity of Resting-State fMRI Metrics: Functional Connectivity, ALFF, and ReHo

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017
The resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) signal is affected by a variety of low-frequency physiological phenomena, including variations in cardiac-rate (CRV), respiratory-volume (RVT), and end-tidal CO2 (PETCO2). While these effects have become better understood

Investigation of non-uniform airflow signal oscillation during high frequency chest compression

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2005
Background High frequency chest compression (HFCC) is a useful and popular therapy for clearing bronchial airways of excessive or thicker mucus. Our observation of respiratory airflow of a subject during use of HFCC showed the airflow oscillation by HFCC

Novel Mechanical Strain Characterization of Ventilated ex vivo Porcine and Murine Lung using Digital Image Correlation

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Respiratory illnesses, such as bronchitis, emphysema, asthma, and COVID-19, substantially remodel lung tissue, deteriorate function, and culminate in a compromised breathing ability. Yet, the structural mechanics of the lung is significantly understudied.

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

Exploiting metabolic adaptations to overcome dabrafenib treatment resistance in melanoma cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that dabrafenib‐resistant melanoma cells undergo mitochondrial remodeling, leading to elevated respiration and ROS production balanced by stronger antioxidant defenses. This altered redox state promotes survival despite mitochondrial damage but renders resistant cells highly vulnerable to ROS‐inducing compounds such as PEITC, highlighting redox

Validity and Reliability of a New Wearable Chest Strap to Estimate Respiratory Frequency in Elite Soccer Athletes

Sports
Assessing respiratory frequency (fR) is practical in monitoring training progress in competitive athletes, especially during exercise. This study aimed to validate a new wearable chest strap (wCS) to estimate fR against ergospirometry as a criterion ...
