Functional Lung Imaging Identifies Peripheral Ventilation Changes in ꞵ‐ENaC Mice
β‐ENaC‐Tg mice have previously been shown to exhibit muco‐obstructive disease and emphysema. This study analysed lung function in β‐ENaC‐Tg mice using XV functional imaging and flexiVent assessments. XV enabled ventilation defects to be identified and localised, and the flexiVent comfirmed increased lung compliance and reduced tissue elastance ...

ABSTRACT Strenuous exercise in elite sports impacts the immune system, leading to high rates of upper respiratory tract infections and airway dysfunction, such as asthma and exercise‐induced bronchoconstriction (EIB). Cross‐country (XC) skiers and ice hockey (IH) players are particularly affected due to their training environments and sports ...

Abstract There is limited knowledge on diffusing capacity in scoliosis patients. It remains to be determined if impaired pulmonary diffusing capacity is mostly influenced by reduced alveolar–capillary membrane diffusing capacity (DM, CO), reduced pulmonary capillary blood volume (VC) or both.

Abstract Intermittent hypoxia has been used to enhance oxygen delivery in athletes and patients; however, it is unclear whether acute exposure is sufficient to elicit lasting physiologic adaptation(s). The purpose of this study was to evaluate physiologic response(s) to hypobaric‐hypoxic (HH) exercise. Nine participants (4 M/5F; 37.9 ± 12.7 yrs.; 174.3

The interrelationship among exercise intensity, endothelial function, and ghrelin in healthy humans
Abstract Ghrelin circulates in acylated (AG) and deacylated (DAG) isoforms and both may impact endothelial function (EF). Although acute exercise has been shown to modulate ghrelin levels and EF, data on the impact of exercise intensity on these parameters are scarce.
