Abstract

Passive changes in the posture induce haemodynamic disturbances, and especially a decrease of the cardiac output. This in the steady state does not involve any modification of the alveolar gas. There are however transient variations of PAO2 and PACO2, studied in this work at constant states of ventilation and metabolism. The haemodynamic disturbances are produced by a tip-up seat, actuated by a sinusoidal motion to different velocities and a constant amplitude (90 degrees). The frequency response is analyzed according to servosystems theories. The results show that there are causes of non-linearity in PAO2 and PACO2 variations, more complex for PAO2, and that the amplitude of the variations is two to three times greater for PAO2 than for PACO2. The observed transient phenomena are essentially interpreted as resulting from the differences in dynamic behavior between cardiac output on the one hand, variations in the arterio-venous gradient on the other; this effect is more pronounced for PAO2 variations. From a practical point of view, the great amplitude of transient PAO2 variations (as much as 11 mmHg) could, under certain conditions, allow, by the single continuous recording of PO2 to the mouth, to demonstrate and define the t...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
