Objectives To derive sex-specific peak oxygen uptake (VO 2peak) reference equations for cycle ergometer cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) that integrate estimations of lean body mass (eLBM) and ...
THE present study was undertaken to determine if the pattern of ventilation, by itself, may influence oxygenation during anesthesia and surgery. The hypothesis was examined that progressive pulmonary ...
Definitions of hypoxaemia, hypoxia, type 1 respiratory failure and hyperoxaemia Definition of hypercapnia and type 2 respiratory failure Definition of acidosis (respiratory acidosis and metabolic ...
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a multifactorial chronic lung disease of premature neonates. BPD development depends on prenatal and postnatal factors that induce inflammation, altering alveolar ...
Hypoxia is associated with the onset of cardiovascular diseases including cardiac hypertrophy and pulmonary hypertension. HIF2 (hypoxia inducible factor 2) signaling in the endothelium mediates ...

Lung physiology research advanced significantly over the last 100 years. Respiratory mechanics applied to animal models of lung disease extended the knowledge of the workings of respiratory system. In ...
The aim of this work is to analyze the carbon monoxide (CO) transport in the human body submitted to several physical activity levels. A complete mathematical model of the human respiratory system was ...
