Respiratory Physiology on a Chip

Our current understanding of respiratory physiology and pathophysiological mechanisms of lung diseases is often limited by challenges in developing in vitro models faithful to the respiratory environment, both in cellular structure and physiological function. The recent establishment and adaptation of microfluidic-based in vitro devices (μFIVDs) of lung airways have enabled a wide range of deve...

Exercise Effects on Sleep Physiology

This mini-review focuses on the effects of exercise on sleep. In its early days, sleep research largely focused on central nervous system (CNS) physiology using standardized tabulations of several sleep-specific landmark electroencephalogram (EEG) waveforms. Though coarse, this method has enabled the observation and inspection of numerous uninterrupted sleep phenomena. The research on the effec...

Respiratory Physiology

iNTRoDUCTioN The main function of the lungs is to provide continuous gas exchange between inspired air and the blood in the pulmonary circulation, supplying oxygen and removing carbon dioxide, which is then cleared from the lungs by subsequent expiration. Survival is dependent upon this process being reliable, sustained and efficient, even when challenged by disease or an unfavourable environme...

Effect of Narcotics on Respiratory Physiology

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with numerous comorbid conditions. In many, a causative relationship has either been well established or strongly associated. As the knowledge of sleep-disordered breathing and its consequences continues to grow, so does the list of associated or consequential conditions. This article is part 2 of a 5-part series exploring more recently identified con...
