We assessed whether intermittent hypoxia, which emulates one of the hallmarks of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), leads to altered faecal microbiome in a murine model. In vivo partial pressure of oxygen was measured in colonic faeces during intermittent hypoxia in four anesthetised mice. 10 mice were subjected to a pattern of chronic intermittent hypoxia (20 s at 5% O2 and 40 s at room air for 6...

We examined the effects of chronic intermittent hypoxia (IH) on the hemodynamics of systemic circulation in rat. Chronic IH has no effect on the hemodynamics in the normoxia condition, but it could effectively prevent the fall of hemodynamics during acute hypoxia.

Pulmonary Aspergillus infections are caused by the ubiquitous fungus mold when spores found in compost, dust, and plant material inhaled. Manifestation of disease is represented a delicate balance between host pathogen interactions, making infection more commonly observed immunocompromised individuals. Chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA) subtype Aspergillosis associated with history...

purpose : to evaluate the role of orthoptic treatments in the management of intermittent exotropia methods : in a retrospective study, clinical records of patients diagnosed with intermittent exotropia were reviewed. patients with basic, convergence insufficiency (ci) and divergence excess (de) types of intermittent exotropia who underwent orthoptic treatments were enrolled. office treatments i...

Being essentially cut off from the global scientific community, Ukrainian and Russian scientists have developed a new concept for the beneficial use of adaptation to artificial intermittent hypoxia in treating of many diseases. The basic mechanisms underlying intermittent hypoxic training were elaborated mainly in three areas: regulation of respiration, free radical production and mitochondrial...

Ataxia can be classified according to the onset into episodic, acute, intermittent and chronic ataxia. Acute ataxia in children is caused by CNS tumors, trauma, CNS infection, toxins, metabolic causes or stroke. Recurrent ataxia can be due to metabolic causes, seizures, basilar artery migraine or toxins. Chronic ataxia is usually the result of hereditary ataxia, CNS tumors, congenital anomalies...

Chronic intermittent hypoxia, a characteristic feature of sleep-disordered breathing, induces hypertension through augmented sympathetic nerve activity and requires the presence of functional carotid body arterial chemoreceptors. In contrast, chronic sustained hypoxia does not alter blood pressure. We therefore analyzed the biosynthetic pathways of catecholamines in peripheral nervous system st...
