Comparative response of EPO and soluble transferrin receptor at high altitude

Article Abstract:

Erythropoietin (EPO) and soluble transferrin receptors (sTFR) are both sensitive indicators for erythropoietic activity. The serum EPO and serum TFR concentrations in healthy humans during a progressive decompression in a hypobaric chamber up to a simulated altitude of Mount Everest (8848m) and during and after a 1-wk stay at 4350m are investigated.

Muscle oxygenation of the paralyzed lower limb in spinal cord-injured persons

Article Abstract:

The study focuses on whether the oxygenation level of the paralyzed lower limb muscle covaried with the muscle EMG activity during imposed passive leg movement. Results reveal that passive leg movement could induce not only muscular activity, but also alternation of the muscle oxygenation level in the paralyzed lower leg.

Effect of ipratropium bromide on EIB in children depends on vagal activity

Article Abstract:

The effect of ipratropium bromide (IB) on exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) and its correlation with vagal activity (VA) in children with asthma and documented EIB is examined. The results suggest the possible relationship between vagal activity and the therapeutic effect of IB on exercise-induced asthma.
