Assessing cognitive dysfunction in the hemodialysis population
… blood volume (BV), hematocrit (HCT), and O2 saturation data was collected for comparison. Significant declines were seen in cognitive domains; specifically long term memory measures over the course of a dialysis session (p<0.05). A trend toward significance was seen in the cognitive …

Cellular Coping Mechanisms to Hypoxia in the Longhorn Sculpin (Myoxocephalus octodecemspinosus) Brain
… were challenged with acute hypoxia (40% O2 saturation for 1 h) and twelve additional sculpin were used as controls (~90% O<sub>2</sub> saturation). Fish were sampled at each of the following time points: control/normoxic conditions (T=0 h); hypoxic conditions (T=3 h); early (T=7 h total; …

Central and peripheral determinants of fatigue in acute hypoxia
… magnetic stimulation (TMS). Reductions in O2 supply (hypoxia) exacerbate fatigue and as the severity of hypoxia increases, central mechanisms of fatigue are thought to contribute more to exercise intolerance. In study 1, the feasibility of TMS to measure cortical voluntary activation and …

Psychological Factors Influencing Adherence to Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Patients
… and strong statistically significant increase in O2 saturation at implementation of CPAP use that demonstrated that CPAP treatment continues to remain an effective treatment option for OSA sufferers. While more research is still needed to exploring the predictive value of a range of psychological …

Understanding and predicting pulmonary exacerbations in Cystic Fibrosis using Machine Learning
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most prevalent, life-limiting, multi-system, genetic disorder, affecting over 100,000 individuals globally. The condition is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis trans-membrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which corrupts the instructions for making the …
