Oxygen uptake ( O) and pulmonary ventilation ( E) during military surface fin swimming in a swimming flume: Effects of surface immersion.

: During military fin swimming, we suspected that oxygen uptake ( O) and pulmonary ventilation ( E) might be much higher than expected. In this framework, we compared these variables in the responses of trained military divers during land cycling and snorkeling exercises. : Eighteen male military divers (32.

Polymorphisms of fibronectin-1 (rs3796123; rs1968510; rs10202709; rs6725958; and rs35343655) are not associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease that mainly affects premature newborns. Many different factors, increasingly genetic, are involved in the pathogenesis of BPD. The aim of the study is to investigate the possible influence of fibronectin SNP on the occurrence of BPD.

Contracting COVID-19 in the first and second trimester of pregnancy: what we know - a concise qualitative systematic review.

Introduction: Recent medical literature has drawn attention to the possible influence of COVID-19 on the course of pregnancies. As the coherence of results seems to vary, especially in relation to first and second trimester pregnancies, a concise qualitative systematic review can shed light on the most recent data.

Material And Methods: A structured systematic search was performed to collect all COVID-19 pregnancy-related articles published between January 1 and September 16, 2020.

Hearing Impairment in Infants with Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy Treated with Hypothermia.

Therapeutic hypothermia acts as the standard of care for infants with moderate to severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). A proportion of neonates who undergo hypothermia due to HIE have shown to develop various degrees of hearing impairment. Analyzing and identifying infants at high risk of developing hearing difficulties is fundamental for early intervention of such auditory complications.
