Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Poliacek Ivan"
- Poliacek Ivan's recent research primarily focuses on understanding the mechanisms of cough reflex in cats, investigating the roles of various neural structures and pharmacological agents that influence cough suppression and modulation.
- Notable findings include the effects of GABA and its antagonists on cough frequency and intensity, how airway mechanics alter cough motor patterns, and the impact of vagal afferent input on cough response, suggesting complex interactions between neural pathways and respiratory control mechanisms.
- The studies also explore the physiological adaptations in cough reflex following surgical interventions, such as laparotomy and cerebellectomy, contributing to a broader understanding of how different conditions affect cough dynamics and respiratory physiology in anesthetized feline models.
