It has previously been reported that repeated exposure to hypoxia increases spleen size and haemoglobin (HGB) level and recent reports on the effect apnoea has on spleen size and haematological parameters are contradictory. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect apnoea training has on spleen size and haematological parameters. The breath-holding (BH) group was comprised of 12 local student-athletes with no BH exercise experience who performed BH jogging and BH jumping rope dynamic apnoea protocols, five times weekly for 8 weeks.

Article Synopsis
  • The research introduces a new method for ring opening and skeletal reconstruction of 3-vinyl benzofuranone-chromones as useful building blocks for creating 2-pyridones, demonstrating environmental benefits with high yield (77-93%).
  • When using the optically active 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine as the reactant, the process yields highly functionalized imidazoline derivatives with impressive efficiency (up to 87%).
  • This study marks the first instance of a catalyst-free cyclization between an amide and primary aliphatic amine to synthesize imidazoline compounds.
