Physical performance was assessed in 134 healthy males aged 18-28, residents of the southern Uzbekistan. They were divided into two groups according to the results of bicycle exercise. Group I subjects (32 natives and 38 non-natives) exhibited high physical efficacy, group II subjects--low efficacy (30 and 34 natives and non-natives, respectively). Meteorotropic responses of the external respiration were studied in relation to thermal discomfort, sand storms eve and invasions. Group I subjects, natives in particular, responded by efficient and adequate external respiration, in contrast to group II non-natives who developed pulmonary hyperventilation. The latter is thought a compensatory reaction aimed at maintenance of homeostasis achieved at the expense of inefficient function of the respiratory system.

Background Cardiopulmonary arrest is a leading cause of death and requires swift intervention for survival. Previous studies have highlighted the critical importance of initiating cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation within a limited timeframe. Improving outcomes depends on widespread CPR training, accessible automated external defibrillators (AEDs), and increased public awareness.

Introduction: Propofol is a widely used sedative-hypnotic agent for critically ill patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Despite its clinical benefits, propofol is associated with increased risks of hypertriglyceridemia. Early identification of patients at risk for propofol-associated hypertriglyceridemia is crucial for optimising sedation strategies and preventing adverse outcomes.

Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that is a major hazardous environmental contaminant, ubiquitously present in the environment. Cd exposure has been closely associated with an increased prevalence and severity of neurological and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays a crucial role in protecting the brain from external environmental factors.

This study proposes a real-time tumor position prediction-based multi-dimensional respiratory motion compensation puncture method to accurately track real-time lung tumors and achieve precise needle puncture.A hybrid model framework integrating prediction and correlation models is developed to enable real-time tumor localization. A Long Short-Term Memory neural network with bidirectional and attention modules (Bi-LSTM-ATT) is employed for predicting external respiratory signals.

Biophotovoltaics (BPV) represents an innovative biohybrid technology that couples electrochemistry with oxygenic photosynthetic microbes to harness solar energy and convert it into electricity. Central to BPV systems is the ability of microbes to perform extracellular electron transfer (EET), utilizing an anode as an external electron sink. This process simultaneously serves as an electron sink and enhances the efficiency of water photolysis compared to conventional electrochemical water splitting.
