Thermal tolerance limits of ectotherms may result from respiratory limitations. In response to declining oxygen availability, organisms have shown to exhibit oxyregulation by enhancing ventilation and heartbeat rates. In this study we examined how this regulatory response in mussels (Mytilus) changes with increasing temperature. Experimental mussels showed extensive oxyregulation at temperatures near to their habitat temperature, but increasingly lost this capacity towards higher temperatures. At breakpoint temperature no regulation took place and respiration rates changed proportional to oxygen availability. These results revealed how thermal limitations relate to respiratory capacity of mussels.

Identification of progressive pulmonary fibrosis: consensus findings from a modified Delphi study.

National Jewish Health, Denver, USA.
Background: We sought consensus among practising respiratory physicians on the prediction, identification and monitoring of progression in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) using a modified Delphi process.
Methods: Following a literature review, statements on the prediction, identification and monitoring of progression of ILD were developed by a panel of physicians with specialist expertise. Practising respiratory physicians were sent a survey asking them to indicate their level of agreement with these statements on a binary scale or 7-point Likert scale (- 3 to 3), or to select answers from a list.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemia, the imaging test of choice to diagnose COVID-19 pneumonia as chest computed tomography (CT). However, access was limited in the hospital setting and patients treated in Primary Care (PC) could only access the chest x-ray as an imaging test. Several scientific articles that demonstrated the sensitivity of lung ultrasound, being superior to chest x-ray [Cleverley J et al.

The standard values of lung function parameters obtained from Western populations do not agree with that of the people of Bangladesh. The study aimed to establish valid and up-to-date spirometry predictive values for the general population in Bangladesh. This cross-sectional observational study was conducted over six months from February 2020 to July 2020 in the Department of Respiratory medicine of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Bangladesh.

Air quality is a major concern for human health, with pollutants linked to respiratory problems and chronic illnesses. Air quality monitoring systems are essential for measuring and tracking pollutants in indoor and outdoor environments. In the various disciplines of fuzzy environments, the aggregation operators are indispensable components of the decision-making process and possess a significant capacity to manage unpredictable and ambiguous data.
