Unlabelled: 32 patients (15 men, 17 women) of between 15 and 28 years of age were examined in a prospective study using a staged histamine test and a running test. A special anamnesis was prepared. Following a methodic preliminary examination two methods of the exercise test were compared with one another in 16 patients based on running freely and on the endless tape ergometer-in the form of a two-stage test with measurement of the heart rate. An anamnestic pointer was seen in each of 7 patients with pronounced bronchial hyperreactivity; in moderate hyperreactivity only 1 out of 9 patients had an anamnestic pointer. In 29 of 43 patients, anamnesis and the result of the exercise test agreed. Of 9 patients with exercise induced asthma, 3 had moderate hyperreactivity and 6 a very pronounced one. Free run and two-stage test on the endless tape yield the same result in respect of exercise induced asthma in all 16 patients.
Conclusions: 1. Anamnesis has a good predictive value in respect to exercise induced asthma. 2. This is confirmed: no exercise induced asthma without bronchial hyperreactivity, but the former is not necessarily always a sequence of the latter. 3. It is possible to standardise the running test on the endless tape with definite load and estimation of the efficiency; however, the simple running test in which the patient adjusts the load in accordance with his subjective feeling, is equally valid for arriving at a clinical diagnosis of exercise induced asthma.

Background: European guidelines recommend initial monotherapy in PAH patients with cardiovascular (CV) comorbidities based on the limited of evidence for combination therapy in this growing population.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on incident PAH patients enrolled in the French Pulmonary Hypertension Registry between 2009 and 2020. Propensity score matching was used to investigate initial dual oral combination therapy oral monotherapy in patients with at least one CV comorbidity (, hypertension, obesity, diabetes and coronary artery disease).

Aging is a multifaceted biological process characterized by a progressive decline in physiological functions and heightened vulnerability to diseases, shaped by genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Among these, cold exposure has garnered interest for its potential anti-aging benefits. This review examines the impact of cold exposure on aging, focusing on key physiological processes such as inflammation, oxidative stress, metabolic regulation, and cardiovascular health.

The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of synthetic thiol-modified hyaluronic acid (HASH) on the gelation properties of ginkgo seed protein isolate (GSPI) under non-oxidizing (NOX) or oxidizing (OX) conditions. Under NOX conditions, HASH mediated the disruption of disulfide bonds, leading to a dose-dependent dissociation of GSPI. Conversely, in OX conditions, hydroxyl radical-induced oxidation facilitated the formation of interprotein disulfide bonds.

Aging is known to cause increased comorbidities associated with cardiovascular decline. Physical exercises were known to be an effective intervention for the age-associated decline in cardiac function. Exercise caused physiological hypertrophy influenced by Yap/Taz, autophagy and myosin heavy chain (MHC) dynamics.

Background: Research on long COVID in China is limited, particularly in terms of large-sample epidemiological data and the effects of recent SARS-CoV-2 sub-variants. China provides an ideal study environment owing to its large infection base, high vaccine coverage, and stringent pre-pandemic measures.
Methods: This retrospective study used an online questionnaire to investigate SARS-CoV-2 infection status and long COVID symptoms among 74,075 Chinese residents over one year.
