Spectral parameters (SP) of heart rate variability (HRV) and a duration of cardiointervals (RR) in 14 healthy male volunteers at the age of 23-36 years under the influence of acute normobaric hypoxia by respiratory gas oxygen-nitrogen mixture (9% O2, 25 min) were studied. The 300 cardiocycles at each of six experimental time points by ECG at II standart lead were registered. The parameters before hypoxia were (M ± m): RR (s) 0.90 ± 0.03; SP powers (ms2) TP 13 553 ± 2789; VLF 3885 ± 902; LF 4724 ± 1062; HF 4945 ± 1165. All parameters were about 21-25% less as compared to background in the 5th min of hypoxia. The decreasing was about 17% (RR) and 34-38% (SP) in the 10th min of hypoxia. At the 20th min of hypoxia all parameters but RR were increased to the background level. At last after hypoxia in the 5th min parameters RR were at the background level, SP were to 1.5-2 times higher. In the 15th min all parameters returned to initial levels.

Background: Patient safety is important in daily anesthesia practices, and providing deep anesthesia is difficult. Current debates on the optimal anesthetic agents highlight the need for safer alternatives. This study was justified by the need for safer and more effective anesthetic protocols for outpatient hysteroscopic procedures, particularly those conducted outside the operating room.

Background: Tumour hypoxia resulting from inadequate perfusion is common in many solid tumours, including prostate cancer, and constitutes a major limiting factor in radiation therapy that contributes to treatment resistance. Emerging research in preclinical animal models indicates that exercise has the potential to enhance the efficacy of cancer treatment by modulating tumour perfusion and reducing hypoxia; however, evidence from randomised controlled trials is currently lacking. The 'Exercise medicine as adjunct therapy during RADIation for CAncer of the prostaTE' (ERADICATE) study is designed to investigate the impact of exercise on treatment response, tumour physiology, and adverse effects of treatment in prostate cancer patients undergoing external beam radiation therapy (EBRT).

Mitochondrial quality control is crucial for the homeostasis of the mitochondrial network. The balance between mitophagy and biogenesis is needed to reduce cerebral ischemia-induced cell death. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) represents an adaptation mechanism of CNS that increases tolerance to lethal cerebral ischemia.

Breath-hold diving performances are typically better in men than in women. However, it is still being determined if there are differences in the physiological responses to breath-holding between the sexes. We conducted a study comparing the maximum breath-hold duration, heart rate (HR) reduction, peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO), and spleen volume and contraction in 37 men and 44 women, all of whom had no prior breath-holding experience.

Total free thiols are an important marker of the whole-body redox state, which has been shown to be associated with clinical outcome in health and disease. Recent investigations have suggested that increased insight may be gained by monitoring alterations of redox state in response to exercise and hypoxia and to monitor redox trajectories in disease settings. However, conducting such studies is challenging due to the requirement for repeated venous blood sampling and intensive lab work.
