The exact mechanism linking the systemic inflammatory response associated with sepsis to changes in lung function remains to be determined. In a human experimental model of inflammation, we investigated how acute systemic and local pulmonary inflammation affects ventilatory capacity and pulmonary gas exchange. Fifteen volunteers received Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) intravenously or endobronchially on two different study days. Blood samples were obtained hourly (t = 0-8 h) and spirometry was performed at baseline and after 8 h. Both interventions decreased ventilatory capacity compared to baseline (p < 0.01), and this was more pronounced after intravenous (forced expiratory volume in 1-s, FEV ; 0.6 L/12% reduction) compared to endobronchial (FEV ; 0.32 L/7% reduction) administration (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the alveolar-arterial oxygen difference increased after intravenous but not after endobronchial endotoxin. These findings indicate that pulmonary gas exchange is impaired to a greater extent during endotoxin-induced systemic inflammation than during endotoxin-induced local pulmonary inflammation.

Exercise testing in clinical context: Reference ranges for interpreting anaerobic threshold as an outcome for congenital heart disease patients.
Int J Cardiol Congenit Heart Dis

Background: Change in the oxygen consumption (VO) at the ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) is an important outcome in research studies of children with congenital heart disease (CHD). The range of values reported by different raters for any given VAT is needed to contextualize a change in VAT in intervention studies.
Methods: Sixty maximal cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPET) for CHD patients 8-21 years old were independently reviewed by six exercise physiologists and four pediatric cardiologists.
Oxygen uptake efficiency slope at anaerobic threshold can predict peak VO in adult congenital heart disease.

Introduction: Assessment of exercise capacity by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) is important for prognostication and preoperative assessment. Peak oxygen uptake (PVO) is used commonly, but can be challenging due to the difficulties of undertaking maximal CPET testing in this population. We explored whether oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) at ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT), the point during CPET at which OUES becomes strongly correlated with PVO, and is more reliably available from submaximal CPET, can predict PVO in adults with CHD.

Background: Wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt) is an infiltrative disease leading to restrictive cardiomyopathy. We aimed to characterise exercise capacity in ATTRwt and to identify predictors of cardiopulmonary fitness, focusing on echocardiographic and clinical parameters.
Methods: We studied 110 ATTRwt patients from a prospective single-centre registry (2020-2024) by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET).

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to explore the link between glycemic control and lung health using data from 5,610 participants in the NHANES survey from 2007-2012, focusing on respiratory symptoms and lung function tests.
- Results indicated that a 1% increase in blood glucose was negatively correlated with lung function, leading to reduced forced expiratory volume (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC), along with a higher risk of breathing difficulties and mortality for those with restrictive lung disease.
- Improved glycemic control was associated with early markers of lung damage, whereas poor control correlated with more severe lung dysfunction, emphasizing the importance of managing blood glucose levels for respiratory health.

Introduction: Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is characterised by brittle bones, severe skeletal deformities, low sleep quality, and restricted breathing. We aimed to distinguish how disease and obesity affect these results.
Methods: According to BMI, we considered four groups of peer adults (median age: 35.
