Background: To investigate changes in pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), blood indices, and myocardial microcirculation in rats returning from high altitude (HA) to moderate altitude (MA).
Methods: Forty 4-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups with ten rats in each group. One group was transported to the MA area (MA-group), and the other three groups were transported to HA (HA-group-A, HA-group-B, and HA-group-C).

We examined the interactive influence of hypoxia and exercise, and hypercapnia and exercise, on regional cerebral perfusion and sympathetic activation. Twenty healthy young adults (seven women) completed study trials including (1) rest in normoxia ( : ∼96%, : ∼36 mmHg), normocapnic hypoxia ( : ∼84%, : ∼36 mmHg), and normoxic hypercapnia ( : ∼98%, : ∼46 mmHg) and (2) unilateral rhythmic handgrip exercise (45% of maximal voluntary contraction at 1 Hz for 3 min) under the same gas conditions. Based on the exercising arm, blood flow in the contralateral internal carotid (ICA) and ipsilateral vertebral (VA) arteries, anterior and posterior cerebral O delivery ( ), and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) were measured in each trial.

Background: Despite the fervent scientific effort, a state-of-the art assessment of the different causes of hypoxemia (shunt, ventilation-perfusion mismatch, and diffusion limitation) in COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is currently lacking. In this study, the authors hypothesized a multifactorial genesis of hypoxemia and aimed to measure the relative contribution of each of the different mechanism and their relationship with the distribution of tissue and blood within the lung.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the authors prospectively enrolled 10 patients with COVID-19 ARDS who had been intubated for less than 7 days.

Objective: Symptomatic "non-acutely" occluded internal carotid artery (NAOICA) results in stroke, cognitive impairment, and hemicerebral atrophy through cerebral hypoperfusion and artery-to-artery embolism. Atherosclerosis is the main cause of NAOICA. Conventional one-stage endovascular recanalization showed effectiveness but was plagued by many challenges.

AF is an independent and strong predictor of long-term cognitive decline. However, the mechanism for this cognitive decline is difficult to define and likely multifactorial, leading to many different hypotheses. Examples include macro- or microvascular stroke events, biochemical changes to the blood-brain barrier related to anticoagulation, or hypo-hyperperfusion events.
