We investigated the time course of changes in post-exercise pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), membrane diffusing capacity (DM), and pulmonary capillary blood volume (VC) in highly trained (HT), moderately trained (MT) and untrained (UT) male subjects (n = 8/group). Subjects were assigned to groups based on their aerobic capacity from a preliminary VO2max test (HT > or = 65, MT = 50-60, UT < or = 50 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1)). Resting (BASE) DLCO, DM and VC were obtained, then subjects cycled to fatigue at the highest workrate attained during the preliminary tests. Diffusion measurements were then made at 1, 2, 4, 6 and 24 h. DLCO was depressed at 1 h, lowest at 6 h and approached BASE values at 24 h in all groups. The DLCO change was paralleled by a change in VC. Alterations to VC were similar between groups except at 24 h where MT and HT subjects had returned to BASE while UT did not. DM was significantly lower than BASE at 1, 2, 4, and 6 h, and was similar between groups. The changes in DLCO post-exercise appear to be primarily due to a decrease in VC. Comparable diffusion decrements were observed in all subjects. The results of this study suggest that post-exercise alterations in DLCO, DM and VC are not related to aerobic capacity.

Global demand for food has driven expansion and intensification of livestock production, particularly in developing nations where antibiotic use is often routine. Waste from poultry production, including manure, is commonly utilized as fertilizers in agroecosystems, risking environmental contamination with potentially zoonotic bacteria and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs). Here, 33 bacterial isolates were recovered from broiler (n=17) and layer (n=16) chicken manure by aerobic culture using Luria Bertani agar.

Immobilization of fragile enzymes is vital to expanding its application in the extracellular environment. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as a class of emerging porous materials, are promising platforms for enzyme immobilization owing to their high porosity and tunable structure. However, the interior pores of COFs often fail to play their roles because of inaccessibility, resulting in decreased performance of immobilized enzymes.

The objective of the current review was to identify whether clinically established lung function metrics of ventilatory and diffusion capacity obtained by standardised methodology are consistent with superior lung function in athletes, and whether this is related to maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O). Three independent reviewers performed a literature search in PubMed, Scopus, and reference screening. Data was extracted and analysed according to a predefined strategy.

P2-type NaMnNiO as the cathode for sodium-ion batteries, has a relatively high theoretical specific capacity, but its unstable crystal structure and undesirable phase transitions lead to rapid capacity decay. In this work, Mg-B-O coated NaMnNiO microspheres have been synthesized via a liquid-phase method based on solvothermal synthesized NaMnNiO. The Mg-B-O coating layer significantly improves the electrochemical performance, including specific capacity, rate capability, and cycle stability.

Introduction: A main feature of CDH is lung hypoplasia and the related presentation of pulmonary hypertension and cardiac dysfunction. Multiple factors influence pulmonary status after CDH: degree of hypoplasia, ventilator-induced injury, altered growth and development of pulmonary structures, reduced diaphragm function and chest wall abnormalities. The evolution of pulmonary sequela in this population is still unclear.
