This review explores forms of respiratory and autonomic plasticity, and associated outcome
measures, that are initiated by exposure to intermittent hypoxia. The review focuses primarily …

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a prevalent underdiagnosed disorder whose incidence
increases with age and weight. Uniquely characterised by frequent breathing interruptions …

Background: Central sleep apnea (CSA) is common among patients with heart failure and
has been strongly linked to adverse outcomes. However, progress toward improving …

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) has become a major worldwide public health
concern, given its global prevalence. It has clear links with multiple comorbidities and …

Widespread appreciation that neuroplasticity is an essential feature of the neural system
controlling breathing has emerged only in recent years. In this chapter, we focus on …

Cytokine storm refers to the overproduction of immune and inflammatory cells and their
proteins (cytokines)[interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-6] causing acute respiratory distress syndrome …

Objective. To test the hypothesis that an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid drug enhances
spinal motor plasticity induced by acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) in persons with chronic …

As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to be a multidimensional
threat to humanity, more evidence of neurological involvement associated with it has …

By employing a reductionistic (but not simplistic) approach using an established invertebrate
model system, the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis, we investigated whether (1) …

The ability to respond rapidly to changes in oxygen tension is critical for many forms of life.
Challenges to oxygen homeostasis, specifically in the contexts of evolutionary biology and …
