Breathing: Ambient Air Pollution and Health - Part II.
Authors: Schulz H, Karrasch S, Bölke G, Cyrys J, Hornberg C, Pickford R, Schneider A, Witt C, Hoffmann B Abstract The second part of the DGP-statement on adverse health effects of ambient air pollution provides an overview of the current ambient air quality in Germany and its development in the past 20 years. Further, effects of air pollution on the cardiovascular system und underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are introduced. Air pollutants form a highly complex and dynamic system of thousands of organic and inorganic components from natural and anthropogenic sources. The pollutants are produced locally or in...

Influence of ultra-endurance exercise on alveolar-capillary recruitment and lung diffusion
Conclusion: The data suggest a transient decrease in DLco following ultraendurance exercise is related to pulmonary de-recruitment; however, alveolar-capillary recruitment during low-intensity exercise remains relatively preserved.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is associated with lower short- and long-term mortality in patients with carbon monoxide poisoning.
CONCLUSIONS: HBOT is associated with a lower mortality rate in patients with COP, especially in those who were younger than 20 years and those with acute respiratory failure. The results provide important references for decision making in the treatment of COP. PMID: 28427969 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Change in cardiorespiratory fitness after lung resection is not related to the amount of lung tissue removed
Conclusion: The reduction in VO2peak following lung cancer surgery was 20±16%. However, this reduction cannot be explained by the loss of lung tissue, but appears to be caused by a decrease in the patients' cardiac function.
