Investigation of the Relationship Between Breath Retention Time and Blood Parameters in Stroke Patients
Conclusion: Partial oxygen and carbon dioxide pressures and blood elements in the blood affect the breath holding time. People with high blood storage capacity and carbon dioxide and oxygen capacity can hold their breath longer. As a result, we think that the higher the hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in the blood, the longer the breath holding time can increase.

Iron bioavailability and cardiopulmonary function during ascent to very high altitude
More than one hundred million people reside worldwide at altitudes in excess of 2500 m above sea level. In the millions more who sojourn at high altitude for recreational, occupational or military pursuits, hypobaric hypoxia drives physiological changes affecting the pulmonary circulation, haematocrit and right ventricle (RV) [1]. Coincident with these, maximal left ventricular (LV) stroke volume (SV) falls [2], with a reduction of 20% reported after a 2-week stay at 4300 m [3]. A rise in heart rate (HR) compensates at rest and during submaximal exercise but is insufficient during maximal intensity exercise, cons...

The prognostic value of Red cell distribution width(RDW) in acute pulmonary thromboembolism
Conclusion: High RDW level is associated with higher 30 and 90 days mortality rate in acute PT patients. This marker could be considered as a valuable prognostic factor in acute PE.
