Article Abstract

Drought is a cyclical phenomenon in natural environments. During dehydration, stomatal closure is mainly regulated by abscisic acid (ABA) dynamics that limit transpiration in seed plants, but following rehydration, the mechanism of gas exchange recovery is still not clear. In this study, leaf water potential (ψ ), stomatal conductance (g ), leaf hydraulic conductance (K ), foliar ABA level, ethylene emission rate in response to dehydration and rehydration were investigated in four Caragana species with isohydric (Caragana spinosa and C. pruinosa) and anisohydric (C. intermedia and C. microphylla) traits. Two isohydric species with ABA-induced stomatal closure exhibited more sensitive g and K to decreasing ψ than two anisohydric species which exhibited a switch from ABA to water potential-driven stomatal closure during dehydration. Following rehydration, the recovery of gas exchange was not associated with a decrease in ABA level but was strongly limited by the degradation of the ethylene emission rate in all species. Furthermore, two anisohydric species with low drought-induced ethylene production exhibited more rapid recovery in gas exchange upon rehydration. Our results indicated that ethylene is a key factor regulating the drought-recovery ability in terms of gas exchange, which may shape species adaptation to drought and potential species distribution.

Mean Airway Pressure-An Informative but Overlooked Indicator of Mechanical Power.

Crit Care Explor

Mean airway pressure, a monitored variable continuously available on the modern ventilator, is the pressure measured at the airway opening averaged over the time needed to complete the entire respiratory cycle. Mean airway pressure is well recognized to connect three key physiologic processes in mechanical ventilation: physical stretch, cardiovascular dynamics, and pulmonary gas exchange. Although other parameters currently employed in adults to determine "safe" ventilation are undoubtedly valuable for daily practice, all have limitations for continuous monitoring of ventilation hazard.

Harlequin syndrome, also known as differential hypoxia (DH) or North-South syndrome, is a serious complication of femoro-femoral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO). Moreover, Harlequin syndrome is caused by competing flows between the retrograde oxygenated ECMO output and the anterograde ejection of poorly oxygenated blood from the native heart. In the setting of impaired pulmonary gas exchange, the addition of an Impella device (ECPELLA configuration), although beneficial for ventricular unloading and hemodynamic support, may further exacerbate this competition and precipitate DH.

In vitro simulation of rumen fermentation is critical for improving feed efficiency, assessing dietary interventions, and supporting methane mitigation strategies in ruminant production systems. However, existing fermentation platforms are often expensive, technically complex, or poorly suited for long-term microbial viability under near-rumen conditions-especially in resource-limited settings. This study presents the development and validation of a modular, low-cost engineered to replicate key physiological parameters of the rumen, including temperature control (39-40 °C), continuous buffering via artificial saliva infusion, anaerobic regulation, and simulated motility through mixing pumps.

Dissolved oxygen (DO) dramatically impacts the habitat use of many aquatic animals, particularly for air-breathing animals that rely on 'physical gills' for respiration while submerged. Invertebrates that use bubbles as physical gills directly uptake DO from the water for respiration. However, no vertebrate animals have yet been documented using physical gills.
