Primary Ideas 1. Unfavourable cardiovascular risk profiles are found in youth with low levels of cardiovascular fitness and high percentage of body fat. 2. High aerobic fitness is associated with a reduction in risk factors related to cardiovascular diseases. VO2max is a measure of the functional limit of cardio respiratory system and single most valid index of maximal exercise capacity. 3. Measurements of body weight (anthropometry) are used to reflect body fat in clinical settings as these measurements provide rapid and cheap way to estimate body fat. Second Article
Primary Ideas 1. Inhalation of nebulized furosemide has been shown to have a positive effect in healthy and sick patients (COPD ...) since it relieves dyspnea caused by exercise, compared to the relief provided by 0.9% saline solution. 2. The prevalence of adults with respiratory problems such as dyspnea is 10%, these difficulties limit patients to perform activities of daily living. For this
reason, it was proposed to use nebulized furosemide with other conventional methods to reduce that percentage. 3. The nebulized furosemide also acts on the nervous system and causes changes in the activity of lung stretch receptors, which provide information on the expansion of the lung through the vagus nerve, altering vagal pulmonary afferent activity thus relieving dyspnea.

Primary Ideas 1. Planar perfusion scintigraphy with albumin is used for pretreatment quantification of pulmonary perfusion in patients with lung cancer 2. We have introduced new three-dimensional methods that use special software for planar grammagraphy 3. For the quantification of the perfusion and ventilation of the lobes of the left lung with people of lung cancer presents an inclination and condensation depending on the lung that is more affected, where the difference is 2.0% for ventilation 4. It is important to determine and classify when using three-dimensional software methods with respect to flat grammagraphy Fourth Article

Quantify regional pulmonary ventilation in healthy volunteers and patients with severe asthma (both before and after thermoplasty) by using a combination of helium (He) Magnetic resonance imaging (MR) and computed tomography (CT) imaging will be used, with the intention of developing more effective image-guided treatments for obstructive lung diseases. MRI image of hyperpolarized gas can be used to quantify segments of ventilation defects before and after the therapies The procedure that is done to the patient is a bronchoscopy and the application of radio frequency (RF) heating. Smooth muscle tissue ablation in this way reduces exacerbations and increases the quality of life in a clinically and statistically significant way. Bronchial thermoplasty tests that were performed on patients showed better results. Fifth article
Primary Ideas
1. The rates of chest compressions (CC) and ventilations are both important metrics to control the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). 2. Capnography allows ventilation to be controlled, but DCs provided during CPR corrupt the capnogram and compromise the accuracy of automatic ventilation detectors. 3. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of an automatic algorithm based on the capnogram to detect ventilations and provide feedback on the rate of ventilation during CPR, specifically addressing the intervals where CCs are administered.
