Overview The Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device (ROBD) was originally patented by the U.S. Navy as a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional hypoxia training. When it came time to commercialize and scale the prototype, the Navy partnered with Environics—recognizing their expertise in gas delivery and simulation systems. Together, they developed the ROBD2: a purpose-built solution that ...
In preclinical respiratory studies, traditional methods like plethysmography often require animal restraint and extensive acclimation, limiting their ability to capture dynamic respiratory changes. To overcome these challenges, IPS Therapeutique Inc. validated a novel telemetry-based technique for continuous monitoring of intrapleural pressure and respiratory patterns in conscious, freely ...
Glycolysis or oxidative phosphorylation? Energy production is a cellular response to the demand for energy. Therefore, cellular ATP production varies depending on the state of the cell and the surrounding environment. Currently, cells rely on two main pathways, glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), to produce ATP. The proportion of these two energy-producing pathways in cellular ...
Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) remains a critical concern in epilepsy management, with the underlying mechanisms still not fully understood. Recent research from Iyer, S., et al (2024) has highlighted the role of respiratory dysfunction in SUDEP, particularly involving the orexinergic system in the brain. This blog delves into a fascinating study that investigates how altered ...
In the field of aviation and aerospace research, it’s crucial to understand how low-pressure, high-altitude conditions affect the human body. These studies can help ensure the safety and efficiency of flight and space crew selection and ...
Over the course of time, humankind has been continuously searching for methods to remain young, preserve their health and become more and more efficient in all aspects of their existence. Especially nowadays, in the fast-paced world that we all live in, it is important to maintain a balanced lifestyle and to prioritize the health of our bodies and minds. But do you really have the time to ...
Abstract Transplantation of pancreatic islets has been shown to be effective, in some patients, for the long-term treatment of type 1 diabetes. However, transplantation of islets into either the portal vein or the subcutaneous space can be limited by insufficient oxygen transfer, leading to islet loss. Furthermore, oxygen diffusion limitations can be magnified when islet numbers are increased ...
Shaquille O’Neal: Sleep Apnea Shaquille O’Neal, also known as Shaq, is an NBA basketball player who played as a center throughout his career with six different teams and has been inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame. Born in Newark, NJ, Shaq started to play basketball at the Boys and Girls club and went to Louisiana State University. Now retired, Shaq works as a spokesman for brands ...
Background Esophagectomy for cancer involves two- or three-phase procedures, such as abdominal, chest and/or neck incisions, is more invasive than other types of gastrointestinal surgery, and is associated with high risk for postoperative morbidity. Because of this risk, perioperative management of circulatory conditions such as hypovolemic hypotension is especially important to avoid ...
The defence industry requires advanced technology and solutions for the unique, and often extreme conditions, in which people work. The military conducts scientific and technological research and officer training in high altitude environments with low oxygen levels. Thus, reduced oxygen delivery devices are necessary and widely used by various branches of the military, including the Air Force, ...
Latest patents expand near infrared platform capabilities related to trauma and stroke diagnosis InfraScan, a medical device firm specializing in brain injury and stroke diagnostic products, announced today the issuance by the US Patent Office of three additional patents that cover internal bleeding, brain trauma and stroke detection technologies. The first patent for invention number US ...
Clinical analysis of 25 novel coronavirus pneumonia deaths:asphyxia due to pulmonary mucus Pengpai news reporter Wu Yi Pengpai news ,February 29 On February 25, MedRxiv published a paper from Wuhan University People's Hospital, Clinical characteristics of 25 death cases infected with COVID-19 pneumonia: a retrospective review of medical records in a single medical center, Wuhan, China. The ...
The Hospital of the Sisters of Mercy in Prague Puts its Trust in Self-Generated Oxygen Medical oxygen is used to treat patients in many areas at the Hospital of the Sisters of Mercy. For example, oxygen is used in a number of operating theatres and to treat hypoxia in drug addicts in the Czech Republic‘s only detoxification centre. Two oxygen generators made by the German company INMATEC ...
A prematurely aged brain has suffered years of abuse from our ever-increasingly toxic environment and unhealthy lifestyles. There is extensive research that shows HBOT may have an effect in rejuvenating a patient’s brain by stimulating the production of new blood vessels. Increased oxygen in the blood flow will re-energize dormant cells in the brain and create new ones. Oxygen to ...
HBOT is a very effective adjunctive treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis procedures Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder that can affect the lining of the joints and cause painful swelling that will result in the erosion of bones and the deformation of joints, which aggravated, leads to physical disabilities. As an autoimmune disorder, rheumatoid arthritis ...
Abstract Class 1 plant hemoglobins (phytoglobins) are upregulated during low-oxygen stress and participate in metabolism and cell signaling via modulation of the levels of nitric oxide (NO). We studied the effects of overexpression and knockdown of the class 1 phytoglobin gene in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) under low-oxygen stress. The overexpression of phytoglobin reduced the amount of NO ...
Abstract A major criticism of all-in-one workstations (sometimes known as incubated workstations or incubated glove boxes) over using traditional incubators and biosafety cabinets for cell culture is that the exposure to excessive vibration will affect cell growth and adhesion. Here we tested the cells’ capabilities to attach in a Baker Ruskinn SCI-tive hypoxia workstation as compared to a ...

Estuarine fish in the northern Gulf of Mexico are annually exposed to hypoxic conditions. In addition to hypoxia, fish located throughout the northern Gulf of Mexico were potentially exposed to oil released during the Deepwater Horizon incident. Therefore; the interaction between oil exposure and hypoxia is worthy of investigation. To examine this interaction, we exposed adult and larval ...
Summary Hypoxia is defined as oxygen deficiency in cellular environments. Oxygen (O2) deficiency within in vivo environments is commonly linked to a wide range of co-morbidities, e.g., respiratory failure, Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and other life threatening ailments (Reference Section; 2, 6). However, certain cell types thrive in low-O2 environments. Angiogenesis and tumor progression ...

Abstract Hypoxia workstations are utilized by researchers who require stable and accurate low oxygen environments for their research. Oxygen, carbon dioxide, temperature and humidity are precisely controlled within the work area of the workstation to simulate an in vivo environment and create optimal conditions for the experiment. Hypoxia workstations are closed glove boxes. They allow air from ...
