Low oxygen levels in the heart have long been known to produce life-threatening arrhythmias, even sudden death. Until now, it has not been clear how. "Our research shows that within seconds, at low levels of oxygen (hypoxia), a protein called small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) is linked...

However, current estimates for atmospheric oxygen (O 2 ) levels during the billion years leading up to this time vary widely. On the basis of chromium (Cr) isotope data from a suite of Proterozoic sediments from China, Australia, and North America, interpreted in the context of data from ...
Children with epiglottitis and airway restriction may drool and mainly breathe by mouth Common signs and symptoms of hypoxemia Hypoxemia specifically refers to low oxygen levels in the blood, which can lead to the following symptoms: Shortness of breath (dyspnea): This is often the most prominent...
“Immature red blood cells reside in the bone marrow and we do not normally see them in blood circulation,” explained Elahi, who is also a member of the Women and Children’s Health Research Institute and the Cancer Research Institute of Northern Alberta. “This ...
Low oxygen levels in the heart have long been known to produce life-threatening arrhythmias, even sudden death. Until now, it was not clear how. New findings, in a study led by Steve A. N. Goldstein, MD, Ph.D., vice chancellor for Health Affairs at the University of California, Irvine...
Neonatologists have also long recognized that lung development is incomplete in very premature babies. The babies have poor lung function, and the brain centers that control the infants' breathing are not fully mature. These factors raise their risk for drops in blood oxygen and subsequent brain ...
The study couldn't prove cause and effect. But patients who were vitamin D-sufficient -- a blood level of at least 30 nanograms per milliliter -- had a significantly lower risk for serious complications from COVID-19, including losing consciousness, low blood oxygen levels and death. ...
in 100% nitrogen or low oxygen levels and at different relative humidities. Rots were controlled by 6976% relative humidity (R.H.) but at 8692% R.H. considerable fungal rotting was evident after 20 days of storage. Superficial discoloration of the skin occurred on green tomatoes stored in ...
blood clotting, atheroma formation, etc. [2,3,4]. It is currently thought that OxPLs play a mainly toxic and proinflammatory role in disease, although they can also activate selected anti-inflammatory mechanisms [5,6,7]. In recent years, the interest in OxPLs has been boosted by the deve...
