Summary: In electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), the two-handed technique assisted by pressure-controlled ventilation is an effective and practical method for hyperventilation to induce adequate therapeutic seizures. In contrast, the one-handed technique results in more mask leaks and cardiovascular stress.

Summary: Humans experience hyperventilation under heat and cold strain. The carotid body, which regulates ventilation, plays a crucial role in thermally mediated hyperventilation. The study found that carotid body activity and sensitivity increase in a dose-dependent manner with heating, while cold stress only saturates the effect of carotid body activity. This suggests that carotid body likely contributes to heat-induced hyperventilation.

Summary: Physical activity is the most common source of heat strain for humans, and the mechanisms underlying heat-induced hyperventilation during exercise are still unknown. This study provides evidence that carotid body hyperexcitability is the primary cause of heat-induced hyperventilation during exercise, and the activation and sensitization of the carotid body by heat strain largely explain the increased drive to breathe.

Summary: Hyperventilation is a commonly used therapy for intracranial hypertension in traumatic brain injury patients, by promoting hypocapnia to reduce cerebral blood flow and volume temporarily. However, it can have serious systemic and cerebral deleterious effects, so routine use is not recommended. In specific conditions like refractory ICHT, it can be an effective life-saving rescue therapy.

Summary: The study found that hyperventilation during hypoxia has a long-lasting and dose-dependent effect on pilots' ILS flight performance, even when hypoxia emergency procedures are executed 10 minutes earlier. Hyperventilation leads to the loss of carbon dioxide and hypocapnia, which may worsen the hangover effects of hypoxia.

Summary: The RESPICOVID study evaluated pulmonary damage in patients previously hospitalized for interstitial pneumonia due to COVID-19. Hypocapnia, characterized by lower PaCO2 levels, was associated with residual lung function impairment. K-CO was directly correlated with PaCO2.

Summary: This study used near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to monitor changes in cerebral oxygen saturation during hyperventilation and found that a decrease in end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) greater than 26% can predict changes in oxygen saturation. An increase in respiratory rate alone cannot accurately predict the occurrence of a cerebral vasoconstrictor response induced by hyperventilation.

Summary: Hyperventilation has a long history of association with seizures and is commonly used in clinical practice to assist with the diagnosis of epilepsy. It can activate epileptiform spiking activity more often than seizures, but its triggering effects vary depending on patient and epilepsy types.

Summary: Based on the study of 30 patients with treatment-refractory depression, it was found that serum BDNF levels do not seem to be a reliable biomarker to determine the antidepressant effects of ketamine as an anaesthesia in ECT. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: Assessing inorganic phosphate levels is crucial for understanding the biochemical state of organisms or tissues. Blood phosphate levels are not a reliable indicator of tissue levels, making tissue biopsy the dominant method for assessment. This study aimed to find a non-invasive biomarker for tissue phosphate levels and discovered a significant correlation between the amplitude ratio of low frequency and high frequency bands in electromyography signals and relative phosphate levels. These findings could lead to the development of a real-time measurement procedure for phosphate fluctuations.

Summary: This article discusses the impact of carbon dioxide on cerebral blood flow and other physiological parameters of the body, emphasizing the importance of maintaining normal carbon dioxide partial pressure in acute brain injury, as well as the risks of hypercapnia and hypocapnia. It suggests avoiding excessive hypo- and hypercapnia during treatment.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of chronic hypoxaemia on cerebral tissue oxygenation and cerebrovascular reactivity in high-altitude residents. The results showed that within 5 years, cerebral tissue oxygenation was preserved despite a decrease in arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2), possibly due to a reduced response of cerebral blood volume to hypocapnia.

Summary: Non-remitted patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) exhibited lower functionality and quality of life compared to controls, indicating a partial relationship between depressive symptoms and functionality and quality of life; cortisol measures did not differ between remitted and non-remitted patients; while hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis measures and depression remission status were not consistently associated with functionality or quality of life, they moderated the effects of childhood maltreatment on functionality and quality of life.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy and tolerability of pharmacotherapy plus maintenance ECT versus pharmacotherapy alone in preventing MDD relapse. The results showed a lower relapse rate in the M-Pharm/ECT group at nine months compared to the M-Pharm group, but there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups. Subjects without psychotic features were at higher risk of relapse.
