Does high flow nasal oxygen generate positive airway pressure in adult volunteers?
This study has demonstrated that high flow nasal therapy is associated with the generation of significant positive airway pressure in volunteers. In conclusion there is a degree of CPAP generated with the HFN therapy, which is flow dependent and also dependent on whether the person is breathing with mouth open or closed.
AVE3085 prevents ADMA-induced endothelial dysfunction in coronary arteries. The protective effect of AVE3085 may be attributed to increased NO production resulting from enhanced eNOS activation, and decreased oxidative stress that involves inhibition of O (2) (.-) generation by eNOS recoupling. The present study suggested the therapeutic potential of AVE3085 in endothelial dysfunction in cardiovascular disorders.
