Does chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia attenuate radiation induced heart damage in rats?
CIHH pretreatment alleviated radiation-induced damage of cardiac function and fibrosis. Such a protective effect was closely associated with suppression of oxidative stress and ERS responses.
Tracheostomy is unlikely in patients with incomplete SCI, regardless of the level of injury. Patients with complete SCI above C6 are likely to require tracheostomy.
