Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Although several cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) parameters have already proved to predict prognosis, there is increasing interest in finding variables that do not require maximal effort. End-tidal carbon dioxide pressure (PETCO2), an indirect indicator of cardiac output, is one of such variables. Studies in heart failure populations already suggest its role as a prognostic factor. However, data concerning other populations are still scarce. Purpose To assess the association between exercise PETCO2, cardiac biomarkers and systolic function following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to evaluate its potential prognostic role in this population. Methods A retrospective single-centre analysis was conducted including patients who underwent symptom-limited CPET early after AMI. We assessed PETCO2 at baseline (PETCO2-B), at anaerobic threshold (PETCO2-AT) and at peak exercise and calculated the difference between PETCO2-AT and PETCO2-B (PETCO2-difference). We analysed their association with B-natriuretic peptide (BNP), maximal troponin after AMI as well as with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 1 year after. Results We included 40 patients with a mean age of 56 years (87.5% male), assessed with CPET a median of 3 months after AMI (80% of which were ST-elevation myocardial infarctions). Average respiratory exchange ratio was 1,1 with 48% of patients not reaching maximal effort. Mean PETCO2-AT was 37mmHg, with a mean increase from baseline of 6mmHg (PETCO2-difference). There was a significant positive correlation between all the PETCO2 variables measured and BNP values at time of AMI and on follow-up (best correlation for PETCO2-AT with BNP at AMI hospitalization, r = 0.608, p < 0.001). Maximal troponin was not correlated with PETCO2. Both PETCO2-AT and PETCO2-difference were significantly and positively correlated with LVEF 1-year post-AMI (r = 0.421, p = 0.040 and r = 0.511, p = 0.011, respectively). Conclusion PETCO2-AT and PETCO2-difference are both correlated with BNP, an established prognostic marker, and with medium-term systolic function after AMI, suggesting their potential prognostic role in this population. Further studies with larger samples are required to confirm the results of this pilot study and assess PETCO2 as a definite predictor of prognosis after AMI.

To determine 1) the effect of arterial CO2 change on the neonatal cerebral circulation and 2) whether 100% O2 would produce significant decrease in cerebral blood flow (CBF), we studied 24 preterm infants to explain the late (5 min) hyperventilation observed in them during hyperoxia. Of these, 12 were studied before and during inhalation of 2-3% CO2 and 12 before and during the inhalation of 100% O2. We measured CBF by a modification of the venous occlusion plethysmography technique and found that CBF increased 7.8% per Torr alveolar carbon dioxide pressure change and that it decreased 15% with 100% O2. These findings suggest that 1) CO2 is an important regulator of CBF in the perterm infant, 2) CBF-CO2 sensitivity in these infants may be greater than in adult subjects, 3) 100% O2 reduced CBF significantly, and 4) a decrease in CBF during administration of 100% O2 may be at least partially responsible for the increase in ventilation with hyperoxia.

Research on scale inhibition is of importance to improve the heat transfer efficiency of heat exchangers. The combined effect of high voltage electrostatic and variable frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields on calcium carbonate precipitation was investigated, both theoretically and experimentally. Using energy dispersive spectrum analysis, the predominant phase was found to be CaCO3. The formed crystal phases mainly consist of calcite and aragonite, which is, in part, verified by theory. The results indicate that the setting of water flow velocity, and high voltage electrostatic and variable frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields is very important. Favorable values of these parameters can have a significant anti-scaling effect, with 68.95% of anti-scaling ratio for scale sample 13, while unfavorable values do not affect scale inhibition, but rather promoted fouling, such as scale sample 6. By using scanning electron microscopy analysis, when the anti-scaling ratio is positive, the particle size of scale was found to become smaller than that of untreated sample and the morphology became loose. The X-ray diffraction results verify that the good combined effect favors the appearance and growth of aragonite and restrains its transition to calcite. The mechanism for scale reduction is discussed.
