    Abstract The world is facing an explosive COVID-19 pandemic. Some cases rapidly develop deteriorating lung function, which causes deep hypoxaemia and requires urgent treatment. Many centres have started treating patients in the prone position, and oxygenation has improved considerably in some cases. Questions have been raised regarding the mechanisms behind this. The mini review provides some insights into the role of supine and prone body positions and summarises the latest understanding of the responsible mechanisms. The scope for discussion is outside the neonatal period and entirely based on experimental and clinical experiences related to adults. The human respiratory system is a complex interplay of many different variables. Therefore, this mini review has prioritised previous and ongoing research to find explanations based on three scientific areas: gravity, lung structure and fractal geometry and vascular regulation. It concludes that gravity is one of the variables responsible for ventilation/perfusion matching but in concert with lung structure and fractal geometry, ventilation and regulation of lung vascular tone. Since ventilation distribution does not change between supine and prone positions, the higher expression of nitric oxide in dorsal lung vessels than in ventral vessels is likely to be the most important mechanism behind enhanced oxygenation in the prone position.

    Abstract Background: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is one of the most important pathologic processes causing acute kidney injury. Human atrial natriuretic peptide (hANP) has various effects, including renal protection. The purpose of the present work was to study the effects of intrarenal angiotensin II (Ang II) and investigate the potential of hANP to prevent kidney injury.
    Materials and methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups as follows: (1) sham; (2) I/R (30 min of bilateral renal ischemia followed by 6 h reperfusion); and (3) I/R + hANP (I/R injury + continuous intravenous infusion of hANP at 0.025 μg/kg/min). After 6 h of reperfusion, both renal and plasma Ang II concentrations were measured. Urinary angiotensinogen and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin were measured before ischemia and 2, 4, and 6 h after reperfusion. To evaluate the renal-protective effects of hANP, serum creatinine was determined 6 and 24 h after reperfusion. In addition, mitochondrial oxygen consumption in kidney cortex was measured in the presence of Ang II and hANP.
    Results: Renal Ang II concentrations were 24.5 ± 3.9 and 14.2 ± 3.4 pg/mg renal weight in the I/R and I/R + hANP groups, respectively. Urinary angiotensinogen and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin excretions were elevated after I/R injury. Treatment with hANP significantly attenuated this effect after 4 and 6 h. Oxygen consumption in renal mitochondria increased with the addition of Ang II, which was also attenuated by hANP.
    Conclusions: Production of intrarenal Ang II was attenuated by hANP, indicating a potential to diminish renal I/R injury.

    Abstract The advent of oxygenic photosynthesis and the accumulation of oxygen in our atmosphere opened up new possibilities for the development of life on Earth. The availability of oxygen, the most capable electron acceptor on our planet, allowed the development of highly efficient energy production from oxidative phosphorylation, which shaped the evolutionary development of aerobic life forms from the first multicellular organisms to the vertebrates.

    Abstract Background: This investigation examined the possibility that the inhibitory effect of halothane on nonshivering thermogenesis (heat production) in brown adipocytes is not a universal effect of all anesthetic agents but related to the type of anesthetic.
    Methods: Brown adipocytes from hamster were isolated with a collagenase digestion method and incubated with anesthetic agents. The rate of oxygen consumption was measured with an oxygen electrode. The effect of clinically relevant (and higher) doses of anesthetics of different classes on basal and norepinephrine-induced thermogenesis (oxygen consumption) was tested.
    Results: Two distinct groups of anesthetics could be distinguished: thermogenesis inhibitors and noninhibitors. Thermogenesis inhibitors include volatile anesthetics such as halothane (IC(50), 1.1 mm), ether (IC(50), 20 mm), and chloroform (IC(50), 2.2 mm) (nominal concentrations), but also tribromoethanol (IC(50), 0.6 mm), all inducing inhibition of norepinephrine-induced thermogenesis without affecting the EC for norepinephrine. Thermogenesis noninhibitors include the nonvolatile anesthetics pentobarbital, propofol, ketamine, and urethane, the inhalation anesthetic nitrous oxide, and, notably, also the volatile nonanesthetics (nonimmobilizers) 1,2-dichlorohexafluorocyclobutane and 2,3-dichlorooctafluorobutane; none of these compounds had any effect on norepinephrine-induced thermogenesis at any concentration tested.
    Conclusions: There are two distinct classes of anesthetics with regard to effects on thermogenesis, thermogenesis inhibitors and thermogenesis noninhibitors. The results are important for the interpretation of studies in thermal biology in general; specifically, they indicate that conclusions concerning regulation of nonshivering thermogenesis during anesthesia depend on the type of anesthetic used. Of clinical importance is that the volatile anesthetics are inhibitory for nonshivering thermogenesis and thus for an alternative heat production when myorelaxants prevent shivering. As the distinction between thermogenesis inhibitors and thermogenesis noninhibitors corresponds to the distinction between volatile and nonvolatile anesthetics, it may be related to the mode of action of the volatile anesthetics.
