Introduction: The first wave of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic created havoc and confusion in choosing appropriate treatment, as well as prophylaxis, due to its rapid surge, disease novelty,...

Juxtapulmonary receptors (J) lying in the lung parenchyma are stimulated naturally by any condition that produces interstitial oedema, transient increases in interstitial volume and pressure or raised pulmonary capillary pressure....

Background: In Eisenmenger syndrome (ES), oral phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors, which are preferential pulmonary vasodilators, reduce the elevated pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance index by increasing cyclic guanosine monophosphate...

Juxta-pulmonary capillary (J or pulmonary C fiber) receptors are stimulated by an increase in pulmonary blood flow and give rise to respiratory acceleration and related sensations and inhibit exercise. However,...

In 15 healthy subjects, the effect of 60 mg oral codeine and placebo was examined on intravenously injected lobeline-elicited respiratory reflexes and sensations. Its influence was also studied on ventilation...

Using a physiological model of acutely increasing venous return into the lungs, i.e. by applying and then releasing lower body negative pressure (LBNP) to mimic the natural stimulus of juxtapulmonary...
