New research suggests that exposure to lower oxygen levels at high altitude may trigger biological changes that could benefit people living with diabetes.

A dangerously low oxygen level—usually below 92%—can cause shortness of breath, confusion, chest pain, or fainting. It’s often triggered by lung or heart conditions like COPD, asthma, or heart ...

A recent report out of Oregon State University paints a picture of how ocean oxygen levels have decreased in the Pacific Northwest over the years. The report found near-bottom levels of dissolved ...

Marine life receives its oxygen from warm water on the ocean's surface, but if there's no mixing with the colder water sitting below, then bottom-dwelling marine life, like lobsters, are unable to ...

Janay Reece came back home to Baltimore to join WJZ in August 2023. Before coming back to the Charm City, Janay was a morning anchor and reporter for WDBJ7 in Roanoke, VA. She joined the WDBJ7 morning ...

Oxygen is critical to life. When levels of oxygen change, it can have immediate and lasting impacts on a person's health.

A recent study explored one possible cause -- hyperoxia or high concentrations of oxygen given to such patients during surgery -- as opposed to doses more similar to air. The study concluded that ...

At altitudes over 2,400 metres, lack of oxygen — a condition called hypoxia — can cause acute mountain sickness. Incidence ...

Researchers Jeff Crooks and Stephany Garcia checked the minnow traps left at the murky mouth of the Tijuana River on a sunny October morning. They didn’t expect any catches. They haven’t had any for ...

This means that low blood oxygen levels may be missed in patients with darker skin tones, potentially delaying care, while patients with lighter skin tones may get unnecessary treatment. Pulse ...
