Abstract
After COVID-19, a number of patients report long-lasting dyspnea and chronic fatigue that are not sufficiently explained by peripheral organ dysfunction. Those symptoms can be severely impairing and frequently lead to increased health care consultation. To investigate their cause, we implemented a standard rebreathing paradigm developed at the KU Leuven (Belgium). Here, we describe an improved, simplified experimental setup, its validation and comparison with data obtained previously in healthy participants. The set-up comprises a capnograph, pneumotachograph and rebreathing bag behind a visual barrier connected to a two-way-valve for single-blinded switching of the source of breathing between room air and rebreathing bag. We compared the course of minute ventilation and end-tidal CO2 concentration of healthy participants from our study (N=25) with data from healthy participants published by Bogaerts et al. (2010) and Van den Houte et al. (2018). The observed changes in minute ventilation correlated with those reported by Bogaerts (r=0.834; p=0.001) and Van den Houte (r=0.857; p<0.001). The same was true for the course of end-tidal CO2 reported by Bogaerts (r=0.962; p<0.001) and Van den Houte (r=0.966; p=0.001). In conclusion, our findings validate the improved setup for the rebreathing paradigm. This is essential for its diagnostic use, which is already providing first hints on specific alterations and relationships between breathing and perception in patients with long-lasting symptoms after COVID-19.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
