Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of a training of the inspiratory muscles against resistance at home during 10 weeks in multiple sclerosis patients with a severe disability.
To assess the effectiveness of the Buteyko method as an adjunct therapy in the treatment of asthmatic children with mouth breathing.
The aim of the study is to estimate the prevalence of respiratory aspiration in patients with COPD, in a tertiary hospital of Buenos Aires.
This study has the aim to assess the effectiveness of the Buteyko method as an adjunct therapy in the treatment of children with asthma.
The purpose of this study was to support the selection of a safe and tolerable tobramycin inhalation powder (TIP) dose, and regimen that exhibits effective bacterial reduction of P. aeruginosa in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (BE) patients with P. aeruginosa colonization.
Smoking is an important public health issue. The self help books may have important motivational implications which associated with deep breath exercises could cease the habit. Goals: Verify the effectiveness of the deep breaths exercises from the self help books along with the two motivational interventions to quit smoking on the anxiety, depression and daily consumption levels. Method: The study will be both prospective and controlled. Individuals will be distributed randomly in 4 different groups: The first group will be doing the deep breath exercises, the second group will read a self help book, the third group will do both reading and exercises and the fourth group will be the control. Anxiety, depression, motivational level and the cigarettes daily consumption will be evaluated previously and after the 15 days intervention. Expected results: Decreasing in anxiety, depression and cigarette consumption plus an increase in the motivation to quit smoking.
The aim of this study is to assess if an intervention of manual therapy and motor control exercises combined with an inspiratory muscle training program is more effective than an inspiratory muscle training program alone in increasing the maximum inspiratory pressure in patients with asthma. In addition, the study pretends to evaluate the changes caused by the intervention regarding possible postural changes and thoracic diameter.
This is a single center pilot study evaluating the immediate effects of low-dose acetazolamide on respiratory control in subjects with treatment emergent sleep disordered breathing. The purpose of this study is to assess the immediate effect one-time low-dose acetazolamide on sleep breathing in (Treatment Emergent Sleep Disordered Breathing) TE-CSA subjects compared to subjects' baseline evaluation without acetazolamide. Investigators will also try to determine the immediate effect of one-time low-dose acetazolamide on subjects' resting ventilation and ventilatory response slope compared to subjects' baseline evaluation without acetazolamide.
Oral feeding of neonates while on nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is a common practice in many neonatal intensive care units (NICU) all over the country. However the safety of such practice has never been established. The Investigators hypothesize that mechanoreceptors, which should perceive sensory input from the liquid bolus, may be altered by the reception of pressurized airflow provided by the NCPAP, hence increase risk of aspiration. In this study, changes in the pharyngeal phase of swallowing were identified using video fluoroscopic swallow studies (VFSS) for infants while on NCPAP as compared to off NCPAP.
Surgery is one of the major treatment methods for patients with malignant tumor. And, alone with the ageing process, more and more elderly patients undergo surgery for malignant tumor. Evidence emerges that choice of anesthetics, i.e., either inhalational or intravenous anesthetics, may influence the outcome of elderly patients undergoing cancer surgery. From the point of view of immune function after surgery and invasiveness of malignant tumor cells, propofol intravenous anesthesia may be superior to inhalational anesthesia. However, the clinical significance of these effects remains unclear. Retrospective studies indicated that use of propofol intravenous anesthesia was associated higher long-term survival rate. Prospective studies exploring the effect of anesthetic choice on long-term survival in cancer surgery patients are urgently needed.
