Filter by:forty quarry workers participated in the study with age range (40-60 years), body mass index (BMI) from 25 to 34.9 kg/m2 (over weight and class 1 obesity). The patients divided into two groups randomly. (Group A) received aerobic exercises (Group B) receive aerobic exercises with moderate intensity in the form of walking on electrical treadmill for 30 min and inspiratory muscle training for 10 minutes., 3 sessions per week for 8 consecutive weeks. Pulmonary function test was applied by spirometry to assess lung function
The goal of this cross-sectional observational study is to estimate the prevalence of lung function impairment as measured by spirometry in a population of Gambian women aged 15 and older. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - What is the prevalence of lung function impairment in Gambian women - What is the prevalence of eosinophilic inflammation in Gambian women Consenting participants will undergo - Spirometry - Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) testing - α1-antitrypsin testing in patients with lung function impairment as assessed by spirometry
To evaluate efficacy of CPAP Therapy on Pulmonary Function Test in Patients With COPD-OSA Overlap Syndrome
This study will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a household-based clean air intervention
COVID-19 is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. CKD requires particular emphasis during the pandemic due to concern for increased susceptibility to infection from greater use of health facilities in people undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. COVID-19 due to SARS-CoV-2 involves multiple organs and lung injury is one of the most clinical manifestations. The binding of SARS-CoV-2 to the ACE2 receptors at target cells ,including type II pneumocytes ,and alveolar macrophages in the lung could arise into acute systemic inflammatory responses and cytokine storm.The consequentially leading to lung-resident dentritic cells (rDCs) activation, T lymphocytes production and release antiviral cytokines into the alveolar septa and interstitial compartments resulting in diffuse alveolar epithelium destruction,hyaline membrane formation, alveolar septal fibrous proliferation and pulmonary fibrosis.Although it has been reported that subgroups of COVID-19 survivors developed persistent lung parenchymal injury that persisted at least after 6 months 5-6 ,the data in CKD patients has not been reported yet.In addition, a study of pulmonary function test after COVID-19 is needed to be investigated.Thus,we plan to assess pulmonary sequalae of COVID-19 in hemodialysis (HD) patients and pulmonary function test after recovered of infection at least 3 months.
Cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are the first and third cause of death, respectively. Cardiovascular risk is known to increase in groups with impaired lung function; however, the mechanisms behind this association are not fully understood. The aim of CaReS is to elucidate the shared pathophysiology of impaired lung function and cardiovascular risk, and to investigate the risk factors associated with them. The CaReS Cohort Study includes adults (18-80 years old) from Cartagena de Indias, a tropical city on Colombian Caribbean Coast, where recent population admixture settled a three-hybrid genetic structure (European, African and Ameridian ancestry). At baseline, the cohort will generate extensive data on -omics (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics), socio-economic wellbeing, lifestyle, medical history, cardiometabolic, inflammatory and liver function markers, as well as objective measures of ventilatory and cardiovascular performance. The cohort will collect data every three years, for a total period of ten years. Prospective risk of cardiovascular disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) will be investigated, and their risk factors. Throughout the study period, changes in prevalence, and interactions of various risk factors with these changes will also be ascertained. A predictive risk score for cardiovascular and chronic respiratory disability will be built, using cross-sectional and longitudinal data.
This study will determine if airway resistance to airflow and pressure, measured by Impulse Oscillometry, is impacted in subjects with vocal cord disorders and whether these measurements are different when compared to subjects with asthma.
The latest data indicate that post COVID-19 condition is frequent in children and adolescents, with the most common symptoms being fatigue, shortness of breath, exercise intolerance and weakness. Evidence that COVID-19 can have significant long-term effects on children's health highlights the need for measures to reduce the impact of the pandemic on children, ensuring that they receive appropriate treatments. Those experiencing post COVID-19 condition require more tailored exercise-related advice and improved support to be able to resume activities important to their individual well-being. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have yet addressed the issue of exercise programs for children with post COVID-19 condition. The aim of this study, therefore, is to evaluate the effectiveness of different interventions on pulmonary function, exercise capacity, fatigue and quality of life in children with post COVID-19 condition. This will be a randomized controlled study with pre and post intervention assessment. Children will be recruited from primary schools and primary health care units in Warsaw. Participants meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomized to one of 3 groups: water-based exercise, land-based exercise or control (no exercise). The water-based and land-based exercise groups will be held twice a week, 45 min per session for 8 weeks. Participants will be assessed at baseline and immediately post-intervention in terms of changes in pulmonary function, exercise capacity, fatigue and quality of life. Research outcomes will build the evidence-based practice for health professionals.
This study will determine if resistance of the airway to airflow and pressure, measured by Impulse Oscillometry, is impacted by a deep breathe maneuver in a small cohort of healthy human subjects.
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented considerable challenges to global health services and dictates almost every aspect of medical practice and policy. The menopausal transition may have significant consequences for respiratory health as COVID 19 symptoms subsides, lung function testing should be done to assess the consequences of this virus on lung health especially in menopausal woman.
