Filter by:The prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is high in individuals after a stroke. There are few studies evaluating the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in individuals with OSA and the findings regarding the possible effect on Apneia/Hipopneia Index (AHI) reduction are still controversial. This study will test the hypothesis that training of the inspiratory muscles is effective in improving severity of OSA, sleep quality and daytime sleepiness in individuals after stroke participating in a rehabilitation program. Methods: For this prospective, sigle blinded, randomized clinical trial, people after stroke will be randomly allocated into either experimental or control groups. The experimental group will undertake training of the inspiratory muscles with the PowerBreath Medic Plus regulated at 75% of the subjects' maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) values, five times/week over five weeks 5 sets of 5 repetitions with 1 set increasing each week. Both groups will participate in the rehabilitation program and will receive the same dose of physiotherapy, speech therapy and aerobic exercise sessions. At baseline and post intervention after the cessation of the interventions, researchers blinded to group allocations will collect all outcome measures. Study outcomes: Primary outcome will be OSA severity measured using the Apnea/Hypopnea Index (AHI). Secondary outcomes will include inspiratory endurance and pressure, functional independence, sleep quality and daytime sleepiness
This study will examine short breathing meditations paired with Fitbit technology in order to assess mindfulness and track physical activity. Measures including heart rate, physical activity, sleep patterns, as well as assessments of well-being and anxiety levels, will be examined.
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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of several manual therapy techniques on autonomic nervous system and to compare it with other groups in the study such as deep-slow breathing group and the control group. The measurements will take place right before and after the intervention to evaluate the effects of one single intervention.
Objective propose: to investigate the effect of home based breathing exercise and chest mobilization on the cardiorespiratory functional capacity of Covid-19 survivors with cardiovascular comorbidity. Breathing exercise and chest mobilization are proven to increase lung functional capacity in Covid-19 survivors. It is hypothesized that breathing exercise and chest mobilization in Covid-19 survivors will give benefits to Covid-19 survivors with cardiovascular disease.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of halogenated gases on sedation and analgesia, to describe the tolerance and to determine the risk factors for failure, in pediatric intensive care patients during prolonged sedation. This study will be based on the medical records of patients hospitalized between 2015 and 2020.
Although the progressive nature of pulmonary hypertension (PH), including the impairment of respiratory muscle function, studies have demonstrated beneficial effects of physical exercise on the functional limitations caused by the disease in this population, being an important collaborator to the conventional drug therapy.Respiratory muscle training (RMT) improves functional capacity and quality of life (QoL) in patients.A randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of this protocol on respiratory muscle strength and endurance, functional capacity. 18 subjects were allocated in 2 groups, group A was control group and group B was experimental group. Group A or Control group received deep breathing exercises. Group B received 30 minutes of IMT 6days weekly for 2 weeks by using a pressure threshold device. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in PAH. To evaluate effectiveness of IMT mouth pressure device ,functional capacity using 6 minute walking test (6MWT)health assessment via SF 36 questionnaire were used before and after training protocol.
This study will provide the evidence that during the postoperative period deep breathing exercise combined with physical training can positively influence the sleep duration and quality.

Investigators conducted a parallel-group, non-blinded, randomised control trial at the haemato-oncology unit of University Malaya Medical Centre, from 1st October 2019 to 31st May 2020. Patients included were ≥ 18 years, had histopathological diagnosis of haematological cancer, and fatigue score of ≥ 4 based on the fatigue subscale of Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS). Patients allocated to the intervention group received standard care plus a guided 30-minute mindful breathing session, while those in control group received standard care. The study outcomes include fatigue severity according to the fatigue subscale of ESAS, visual analogue scale of 0 - 10, and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Fatigue Scale Version 4, at minute 0 and minute 30.
MEX3B is an RNA-binding protein that is conserved in many animal species and has wide range of biological function. The MEX3B protein is deeply involved in the expression of various cytokines associated with the onset and exacerbation of several diseases such as inflammatory diseases, metabolic diseases, and malignant tumors. TAKC-02 is a nucleic acid medicine, antisense oligonucleotide, inhibits the MEX3B synthesis expected to have potential as new medication. This plans to evaluate the safety profile of the inhalation solution in order to develop TAKC-02 for severe asthma. The study is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase I study. The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple inhaled doses of TAKC-02 in healthy male subjects. The study is a Single Ascending Dose (Step 1) followed by a Multiple Comparative Dose (Step 2).
