Filter by:The main aim of this pilot study was to examine the effect of diaphragmatic breathing exercise on urinary incontinence treatment. The secondary purpose was to compare the effect of pelvic floor muscle exercises and diaphragmatic breathing exercises on urinary incontinence women. Design: Participants were randomized into two groups: pelvic floor muscle exercises (Group PFM n=20) and diaphragmatic breathing exercises (Group DB n=20). Exercise programs consisted of 1 set of contractions per day and each set included 30 repetitions for 6 weeks. Women were asked to complete forms of Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) and the Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), Incontinence Quality of Life (I-QOL), and Overactive Bladder (OAB-V3) before starting the program and again at the end of the 6-week program. Changes from baseline were compared in both groups and between the two groups.
Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) is a rare but severe subtype of stroke with high mortality and morbidity. Besides rebleeding, delayed cerebral ischaemia and cerebral vasospasm (CVS) are thought to be major reasons for the poor outcome in survivors of aSAH. Despite advances in the detection and treatment of CVS 20-40% of CVS patients experience cerebral Ischaemia. Experimental animal studies for ischaemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, and SAH showed that inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) selectively dilates cerebral arteries and arterioles in hypoperfused brain tissue. The investigators therefore performed this prospective pilot study to evaluate the effects of iNO on cerebral perfusion in patients with refractory vasospasm after aSAH.
This study focused on improving breathing mechanics by using various osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT) techniques. The investigators randomly assigned participants to a control group who received sham treatment and a treatment group who received OMT. The investigators measured variable pre- and post- treatment on both groups. The investigators observed an improvement in breathing mechanics in the treatment group.
Particulate matter exposure during smoke inhalation provokes inflammatory immune responses in people exposed to burning biomass including fire fighters and civilians. Persistent occupational exposure to particulate matter represents a unique hazard for firefighters, underpinning a burgeoning research area. This trial will evaluate the effects of sleep deprivation and circadian rhythm disruption on the inflammatory response to woodsmoke associated particulate matter exposure. Participants will undergo 2 experimental trials in a randomized cross-over design. Participants will have either an 8-hour sleep opportunity or a 4-hour sleep opportunity prior to reporting to lab for a 45 minute simulated firefighting trial (wood smoke associated particulate matter filtered to 2.5 um at a concentration of 250 ug/m^3, while exercising at a moderate intensity). The effects of sleep restriction and simulated firefighting will be measured.
Forty-six endurance runners, 23 males (age = 16.4±1.1) and 23 females (age=16.8±1.1) participated in our study. The contribution of abdominal, thoracic, and subclavian musculature to respiration and ventilation parameters during three different intensities on a cycle ergometer was assessed pre- and post-intervention.
The disease burden of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is growing rapidly, and multiple complications have been reported including cardiopulmonary and high fall risk which declines the overall quality of life. IMT can be useful technique to improve the physical and functional performance, reduce the severity of complications and enable the individuals to become active members of community. The current study is intended to evaluate the dual effects of IMT on postural stability and pulmonary function of diabetic patients.
This is a single site, open label, 4-inhalation sessions, explorative clinical investigation to investigate the ability of PreciseInhale to direct regional lung targeting and reduce the degree of throat deposition and subsequent gastrointestinal absorption of test drug substances in healthy volunteers after inhalation of test drug substances via the PreciseInhale system. The study will include a screening visit, 8 consecutive treatment visits and a follow-up telephone call 3-5 days after the last inhalation session. There will be a screening period of up to 35 days and an at least 1-week washout between treatments.
1. To determine the Effects of combined pursed lip breathing with diaphragmatic breathing on pulmonary functions in patient with COPD. 2. To determine the different durations of combined pursed lip breathing with diaphragmatic breathing on Pulmonary functions in patient with COPD. 3. To determine the Effects of combined pursed lip breathing with diaphragmatic breathing on quality of life in patient with COPD
The study is designed to compare the effects of blow bottle technique and interdigital exercises on the pulmonary functions of the post laparotomy patients where there is sudden decline in lung function and increased rate of complications after the surgery. A randomized control trial was conducted including post laparotomy patients, randomly allocated to interventional and control groups. Both the groups received breathing exercises along with conventional treatment during phase I rehabilitation. Data was collected at baseline, before and after every session and after 6 sessions before patient discharge from hospital. Outcome measures include assessment of lung volumes and capacities, oxygen saturation and vitals of the post laparotomy patients
This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of single and multiple inhaled doses of imatinib inhalation solution (AER-901) in healthy adult volunteers. This study consists of 3 parts and an optional fourth part.
