Filter by:In obese individuals, increased adipose tissue and systemic inflammation play a key role in the development of cardiometabolic diseases, pulmonary system dysfunction, and many respiratory diseases. Existing research has demonstrated beneficial clinical outcomes of inspiratory muscle training or combined aerobic and resistance exercise training in obese individuals. However, this focused on the isolated effects of exercise on obesity. In the current literature, no study is evaluating the effectiveness of functional inspiratory muscle training in obese individuals. This study aims to investigate the effects of functional inspiratory muscle training on body composition, cardiometabolic markers, functional capacity, respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength, and respiratory muscle performance in obese individuals.
The purpose of this study to evaluate the correlation between children and parental dental anxiety as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of breathing exercises on anxiety reduction.
Postoperative sleep disorders have serious problems with cognition, pain perception, sustained circadian rhythm, psychomotor function, metabolic function, catabolic responses, and continuity. The relationship between general anesthesia and sleep disturbances following surgery is still unclear. Since the risk of sleep disorders after surgery is high, it is important to determine the efficiency of the interval with automatic sleep disorders. By evaluating how major orthopedic surgery and general anesthesia applied to posterior spinal instrumentation divides sleep quality, risk management allows determining the factors involved in the peroperative period and thus facilitating surgical results and patient comfort.
This is a cross-sectional study to determine the optimal inspiratory muscle training (IMT) intensity for stroke survivors. Participants will breathe through a pressure threshold inspiratory loading device with varying loads in random order. Each IMT intensity protocol consists of 10 breaths. During the test, accessory inspiratory muscle activity will be measured with surface electromyography (sEMG) and diaphragm thickness will be used to assessed with ultrasonography. Repeated-measures ANOVA will be used for statistical analysis to determine the most effective training intensity for future study.
A total of 70 patients who underwent angiographic examination, ASD closure, VSD closure, PDA closure and aortic balloon dilatation were included in this study.
Hypothesis: BR's Gen3 DL algorithms, combined with its subxiphoid body sensor, can accurately diagnose OSA, categorize its severity, identify REM OSA and supine OSA, and detect central sleep apnea (CSA). Primary Objective: To rigorously evaluate the overall performance of the BR with Gen3 DL Algorithms and Subxiphoid Body Sensor in assessing SDB in individuals referred to the sleep labs with clinical suspicion of sleep apnea and a STOP-Bang score > 3, by comparing to the attended in-lab PSG, the gold standard. Secondary Objectives: To determine the accuracy of BR sleep stage parameters using the Gen3 DL algorithms by comparing to the in-lab PSG; To assess the accuracy of the BR arrhythmia detection algorithm; To assess the impact of CPAP on HRV (both time- and frequency-domain), delta HR, hypoxic burden, and PWADI during split night studies; To assess if any of the baseline HRV parameters (both time- and frequency-domain), delta heart rate (referred to as Delta HR), hypoxic burden, and pulse wave amplitude drop index (PWADI) or the change of these parameters may predict CPAP compliance; To evaluate the minimum duration of quality data necessary for BR to achieve OSA diagnosis; To examine the performance of OSA screening tools using OSA predictive AI models formulated by National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) and Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED).
An Open Label Study to Assess the Effect of Patient Use and Robustness of Tiotropium 18ug Inhalation Powder, Hard Capsule, Inhaler Device. Zephir inhaler robustness will be assessed by in vitro testing of the Zephir inhaler after 12 weeks of patient use
Patients' pulmonary functions and diffusion capacity worsen following lung cancer surgery. Diaphragmatic activity and lung compliance decrease due to surgery. Peripheral and respiratory muscle functions are impaired in patients with lung cancer, exercise capacity and physical activity level decreased. Patients have postural instability and balance problems. Inspiratory muscle training has increased inspiratory muscle strength in patients with lung cancer. However, there is no study investigating functional inspiratory muscle training in patients with lung cancer.
Lung cancer is with the highest incidence rate and mortality among people over 60 years old in China. Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) is the most common complication after pneumonectomy, which has a significant impact on the short-term and long-term prognosis of patients, and is even the primary risk factor leading to early postoperative death. High fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) is an independent risk factor for PPCs, but it is difficult to achieve oxygenation while avoiding hyperxemia during one lung ventilation (OLV). We will randomly divide elderly patients who plan to undergo thoracoscopic pulmonary resection into two groups. During OLV, titration will be used to determine the optimal FiO2 for titration group while FiO2 of 80% will be used for mechanical ventilation for control group. The incidence of postoperative PPCs, hypoxia/hyperxemia, oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) and intrapulmonary shunt rate (Qs/Qt), oxidative stress indicators, and prolonged hospital stay will be observed in both groups of patients. We will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of titrating inhaled oxygen concentration in lung protection during OLV.
Chronic bronchitis is a non-allergic, inflammatory disease that is developed because of inflamed bronchial walls, and, is characterized by persistent cough with sputum for 3 months for 2 consecutive years at least. It affects males more than females at the age of 40 years, with increasing incidence as the age progresses. Chronic bronchitis is associated with multiple health-related issues like; dyspnea, reduced lung volumes and capacities, poor quality of life, and physical inactivity. Its clinical manifestations are coped with using the pharmaceutical approach, surgical maneuvers, and pulmonary rehabilitation. In the context of pulmonary rehabilitation, pursed lip breathing and stacked breathing are evident to deal with symptoms of chronic bronchitis and make the individuals lead a physically active and healthy life. In this research study, patients will be enrolled with strict adherence to eligibility criteria and then allocated into two groups by using the convenience sampling technique after having their written informed consent form. The participants will either receive pursed lip breathing technique or a stacked breathing technique, which will be followed by baseline treatment at every session. Both groups will be then subjected to receive intervention that will take a duration of 40 minutes every session, 30 minutes of baseline treatment, and 10 minutes of intervention, for the period of 2 weeks with the frequency of performing the intervention thrice per day. The outcomes will be evaluated by using a modified Borg scale for dyspnea, a peak expiratory flow meter for lung volumes, a pulse oximeter for oxygenation, and EuroQol; 5D-5L for quality of life. Data will be recorded at pre-treatment, on the 1st day, and post-treatment, on the 14th day. The recorded data will be then entered and analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package of Social Sciences) version 23.
