This study was designed as a prospective and experimental study. Geriatric individuals (age ≥ 65 years) with COPD and non-COPD were included in the study. Training program was identical for both groups and consisted of 4 weeks of foundation IMT followed by 4 weeks of functional IMT. Respiratory muscle strength, symptoms, exercise capacity, balance, postural control, physical activity and quality of life were evaluated.
Introduction: Studies have shown the influence of exercise on sleep architecture and efficiency, although its protocols, procedures, effects and mechanisms of action have not been clearly explained and documented in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), which is thought to be the main sleep disorder due to its high prevalence and clinical, social and cognitive consequences. Objective: To evaluate the effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in OSAHS, by analyzing their influence on the quality of sleep, inspiratory muscle strength and polysomnography parameters. Patients and Methods: Controlled and randomized clinical trial involving 75 patients with OSAHS diagnosed by polysomnography. Measurements of maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) will be performed. Pittsburgh scale Epworth, Sleepiness Scale, Short Form-36, and Berlin / Stanford questionnaires will be used for assessment of sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, health related quality of life quality of health, and the evaluation of snoring. Patients of the intervention group will undergo IMT with an initial load of 40% of MIP. The intervention will be performed daily for 12 weeks employing the exercise inspiratory device (POWERbreathe, HaB Ltd, UK). The main end point will be the effect of the training program on the index of apnea/hypopnea (IAH) assessed by polysomnography. Secondary end points will include effects of the training program on: the quality of sleep, inspiratory muscle strength, the health related QOL. Expected Results: if the hypothesis is confirmed, there will be improvements on the apnea / hypopnea index, on the quality of sleep and on the health related QOL.
According to the WISDOM study, withdraw of inhaled steroids has no effect on the acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the lung function of patients with COPD is significantly reclined. In the subgroup analysis of this study, patients with COPD were found to have continued to use inhaled steroids in patients with eosinophilic leukocytes greater than 400 cells/ul or whom has more than two episodes of exacerbation per year. However, in SUNSET study, it was pointed out that withdraw of inhaled steroids had no effect on lung function in patients with COPD, but it was also found that in patients with COPD, eosinophilic leukocytes in the blood were greater than 300 cells/ul, have a better therapeutic response in steroid inhalation. In addition, some studies have shown that in patients with COPD, a decline in lung function after discontinuation of inhaled steroids can make the patient's clinical symptoms worse and increase the risk of acute exacerbations. However, in other comprehensive analytical studies, there are different outcomes. There is no statistically significant difference in the risk of acute exacerbation in patients with COPD after discontinuation of inhaled steroids. In past studies, it was noted that inhaled steroids cause an increased risk of pneumonia in patients with COPD. However, in these studies, the diagnosis of pneumonia was only from the clinician's suspicion without clear symptom assessment, laboratory examination, microbiological evidence or imaging assessment. Therefore, further research is needed to assess whether patients are suitable for the reduction of inhaled steroids and the impact of COPD in clinical treatment.
Different diseases worldwide have repercussions at the level of multiple systems; but without a doubt a higher prevalence in the cardiopulmonary system. When a patient is hospitalized, he enters a continuous and often prolonged rest stay. Wherein, this physical inactivity plus its base pathology negatively impact its lung capacity. And low lung capacity has been shown to increase the risk of mortality, hospital stay, and complications. That said, the use of the device known as the "incentive inspirometer" is important, which to some extent there is no standardization of its use or applicability in a structured and planned manner. For this reason, the Japer method emerges as an idea; which, pretending through an exercise prescription through the incentive inspirometer according to 50% to 80% of the maximum inspiring capacity of the patient, improves their inspiring capacity. Having said this, the general objective was to analyze the effects of the JaPer method to improve lung capacity versus the traditional use of an inspirometer in hospitalized patients.
The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of pranayama and deep breathing exercise in reducing fatigue and insomnia in patients receiving radiotherapy due to breast cancer. The randomized controlled interventional study was carried out with 60 patients divided into the pranayama (20), deep breathing exercise (20) and control group (20). Data were collected with the Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
The investigators will record 120 patients who received general anesthesia, their EEG data recorded from Bispectral Index (BIS) machine for emperical mode decomposition (EMD) analysis, the investigators decomposed EEG signal to different oscillations and tried to observe the differences between hypnotic medications through EEG analysis.
In light of the corona virus pandemic (COVID-19), there is critical need to conserve scarce mechanical ventilation (MV) resources. This study evaluates an intervention in non-infected cardiac patients as a means to assist with minimizing MV and ICU length of stay (LOS). Pre-op inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been shown to decrease pulmonary complications, MV dependence, and ICU LOS following thoracic surgery. The investigators aim to determine the mechanism of remodeling in diaphragms of adults who undergo pre-op IMT.
Subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently develop considerable deterioration in exercise capacity in association with weakness and deconditioning of the respiratory muscles, which can be corrected with specific therapies. While pulmonary rehabilitation is a central component in the rather complex manangement of COPD, there is currently a lack of centers able to provide appropriate rehabilitation services in the Czech Republic. The main objective of this study will be to fully evaluate the utility of the Test of Incremental Respiratory Endurance (TIRE) as an at-home inspiratory muscle training method in subjects with COPD, while comparing the effectiveness of this novel training approach to the outcomes of more traditional ispiratory muscle training protocols. This prospective, randomized controlled trial will include 2 treatment groups and 1 sham intervention group in a 1:1:1 ratio. All participants will undergo a certain type of IMT regardless of group assignment, which will be perfomed via two different devices. The trial will comprise of an 8-week at-home training period with remote supervision followed by 4 months of unsupervised, independent inspiratory muscle training. Study outcomes will include measures of inspiratory muscle strength and endurance, pulmonary function, COPD-specific symptomatology, functional exercise capacity, surrogate markers of mortality risk, mental health status and health-related quality of life of participants. While investigators acknowledge the value of standard inspiratory muscle training protocols which use Threshold devices, investigators believe that the TIRE training has the potential to provide additional clinical benefits since it is able to modulate all aspects of muscular performance, including strength, endurance and work capacity. Investigators hypothesize that, as a home-based stand-alone rehabilitative therapy, TIRE will be superior to standard IMT in improving COPD-related measures.
A randomised clinical trial in a single centre.The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of kinesio taping and breathing exercises on pain management applied after benign gynecological abdominal operations. A total of 132 women, divided into 4 groups of 33 subjects each, were included.Women underwent gynecological abdominal operation were assigned to the groups randomly, depending on the application of two different methods of kinesio taping and breathing exercise.In randomization, a table of numbers was created, and an equal number of women were assigned to groups with four block patterns. Using kinesio taping and breathing exercise, 33 women were included in kinesio taping group (1st Group), 33 in breathing exercise group (2nd Group), and 33 in kinesio taping + breathing exercise group (3rd Group). No intervention was applied to the women in the control group (4th Group). Pain levels of women were evaluated with Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and after administration of the interventions.
