Filter by:The aim of the study was to determine whether delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in trunk muscles has an effect on respiratory function parameters, respiratory muscle strength, respiratory muscle endurance, and exercise capacity.
roxithormycin 300 mg per day for 12 weeks could improve quality of life and physiological outcomes in bronchiectasis
This study examines the feasibility and acceptability of using mobile applications and biosensing (mHealth) devices in detecting vitality parameters in current smokers with and without respiratory symptoms/COPD (e.g., heart rate, blood oxygenation, steps/motion) for a future big-scale study.
There is no local predicted values for spirometry available in Bolivia. The aim of the present study is to establish moderne predicted values for healthy non-smokers recruited in a major city of Bolivia, Santa Cruz De La Sierra.
The purpose of this randomized controlled field trial is to determine whether a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stove and fuel distribution intervention reduces personal and kitchen exposure to household air pollutants and improves cardiopulmonary health outcomes when compared to usual cooking practices with open-fire biomass-burning stoves in adult women aged 25-64 years.
General anesthesia has been demonstrated to have a negative impact on lung function. Both surgery and patient position influence the perioperative lung function. Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has been proved to be safe and efficient to maintain the airways patent during general anesthesia. Pressure support ventilation (PSV) with LMA is routinely used in clinical practice. The aim of the present trial is to characterize perioperative changes in lung volume, ventilation inhomogeneity and respiratory mechanics in patients in the lithotomy position and spontaneously breathing through LMA with and without PSV.
Objective: The purpose of this research was to study the Maximal Respiratory Pressures (MRP) after exposure to breast radiation therapy in women. Methods: Prospective observational study performed at the Hospital de cancer Alfred in Campo Grande/MS. The sample of this study consisted of women (N = 16) divided into two groups: women exposed to breast radiotherapy after underwent quadrantectomy surgery (n = 8); and women with no history of cancer (n = 8). We evaluated the strength of respiratory muscles through the Maximal Inspiratory Pressure (MIP) and Maximal Expiratory Pressure (MEP) using the handset called manovacuometer. The examination was performed before the first session and after the twenty-fifth session related to the last day of the radiation treatment; evaluation of anthropometric data of weight and height to detect the body mass index (BMI); evaluation of clinical respiratory symptoms of dyspnea using the Medical Research Council (MRC) Dyspnea Scale and characterization of cough with Common Pulmonary Toxicity Criteria, in the classification of clinical pneumonitis.
The overall aim is to explore pathophysiological factors related to airway hyperresponsiveness to direct and indirect provocation stimuli in athletes with different sport activities, with special focus on epithelial reaction linked to CC16 and to eicosanoid related inflammatory response. The investigators also wish to compare indirect testing done as hyper osmotic challenge with Mannitol compared to a defined sport specific exercise challenge.
