Filter by:The most commonly treatment for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is lobectomy. Different surgical interventions during lobectomy are thought to have different effects on respiratory functions and exercise capacities. The aim of this study was to evaluate respiratory muscle strength, functional exercise capacity, and diaphragmatic thickness in groups that underwent lobectomy with standard thoracotomy, muscle sparing thoracotomy, and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).
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.
The present study aims at evaluating the effect of respiratory muscle training in adult patients with cystic fibrosis on lung function, exercise performance and quality of life.
Respiratory muscle weakness and fatigue are related to clinical deterioration in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Respiratory muscle training (RMT) is a key therapeutic strategy in these patients. It is necessary therefore to increase its dissemination on a large scale, improve patient´s adherence and optimize the control of the implementation of training. The aim of this project was to design a RMT device including light and sound incentives, digital registration application and analysis of the training sessions, and studying the effectiveness of a new shortened RMT scheme of high intensity that could provide added value to enhance the implementation of training in patients with COPD. From an operational point of view, researches were organized into three packages of complementary work focused on the design of a new portable dual valve with electronic lighting and auditory incentives components. The conceptualization and design of a software to analyze the performance and individual continuous use of the valve, and the evaluation of the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a shortened schedule of respiratory muscle training in adult patients with COPD were realized.
A wide number of osteopathic techniques focusing on diaphragm have been proposed but, although systematically and efficiently used, there is a general lack of evidences able to clarify how and to which extent osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) on diaphragm is effective and determines a modification in muscles contractility and motion as well as an objective determination of the benefit on the patients receiving treatment. This study therefore aims at investigating whether, and how, a single session of selected osteopathic diaphragmatic techniques are able to affect muscle motility and thickness, assessed by ultrasounds, in a sample of healthy subjects and to compare results versus a group receiving a sham therapy and another one of non-treated subjects.
Investigate the effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training on the physical performance and cardiorespiratory variables of wheelchair basketball players.
It was recently shown that neostigmine reversal was associated with increased atelectasis and that high-dose neostigmine was associated with longer postoperative length of stay and with an increased incidence of pulmonary edema and reintubation. These study results were consistent with findings from a previous epidemiological study which revealed an absence of beneficial effects of neostigmine on postoperative oxygenation and reintubation. In our previous study, the effects of neostigmine / glycopyrrolate and sugammadex on the electromyographic activity of the diaphragm showed beneficial effects for sugammadex. This could be explained by a possible effect on neuromuscular transmission at the muscle level, but can also be explained by a neostigmine-induced decrease in total nerve activity. In a study in cats, neostigmine has been shown to reduce efferent phrenic nerve activity. The investigators aim to show a difference in phrenic nerve activity between neostigmine and sugammadex, administered alone or in combination, in healthy male volunteers.
The effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) remain controversial. Many studies have examined the effect IMT has on exercise performance, but any changes to the body that come from IMT have yet to be looked at. This study will look at how someone breathes can change after IMT. Understanding how IMT changes the body can help us use IMT in different treatments.
