Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients often show asynchronous movement of the lower rib cage during spontaneous quiet breathing and exercise. We speculated that varying body position from seated to supine would influence asynchrony by changing configuration respiratory muscles. Twenty-three severe COPD (forced expiratory volume in 1 s = 32.5 ± 7.0% predicted) 12 healthy age-matched controls were studied. Measurements phase shift between upper abdomen performed with...
Introduction In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) the assessment of diaphragmatic function is crucial because respiratory muscle weakness can cause failure. We aimed to noninvasively assess in DMD by measuring thickness ultrasonography, under hypothesis that progressive decrease lung related alterations thickness. Methods Forty-four patients and thirteen healthy controls were enrolled subdivided into three age groups. Diaphragmatic was measured during quiet breathing, inspiratory capacity,...
Background Telehealth services can improve the quality of health for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management, but clinical benefits patients yet not clear. It is crucial to develop a strategy that supports engagement healthcare professionals promote sustainable adoption telehealth further. The aim study was show how variables related perception COPD by different interact influence its and generate advice future service implementation. Methods Data thematically synthesized...
Both superimposed high-frequency jet ventilation (SHFJV) and single-frequency (high-frequency) (HFJV) have been used with success for airway surgery, but SHFJV has found to provide higher lung volumes better gas exchange than HFJV in unobstructed airways. The authors systematically compared the efficacy of at different frequencies a model tracheal obstruction describe frequency dependence efficacy.Ten anesthetized animals (weight 25 31.5 kg) were alternately ventilated set fHF from 50 600...
Objective Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) consists of an incomplete formation the diaphragm and subsequent herniation abdominal bowels. Diaphragmatic defect can be repaired by primary closure or placing a patch. Respiratory follow up usually focuses on spirometric clinical evaluation. The aim study was to assess thoraco-abdominal volumes in CDH patients verify whether action chest wall is altered leading asymmetric asynchronous expansion different thoracoabdominal compartments....
<b>Physiological phenotyping using daily home-based assessments reveals early improvement in load–capacity–drive imbalance following #AECOPD and feasibility of home parasternal electromyography measurement, which tracks symptoms, health status spirometry</b>https://bit.ly/3o6I0Ty
<b>Background:</b> There is a need to increase physical activity (PA) in COPD patients. A novel strategy the combination of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) with coaching programme that provides patients feedback on their levels and weekly targets. <b>Objectives:</b> To study benefits web-based PAEP set targets based objectively measured PA attending PR. <b>Methods:</b> 44 (22 males, 69±11years, FEV<sub>1</sub> 54±19%pred, 3793±2209 steps/day) were assessed at baseline (Visit 1) randomised...
Physical activity (PA) has shown several beneficial effects on COPD patients. Our aim was to examine the relationship between psychological determinants and PA in patients during after an inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program. We recruited 27 (age 65.4±5.8 yrs;17 M, 10 F) at CIRO+ expertise center(Horn, Netherlands). Active energy expenditure (AEE) monitored daily by monitor (DirectLife, Philips) for 3 months: 8 weeks PR 4 home. 6MWT assessed beginning end of PR. The exercise...
Physical activity (PA) is important for COPD patients, however it difficult to increase and maintain. An automated coaching program, based on self-regulation objective PA data, has been recently developed (Van Genugten L. et al, 2016). The aim of this pilot study was evaluate if web-based intervention can in patients. In RCT 21 patients were recruited wore an monitor (DirectLife, Philips) throughout the study. assessed as number minutes per day spent moderate intensity, termed...
Improving or maintaining an adequate level of physical activity (PA) at home is difficult for COPD patients, even after pulmonary rehabilitation. Two trials were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness online coaching program home. This writing reports user engagement levels with this PA, relation effectiveness, and its determinants. Data from two randomized controlled (Saini, 2017; Priori 2017) used analysis (n=20+ 45). patients randomly allocated control intervention condition. All...
<b>Background:</b> Preventing hospital readmission after severe acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) is a priority. Detecting clinical deterioration in the home challenging and current methods have proven ineffective. Neural respiratory drive (NRD) measured with parasternal electromyography non-invasive, effort-independent biomarker that detects inpatient during AECOPD (1,2). <b>Hypotheses:</b> 1. Home NRD measurement feasible 2. tracks trajectory following AECOPD. <b>Method:</b>...
<b>Background:</b> The acceptability of the Philips research activity monitor (TracmorD) and usability to patients with COPD wearing it while undertaking a daily routine are unknown. <b>Aims objectives:</b> To study TracmorD in life COPD. <b>Methods:</b> 21 (17 males, 62 [57-69] years, BMI 24 [20-27] kg.m<sup>-2</sup>, FEV<sub>1</sub> 47 [29-64] %predicted) were submitted assessments physical levels. Patients had simultaneously wear 3 TracmorDs (in right-hand side pocket, around neck on hip)...
It is known that a physically active lifestyle can improve quality of life and help in managing COPD. important for patients to be aware how they are. Our aim was test usage, usability, acceptance, compliance web-based physical activity interface (PAI) COPD patients. 14 were recruited (age: 60.9±8.8yrs; 5M, 9F) at the CIRO+ Expertise Center (Horn, Netherlands). Patients provided Direct Life (Philips) monitor (AM) (PA) monitored 2 weeks. with PAI instructed upload their PA data recorded by...
