Collagen-vascular disorders (CVD) are commonly associated with chronic interstitial lung disease. Clinicopathologic observations suggest that inflammatory process of the lower respiratory tract may appear prior to fibrosis. Subclinical pulmonary involvement, as assessed by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was evaluated in 61 patients various CVD but free clinical symptoms and normal chest roentgenograms. Eight had abnormal function tests (PFT) at entry study. Total BAL cell yield from nonsmokers...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate a new field test, the six-minute stepper test (6-MST), by studying its reproducibility, sensitivity and validity. Methods: After familiarization 16 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) 15 healthy subjects performed two tests per day over three evaluation days. Ten COPD also walking (6-MWT) an analysis gas exchange compare metabolic requirements tests. Dyspnoea Borg values were evaluated Borg’s CR-10 scale. Results: mean...

Introduction: Personalized, global pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) management of patients with COPD is effective, regardless the place in which this provided. The objective retrospective observational study was to long-term outcome exercise capacity and quality life during treated by home-based PR. Methods: Home-based PR administered 211 (mean age, 62.3±11.1 years; mean forced expiratory volume 1 second, 41.5%±17.7%). chosen because distance patient's home from center preference. Each patient...

Introduction: Exercise tolerance testing is an integral part of the pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) management patients with chronic obstructive disease (COPD). The 6-minute stepper test (6MST) a new, well-tolerated, reproducible exercise test, which can be performed without any spatial constraints. Objective: aim this study was to compare results 6MST those obtained during walk (6MWT) and cardiopulmonary (CPET) in cohort COPD patients. Methods: Ninety-one managed by outpatient PR assessed...

Few studies have examined the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with fibrotic idiopathic pneumonia (f-IIP). Here, we report results an observational study routine clinical practice home-based for f-IIP patients.A total 112 consecutive (61 fibrosis and 51 nonspecific interstitial pneumonitis) were enrolled, whom 65 had mild-to-moderate disease (forced vital capacity (FVC) ≥50% predicted diffusing lung carbon monoxide (DLCO) ≥30% predicted) 47 severe (FVC <50% and/or DLCO <30%...

Objectives To evaluate the short-term and long-term benefits of adding a weekly educational session to traditional 8-week home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programme in people with chronic obstructive disease (COPD). Primary hypothesis was that 8 supervised sessions will be equivalent 16 at both short- after PR. Design Retrospective cohort study conducted on prospectively collected real-life data, from January 2010 December 2021. Setting FormAction Santé, Pérenchies France....

The aims of this study were to test the reproducibility 6-minute stepper (6MST), and evaluate its accuracy in detecting improved functional capacity after pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) patients with chronic obstructive disease (COPD). Thirty-five COPD outpatients performed two 6MSTs same session, before (6MST1 6MST2) (6MST3 6MST4) PR. performance, perceived exertion, heart rate arterial oxygen saturation measured during each 6MST. performance was higher second 6MST session (before PR: 514...

Patients with advanced lung cancer (LC) or malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) exhibit limitation of exercise capacities and alteration quality life (QoL) induced by its treatment. Few studies assessed pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in these chemotherapy-treated patients, none evaluated a home-based PR program. In this prospective uncontrolled observational pilot study, patients treated chemotherapy for LC MPM were screened program combining training global cares including therapeutic...

Background: The prevalence of physical frailty and its clinical characteristics in advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is unknown, as well the usefulness functional capacity tests to screen for frailty. aim study was evaluate proportion portrait COPD patients with respiratory failure exhibiting at time referral home-based rehabilitation. We also short performance battery (SPPB) timed-up go (TUG) potential screening tools Finally, we evaluated specific contribution gait...

Background. Optimal strategies to maintain short-term benefits of an initial rehabilitation program (RP) are not known. To assess the long-term effects exercise maintenance (EM) after outpatient RP, authors conducted a prospective study. Patients and Methods. Fifty-eight patients with moderate moderately severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who completed 7-week RP were included. They allocated into four groups according conditions EM they self-selected: 15 received structured session...

Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a key treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but studies are still needed to identify the most pertinent criteria personalize this intervention and improve its efficacy. Objective: This real-life retrospective study compared effects home-based PR on exercise tolerance, anxiety, depression, health-related quality life (HRQoL) in COPD patients, according their medical equipment. Methods: Exercise HRQoL were evaluated 109 patients...

Background: This retrospective, observational study of a routine clinical practice reports the feasibility and efficiency home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), including transcutaneous neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) or usual endurance physical exercise (UEPE), on tolerance, anxiety/depression, health-related quality life (HRQoL) in patients with COPD. Methods: Seventy-one COPD participated PR NMES (Group [G ]), while 117 UEPEs UEPE ]). was applied for 30 minutes twice day,...

Our objective was to evaluate the short-, medium- and long-term benefits of home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on physical affective components dyspnoea in people with fibrotic idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (f-IIPs). Anxiety depressive symptoms, fatigue, health-related quality life exercise tolerance were also assessed.

Background Dyspnoea is a multidimensional experience of breathing discomfort, but its affective dimension unfrequently assessed in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We evaluated the effectiveness home-based rehabilitation (PR) programme on physical and components dyspnoea by Dyspnoea-12 (D-12) questionnaire. also determined baseline characteristics that contributed to change D-12 scores. Methods In this retrospective study, 225 COPD (age, 65±11 years; forced...
