Nasal irrigation is widely practiced in infants, but its execution varies greatly. Although a consensus on how to perform this procedure has been published, supporting experimental evidence lacking. In vitro investigations using anatomical models are promising first step toward clinical research. Quantitative, exploratory data pediatric nasal irrigation, obtained from pragmatic setup, needed. A previously validated upper airway model of 10-month-old infant was used and filled with...
To develop a standardized, reliable, valid spine model of active trunk movements that accurately discriminates kinematic patterns patients with chronic non-specific low back pain from those healthy subjects.Comparative cohort study.Healthy subjects (n = 25) and aged 30-65 years.Subjects performed 7 seated position at non-imposed speed during 2 sessions. Nine markers on bony landmarks measured range motion 5 spinal segments, recorded by 8 optoelectronic cameras.Both groups showed...
Study Objective: Telemedicine (TM) for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treated patients may save health-care resources without compromising treatment effectiveness. We assessed the effect of TM (AirView Online System, ResMed) during CPAP habituation phase on 3-month and 1-year adherence efficacy in with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods: At initiation, 120 diagnosed OSA were randomized to either usual care (UC) or (clinical registration: ISRCTN12865936)....
Oropharyngeal myofunctional therapy is a multi-component effective to reduce the severity of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). However, existing protocols are difficult replicate in clinical setting. There need isolate specific effectiveness each component therapy.To assess effects 6 weeks tongue elevation training programme patients with OSA.We conducted multicentre randomised controlled trial. Eligible participants were adults diagnosed moderate OSA who presented low adherence continuous...
Complex actions can be regarded as a concatenation of simple motor acts, arranged according to specific rules. Because the caudal part Broca's region (left Brodmann's area 44, BA 44) is involved in processing hierarchically organized behaviors, we aimed test hypothesis that this may also play role learning structured sequences. To address issue, investigated inhibitory effects continuous theta-burst TMS (cTBS) applied over left 44 healthy subjects, just before they performed serial RT task...
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has become increasingly affordable. Several research projects used 3D to create in vitro upper airways model. However, studies using a mainstream desktop printer never performed geometric validation of their The aim this study was perform pediatric model printed with printer. Head computerized tomography (CT) scan 10-month-old female underwent segmentation between and surrounding anatomical structures. Airways allowed measurement for further comparison enabled...
Lung clearance index (LCI), a measure of ventilation inhomogeneity derived from multiple-breath washout test, is promising tool for assessing airway function in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. However, it unknown whether could improve after successful elimination excessive secretions within The objective this work was to assess the short-term effects lung secretion using autogenic drainage technique on standard tests and LCI subjects bronchiectasis.Nitrogen-based washout,...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Air-flow oscillations generated by exhaling through oscillatory positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) devices favor airway clearance. Variations in mechanical properties between different may influence therapeutic efficacy. The objective of this study was to assess vitro and compare the performance 6 OPEP at resistance levels under active flow patterns. <h3>METHODS:</h3> 4 gravity-dependent (ie, Flutter, Gelomuc, Pari O-PEP, Shaker Medic Plus) 2 gravity-independent...
Abstract Introduction/Aims Oropharyngeal dysphagia is common in patients with neuromuscular diseases (NMDs). Its early recognition vital for proper management. We tested a large cohort of adult NMD oropharyngeal using the Sydney Swallow Questionnaire (SSQ). also looked possible differences characteristics various groups and diseases. Finally, we compared results this screening those from their corresponding medical records eventual “clinical history” dysphagia. Methods asked to fill SSQ...
Breathing control exercises are an important component of occupational therapy in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Delivering these group settings may enhance their benefits. Therefore, this study assessed the effectiveness breathing delivered a format to severe COPD remitting from acute exacerbation. This randomized controlled trial 6 weeks' duration compared addition exercise sessions setting standard inpatient rehabilitation program (usual care) versus usual...
