The natural history of the disease, and treatment post-COVID-19 patients, are still being built. Symptoms persistent, even in mild cases, infection consequences include fatigue, dyspnea, tachycardia, muscle loss, reduced functional capacity. Regarding cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, there seems to be an improvement capacity, quality life, prognosis with 6-Minute Walk Test used as a prognostic therapeutic evaluator. Therefore, this case series report aims present our experience four cases...
Introduction: Literature shows that patients undergoing hemodialysis present poor physical conditioning and low tolerance to exercise. They may also suffer from respiratory dysfunctions. The purpose of this study was evaluate the effects neuromuscular electrical stimulation on pulmonary function functional capacity with chronic kidney disease hemodialysis. Methods: Forty adult were prospectively studied randomized into two groups (control n = 20 treatment 20). group underwent bilateral...
In Brief Study Design. Clinical prospective, random study. Objective. Analyze the results of six-minute walk test (6MWT) in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Summary Background Data. Although it is widely believed that Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) causes cardiorespiratory dysfunctions, there no report literature objective measurements this restriction ventilatory performance during physical exertion. Methods. One hundred twenty-six adolescents matched by gender and age...
Introduction: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a multidisciplinary program of care for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) the goal improving functional capacity and quality life, as well maintaining clinical stability COPD sufferers. However, not all are available such despite discomfort their condition. The aim this study was to evaluate effects home-based PR (HBPR) on ability, respiratory muscle strength endurance. Patients methods: according Global Initiative...
Obesity is a worldwide disease related to genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors, it associated with high rates of morbidity mortality. Recently, obesity has been characterized by low-grade inflammatory state known as inflammome indicated chronic increases in circulating concentrations markers. The purpose this study was evaluate the effect weight loss induced surgery for weight-related diseases on pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α) anti-inflammatory adipokine (adiponectin) levels, an...
The adequate control of asthma includes the absence nocturnal symptoms, minimal use medication, normal or nearly lung function and no limitations to physical activity. choice a more sedentary lifestyle can lead de-conditioning, thereby aggravating symptoms increasing risk obesity. This study aimed at performing battery function-related assessments in patients with comparing them healthy group. A prospective, transversal case–control was designed. It set up Santa Casa de Misericórdia Hospital...
Exercise is recommended for patients undergoing hemodialysis, to reduce the decrease in functional capacity secondary progression of chronic kidney disease. A cycle ergometer can be easily added an exercise routine during hemodialysis sessions. The purpose this article was assess results a training protocol with sessions on respiratory function and disease hemodialysis. In randomized clinical trial (NCT no. 02834026), 39 were randomly allocated into two groups: treatment group (TG, n = 20),...
To analyze the impact of a physiotherapy protocol in maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) by manovacuometry. AIS may change respiratory dynamics performance muscles, affecting ventilatory capacity.Patients aged 10 to 20 years old were randomly assigned receive an aerobic exercise-training program or no treatment. They evaluated for muscle strength before after treatment period means manovacuometry, thorax spine radiographs. Physical...
In adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis, does combined aerobic and resistance training improve respiratory function, perceived exertion functional exercise capacity more than only? Randomised controlled trial concealed allocation, blinded assessors intention-to-treat analysis. Forty scoliosis formal indication for surgical correction (spinal curvature ≥ 45 deg). Both groups undertook three 60-minute sessions per week 12 weeks. The experimental group performed the control only training. At...
To evaluate heart rate variability during an inspiratory muscle endurance protocol at three different load levels [30%, 60% and 80% of maximal pressure], in patients who had previously undergone coronary artery bypass grafting.Nineteen late postoperative myocardial revascularization participating a cardiovascular rehabilitation program were studied. Maximal pressure maneuvers performed. An 30%, was applied for four minutes each, random order. Heart RR intervals recorded analyzed by time...
A doença causada pelo novo coronavírus (Covid-19) é uma doença, cujas manifestações moderadas e graves exigem internação com oxigenoterapia ventilação mecânica prolon-gada grave perda muscular periférica consequentemente da capacidade funcional. Objetivo: Avaliar identificar o impacto reabilitação cardiopulmonar na fase ambulatorial em pacientes após contaminação SARS-CoV-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome co-ronavirus 2). Método: O presente estudo revisão narrativa literatura. Para...
Obesity is a troubling public health problem as it increases risks of sleep disorders, respiratory complications, systemic arterial hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome (MetS). As measure to counteract comorbidities associated with severe obesity, bariatric surgery stands out. This study aimed investigate the adiponectin/leptin ratio in women obesity without MetS who had undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) characterize biochemical,...
O objetivo do estudo foi demonstrar o efeito de dois protocolos da estimulação diafragmática elétrica transcutânea (EDET) sobre a força muscular respiratória mulheres saudáveis, sendo um protocolo segundo Geddes et al. (1988) e outro padronizado pelo equipamento Phrenics. Mulheres saudáveis foram divididas em 3 grupos: Controle (n=7); EDET com Phrenics (n=7) Dualpex (n=7), tratamento realizado 2 vezes por semana, durante 6 semanas (12 sessões). Foram avaliadas pressão inspiratória máxima...
BACKGROUND AND METHDS: Alveolar recruitment maneuver (ARM) is indicated in the treatment of intraoperative atelectasis. The objective present study was to compare two techniques ARM using response PaO2/FiO2 ratio and [PaO2 + PaCO2] patients with grade III obesity.This an open prospective adult obesity who underwent bariatric surgery under volume-controlled mechanical ventilation positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) 5 cmH2O, divided three groups: G CONT: PEEP cmH2O; ARM10/15/20 after...
Hand-held dynamometry is a quantitative and accessible means of determining the isometric force muscle groups.A total 52 women aged 20-29 years with no complaints hip pain who were sedentary or sporadically active had body mass index 18.5-24.99 kg/m2 included. All participants underwent bilateral assessments using hand-held flexor, extensor, adductor, abductor muscles as well internal external rotator muscles. movements measured. contraction data collected by dynamometer are expressed in...
