The aim was to study the overall content and organisational aspects of pulmonary rehabilitation programmes from a global perspective in order get an initial appraisal on degree heterogeneity worldwide. A 12-question survey completed by representatives that had previously participated European Respiratory Society (ERS) COPD Audit. Moreover, all ERS members affiliated with Rehabilitation Chronic Care and/or Physiotherapists Scientific Groups, American Association Cardiovascular Pulmonary...
Patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation (>21 days) are commonly weaned at long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs). The most effective method of weaning such patients has not been investigated.To compare duration with pressure support vs unassisted breathing through a tracheostomy collar in transferred to an LTACH for from ventilation.Between 2000 and 2010, randomized study was conducted tracheotomized single ventilation. Of 500 who underwent 5-day screening procedure, 316 did...
The objectives of this descriptive study were (a) to determine the energy expenditure activities commonly performed by individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) and summarize information (b) measure resting establish value 1 MET for SCI.One-hundred seventy adults SCI partitioned gender, anatomical level SCI, American Spinal Injury Association designations motor function. Twenty-seven physical activities, 12 recreational/sport 15 daily living, performed, while was measured continuously via...
Patients with obesity, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are generally physically inactive, have a high mortality rate, may benefit from an exercise program. We performed 24-week randomized controlled feasibility study comparing aerobic plus optimal medical management to alone in patients type 2 obesity (body mass index [BMI] > 30 kg/m2), stage 2-4 CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 15-90 mL/min/1.73 m2 persistent proteinuria). Subjects underwent thrice weekly training...
A frequent cause of mortality in spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI&D) is cardiovascular disease (CVD). Obesity high blood pressure (BP) are modifiable risk factors for CVD.Retrospective review clinical administrative data 7959 veterans with SCI&D. Data elements included height, weight, pressure, demographics, level injury. Analyses descriptive statistics generalized logistic regressions.Twenty percent were obese according to their body mass index (BMI), 33% overweight; 22% had BP (> or...
Rationale: Patients managed at a long-term acute-care hospital (LTACH) for weaning from prolonged mechanical ventilation are risk profound muscle weakness and disability. Objectives: To investigate effects of on survival, function, its impact quality life 6 12 months after LTACH discharge. Methods: This was prospective, longitudinal study conducted in 315 patients being weaned an LTACH. Measurements Main Results: At discharge, 53.7% were detached the ventilator 1-year survival 66.9%. On...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), obesity, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are generally physically inactive may benefit from exercise. Our objective was to determine the effects of structured exercise on physical fitness, function, endothelial inflammation, body composition in such patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In this randomized, controlled trial, 36 male patients (age 49-81) were randomly assigned +...
Families of Veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are often faced providing long-term informal care to their loved one. However, little is known about how perceived health and caregiving burden contribute quality life (QOL). The purpose this descriptive study was describe health, somatic symptoms, caregiver burden, QOL identify the extent which these variables associated in female partners/spouses TBI. Participants completed a written questionnaire including Patient Health...
Highlights•The strength training intervention (STEER) enhanced early recovery after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation•STEER reduced fatigue and maintained or improved muscle functional ability•Subjects assigned to STEER demonstrated high compliance (83%)AbstractIntensive cancer treatment followed by transplantation (HCT) results in moderate severe physical inactivity, leading diminished ability. The purpose of this study was determine the efficacy an exercise intervention, enhance...
Pulmonary clinicians and patients anecdotally report barriers to home supplemental oxygen services including inadequate supply, unacceptable portable options, equipment malfunction. Limited evidence exists describe or quantify these problems.To the frequency type of problems experienced by users in United States.The Patient Supplemental Oxygen Survey, a self-report questionnaire, was posted on American Thoracic Society Public Advisory Roundtable patient health care-affiliated websites....
Muscle-mass loss augers increased morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. can be assessed by wide linear-array ultrasound transducers connected to cumbersome, expensive console units. Whether cheaper, hand-carried units equipped with curved-array used as alternatives is unknown. Accordingly, our primary aim was investigate 15 nondisabled subjects the validity of measurements rectus femoris cross-sectional area using a transducer against transducer-the reference-standard...
Exercise and sedentary behavior have different physiologic effects, which yet to be fully explained. Time spent in has been associated with glucose intolerance adults at risk for type 2 diabetes, but these data come largely from cross-sectional studies that not explored this relationship diabetes. The specific aim of study was examine the between time levels diagnosed diabetes over 3-5 days.Using continuous concurrent gathered wrist accelerometry a Continuous Glucose-Monitoring Sensor...
The use of cluster analysis in the nursing literature is limited to creation classifications homogeneous groups and discovery new relationships. As such, it important provide clarity regarding its potential. purpose this article an introduction distance-based, partitioning-based, model-based methods commonly utilized literature, a brief historical overview on suggestions for future research. An electronic search included three bibliographic databases, PubMed, CINAHL Web Science. Key terms...
Abstract Background Although recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI) are common complications in people with neurogenic bladder (NB), limited data exist on the specific ways UTIs impact quality of life (QoL) this population. These could help tailor patient-centered approaches to improving UTI care NB. Impacts Feelings and Emotional Well-being Methods We mailed surveys 289 Veterans NB due spinal cord injury/disorder (SCI/D), multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson’s Disease who had at least one...
Because individuals with claudication pain secondary to peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are limited in both walking speed and duration, the benefits of exercise may be insufficient yield a cardiovascular training effect. The objectives this analysis were determine whether polestriding training, performed by persons PAD, would improve endurance, elicit benefit, quality life (QoL). Persons (n = 49) whose their capacity randomized into 24-week program 25, 65.8 ± 7.1 years age) or nonexercise...

We recently reported that hypogonadism does not affect respiratory muscle performance and exercise capacity in men with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In COPD, however, the relationship between quality of life is controversial, making it unreliable to extrapolate about from data. Accordingly, we determined prevalence impact on health-related COPD. enrolled 101 stable outpatient (FEV1 1.34 ± 0.04 L) older than 54 years; 38 patients were hypogonadal—a similar general population....
