Tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among incarcerated populations globally. We performed mass TB screening in 3 prisons assessed yield, efficiency, costs associated with various algorithms.

Diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis is usually achieved by testing sputum for presence Mycobacterium microscopy, culture or nucleic acid amplification tests. However, many individuals are unable to produce sputum, particularly early in the course illness. Studies have reported that oral swabs, assayed tests, may be a suitable substitute complement testing. To determine whether this method could useful case finding, which bacillary load often lower, we evaluated it setting mass screening...

Nesse sentido, acompanhamento contínuo no ambiente domiciliar é um fator essencial processo paciente. Este estudo objetiva relatar experiência em uma atividade integrada saúde, que iniciou com observação da realidade local culminou estratégias efetivação dos cuidados prevenção lesões pressão âmbito domiciliar. Para tanto, procedeu-se às etapas...

Background Previous studies have shown that increasing physical activity in daily life (PADL) improves asthma clinical control and quality of life. However, the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) to promote those improvements remains poorly known. The aim this study was estimate MCID for PADL people with moderate-to-severe asthma. Methods Data from consecutive who completed an eight-week (1x/week) face-to-face behavioural intervention increase were included compute MCID....

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> (Actigraph) for seven days to assess daily life physical activity (DLPA). Then, the participants will be randomized into ET or sham groups, and both groups complete a PR program (2x/week 8 weeks). The group receive ET, whereas non-elastic tape. Data presented as means standard. Individuals with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may exhibit thoracoabdominal asynchrony (TAA), which reduces ventilatory efficiency. A novel intervention using...

Objective: To analyze the number of hospitalizations, length hospital stay, and mortality due to asthma, as well costs Unified Health Care System in Brazil between 2008 2021. Methods: This was a cross-sectional epidemiological study using data from Information Technology Department Brazilian System. Proportional hospitalization death rates were estimated per 100,000 population by age, microregion, year. Results: The hospitalizations deaths asthma decreased 2021 (205,392 vs. 55,009 822 327,...

Background: Low-grade inflammation can be present in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which may affect the regulation of muscle protein and body metabolism. Regular exercise show improvement strength dyspnea patients with COPD, however, response to training on inflammatory metabolic disorders is unclear. In this study, we compared effects resistance using weight machines elastic (bands tubes) responses COPD. Methods: Patients COPD were randomized into three groups: band group...

<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Exposure to cigarette smoke causes significant impairment in mucociliary clearance (MCC), which predisposes patients secretion retention and recurrent airway infections that play a role exacerbations of COPD. To determine whether smoking cessation may influence MCC frequency exacerbations, the following groups were evaluated: ex-smokers with COPD, smokers current normal lung function, nonsmokers function. <h3>METHODS:</h3> Ninety-three subjects divided into 4 groups:...

Among the types of physical exercise, resistance exercises have been gaining significant attention in COPD population. The aim this study was to compare effects conventional training and by using elastic tubes on muscle strength, exercise capacity, creatine kinase clearance subjects with COPD.Twenty-eight were randomized into following: tubing group weight-machine (conventional group), performed 3 times a week for 12 weeks. submitted spirometry, functional capacity (the 6-min walk test),...

Modelo do estudo: Estudo experimental. Introdução: A Doença Renal Crônica (DRC) refere-se a um diagnóstico sindrômico de perda progressiva e irreversível da função renal. O paciente submetido à hemodiálise pode apresentar limitações na capacidade funcional, pulmonar força muscular respiratória, com consequentes prejuízos qualidade vida. Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos programa exercício físico sobre pulmonar, vida dor, em pacientes que realizam hemodiálise. Metodologia: Participaram estudo 28...

Purpose: To compare the effects of three modalities resistance training, two using elastic components and one conventional weight machine on peripheral muscle strength in Individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Effects exercise capacity, impact health status, body composition daily level physical activity were investigated as secondary endpoints.Methods: Forty-eight participants randomly allocated (Trials Registry #RBR-6V9SJJ) into Elastic band group (Theraband®)...

Introduction: Although evidence suggests that physical exercise reduces systemic inflammation, at the plasma level, there are still contradictions in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this sense, analysis of intracellular cytokines could clear off effect on inflammatory profile these subjects. Aim: The aim was to evaluate training cytokine expression CD4+ T lymphocytes from subjects with COPD. Methods: This is a randomized controlled trial. Subjects stable COPD were grouped...

<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Mucociliary clearance is the main defense mechanism of respiratory system, and it influenced by several stimuli, including aerobic exercise cigarette smoking. We evaluated acute response mucociliary to in smokers nonsmokers compared with that found after smoking combined exercise. Also, we investigated whether there was a correlation between autonomic nervous system under these conditions. <h3>METHODS:</h3> Twenty-one were for saccharin transit time (STT), heart rate...

Abstract Introduction Functional training has been shown to be a viable alternative for the elderly and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, whether combination of this type aerobic resistance training, commonly performed in rehabilitation (PR) programs, induces more pronounced effects on daily physical activities functionality remains unclear. The aims study will evaluate short-term sustained functional circuit program consisting exercise. Methods In...

Aims: To evaluate the expressions of intracellular cytokines in CD4+ T lymphocytes and to investigate correlation between biomarker clinical functional characteristics stable COPD patients. Patients Methods: Peripheral blood was collected from 36 patients, expression (IL-8, IL-13, IL-17, IL-6, IL-2, IL-10, TNF-α) CD4 + investigated. In addition, lung function, dyspnea symptoms, quality life, vital signs, body composition, level physical activity, peripheral muscle strength, capacity were...

Lung or head and neck cancers are known for their high prevalence mortality rates. Chemotherapy radiotherapy usually recommended as cancer treatment these malignancies; however, they can negatively impact both the physical mental status of patients. Hence, it is reasonable to consider resistance aerobic exercise training prevent negative health outcomes. Further, several factors patients from attending outpatient programs, and, therefore, a semisupervised home-based program may be seen...
