Abstract Background Non-invasive diagnostic strategies aimed at identifying biomarkers of lung cancer are great interest for early detection. The aim this study was to set up a new method and quantifying volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled air patients with non-small cells (NSCLC), by comparing the levels those obtained from healthy smokers non-smokers, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. VOC collection analyses were repeated three weeks after NSCLC underwent surgery. Methods...
The pandemic of COVID-19 is continuously spreading, becoming a worldwide emergency. Early and fast identification subjects with current or past infection must be achieved to slow down the epidemiological widening. Here we report Raman-based approach for analysis saliva, able significantly discriminate signal patients by from healthy and/or infection. Our results demonstrated differences in saliva biochemical composition three experimental groups, modifications grouped specific attributable...
Chronic respiratory patients requiring oxygen or home mechanical ventilation experience frequent exacerbations and hospitalisations with related costs. Strict monitoring care have been recommended. The aim of the present study was to primarily evaluate reduction in and, secondly, exacerbations, general practitioner (GP) calls cost-effectiveness tele-assistance (TA) for these patients. A total 240 (101 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)) were randomised two groups: an intervention...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome an outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation programme (PRP) in patients with chronic airway obstruction (CAO). In 61 CAO (35 asthmatics and 26 obstructive disease (COPD)) lung respiratory muscle function, exercise tolerance (by symptom limited cycloergometer walking tests), dyspnoea (Borg scale, visual analogue scale (VAS), baseline transitional index (BDI TDI, respectively)) quality life (St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ))...
We designed a prospective multicenter randomized controlled study in three long-term weaning units (LWU) to evaluate which protocol, inspiratory pressure support ventilation (PSV) or spontaneous breathing trials (SB), is more effective patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) requiring mechanical for than 15 d. Fifty-two of 75 patients, failing an initial T-piece trial at admission, were randomly assigned PSV SB (26 both groups). No significant difference was found success...
Computer-navigated total knee arthroplasty is aimed at improving accuracy in the positioning of prosthetic components and realigning lower limb. The optimal position orientation bone resection planes are targeted by navigation system, but, after these obtained, additional manual surgical actions, which may considerably affect final component alignment, necessary for implantation. aim this study was to measure alignment deviation caused standard impaction tibial femoral following resections...
This study investigated the impact of deep diaphragmatic breathing (DB) on blood gases, pattern, pulmonary mechanics and dyspnoea in severe hypercapnic chronic obstructive disease (COPD) patients recovering from an acute exacerbation. Transcutaneous partial pressure carbon dioxide (Ptc,CO2) oxygen (Ptc,O2) arterial saturation (Sa,O2), were continuously monitored 25 COPD with hypercapnia, during natural DB. In eight these patients, pattern minute ventilation (V'E) also assessed by means a...
This study investigates the impact of proportional assist ventilation (PAV), a new mode partial ventilatory support, on exercise tolerance and breathlessness in severe hypercapnic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. We also examined effects continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) support (PSV). On two consecutive days, 15 stable COPD patients underwent four endurance tests cycle ergometer at 80% their maximal workrate, receiving, via nasal mask random order, either: 1)...
In patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is usually initiated in an in-hospital regime.We investigated if NIV outpatient setting can be as effective terms of patients' acceptance/adherence. We also evaluated factors predicting acceptance and adherence disease progression.Prospective randomized study.Outpatient versus inpatient rehabilitation.ALS patients.ALS were to two groups for initiation: outpatients inpatients. At baseline (T0), end trial...
<h3>BACKGROUND</h3> Increased levels of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) have been reported in asthmatic subjects but little information is available on eNO patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A study was undertaken to evaluate the stable COPD different degrees severity. <h3>METHODS</h3> Peak and plateau values (PNO PLNO, respectively) were evaluated 53 analysed according level forced expiratory volume one second (FEV<sub>1</sub>) presence cor pulmonale (CP) (group...
To establish a cost-effective telephone-accessed consultation and mechanical in-exsufflation (MI-E) manually assisted coughing, oximetry feedback program for 39 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.Rapid access to healthcare MI-E was provided treat episodes of distress as result secretion encumbrance not reversed by suctioning associated decrease in oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO(2)) baseline. Avoided hospitalizations, defined relief respiratory return SpO(2) baseline >or=95%...
Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) production in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been loosely related to the severity of illness, being significantly reduced most severe cases. Pulmonary hypertension is associated with lower NO output from lung. In this study expired was measured patients COPD or without cor pulmonale (CP). Echocardiographic estimates right heart function, lung diffusion capacity, respiratory muscle strength, and arterial blood gases were obtained 34...
To evaluate the physiologic short-term effects of noninvasive proportional assist ventilation (PAV) in patients with acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Prospective, study.Respiratory intermediate intensive care unit.Seven respiratory failure requiring mechanical because COPD.PAV was administered by nasal mask as first ventilatory intervention. The setting PAV involved a procedure to adjust volume and flow levels corresponding patient comfort. Volume also set...
