There is a need of consensus about the pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in patients with COVID-19 after discharge from acute care. To facilitate knowledge evidence and its translation into practice, we developed suggestions based on experts’ opinion. A steering committee identified areas questions sent to experts. Other international experts participated RAND Delphi method reaching proposing further suggestions. Strong agreement was defined when mean >7 (1 = no 9 maximal agreement)....
The Bayesian-brain framework applied to placebo responses and other mind-body interactions suggests that the effects on body result from interaction between priors, such as expectations learning, likelihood, somatosensorial information. Significant research in this area focuses role of but relevance likelihood has been surprisingly overlooked. One way manipulating is by paying attention sensorial We suggest can influence both precision position (i.e., relative distance priors) focusing...
Background and purpose Forced vital capacity ( FVC ) <80% is one of the key indications for starting non‐invasive ventilation NIV in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS ). It was hypothesized that a very early start could lengthen free interval before death compared to later‐start ; as secondary outcome, survival rate patients on without tracheotomy also evaluated. Methods This retrospective study conducted 194 patients, divided into later group LG with at prescription n = 129) VEG ≥80%...
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...
Background and purpose Studies investigating psychological interventions for the promotion of well‐being in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are lacking. The current study was to examine use an ALS‐specific mindfulness‐based intervention improving quality life this population. Methods A randomized, open‐label controlled clinical trial conducted on efficacy meditation programme promoting life. Adults who received a diagnosis ALS within 18 months were randomly assigned either...
Abstract Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease leading to progressive and irreversible muscle atrophy. The diagnosis of ALS time-consuming complex, with the clinical neurophysiological evaluation accompanied by monitoring progression long procedure for discrimination similar diseases. delayed strongly slows potential development adequate therapies time frame prompt intervention. discovery new biomarkers could improve diagnosis, as well therapeutic rehabilitative...
Abstract The present study investigated the patterns of mutual associations between maladaptive daydreaming-related variables (MD, i.e., interference with life and somatosensory retreat), psychopathological symptoms (i.e., depression, anxiety, somatization, obsessive–compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, psychoticism), emotion regulation strategies cognitive reappraisal expressive suppression), problematic social networking sites use (PSNSU). A total 531 young adults completed self-report...
People with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may suffer from anxiety, depression, low quality of life, and cognitive deficits that could play a role in their clinical conditions. These situations be worsened during the adaptation process to new treatment such as noninvasive ventilation (NIV), which is often rejected or inappropriately used. The study aimed analyze impact brief psychological support intervention on adherence NIV among patients COPD.A two-branch randomized...
Background: Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease. It estimated that approximately 40% of individuals with CD are non-adherent to medical prescriptions. This lack adherence treatment plans has been linked an increased risk hospitalisation and surgical procedures, which can have detrimental impact on the patient’s quality life (QoL). Furthermore, impose significant stress individuals, affecting their mental health sense mastery. The term ‘mastery’ used...
ABSTRACT Background After receiving a diagnosis, individuals often develop expectations about how their condition will evolve. This cognitive framework, known as ‘Illness Expectations’ (IEs), encompasses future‐oriented beliefs regarding the course of illness and its symptoms. In chronic conditions such asthma, IEs may play critical role in shaping patient‐reported outcomes clinical markers disease progression. study aims to empirically evaluate impact on asthma symptoms respiratory...
Abstract Background Postoperative pain and swallowing disorders are complex, multifactorial phenomenon that frequently occur after cardiac surgery. Preoperative anxiety the interaction between sex other sociocultural factors may predict greater sensitivity to postoperative pain. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) address all these functional domains, improving patients' prognosis. Purpose The study aimed assess effectiveness of a comprehensive approach combining osteopathic interventions (OMT),...
Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are remitting and relapsing that mainly interest the gastrointestinal tract. IBD is associated with a condition of psycho-social discomfort deeply compromises quality life competence patient to be fully engaged in their self-management. As consequence, effective care patients should include not only medical but also psychological support order improve patients' wellbeing. Although this, date there no standardized approach promote...
Placebo effects are beneficial mind-body outcomes derived from beliefs or expectations, not explainable as the consequence of active medical treatments. These phenomena have long been considered a result external manipulation, generally obtained with deceptive strategies (e.g., fake pills) suggestions. Open-label placebos showed promising results, but even in that case, individual has passive role: they actively engaged promoting effect. We propose framework to investigate potential for...
