Locomotor muscle dysfunction and rehabilitative exercise training in fibrotic interstitial lung disease: Where are we at and where could we go?

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise limitation is a cardinal feature of fibrotic interstitial lung disease arising from pulmonary gas exchange, respiratory mechanical and cardio‐circulatory abnormalities. More recently, it has been recognized that impairment in locomotor muscle function (e.g., reduced muscle mass/strength or heightened fatigability) might also play a ...

The Effects of Acute Hospitalisation on the Characteristics of Acute Sarcopenia in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesJCSM Communications
Background Acute sarcopenia in hospitalised older adults is associated with poor outcomes, such as functional decline, increased risk of falls and prolonged hospital stays.

An eye on long‐duration spaceflight: Controversies, countermeasures and challenges

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Space flight‐associated neuroocular syndrome (SANS) is a consequence of long‐duration space flight and is detected in two‐thirds of astronauts. In‐flight, this can cause a change in the refraction of the eyes, requiring graded hypermetropic ‘superfocus adjustable’ glasses, optic nerve head oedema and choroidal folds.

Cardiac reserve during weightlessness simulation and shuttle flight [PDF]

open access: yes
Bedrest deconditioning is suspected to reduce cardiac function. However, quantitation of subtle decreases in cardiac reserve may be difficult. Normal subjects show considerable variability in heart rate response, reflected by a relatively broadband ...

Neurovisceral phenotypes in the expression of psychiatric symptoms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This review explores the proposal that vulnerability to psychological symptoms, particularly anxiety, originates in constitutional differences in the control of bodily state, exemplified by a set of conditions that include Joint Hypermobility, Postural ...

Spaceflight and sport science: Physiological monitoring and countermeasures for the astronaut–athlete on Mars exploration missions

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight impacts essentially every system in the human body, resulting in multisystem deconditioning that might impair the health and performance of crewmembers, particularly on long‐duration exploration missions to Mars. In this review, we apply the sport science model of athlete monitoring, testing and training to astronauts;

Impacting patient-centred outcomes in COPD: deconditioning

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Review, 2006
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently suffer from exercise intolerance, leading to a reduced ability to participate in activities of daily life and, therefore, to a reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

Restoring Functional Status: A Long-Term Case Report of Severe Lung and Ventilatory Muscle Pump Dysfunction Involving Recurrent Bacterial Pneumonias [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background and Purpose: Prolonged mechanical ventilation contributes to immobility and deconditioning making efforts to safely discontinue ventilator support desirable. This case report documents how implementing physical therapy treatment interventions,

The multi-modality cardiac imaging approach to the Athlete's heart: an expert consensus of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The term 'athlete's heart' refers to a clinical picture characterized by a slow heart rate and enlargement of the heart. A multi-modality imaging approach to the athlete's heart aims to differentiate physiological changes due to intensive training in the

The search for the ultimate exercise countermeasure to preserve crew health and ensure mission success in long‐duration spaceflight

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The current understanding of crew health maintenance is founded upon decades of physiological research conducted in terrestrial spaceflight analogues and in low Earth orbit, particularly on the International Space Station. However, as we progress towards the Lunar Gateway and interplanetary missions, it is imperative that the tools employed to
