Respiratory muscle training with normocapnic hyperpnea improves ventilatory pattern and thoracoabdominal coordination, and reduces oxygen desaturation during endurance exercise testing in COPD patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: Few data are available about the effects of respiratory muscle training with normocapnic hyperpnea (NH) in COPD. The aim is to evaluate the effects of 4 weeks of NH (Spirotiger®) on ventilatory pattern, exercise capacity, and quality of life (

Combined effects of normobaric hypoxia and cold on respiratory system responses to high‐intensity exercise

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cold temperatures (<−15°C) increase exercise‐induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), while hypoxic‐induced hyperventilation exacerbates respiratory muscle fatigue for a given exercising task. This study aimed to determine the individual and combined effects of cold and normobaric hypoxia on the respiratory system responses to high‐intensity ...

Delayed Presentation of Posttraumatic Diaphragmatic Hernia Masquerading as Recurrent Acute Asthmatic Attack

open access: yesCase Reports in Medicine, 2017
Diaphragmatic hernia following blunt abdominal injury is extremely rare and often diagnosed late. Missed diagnosis is also common with this condition. We herein present a delayed presentation of diaphragmatic hernia following blunt abdominal injury that ...

Ageing exacerbates the adverse effects of respiratory muscle fatigue on vascular function, locomotor muscle fatigue and exercise performance in males

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the effect of respiratory muscle fatigue on cardiovascular function, locomotor muscle fatigue and exercise performance in young and master athletes, a model of successful ageing. Ten young male (YA, 27.4 ± 4.4 years) and 11 male master endurance athletes (MA, 65.0 ± 5.1 years) performed, on separate days, two constant ...

Exercise Therapy Versus Manual Therapy for the Management of Pain Intensity, Disability, and Physical Function in People With Chronic Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review With Meta‐Analysis and Meta‐Regression

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Pain, Volume 29, Issue 8, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Guidelines recommend combining physical and psychological programmes for chronic low back pain (CLBP); however, exercise therapy (ET) and manual therapy (MT) are often delivered separately. This systematic review with meta‐analysis and meta‐regression of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) aimed to compare the efficacy

Ovarian Fibroma with Meigs Syndrome associated with Elevated CA125 - A Rare Case [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Postmenopausal women with solid adnexal masses, ascites and pleural effusion with elevated CA 125 are highly suggestive for malignant ovarian tumor. However in literature 28 cases Meigs syndrome (Benign ovarian tumor, ascites and right pleural effusion ...

Measurement and interpretation of central venous pressure: a narrative review

open access: yesAnaesthesia, Volume 80, Issue 9, Page 1093-1102, September 2025.
Summary Introduction Central venous pressure has been a key component of haemodynamic monitoring for several decades, but its clinical utility is still debated. While central venous pressure has been used traditionally to assess intravascular volume status and fluid responsiveness, mounting evidence suggests that its absolute value alone is an ...

Respiratory and Metabolic Effects of Active Expiration in Freely Behaving Rats

open access: yesActa Physiologica, Volume 241, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Exposure to low oxygen (hypoxia) or high carbon dioxide levels (hypercapnia) leads to a compensatory increase in pulmonary ventilation. Among the motor changes supporting the respiratory responses is the recruitment of abdominal expiratory muscles (ABD), which can enhance expiratory airflow or alter the duration of the expiratory phase.
