Inspiratory Muscle Training in Adults With Cerebral Palsy: Long Term Effects: A Double‐Blind Randomized, Controlled Trial

open access: yesResearch in Nursing &Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Respiratory disease is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in adults with cerebral palsy (CP). The main objective of the study was to investigate the maintenance over time of improvements in respiratory parameters achieved with inspiratory muscle training (IMT).

Ascending and Descending Pharyngeal Opening Pressures During Drug‐Induced Sleep Endoscopy: Mechanistic Insights for Sleep Surgeons

open access: yesOtolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To assess whether differences exist between ascending pharyngeal opening pressure (PhOPA) and descending pharyngeal opening pressure (PhOPD) obtained from positive airway pressure (PAP) titrations during drug‐induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) and to identify the associations between the physiologic and anatomic constituents of these ...

Task failure from inspiratory resistive loaded breathing: a role for inspiratory muscle fatigue? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The use of non-invasive resistive breathing to task failure to assess inspiratory muscle performance remains a matter of debate. CO2 retention rather than diaphragmatic fatigue was suggested to limit endurance during inspiratory resistive breathing ...

Efficacy of diaphragmatic breathing in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]

open access: yesChronic Respiratory Disease, 2011
This study investigated the effects of diaphragmatic breathing (DB) on ventilation and breathing pattern, seeking to identify predictors of its efficacy in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Twenty-nine patients with moderate and severe COPD were monitored using respiratory inductance plethysmography and metabolic gas analysis.

Relationship Between Chest Wall Motion and Diaphragmatic Excursion in Healthy Adults in Supine Position

open access: yesJournal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2009
There has been a lack of studies that have used both three-dimensional analysis and imaging tools concurrently to describe lung volume changes and breathing pattern in subjects in the supine position.

Integrated breathing and relaxation training (the Papworth method) for adults with asthma in primary care: a randomised controlled trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background: An integrated breathing and relaxation technique known as the Papworth method has been implemented by physiotherapists since the 1960s for patients with asthma and dysfunctional breathing, but no controlled trials have been reported.

Extrahepatic biliary obstruction secondary to a peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia in a dog

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract A 16‐month‐old, entire, male dobermann presented for evaluation of emesis, anorexia and lethargy. Upon examination, the dog was found to be severely icteric. Serum biochemistry revealed an elevated total bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase, and computed tomographic imaging revealed a peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia with abdominal ...
