Preoperative Botulinum Toxin A and Its Impact on Pulmonary Function in Giant Abdominal Wall Hernias: A Prospective Spirometry-Based Analysis

Journal of Abdominal Wall Surgery
BackgroundBotulinum toxin type A has become an increasingly used tool in the preoperative management of giant abdominal wall hernias. Its primary objective is to “downstage” the hernia by inducing temporary paralysis of the lateral abdominal wall muscles,

Forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1st second and forced expiratory ratio in automobile spray paint workers

, 2016
Background: Automobile industry is a place where workers are exposed to harmful chemicals and toxic substances. Workers engaged in automobile spray painting are at a risk of developing respiratory problems. This is due to exposure to low molecular weight

Patterns of dietary intake and relation to respiratory disease, forced expiratory volume in 1 s, and decline in 5-y forced expiratory volume [PDF]

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2010
The independent effect of individual foods on the risk of respiratory disease is difficult to establish because intakes of specific foods are generally strongly correlated. To date, few studies have examined the relation between dietary food patterns and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1)) or respiratory symptoms.The objective was to investigate ...

Spirometry: basic concepts

Revista Alergia México, 2019
Spirometry is a pulmonary function test that allows screening, diagnosis and monitoring of respiratory diseases. This is a simple, non-invasive test that is easy to perform. By quantifying the respiratory volumes and flows, such as forced vital capacity (

Sources of variation in forced expiratory volume in one second and forced vital capacity [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2006
Published prediction equations for lung function differ considerably, but the components of population variation responsible for the differences are unknown.Data were analysed for 6,323 never-smoking adults who did not report wheeze or asthma, from 42 centres participating in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey.

Lung volume recruitment maneuvers and respiratory system mechanics in mechanically ventilated mice

, 2009
The study aim was to establish how recruitment maneuvers (RMs) influence lung mechanics and to determine whether RMs produce lung injury. Healthy BALB/c mice were allocated to receive positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) at 2 or 6 cmH2O and volume ...

Effect of Yoga Breathing Exercises on Ventilatory Function

Journal of Gandaki Medical College, 2017
Introduction: Controlled breathing not only keeps your mind and body functioning at their best, it can also lower blood pressure, promote feelings of calm and relaxation and help you de-stress. Many experts encourage using the yoga breathing exercises as

Normal values of forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume (FEV1.0), and peak flow rate (PFR) in children

, 1968
The normal values in children for the forced vital capacity (FVC), the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEVI.,), and the peak flow rate (PFR) have been determined in a group of 261 healthy schoolchildren. Charts which allow the ready determination

Relationship between Respiratory Function and the Strength of the Abdominal Trunk Muscles Including the Diaphragm in Middle-Aged and Older Adult Patients

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology
Objectives: Respiration plays an important function in sustaining life. The diaphragm is the primary muscle involved in respiration, and plays an important role in trunk stabilization.
