Peak expiratory flow rate in the management of cystic fibrosis [PDF]

Jornal de Pediatria, 2002
OBJECTIVE: To verify the role of peak expiratory flow, measured through portable meters, as an alternative test to assess pulmonary disease in cystic fibrosis. METHODS: Forty-nine patients aged five to 19 years old in stable health condition and able to perform the peak expiratory flow maneuver were included.

Synchronization‐Dissipation in the Cardiorespiratory System

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By modeling central nervous coupling and viscoelastic interactions in the cardiorespiratory system we show that synchronization produces a 10% gain in cardiac efficiency in humans. It is surmised that respiratory sinus arrhythmia improves cardiac pumping efficiency by reducing dynamic stress and power dissipation in the pulmonary vasculature.

Rural Labor Supply and Economic Opportunities: Commuting, Migration, Tariffs, and Immigration

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some rural counties remain dependent on agricultural or manufacturing jobs, but an increasing proportion have diversified economics. Rural counties also differ in their abilities to commute to an urban market characterized by higher wages and labor productivity.

Allergic Rhinitis Amplifies Asthma Risk in Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Large‐Scale Retrospective Cohort Analysis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and allergic rhinitis (AR) are two highly prevalent airway diseases in the United States. While the coexistence of CRS and asthma is well recognized, less is known about the development of new‐onset asthma in CRS, particularly in the context of comorbid AR. This study assessed the impact of CRS and AR on

Effectiveness and Safety of Oral Triamcinolone in the Management of Acute Exacerbations of Asthma: A Prospective Interventional Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
Introduction: Acute exacerbation of asthma leads to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Oral Corticosteroids (OCS) are critical in the management of asthma exacerbations; however, the response varies between patients.

The Effect of The Drill Method of Swimming Bracelet on Peak Expiratory Flow Rate In Asthma Patients

Journal of EST (Educational Science And Technology), 2021
This study aims to determine the effect of the breaststroke swimming drill method on the peak expiratory flow rate in asthmatics. This study uses an experimental research method with a one-group pre-test-post-test design, which means that research ...

SDPR–STK38 axis controls the proliferation–differentiation balance in alveolar type II cells

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The present study identifies SDPR as a pivotal regulator orchestrating the balance between proliferation and differentiation in alveolar type II (AT2) cells. In SDPR+/+ cells, SDPR binds to and inhibits STK38 activity, thereby sustaining GSK‐3β signaling functionality to promote cyclin D1 degradation and maintain cell cycle homeostasis.

Seasonal variation of peak expiratory flow rate of normal-weight individuals

Muller Journal of Medical Sciences and Research
Background: Climate change is one of the substantial factors contributing to environmental pollution, causing respiratory health problems. Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) monitoring is an indispensable tool for diagnosis and prognosis of reversible ...

Regional gas exchange evaluation during ex vivo lung perfusion in a swine model of localized lung dysfunction

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) allows the evaluation of lungs that do not meet standard transplantation criteria. Current procedures do not permit the identification of regional functional deficits. We investigated the feasibility of assessing lobar gas exchange during EVLP in a swine model.
