Acute effects of expiratory positive pressure on autonomic cardiac modulation during spontaneous and slow deep breathing in COPD patients [PDF]
Aim: to evaluate the acute effects of expiratory positive airway pressure on cardiac autonomic modulation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients during spontaneous breathing and slow deep breathing. Methods: 17 patients were evaluated. The R-R

Evaluation of Respiratory Dynamics in an Asymmetric Lung Compliance Model [PDF]
Background Unilateral lung hyperinflation develops in lungs with asymmetric compliance, which can lead to vital instability. The aim of this study was to investigate the respiratory dynamics and the effect of airway diameter on the distribution of tidal ...

Effect of Depressive Symptoms on the Adherence to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients Using a Path Analysis-based Approach [PDF]
Background The treatment adherence is closely related to the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) , which is also strongly influenced by patients' psychosocial characteristics ...
