Acute effects of expiratory positive pressure on autonomic cardiac modulation during spontaneous and slow deep breathing in COPD patients [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2020 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

Use of continuous positive airway pressure reduces airway reactivity in adults with asthma [PDF]
, 2012 Asthma is characterised by airway hyperreactivity, which is primarily treated with β-adrenergic bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory agents. However, mechanical strain during breathing is an important modulator of airway responsiveness and we have ...

Computational fluid dynamics analysis of the upper airway after rapid maxillary expansion: a case report [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Assessment of the upper airway volume, morphology, and mechanics is of great importance for the orthodontic patient. We hypothesize that upper airway dimensions have significant effects on the dynamics of the airway flow and that both the ...
