Predictive significance of the six-minute walk distance for long-term survival in chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure [PDF]

, 2007
Background: The 6-min walk distance ( 6-MWD) is a global marker of functional capacity and prognosis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD), but less explored in other chronic respiratory diseases.

Long Term Non-invasive Ventilation in Children With Central Hypoventilation

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020
Central hypoventilation (CH) is a quite rare disorder caused by some congenital or acquired conditions. It is featured by increased arterial concentration of serum carbon dioxide related to an impairment of respiratory drive. Patients affected by CH need

Frequency and functional translation of low muscle mass in overweight and obese patients with COPD

Respiratory Research, 2021
Background Cut offs for fat-free mass index (FFMI) and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) are available for diagnosing low muscle mass in patients with COPD. This study aimed to investigate: (1) the frequency of low muscle mass (FFMI and ASMI)

ERS Clinical Practice Guidelines: high-flow nasal cannula in acute respiratory failure.

, 2022
BACKGROUND High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has become a frequently used non-invasive form of respiratory support in acute settings, however evidence supporting its use has only recently emerged. These guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for

Restricted spirometry and cardiometabolic comorbidities: results from the international population based BOLD study

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background Whether restricted spirometry, i.e. low Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), predicts chronic cardiometabolic disease is not definitely known. In this international population-based study, we assessed the relationship between restricted spirometry and

Similarity measurements of B cell receptor repertoire in baseline mice showed spectrum convergence of IgM

BMC Immunology, 2022
Background The B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire is highly diverse among individuals. Poor similarity of the spectrum among inbred baseline mice may limit the ability to discriminate true signals from those involving specific experimental factors.
