Is there an association between postural balance and pulmonary function in adults with asthma?
ClinicsOBJECTIVE: Asthma may cause systemic repercussions due to its severity and the effects of treatment. Our objective was to compare posture, balance, functional capacity, and quality of life (QOL) according to the severity of disease, as assessed by ...

The Useful Side of Motion: Using Head Motion Parameters to Correct for Respiratory Confounds in BOLD fMRI [PDF]
arXivAcquiring accurate external respiratory data during functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is challenging, prompting the exploration of machine learning methods to estimate respiratory variation (RV) from fMRI data. Respiration induces head motion, including real and pseudo motion, which likely provides useful information about respiratory events.
