A study published on the Respiratory Medicine Journal investigates the need for additional research on smokers with respiratory symptoms (dyspnoea, cough, or sputum production) and normal spirometry. The purpose of this study was to evaulate whether symptomatic smokers with borderline spirometry (post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratio between 5th to 20th percentile of predicted values) have pulmonary...
The Respiratory Medicine Journal presents a new study demonstrating the prognostic value of CPET test parameters as pre-assessment tool for lung transplant ILD patients. The purpose of this work was to determine if parameters assessed during Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) while using supplemental oxygen can independently predict one-year transplant- free survival in patients with Interstitial...
Interesting literature review on the Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutic Journal focusing on the role of cardio pulmonary exercise test (CPET) in cirrhosis patients. The prognostic value of CPET for pre-and post-transplant mortality is evaluated in patients with cirrhosis listed for liver transplantation. In particular, this review analyses whether CPET remained predictive after adjustment...
This study published on the Heart Journal analyses the diagnostic role of cardiopulmonary exercise test for detecting and ruling of systemic sclerosis pulmonary arterial hypertension (SSC-associated PAH). Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating disease with limited survival and occurs as a frequent complication in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). A definite diagnosis of PAH...
A study on the Journal of Physical Therapy Science investigates how inspiratory and expiratory training can improve cough capacity in stroke patients, which can reduce pulmonary complications. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between respiratory muscle strength improvement through respiratory training and cough capacity in stroke patients. Forty-two stroke patients...
