Effect on muscle strength after blood flow restriction resistance exercise in early in-patient rehabilitation of post-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease acute exacerbation, a single blinded, randomized controlled study
CONCLUSION: BFR-RE is feasible and acceptable in patients with post-COPDAE. A 2-week inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation with BFR-RE improved muscle strength of knee extensors, but not a greater extent than the same rehabilitation program with resistance exercise without BFR. Further studies could be considered with a longer training duration and progression of resistance load.

Effects of CPAP treatment on electroencephalographic activity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome during deep sleep: Preliminary findings of a cross-sectional study
Conclusions: CPAP prolongs N3 sleep and increases the power and amplitude of slow EEG waves during N3 sleep, which indicates an improvement in sleep quality and further provides evidence for recommendation of CPAP treatment for OSAS patients.PMID:37967573 | DOI:10.1177/14799731231215094 (Source: Chronic Respiratory Disease)

A systematic review of exercise studies for individuals hospitalized with an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Focus on the principles of exercise training
CONCLUSIONS: Studies have not adequately reported the exercise prescription in accordance with the principles of exercise training nor reported all the FITT components of the exercise prescription and patient's adherence to them. Therefore, interpretation of the current literature is limited and information for developing exercise prescriptions to individuals hospitalized with an AECOPD is lacking.PMID:37967847 | DOI:10.1177/14799731231215363 (Source: Chronic Respiratory Disease)

Comparison of health-related quality of life measures in asthma-COPD overlap
This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the AQLQ and CAT in subjects with ACO.METHODS: Subjects were enrolled from two previously described observational studies in Beijing, China. ACO was defined by a consensus definition from a roundtable discussion. All subjects completed the AQLQ, CAT, St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), pulmonary function tests, and the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ)-5. Cross-sectional construct validity was evaluated by correlating the AQLQ and CAT with SGRQ score and other measures of asthma and COPD severity.RESULTS: 147 subjects with ACO were recruited. There were floor effec...
