Training drills in high performance badminton —effects of interval duration on internal and external loads
Conclusion: Anaerobic metabolic stimulus increases while running distance and velocity decrease, in case of longer interval durations. Even though there was no impact on stroke precision, extending the intervals beyond 30 s might impair external training load and skill performance. Consequently, interval duration should be defined carefully depending on the training goals.

Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry and Risks of Macrovascular, Microvascular Complications and Mortality Among Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes
Chest. 2023 Jun 17:S0012-3692(23)00794-8. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2023.05.031. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: The prospective associations of preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) with new-onset macrovascular and microvascular complications and mortality among individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and whether PRISm enhances the prediction ability of an established office-based risk score remains to be elucidated.RESEARCH QUESTION: Can PRISm be used as a predictor of poor prognosis in individuals with T2D?STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: We included 20,047 study participants with T2D and complete data on spirometry ...

Trends in the Prevalence of Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases and Multimorbidity across Socioeconomic Gradients in Rural Southwest China
ConclusionsThe prevalence of NCDs multimorbidity increased substantially across all socioeconomic gradients in rural southwest China. Future interventions to further manage NCDs and their multimorbidity must be tailored to address socioeconomic factors.

Sleep apnea-COPD overlap syndrome is associated with larger left carotid atherosclerotic plaques
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that the presence of OS in COPD patients is associated with larger left carotid atherosclerotic plaques, indicating that OS might be screened in all COPD patients to identify those with higher risk of stroke.PMID:37025690 | PMC:PMC10070750 | DOI:10.3389/fcvm.2023.1104377

Cardiovascular response to exercise in preterm-born children with and without low lung function
Conclusions: Despite being at risk of reduced exercise tolerance, preterm-born children with low lung function show comparable cardiovascular response to exercise to preterm-born and term-born controls.

Can you learn to cough after having a stroke?
A strong cough, requires powerful coordinated contraction of expiratory (abdominal) muscles. The expiratory muscles contract to build up high positive intrapleural and intra-airway pressures for development of peak expiratory Flow rates. Expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) has been shown to improve parameters related to pulmonary function, speech, and cough.However, no one has investigated what changes occur in the activation of abdominal muscles after training. The aim of this study is to clarify which role plays the coordination of abdominal muscles in expiratory flows. The null hypothesis was that stroke patients...

Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry in Relation to Cardiovascular Outcomes: A Large Prospective Cohort Study
Chest. 2022 Nov 10:S0012-3692(22)04064-8. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2022.11.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) is a heterogeneous condition characterized by a normal forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1)/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio with underlying impairment of pulmonary function. Data relating to the association of baseline and trajectories of PRISm with diverse cardiovascular outcomes is sparse.RESEARCH QUESTION: How do baseline and trajectories of PRISm impact subsequent cardiovascular events?STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: In the UK Biobank cohort study, we included c...

Incremental prognostic value of arterial elastance in mild-to-moderate idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
AbstractPrevious reports suggested that poor pulmonary function was associated with increased arterial elastance (Ea) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and systemic sclerosis. The mechanisms connecting pulmonary function and Ea have not yet been accurately studied in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The present study was designed to assess Ea in IPF patients without chronic severe pulmonary hypertension and to determine its prognostic role over a medium-term follow-up. This retrospective study included 60 consecutive patients with mild-to-moderate IPF (73.8 ± 6.6 years, 75% mal...

Respiratory function in chronic stroke patients: an observational study
Conclusion: Our results showed that chronic stroke patients show significant impairment in pulmonary function, cough effectiveness, and respiratory muscle strength compared to the control group, and as a consequence, a loss of functionality at this level.

Reduced Forced Vital Capacity and the Number of Chest Wall Surgeries are Associated with Decreased Exercise Capacity in Children with Congenital Heart Disease
AbstractLow forced vital capacity (FVC) is associated with decreased exercise capacity in CHD. Multiple prior cardiac surgeries have been associated with low FVC. We seek to understand the relationship between low FVC, number of cardiac surgeries and cardiopulmonary response leading to decreased exercise capacity. Retrospective chart review of demographics, surgical history and exercise testing including spirometry was performed in patients with CHD. Single ventricle patients were excluded. Low FVC was defined as a Z-score below the lower limit of normal. Exercise parameters were expressed as a percent of predicted. There ...
