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...

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.

Cardiovascular comorbidities based on impaired pulmonary function in non-smoking population
Conclusion: The prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities in non-smokers was higher in restrictive group and COPD, compared to normal control. Restrictive group was independently associated with coronary artery disease in non-smokers.

The syndrome of respiratory failure in acute stroke patients
Conclusions: The assessment for respiratory failure (arterial blood gasses) should include in routine diagnostic protocol for all acute stroke patients. t-He/O2 effective treatment option for that category of patients since it improves clinical neurologic disability and respiratory failure symptoms.

Effects of incremental inspiratory load on inspiratory muscles activity in stroke subjects in comparison to healthy individuals
Conclusion: Incremental inspiratory loads were able to increase muscles activity in stroke subjects and controls, differently. Reduce the activity of paretic side inspiratory muscle suggests the influence of the disease on muscular activity.

Test-retest reliability of respiratory muscle testing in stroke
Conclusion: There was good test-retest reliability of MIP and MEP measures, but SNIP shows more variation and may require a practice session in stroke patients.

Frequency of occurrence of risk factors of cardiovascular diseases and assessment of the total cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Conclusion: in 75% of patients with COPD, an increased 10-year risk of all fatal complications of atherosclerosis is determined. The study indicates the need to assess the risk by SCORE in patients with initial manifestations of COPD in order to timely correction of the identified risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Impact of acute active and passive stress on physiological responses in adults with asthma
Conclusions: This study provides evidence that acute stress negatively influences the physiology of asthma patients. Active and passive stressors have differential impacts on respiratory and cardiovascular responses in adults with asthma. The active stress task seemed to be associated with increased metabolic work without affecting the caliber of bronchi and the passive task was associated with decreased CO2 production potentially suggesting hypocapnia.

Non-smoking COPD: an overlooked systemic disease, modifiable by physical activity based on studying a cohort of 386,304 subjects
Conclusions: Non-smoking COPD, a sizable majority among all COPDs in this Asian cohort, is a systemic disease with multi-system extra-pulmonary involvement. Their mortality risks disappeared in the long run by those COPDs engaged in regular exercise of at least 30 min/day of moderate intensity.

Patient characteristics of new initiators of glycopyrronium bromide (GLY) - A multinational, multi-database real-world drug-utilization study
Conclusion: In real life, majority of first-time GLY use was in line with product label regarding dosing and COPD severity. More than 1/4 of patients used long-acting bronchodilators before GLY start. Cardiovascular comorbidity was considerable.

Ventilatory pattern in chronic stroke survivors
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare dynamic lung volumes in chronic stroke survivors (SS) with a control group (CG) of healthy people matched by age and sex.Forced spirometries were performed, in line with the international statements. The reference values were calculated with the predictive equations proposed by Roca et al,1986.T test was used to determine differences in dynamic lung volumes between SS and CG.A cluster analysis was practiced to classify 2 different groups within the SS regarding to their dynamic lung volumes.The average age in SS (n=33) was 56.9±15.7 years. There were no significan...

Prevalence of common diseases in COPD patients versus lung-healthy control subjects: Results from the German COSYCONET study
COSYCONET investigates the interrelationship of COPD and comorbidities with regard to course and prognosis of the disease. The present analysis examined the prevalence of selected common diseases in the COPD cohort compared to apparently lung-healthy subjects from the population-based reference cohorts KORA and SHIP.Spirometry was performed in all subjects and COPD patients were graded according to GOLD criteria. Subjects from KORA/SHIP without known COPD, asthma or chronic bronchitis and with FEV1/FVC≥0.7 were regarded as apparently lung-healthy. Prevalences of myocardial infarction, stroke, diabetes, hypertension, obe...
