A case report: 1-year follow-up of cerebral sparganosis mansoni with a stroke-like onset
Sparganosis mansoni is a parasitic disease caused by infection with the larvae of Spirometra spp. tapeworms. Its clinical manifestations and severity depend on the migration and the location of the parasites. The...

Compensation of Respiratory-Related Postural Perturbation Is Achieved by Maintenance of Head-to-Pelvis Alignment in Healthy Humans
Conclusion Extreme lung volume variations over vital capacity is associated with changes of thoracic curvature bringing it outside the normal range, which would theoretically compromise verticality. This is however fully compensated by adaptations of the cervical curvature and pelvic tilt to preserve adequate head-to-pelvis verticality and horizontal gaze alignment. Lung volume related postural perturbations increase with age, but age did not affect head-to-pelvis alignment. Future studies are needed to investigate potential postural dysfunction in chronic respiratory diseases that induce changes of lung volume or chest g...

Acute cardiopulmonary responses to strength training, high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training
ConclusionsDespite an equal training duration and a similar acute metabolic response, large differences with regard to the training impact time and the cardiopulmonary response give evident. HIIT and MCT, but less ST, induced a sufficient cardiopulmonary response, which is important for the preventive effects of training; however, large differences in intensity were apparent for ST.

A Comparative Study of Smartphone Game with Spirometry for Pulmonary Function Assessment in Stroke Patients.
Conclusion: We compared the relationship between the SGA and the spirometry as certified pulmonary function test. The SGA data were statistically significant and reliable for pulmonary function assessment in stroke patients. It will therefore be useful during rehabilitation to improve pulmonary function and clinical monitoring in stroke patients. PMID: 30519571 [PubMed - in process]

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.

A True Hematologic Emergency
​BY GREGORY TAYLOR, DO, & JACKLYN M​CPARLANE, DO​A 33-year-old woman with a past medical history of sickle cell SS presented to the emergency department with chest pain, difficulty breathing, and a cough for two days. Her chest pain was diffuse, without radiation, and partially reproducible. Her cough was nonproductive, and she also reported fever and chills.The patient noted this was different from her normal back and leg pain from past sickle cell crises. She was following up with a sickle cell specialist, and was compliant with her hydroxyurea treatment.Her temperature was 102.8°F, blood pressure was 94/60 mm...

Measurement properties of maximal cardiopulmonary exercise tests protocols in persons after stroke: A systematic review.
CONCLUSION: No judgement could be made on which protocol is "best" for measuring VO2max in persons after stroke due to lack of high-quality studies on the measurement properties of the cardiopulmonary exercise test. PMID: 28862313 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is independently associated with hypertension in men: A survey design analysis using nationwide survey data
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between COPD and hypertension by using nationally representative data. This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey V conducted during 2010 to 2012. Hypertension was defined as a mean systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mm Hg and/or a diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mm Hg, or current consumption of antihypertensive medications. A diagnosis of COPD was defined as a smoking history of at least 10 pack-years with airflow limitation on spirometry. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to investigate...

Restrictive Spirometry Pattern is Associated with Increased Arterial Stiffness in Men and Women.
CONCLUSIONS: Both restrictive spirometry pattern and reduced FVC were associated with a higher risk of arterial stiffness, not only in males but also in females. Clinically, assessment of arterial stiffness might be considered in individuals with restrictive spirometry pattern. PMID: 28411113 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effects of bidi smoking on all-cause mortality and cardiorespiratory outcomes in men from south Asia: an observational community-based substudy of the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology Study (PURE)
We examined the effects of bidi smoking on baseline respiratory impairment, and prospectively collected data for all-cause mortality and cardiorespiratory events in men from this region. Methods This substudy of the international, community-based Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study was done in seven centres in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Men aged 35–70 years completed spirometry testing and standardised questionnaires at baseline and were followed up yearly. We used multilevel regression to compare cross-sectional baseline cardiorespiratory symptoms, spirometry measurements, and follow-up events (all-c...

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...
