Effect of expiratory muscle strength training on cough and swallowing in patients with dysphagia following stroke
Conclusion: EMT had improved on not only the coughing function but also swallowing function for a stroke patient with dysphagia. These results suggest that EMT leads to improvement of airway clearance and reduction of aspiration risk, and may be expected as a means to prevent aspiration pneumonia.

Cardiopulmonary factors affecting 6-min walk distance in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies
In conclusion, impaired DLCO due to interstitial lung disease was suggested to be a fundamental parameter affecting exercise capacity, in addition to heart involvement, in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.

Cardiovascular comorbidity in Danish patients with scleroderma-associated interstitial lung disease
Conclusion: CC was frequent among patients with SSc-ILD but was not associated with increased mortality. As expected, PH was associated with severe excess mortality.

Change in pulmonary function and cardiorespiratory fitness following chemotherapy in testicular cancer patients - a pilot study
Conclusions: There was a substantial reduction in VO2max after BEP corresponding to three decades of physiological aging. This reduction may reflect a decrease in the patients’ cardiac function and oxygen carrying capacity, and not to reduced DLco.

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]

New evaluation of gait symmetry/asymmetry in COPD patients using an accelerometer
Conclusion: LI measured by a tri-axial accelerometer evaluated gait symmetry/asymmetry accurately and might be clinically useful for the evaluation of balance in elderly COPD patients.

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...

Long-Term Exposure to Ambient Fine Particulate Matter and Renal Function in Older Men: The Veterans Administration Normative Aging Study
Conclusions: In this longitudinal sample of older men, the findings supported the hypothesis that long-term PM2.5 exposure negatively affects renal function and increases renal function decline.

Factors relating to impaired stroke volume during the 6-minute walk test in patients with systemic sclerosis.
CONCLUSIONS: Impaired stroke volume in patients with systemic sclerosis was observed at rest and during exercise, and the factors relating to the cardiac response seemed to be pulmonary function and the extent of pulmonary hypertension. PMID: 27463117 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Impaired Pulmonary Diffusion in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Conclusions Subjects with HFpEF display altered pulmonary function and gas exchange at rest and especially during exercise, which contributes to exercise intolerance. Novel therapies that improve gas diffusion may be effective to improve exercise tolerance in patients with HFpEF.

Nitrous oxide-based techniques versus nitrous oxide-free techniques for general anaesthesia.
CONCLUSIONS: Given the evidence from this Cochrane review, the avoidance of nitrous oxide may be reasonable in participants with pre-existing poor pulmonary function or at high risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Since there are eight studies awaiting classification, selection bias may exist in our systematic review. PMID: 26545294 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Decreased Tidal Volume May Limit Cardiopulmonary Performance During Exercise in Subacute Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that diminished VT in subacute stroke patients may limit performance during submaximal and peak effort of CPET. Rehabilitation professionals should consider methods for improving pulmonary function during stroke rehabilitation. PMID: 26034936 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

C-reactive protein: Its correlations with pulmonary function, physical capacity and anthropometric measurements in patients with metabolic syndrome
Conclusions: It was found negative relationships between CRP level with PF and PC. On the contrary, there were positive correlations of CRP with parameters of BC. We think that it can be provided decline in the CRP level and increment in PF improving the functional capacity and body composition with aerobic exercise in patients with MS.

‘A clear case of chronic aspiration of starch (potato)’
In June 2011 a 74 years old‐non smoker woman came to our attention complaining for months dyspnea and dry cough resistant to nonspecific antibiotic therapy (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and levofloxacin, prescribed by her physician, for 10 days). She had no history of respiratory diseases; she had instead history of cerebri stroke (in March 2006), without neurological outcome, and throat cancer treated with radiotherapy 10 years before. When she came to our attention, physical examination showed dry crackles bilaterally in the lower lung fields. Pulmonary function test showed a mild restrictive respiratory pattern while t...

Arrhythmia and exercise intolerance in Fontan patients: Current status and future burden
Conclusions: The prevalence of clinically relevant arrhythmia and severe exercise intolerance increased significantly with age in Danish Fontan patients. The future Fontan burden was estimated showing an increase in the prevalence of older patients, clinically relevant arrhythmia, and severe exercise intolerance.
