The Effectiveness of Spinal, Diaphragmatic, and Specific Stabilization Exercise Manual Therapy and Respiratory-Related Interventions in Patients with Chronic Nonspecific Neck Pain: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(2022)Patients with nonspecific chronic neck pain (NSCNP) exhibit respiratory dysfunction. This systematic review aimed to analyze randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effect of spinal and/or diaphragmatic and/or ... -
Effects of endothelin-1 on KCl-induced contractions of airway smooth muscles
(2000)The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) on KCl-induced contractions. Tracheal strips were obtained from 12 male rabbits, perfused with Krebs solution and aerated continuously by ... -
Epithelium-dependent regulation of airways smooth muscle function. A histamine-nitric oxide pathway
(1998)The airway epithelium is responsible for the production of a number of arachidonic acid and non-prostanoid inhibitory factors. Epithelium synthesizes nitric oxide (NO) which may be important in regulating the function of ... -
Evaluation of respiratory parameters in finswimmers regarding gender, swimming style and distance
(2018)Aim: The purpose of our study was to investigate the differences in the finswimmers’ physiological characteristics, as far as gender, the swimming style and the different swimming distance are concerned. Methods: 52 ... -
Handgrip force and maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressures in critically ill patients with a tracheostomy
(2021)Background The association between peripheral striated muscle strength and respiratory muscle strength has been confirmed in a number of disorders. However, this association is unknown in intensive care unit patients with ... -
Insulin causes a transient induction of proliferation via activation of the PI3-kinase pathway in airway smooth muscle cells
(2007)Insulin regulates glucose metabolism and activates cell growth. As the respiratory system is an alternative route for insulin administration in patients with diabetes mellitus, we studied the effect of insulin on rabbit ... -
Nasal high-flow oxygen versus noninvasive ventilation in acute exacerbation of copd: Protocol for a randomised noninferiority clinical trial
(2020)Background: Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is considered as the first-line treatment for acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) complicated by respiratory acidosis. Recent studies demonstrate a role of nasal high-flow oxygen ... -
Pulmonary function testing in COPD: looking beyond the curtain of FEV1
(2021)Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management remains challenging due to the high heterogeneity of clinical symptoms and the complex pathophysiological basis of the disease. Airflow limitation, diagnosed by ...
