Inspiratory muscle training in interstitial lung disease: a systematic scoping review
J. bras. pneumol; 47 (4), 2021
ABSTRACT Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been described as one of the components of the treatment of chronic lung conditions such as obstructive and restrictive lung diseases. Although the number of studies showing results of IMT in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) is scarce when compa...

Systemic inflammation and oxidative stress in adults with bronchiectasis: association with clinical and functional features
Clinics; 76 (), 2021
OBJECTIVES: To compare the inflammatory and oxidative stress (OS) states of adults with bronchiectasis with those of healthy controls and correlate inflammatory and OS levels with lung function and physical capacity. METHODS: This study used a cross-sectional design. Seventy-four adults with bronchiecta...

Pulmonology approach in the investigation of chronic unexplained dyspnea
J. bras. pneumol; 47 (1), 2021
ABSTRACT Chronic unexplained dyspnea and exercise intolerance represent common, distressing symptoms in outpatients. Clinical history taking and physical examination are the mainstays for diagnostic evaluation. However, the cause of dyspnea may remain elusive even after comprehensive diagnostic evaluatio...

Exercise-induced desaturation in subjects with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis: laboratory-based tests versus field-based exercise tests
J. bras. pneumol; 47 (2), 2021
ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the validity of field walking tests to identify exercise-induced hypoxemia and to compare cardiorespiratory responses and perceived effort between laboratory-based and field-based exercise tests in subjects with bronchiectasis. Methods: This was a cross-sectional stud...
Home-based training program in patients with chronic heart failure and reduced ejection fraction: a randomized pilot study
Clinics; 76 (), 2021
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to compare the effects of home-and center-based exercise training programs on functional capacity, inspiratory muscle strength, daily physical activity level, and quality of life (QoL) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) over a 12-week period. METHODS: This study included 2...
Reliability and validity of six-minute step test in patients with heart failure
Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (10), 2021
Exercise intolerance is the hallmark consequence of advanced chronic heart failure (HF). The six-minute step test (6MST) has been considered an option for the six-minute walk test because it is safe, inexpensive, and can be applied in small places. However, its reliability and concurrent validity has sti...
