Carotid body Thermoreceptors, sympathetic neural activation, and cardiometabolic disease

Biol. Res; 49 (), 2016
The carotid body (CB) is the main peripheral chemoreceptor that senses the arterial PO2, PCO2 and pH. In response to hypoxemia, hypercapnia and acidosis, carotid chemosensory discharge elicits reflex respiratory, autonomic and cardiovascular adjustments. The classical construct considers the CB as the ma...

Home or community-based pulmonary rehabilitation for individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation (OPR) has shown positive results. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of home or community-based pulmonary rehabilitation (HCPR) in indi...

Rehabilitación respiratoria en pacientes EPOC: experiencia en Atención Primaria de Salud

Respiratory rehabilitation improves physical capacity and quality of life in COPD patients as it has been previously reported. In Chile there are few and unpublished experiences on respiratory rehabilitation programs (RRP) implemented in primary health care (PHC). Our aim was to evaluate RRP outcome in C...

Análisis del signo de Hoover en relación con parametros funcionales, radiologicos y de radio de curvatura en pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica
[Relationship between Hoover sign, functional and variables, and curvature radius in patients with obstructive pulmonary disease]

Medicina (B.Aires); 63 (5), 2003
The purpose of the present study was: 1) to relate the Hoover sign -SH (+)- with several functional (spirometry and lung volumes) and radiographic (AP x-ray) parameters, 2) to characterize the changes in diaphragmatic curvature radius and the efficiency and to establish some relationships with the functi...
