Pneumo-phono-articulatory coordination assessment in dysarthria cases: a cross-sectional study

Säo Paulo med. j; 136 (3), 2018
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Pneumo-phono-articulatory coordination is often impaired in dysarthric patients. Because all speech is produced upon exhalation, adequate respiratory support and coordination are essential for communication. Nevertheless, studies investigating respiratory parameters for speech are ...

Between-occasion repeatability of fractional exhaled nitric oxide measurements in children

J. bras. pneumol; 44 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to assess short-term repeatability of measurements of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) and its correlates in children in the 6- to 9-year age bracket participating in a respiratory epidemiological survey. FENO was measured in two sessions one week apart in 101 chil...

Influencia del polimorfismo inserción / deleción (rs4646994) del gen de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina en la presión inspiratoria y espiratoria máxima de jóvenes chilenos sedentarios

Int. j. morphol; 35 (4), 2017
RESUMEN: La expresión de los genes puede impactar sobre el rendimiento muscular. En este aspecto el polimorfismo del gen de la Enzima Convertidora de Angiotensina (ECA), dependiendo de su inserción (Ins) o deleción (Del) puede potenciar diferentes cualidades musculares. Del mismo modo, si consideramos...
