Association of IGF-1 and IGF-2 genotypes with respiratory muscle strength in individuals with COPD: a cross-sectional study

Medwave; 24 (3), 2024
INTRODUCTION: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a systemic disease characterized not only by respiratory symptoms but also by physical deconditioning and muscle weakness. One prominent manifestation of this disease is the decline in respiratory muscle strength. Previous studies have linked the gen...

Respiratory muscles: structure, function and relationship with the ACE gene: a brief morphofunctional communication

Int. j. morphol; 41 (2), 2023
SUMMARY: Pulmonary ventilation is a mechanical process in which the respiratory muscles act in coordination to maintain the oxygenation of the organism. Any alteration in the performance of these muscles may reduce the effectiveness of the process. The respiratory muscles differ from the other skeletal m...

Evaluation of pulmonary function in patients of non-specific low back pain

Rev. Pesqui. Fisioter; 13 (1), 2023
INTRODUCTION: Diaphragm is the primary inspiratory muscle and it plays an essential role in controlling the spine during postural control. In nonspecific low back pain, the diaphragm muscle becomes weak, due to which the pulmonary functions may decrease. To the best of our knowledge there is a scarcity o...

Función pulmonar: función pulmonar en enfermedades neuromusculares

La valoración funcional respiratoria en los pacientes con enfermedades neuromusculares permite cuantificar los volúmenes y capacidades pulmonares, flujos de la tos y la efectividad de la ventilación. La oximetría de pulso y monitorización no i...

Respiratory muscle sequelae in young university students infected by coronavirus disease 2019: an observational study

SUMMARY BACKGROUND: The infection caused by coronavirus disease 2019 can lead to respiratory sequelae in individuals who have experienced severe or mild symptoms. METHODS: An observational, cross-sectional study was developed, following the STROBE guidelines. Maximal inspiratory and expiratory mouth pr...

Fisiología respiratoria: el control de la respiración

El control de la respiración comprende un componente automático involuntario y un componente voluntario, con centros de control en el tronco encefálico, principalmente en la médula oblonga y en el puente, y en la corteza cerebral. Estos cent...

Correlação entre capacidade funcional, força muscular respiratória e força de preensão palmar em candidatos a transplante de fígado

Clin. biomed. res; 42 (4), 2022
Introdução: O transplante de fígado (TxF) é o procedimento padrão recomendado para pacientes com doença hepática terminal. Muitos, enquanto aguardam o TxF apresentam como deterioração funcional a diminuição da força muscular respiratória, força de preensão palmar e capacidade funcional. O ...

Entrenamiento muscular inspiratorio en pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca: una revisión de revisiones

RESUMEN: El objetivo de esta revisión fue conocer la influencia del entrenamiento muscular inspiratorio (EMI) sobre la capacidad aeróbica y la fuerza muscular inspiratoria (FMI) en pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca (IC). Realizamos una revisión de revisiones sistemáticas en PubMed y Web of Scienc...

Treinamento cardiorrespiratório e força dos músculos ventilatórios de idosas: ensaio controlado randomizado duplo cego
Cardiorespiratory training and ventilatory muscle strength in elderly women: double blind randomized controlled trial

Fisioter. Bras; 22 (4), 2021
A dinapenia da musculatura ventilatória relaciona-se com as complicações respiratórias pós-operatórias e aos óbitos de idosos submetidos a procedimentos cirúrgicos de etiologia toracoabdominal. Objetivo: Verificar o efeito crônico do treinamento cardiorrespiratório sobre a força dos músculos ...

Lung age and respiratory muscle strength in female volleyball players

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Lung age estimation is a useful approach to determine pulmonary pathologies. In literature, no studies have evaluated and compared lung age in athletes with healthy volunteers. This study aims to compare lung age and respiratory muscle strength in female volleyball players and age-mat...
