1. The influence of inspiratory muscle training combined with the Pilates method on lung function in elderly women: A randomized controlled trial
OBJECTIVE: Aging is progressive, and its effects on the respiratory system include changes in the composition of the connective tissues of the lung that influence thoracic and lung compliance. The Powerbreathe® K5 is a device used for inspiratory muscle training with resistance adapted to the level of the inspiratory muscles to be trained. The Pilates meth

2. RESPIRATORY MUSCLE STRENGTH IN IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS AFTER TRAINING PROGRAM
ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the impact of a physiotherapy protocol in maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) by manovacuometry. AIS may change the respiratory dynamics and the performance of inspiratory and expiratory muscles, affecting ventilatory capacity. Methods: Patients with AIS aged 10

3. Iron restriction increases myoglobin gene and protein expression in Soleus muscle of rats
ABSTRACT Iron is an important trace element for proper cell functioning. It is present in cytochromes, hemoglobin and myoglobin (Mb), where it binds to oxygen. It is also an electron acceptor in the respiratory chain. Mb is an 18 kDa heme-protein, highly expressed in skeletal muscle and heart. The expression of several genes involved in the metabolism of iro

4. Acute effects of Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP) on different levels in ventilation and electrical activity of sternocleidomastoid and parasternal muscles in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients: a randomized controlled trial
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the acute effects of EPAP on the activity of sternocleidomastoid (SCM), parasternal muscles and ventilatory parameters in COPD patients. Method Twenty-four patients with COPD were studied using surface electromyography (sEMG) and a ventilometer. Patients were randomly assigned to EPAP 10 cmH2O-EPAP10 or 15 cmH2O-EPAP15 for

5. Association between respiratory and postural adaptations and self-perception of school-aged children with mouth breathing in relation to their quality of life
Objective: To investigate the respiratory and postural adaptations associated with mouth and nasal breathing and to evaluate the associations of such adaptations in mouth breathers' self-perceived quality of life. Method: Cross-sectional study with mouth breathers (initial n=116 and final n=48) and nasal breathers (initial n=131 and final n=24) from element

6. Evaluation of Respiratory Muscle Strength in Mouth Breathers: Clinical Evidences
Introduction The child who chronically breathes through the mouth may develop a weakness of the respiratory muscles. Researchers and clinical are seeking for methods of instrumental evaluation to gather complementary data to clinical evaluations. With this in mind, it is important to evaluate breathing muscles in the child with Mouth Breathing. Objective

7. Intercostal and forearm muscle deoxygenation during respiratory fatigue in patients with heart failure: potential role of a respiratory muscle metaboreflex
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of respiratory muscle fatigue on intercostal and forearm muscle perfusion and oxygenation in patients with heart failure. Five clinically stable heart failure patients with respiratory muscle weakness (age, 66±12 years; left ventricle ejection fraction, 34±3%) and nine matched healthy controls underwent

8. Strength of the respiratory and lower limb muscles and functional capacity in chronic stroke survivors with different physical activity levels
BACKGROUND: The assessment of strength and its relationships with functional capacity could contribute to more specific and effective disability management of stroke survivors. OBJECTIVE: To compare and investigate associations between measures of strength and functional capacity of 98 chronic stroke survivors, stratified into three groups, according

9. Effect of singing training on total laryngectomees wearing a tracheoesophageal voice prosthesis
PURPOSE: To assess the effect of a program of singing training on the voice of total laryngectomees wearing tracheoesophageal voice prosthesis, considering the quality of alaryngeal phonation, vocal extension and the musical elements of tunning and legato. METHODS: Five laryngectomees wearing tracheoesophageal voice prosthesis completed the singing training

10. Association between muscle strength and the cardiopulmonary status of individuals living with HIV/AIDS
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare aerobic function [anaerobic threshold (%VO2-AT), respiratory compensation point (%VO2-RCP) and peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak)] between physically active patients with HIV/AIDS and matched controls and to examine associations between disease status, poor muscle strength, depression (as estimated by the profile

11. Influência do treinamento muscular pós-operatório sobre as medidas de desempenho da musculatura respiratória em pacientes no pós-operatório de revascularização do miocárdio = : Influence of muscular training on measures of the respiratory muscles in postoperative coronary artery bypass grafting / Influence of muscular training on measures of the respiratory muscles in postoperative coronary artery bypass grafting
Justificativa e Objetivo: Complicações pulmonares estão entre as maiores causas de morbidade e mortalidade do pós-operatório (PO) de cirurgia cardíaca. As causas são diversas e estão relacionadas à disfunção pulmonar causada pela circulação extracorpórea, esternotomia, uso da artéria mamária interna, drenos torácicos e à dor no período pó

12. Avaliação da função respiratória em pacientes com esclerose múltipla
Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is associated with muscle strength reduction, including respiratory muscles. Respiratory complications are the most important cause of death among patients with advanced MS. Aspiration pneumonia, atelectasis, and respiratory insufficiency are frequent in this group of patients. These complications arise as a consequence
