ABSTRACT Introduction: Cardiopulmonary function is directly related to the body's ability perform metabolism under aerobic conditions. It a key characteristic for training of professional swimmers. believed that adding interval traditional workouts may contribute endurance these athletes. Objective: Evaluate effects on cardiorespiratory capacity Methods: Twenty volunteer swimmers were randomly ...

introduction: tuberculosis (tb), with different types of respiratory tract involvements, has a high rate of mortality all around the world. endobronchial involvement, which is a slightly common tuberculous infection, requires special attention due to its severe complications such as bronchostenosis. aim of study of this study was describes, one type of pulmonary tuberculosis with less diagnosed...

BACKGROUND The 6-min walk test (6MWT) is representative of daily life activities and reflects the functional capacity of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Information on the cardiopulmonary and gas exchange responses to the 6MWT is limited. OBJECTIVES We aimed to analyze the breath-by-breath cardiopulmonary and gas exchange responses of patients with COPD during the ...

The role of chronic cardiopulmonary disease as a risk factor for immediate and late mortality was evaluated retrospectively in a consecutive series of 116 patients who had had resections for stage Ia non-oat-cell lung cancers. The presence of chronic cardiopulmonary disease was diagnosed on the clinical history and preoperative assessment of lung and heart function by traditional means. Patient...

Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest is associated with injury to the vasculature and microcirculation leading to coronary microvascular dysfunction, permeability changes and cardiac dysfunction. In the setting of cardiopulmonary bypass with cardioplegia, poorly-controlled diabetes is associated with significant changes in endothelium-dependent and independent vas...

The purpose of this paper is to provide strategies for cardiopulmonary exercise testing of pectus excavatum patients. Currently, there are no standardized methods for assessing cardiovascular and pulmonary responses in this population; therefore, making comparisons across studies is difficult if not impossible. These strategies are intended for physicians, pulmonary technicians, exercise physio...

OBJECTIVE The effects of the different surgical approaches (transhiatal esophagectomy and right-sided transthoracic esophagectomy) on perioperative cardiopulmonary function in the surgical treatment of esophageal carcinoma are discussed controversially and have not yet been evaluated. METHODS In a prospective randomized study including 32 patients, we investigated the effects of the surgical ...

Athletic conditioning is expected to increase exercise capacity through improved function of cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal tissues. Our finding decreased calculated efficiency skeletal muscle mitochondria in one the premier mammalian athletes suggests that this mandate for may take form sacrificing maximal oxidative phosphorylation minimize exercise-induced damage caused by mitochondrial ...

conclusions no significant differences were observed between electronic learning and lecture-based education in improving interns’ knowledge of cpr drugs. background conventional educational systems seem to be improper throughout the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) teaching process. the most common causes of failed resuscitation are unfamiliarity with cardiopulmonary resuscitation algorithm...
