inspiratory capacity is often decreased in PAH, and that this is associated with a decreased aerobic exercise capacity and a shorter life expectancy. Inspiratory capacity is the difference between total lung capacity and functional residual capacity, and as such increases in the presence of expiratory airflow limitation or dynamic hyperinflation. The authors measured in 50 patients with PAH an ...

BACKGROUND Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is beneficial for patients with COPD, with improvement in exercise capacity and health-related quality of life. Despite these overall benefits, the responses to PR vary significantly among different individuals. It is not clear if PR is beneficial for patients with COPD and normal exercise capacity. We aimed to investigate the effects of PR in patients w...

In many diseases across a range of pathologies (e.g., cardiopulmonary, neuromuscular, and cancer), chronic dyspnea, particularly on exertion, is a major debilitating symptom often associated with clinical anxiety/depression. This study aims to explore the interaction between mood state and exertional dyspnea in a healthy population. Following familiarization, 20 healthy subjects (27-54 years ol...

With the pandemic process, frequency of clinicians' referrals for thoracic imaging has increased. In this article, three cases diagnosed other than COVID-19 in clinics are presented. A 33-years-old male admitted to clinic with sore throat and dyspnea two days. large pneumothorax was observed on thorax imaging. The tube thoracostomy performed. patient discharged after 14 days follow-up. 31-years...
