"The first section of Functional respiratory disorders : when respiratory symptoms do not respond to pulmonary treatment will help clinicians recognize functional respiratory symptoms that can arise as a result of both organic and psychological causes. The second section of this book provides detailed discussions of such disorders, links to video examples of laryngoscopic evaluation of patients with vocal cord issues, case studies and quizzes. Examples and exercises that should strengthen the clinician’s confidence in identifying and treating these functional conditions are also provided. Finally, the third section of the book will help the clinician differentiate the patients for whom referral to a mental health provider is mandatory from those for whom other approaches may be useful. For the latter group, the book teaches clinicians to empower themselves by learning how to incorporate various therapies for functional disorders into their practice, including biofeedback, breathing techniques, basic cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, and hypnosis. Links are provided to instructive video examples of biofeedback, hypnosis, and speech therapy. Practical strategies for obtaining training in these modalities are provided in the appendix. "

"Pasien penderita penyakit obtruktif kronik (PPOK) tampaknya mendapatkan manfaat dari program rehabilitase paru."

"Pasien penderita penyakit pant obstruktif kronik ( PPOK ) tampaknya mendapatkan manfaat dari program rehabiltiasi paru. Penelitian ini mengkaji manfaat program rehabilitasi paru pada pasien rawat jalan yang menderita PPOK, dengan menggunakan St George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) dan six min walking distance test (6MWD), yang mengukur kualiti hidup kesehatan dan toleransi latihan fungsional sebagai hasil pengukuran utama. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian prospektif, terbuka, acak dengan kelompok kontrol paralel yang diberikan program rehabilitasi pasien rawat jalan pada 56 pasien penderita PPOK (52 orang laki-laki dan 4 orang perempuan). Kelompok aktif(n= 27) diberikan program edukasi dan latihan selama 6 minggu. Kelompok kontrol (n= 29) diperiksa secara rutin sebagai pasien medis rawat jalan. SGRQ dan 6MWD ditakukan pada saat awal penelitian dan setelah 6 minggu. Didapatkan hasil SGRQ dan 6MWD sebelum dan sesudah terapi. Berdasarkan statistik, SGRQ menurun dan skor 6MWD meningkat secara signifikan pada kelompok aktif dibandingkan kelompok kontrol. Disimpulkan bahwa program selama 6 minggu pada pasien rawat jalan ini secara signifikan telah rneningkatkan kualiti hidup dan kapasitas fungsional pasien PPOK derajat ringan hingga sedang.

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been shown to be benefit from pulmonary rehabilitation programs. We assessed an entirely outpatient-based program of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with COPD, using the Si George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and six minutes walking distance test (6MWD) (which measures health-related quality of life and functional exercise tolerance) as the primary outcome measure. We undertook a randomized, opened, prospective, parallel-group controlled study of outpatient rehabilitation program in 56 patients with COPD (52 men and 4 women). The active group (n~27) took part in a 6-weeks program of education and exercise. The control group (n=29) were reviewed routinely as medical outpatients. The SGRQ and 6MWD were administered at study entry and after 6 weeks. Outcome with SGRQ and 6MWD before and after therapy was performed. Decrease score SGRQ and increase 6MWD in both groups of study, it was analyzed by statistic study and in active group the decrease of SGRQ and the increase of 6MWD was statistically significant. In conclusion 6-weeks outpatient-based program significantly improved qualify of life and functional capacity in mild-to-moderate COPD patient. (Med J Indones 2006; 15:165-72)"

"AbstrakPURPOSE:Cold weather exercise is common in many regions of the world; however, it is unclear whether respiratory function and symptom worsen progressively with colder air temperatures. Furthermore, it is unclear whether high-ventilation sport background exacerbates dysfunction and symptoms.METHODS:Seventeen active females (measure of the maximum volume of oxygen [VO(2max)]: 49.6±6.6 mL·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹) completed on different days in random order 5 blinded running trials at 0°C, -5°C, -10°C, -15°C, and -20°C (humidity 40%) in an environmental chamber. Distance, heart rate, and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were measured within each trial; forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory flow at 25%-75% (FEF₂₅₋₇₅), and forced expiratory flow at 50% (FEF₅₀) were measured pre- and post-test (3, 6, 10, 15, and 20 minutes). Respiratory symptoms and global effort were measured post-test spirometry.RESULTS:Mean decreases were found in FEV1 (4%-5% at 0°C, -5°C, -10°C, and -15°C; 7% at -20°C). FEF₂₅₋₇₅ and FEF₅₀ decreased 7% and 11% at -15°C and -20°C, respectively. Post-exertion spirometry results were decreased most at 3 to 6 minutes, recovering back to baseline at 20 minutes. Respiratory symptoms and global effort significantly increased at -15°C and -20°C with decreased heart rate. High-ventilation sports decreased function more than low-ventilation participants but had fewer symptoms.CONCLUSIONS:These results indicate that intense exercise at cold air temperatures up to -20°C is achievable; however, greater effort along with transient acute bronchoconstriction and symptoms of cough after exercising in temperatures colder than -15°C are likely. It is recommended that individuals cover their mouth and reduce exercise intensity to ameliorate the effects of cold weather exercise."

""This book is your concise, one-stop guide to all aspects of respiratory physiology in health, disease, and in the many physiologically challenging situations and environments into which humans take themselves - with coverage from basic science to clinical applications. This most comprehensive single volume on respiratory physiology will be invaluable to those in training or preparing for examinations in anaesthesia, intensive care, respiratory medicine or thoracic surgery." -- Publisher."
