Discorsi e pratiche interculturali alla prova del populismo by Maddalena Colombo, Guia Gilardoni

Prediction of Abnormal Functional Performance in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Using Respiratory Models: A Pilot Study by Ribeiro CO, Lopes AJ, de Melo PL

“…Caroline Oliveira Ribeiro,1,* Agnaldo José Lopes,2,* Pedro Lopes de Melo1,3,* 1Biomedical Instrumentation Laboratory - Institute of Biology and Faculty of Engineering, State University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; 2Pulmonary Function Laboratory, State University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; 3BioVasc Research Laboratory - Institute of Biology, State University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil*These authors contributed equally to this workCorrespondence: Pedro Lopes de Melo, Email plopes@uerj.brIntroduction: The contribution of respiratory models to understanding and predicting functional capacity abnormalities in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has not yet been investigated.Purpose: The aims of this study were: (1) To investigate the associations between the extended Resistance-Inertance-Compliance (eRIC) and the fractional-order (FrOr) models with changes in Glittre-ADL and handgrip tests and; (2) To evaluate the accuracy of these models in predicting abnormal functional capacity in COPD.Patients and Methods: The study was carried out in a group of 40 adults with COPD and a control group of 40 healthy individuals, both evaluated by respiratory oscillometry, spirometry, Glittre-ADL test and handgrip test. eRIC and fractional order models were also used to quantify biomechanical changes and obtain physiological information. …”
