BACKGROUND: Exercise training is commonly employed as a efficacious supplementary treatment for individuals suffering from heart failure, but the optimal exercise regimen is still controversial. The objective of the review was to compare the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on the exercise capacity, cardiac function, quality of life (QoL) and heart rate among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction...

Plaque accumulation in the coronary arteries is a major cause of coronary heart disease (CHD), a disease infamously known as a contributor for global death burden. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) pose significant risks for CHD patients, highlighting the urgency of effective management and cardiac rehabilitation in CHD management. Studies have reported the role of the six-minute walk distance (6MWD) test in predicting outcomes for CHD patients; however, none have performed the investigation in Aceh setting...

BACKGROUND: Attention to physical activity has grown in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as it serves as a robust indicator for mortality associated with COPD. Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) is the energy expenditure due to physical activities besides active sports-like exercises and resistance training in daily life, and decreased NEAT may be related to physical inactivity in patients with COPD. We examined whether NEAT assessed using a questionnaire reflects clinical parameters in patients with or at risk for COPD...

BACKGROUND: The Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT) is a simple, non-invasive, well-validated test that assesses cardiorespiratory fitness however is rarely used in pregnant people. It may have clinical utilization to assess fitness, breathing and exertion in pregnancy however no reference intervals exist for people 14+0 to 35+6 weeks gestation. We determined the reference intervals for distance walked for the 6MWT, including exertional and breathlessness ratings for this group. METHOD: We conducted a prospective observational cohort study of 196 healthy nulliparous pregnant people in earlier pregnancy (EP) 14+0 to 23+6 weeks, and middle pregnancy (MP) 24+0 to 35+6 gestation, who performed a standardized 6MWT protocol including rating exertion and breathlessness (Rating Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale (1 none -15 maximal) and Modified Borg Dyspnea (MBD) scale (0 none - 10 maximal))...

In children, the factors that influence COVID-19 disease and its medium- and long-term effects are little known. Our investigation sought to evaluate the presence of comorbidity factors associated with respiratory long COVID manifestations in children and to study ultrasound abnormalities following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Children, who arrived at the 'Respiratory Diseases of Pediatric Interest Unit' at the Department of Woman, Child, and General and Specialized Surgery of the University of Campania 'Luigi Vanvitelli', were selected during the timeframe from September 2021 to October 2022...

Plantarflexor central drive is a promising biomarker of neuromotor impairment; however, routine clinical assessment is hindered by the unavailability of force measurement systems with integrated neurostimulation capabilities. In this study, we evaluate the accuracy of a portable, neurostimulation-integrated, plantarflexor force measurement system we developed to facilitate the assessment of plantarflexor neuromotor function in clinical settings. Two experiments were conducted with the Central Drive System (CEDRS)...

Among older people, walking difficulty results from actual and perceived declines in physical capacities and environmental requirements for walking. We investigated whether the physiological complexity of the gait cycle covaries with experience of walking difficulty. Walking difficulty, gait speed, and gait cycle complexity were evaluated among 702 community-dwelling older people aged 75, 80, and 85 years who took part in the six-minute walking test in the research laboratory. Walking difficulty for 500 m was self-reported...

PURPOSE: Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are caused by inflammation and/or fibrosis of alveolar walls resulting in impaired gas exchange. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is the third most common type of ILDs. Corticosteroids are the mainstay treatment for HP. The use of intramuscular (IM) betamethasone or intravenous (IV) dexamethasone as weekly pulse doses has shown higher benefit than daily oral prednisolone for HP patients. The aim of this study is to directly compare different corticosteroids in terms of effectiveness and in monetary values and perform an economic evaluation...
