Study of peripheral muscle strength and severity indexes in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract

In accordance with the results of this study, peripheral muscle strength as measured by HS and 1RM is not related to the severity indexes for COPD, unlike UL and LL muscle strength. Therefore, UL and LL measurements now have an additional importance in COPD evaluation.

Impact of prehabilitation on morbidity and mortality after pulmonary lobectomy by minimally invasive surgery: a cohort study

“…The median number of prehabilitation sessions was 17 [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The median number of days between CPET and surgery was 44 [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46].…”

“…While there were studies investigated the association between the BODE Index and hand grip strength, there were no studies investigating the relationship between the DOSE Index and hand grip strength in the literature (21,22). A strong correlation between the BODE Index and hand grip strength was reported the in moderatesevere patients with COPD in the limited number of studies (21,23).…”

Effect of septoplasty on functional outcomes and physical fitness level

“…Considering that patients with nasal deviation suffer from difficulty in breathing during physical activities, it was believed that a reduction in these complaints after the operation could have affected the walking distance of the patients. Despite studies in the literature investigating various lung functions and respiration function tests of patients with nasal deviation before and after the operation (5,(20)(21)(22), no study explored the physical fitness and functional outcomes. However, corresponding to the present study, Tüzüner et al (23) assessed the pulmonary function of patients who underwent septoplasty operation.…”
