Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity: systemic and pulmonary complications, biochemical abnormalities, and impairment of lung function.
TL;DR: Weight loss caused by various types of treatment, including low-calorie diet, intragastric balloon, and bariatric surgery, significantly improves lung function and metabolic syndrome and reduces body mass index.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in respiratory mechanics with increasing degrees of airway obstruction in COPD : Detection by forced oscillation technique
Ana Maria Gonçalves Tavares Di Mango,Agnaldo José Lopes,José Manoel Jansen,Pedro Lopes de Melo +3 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the FOT is useful for detecting the respiratory mechanics modifications in COPD patients, and in the late stage of the airway obstruction increase, resistive parameters did not present statistically significant modifications, while reactive parameters seem to be more useful.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of changes in respiratory mechanics due to increasing degrees of airway obstruction in asthma by the forced oscillation technique
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that the FOT can be proposed as an alternative method for the assessment of the respiratory mechanics in asthmatic patients, representing a promising solution to the problem of effort dependence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Machine learning algorithms and forced oscillation measurements applied to the automatic identification of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Jorge Luis Machado do Amaral,Agnaldo José Lopes,José Manoel Jansen,Alvaro Camilo Dias Faria,Pedro Lopes de Melo +4 more
TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that the proposed classifiers may contribute to easy the diagnostic of COPD by using forced oscillation measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chinese medicine pattern differentiation and its implications for clinical practice.
TL;DR: The reviewed studies presented achievements that have contributed to the integration of Chinese medicine and evidence-based medicine in the treatment of many mild and severe diseases.
