- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Are glucose levels, glucose variability and autonomic control influenced by inspiratory muscle exercise in patients with type 2 diabetes? Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial(Biomed Central Ltd, 2016) Schein, A. S. O.; Correa, A. P. S.; Casali, Karina Rabello [UNIFESP]; Schaan, Beatriz D.Background: Physical exercise reduces glucose levels and glucose variability in patients with type 2 diabetes. Acute inspiratory muscle exercise has been shown to reduce these parameters in a small group of patients with type 2 diabetes, but these results have yet to be confirmed in a well-designed study. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of acute inspiratory muscle exercise on glucose levels, glucose variability, and cardiovascular autonomic function in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods/design: This study will use a randomized clinical trial crossover design. A total of 14 subjects will be recruited and randomly allocated to two groups to perform acute inspiratory muscle loading at 2 % of maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax, placebo load) or 60 % of PImax (experimental load). Discussion: Inspiratory muscle training could be a novel exercise modality to be used to decrease glucose levels and glucose variability.

- ItemSomente MetadadadosEffects of Daoyin Qigong in postpolio syndrome patients with cold intolerance(Assoc Arquivos Neuro- Psiquiatria, 2012-09-01) Ramos, Paulo Eduardo [UNIFESP]; Abe, Gislaine Cristina [UNIFESP]; Pradella-Hallinan, Marcia [UNIFESP]; Quadros, Abrahão Augusto Juviniano [UNIFESP]; Schmidt, Beny [UNIFESP]; Oliveira, Acary Souza Bulle [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Postpolio syndrome (PPS) is characterized by progressive muscle weakness due to former infection with poliomyelitis and can be associated with other symptoms such as cold intolerance (CI). Daoyin Qigong (DQ) is a technique in Traditional Chinese Medicine that impacts the circulation of energy and blood. Objective: It was to verify the effects of DQ in PPS patients complaining of cold intolerance. Methods: Ten PPS patients were assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) adapted for CI before and after intervention with DQ; patients practiced it in a sitting position for 40 minutes, 3 times per week over 3 consecutive months. Patients were reassessed three months after ceasing DQ. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in local and systemic VAS-Cold both at the end of DQ training and three months past the end of this. Conclusion: The DQ technique ameliorated CI complaints in patients with PPS.
- ItemSomente MetadadadosUtilization of Positive-Pressure Devices for Breathing Exercises in the Hospital Setting: A Regional Survey in Sao Paulo, Brazil(Daedalus Enterprises Inc, 2010-06-01) Fiore Junior, Julio Flavio [UNIFESP]; Chiavegato, Luciana Dias [UNIFESP]; Paisani, Denise de Moraes [UNIFESP]; Colucci, Daniela Barros Bonfim [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Univ City Sao PauloBACKGROUND: The use of breathing exercises with positive-pressure devices during hospitalization aims to prevent the development of nosocomial pulmonary complications or to facilitate recovery from pulmonary conditions already present. Although this type of intervention has potential benefits and theoretical advantages over more conventional respiratory physiotherapy techniques, the literature on the effects of breathing exercises with positive-pressure is controversial and inconsistent. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the extension of the use of breathing exercises with positive-pressure devices by physiotherapists in Sao Paulo, Brazil. METHODS: A list of hospitals located in the city of Sao Paulo was obtained through the Municipal Secretary of Health. Physiotherapists at 43 hospitals were surveyed about their use of exercises with positive-pressure devices in: patients after abdominal, thoracic, and cardiac surgery; patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; patients with pneumonia; and patients with neuromuscular disease. RESULTS: 120 physiotherapists responded to the questionnaire. All the respondents used breathing exercises with positive-pressure devices in their clinical practice, with all types of patients addressed in the questionnaire. The devices most frequently used were continuous positive airway pressure (78%) and intermittent positive-pressure breathing (73%). The most frequently cited indications for positive-pressure breathing exercises were atelectasis and oxygenation impairment. CONCLUSIONS: Despite a lack of evidence of benefit from breathing exercises with positive-pressure in the hospital setting, this type of intervention is used extensively in clinical practice for a wide variety of patients and conditions.
