Obesity, respiratory function and breathlessness.
Oxygen consumption dedicated to respiratory work (V̇O2RESP) during quiet breathing is small in normal patients. In the morbidly obese, at high minute ventilations, V̇O2RESP is greater than in normal patients, but V̇O2RESP during quiet breathing in these patients is not known. We postulated that such patients have increased V̇O2RESP at rest which may predispose them to respiratory failure when addit...
متن کاملNeural respiratory drive and breathlessness in COPD.
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that neural respiratory drive, measured using diaphragm electromyogram (EMGdi) activity expressed as a percentage of maximum (EMGdi%max), is closely related to breathlessness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We also investigated whether neuroventilatory uncoupling contributes significantly to breathlessness intensity over an awareness of...
متن کاملEffect of obesity on respiratory function
overweight or obese with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m or more. Obesity is a major cause of morbidity; for example, in the United States in 2000 it was responsible for approximately 400 000 deaths and accounted for about 7% of health care expenditures. Obesity, particularly abdominal obesity, is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and...
متن کاملAssociation between respiratory mechanics and autonomic function in morbid obesity.
This study aimed to investigate the association between respiratory mechanics and autonomic modulation in morbidly obese patients. We evaluated 10 morbidly obese subjects (BMI=52.9±11.2kg/m(2)), aged 23-58 years. Assessment of respiratory mechanics was done by the forced oscillation technique (FOT), and cardiovascular autonomic function was recorded by heart rate variability analysis (HRV). The...
متن کاملcompactifications and function spaces on weighted semigruops
chapter one is devoted to a moderate discussion on preliminaries, according to our requirements. chapter two which is based on our work in (24) is devoted introducting weighted semigroups (s, w), and studying some famous function spaces on them, especially the relations between go (s, w) and other function speces are invesigated. in fact this chapter is a complement to (32). one of the main fea...
