Modeling ventilation of patients with interstitial lung disease at rest and exercise: a bench study.

Background: The ventilatory physiopathology of patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) remains poorly understood. We aimed to personalize a mechanical simulator to model healthy and ILD profiles ventilation, and to evaluate the effect of spontaneous breathing on respiratory mechanics at rest and during exercise.

Methods: In a 2-compartment lung simulator (ASL 5000), we modeled 1 healthy and 3 ILD profiles, at rest and during exercise, based on physiological data from literature and patients.

Oxygen Uptake and Heart Rate On-Kinetics during Prehabilitation in Patients with Scheduled Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Resection.

Background: Oxygen uptake (V̇O2) and heart rate (HR) kinetics during a constant work-rate test (CWRT) are used to evaluate the response to exercise in healthy subjects as well as subjects with various pathologies.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the feasibility of these measures and their responsiveness to a prehabilitation program in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Method: This study is preregistered (NCT04041297) ancillary analysis of a subgroup of individuals with NSCLC included in the Preo-Dens study (NCT03936764).

Prehabilitation sessions can be provided more frequently in a shortened regimen with similar or better efficacy in people with non-small cell lung cancer: a randomised trial.

Question: In people with non-small cell lung cancer, what is the effect of condensing 15 prehabilitation sessions into a 3-week regimen compared with a 5-week regimen?

Design: Randomised controlled trial with concealed allocation, intention-to-treat analysis and blinded assessment of the primary outcome.

Participants: People with diagnosed or suspected non-small cell lung cancer and moderate-to-high risk of postoperative complications.

Intervention: Fifteen supervised prehabilitation sessions delivered with either a dense regimen of five sessions/week for 3 weeks (experimental group) or a non-dense regimen of three sessions/week for 5 weeks (control group).

Factors influencing participation in educational workshops as part of a pulmonary rehabilitation program in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a retrospective study.

Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) (primarily composed of an exercise training program (ET) and educational workshops) is an effective intervention for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Although factors which influence participation in the full PR program have been reported, specific data on the educational component of PR have not been published. We aimed to identify factors which predict refusal to participate in the educational component of PR.

[Vocal cord dysfunction in athletes: Interest of rehabilitation to effort].

Introduction: Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD) is a syndrome characterized by paradoxical adduction of the vocal folds during breathing. Its non-specific clinical manifestations frequently lead to misdiagnosis and delay in its treatment. The treatment of VCD is not pharmacological but rehabilitative and remains poorly appreciated.
