Background: Nasal high flow (NHF) has been proposed to sustain high intensity exercise in people with COPD, but we have a poor understanding of its physiological effects in this clinical setting.
Research Question: What is the effect of NHF during exercise on dynamic respiratory muscle function and activation, cardiorespiratory parameters, endurance capacity, dyspnoea and leg fatigue as compared to control intervention.
Study Design And Methods: Randomized single-blind crossover trial including COPD patients.

Background: Research on long COVID in China is limited, particularly in terms of large-sample epidemiological data and the effects of recent SARS-CoV-2 sub-variants. China provides an ideal study environment owing to its large infection base, high vaccine coverage, and stringent pre-pandemic measures.
Methods: This retrospective study used an online questionnaire to investigate SARS-CoV-2 infection status and long COVID symptoms among 74,075 Chinese residents over one year.

The organophosphorus pesticide chlormephos was tested for its potential peripheral neurotoxicity by analyzing the diphasic compound action potential (CAP) of sciatic nerves isolated from adult mice chronically exposed to a sub-lethal dose of this pesticide, compared with control age-matched animals being only exposed to the vehicle. No significant modification was detected between chlormephos-exposed and control groups in their nerve responsiveness to stimulus. Furthermore, similar values of CAP kinetic variables were obtained from the two mouse groups.

Background: Fatigue is a common symptom in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Published studies of fatigue among patients with COPD have presented diverse findings that may reflect variations in research methods as well as actual population differences.
Objective: To estimate the worldwide prevalence of fatigue in patients with COPD and its associated epidemiological characteristics.

Background: There are adverse effects on the health outcomes of workers whose occupation involves prolonged standing, such as lower back pain, leg pain, cardiovascular diseases, fatigue, discomfort, and pregnancy-related health outcomes. The effectiveness of massage therapy as an intervention for managing leg pain associated with prolonged standing needs to be addressed.
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the smart dynamic fabric actuator's effectiveness in treating chronic musculoskeletal leg pain in persons with occupations involving prolonged standing.
