Background : Sedentary lifestyle makes people having less physical activities that may lead to the reduce lung function. Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) was used to measure lung function. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a high-intensity aerobic exercise, while brisk walking is an moderat...

The study investigated effectiveness and safety of a cytoprotector mexicor in patients with chronic cor pulmonale (CCP). All participants (n=56; age 38-80 years) were divided into four groups. Group I (n=16) received a standard pulmonary therapy, while Group II (n=20) also received mexicor (300 mg/d...

BackgroundNeurological symptoms are commonly observed in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Although exercise has been shown to improve pulmonary fibrosis and quality of life in IPF patients, its effects on neurological symptoms in t...

Background Evidence on the association between endotoxin exposure and respiratory health in children remains inconsistent, with limited research addressing school environments—key settings for daily exposure. This study investigates the relationship between classroom endotoxin levels and respiratory...

BackgroundPreserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) is increasingly recognized as a clinically relevant but underdiagnosed lung function abnormality. This pulmonary phenotype is clinically significant yet remains insufficiently studied. Although dietary fatty acids are known to have anti-inflammat...

Background. It is known that obesity may influence the state of respiratory function and it is associated with a number of diseases of the respiratory system. Obesity in itself, even in the absence of other known causes, can cause a feeling of shortness of breath at rest. At the same time, the cardi...

Among the chronic nonspecific lung diseases, bronchial asthma (BA) takes the leading place. BA in children is primarily diagnosed on the basis of clinical manifestations, methods of functional diagnosis, which allows you to verify the disease and assess the severity of the flow. An important role in t...
