Persistent interstitial lung abnormalities in post-COVID-19 patients: a case se...
Lago,Vanessa Carvalho; Prudente,Robson Aparecido; Luzia,Dayane Araujo; Franco,Estefânia Thomé; Cezare,Talita Jacon; Peralta,AmandaAbstract A new concept of multisystem disease has emerged as a long-term condition following mild-severe COVID-19 infection. The main symptoms of this affection are breathlessness, chest pain, and fatigue. We present here the clinical case of four COVID-19 patients during hospitalization and 60 days after hospital discharge. Physiological impairment of all patients was assessed by spirometry, dyspnea score, art...

Update on the approach to smoking in patients with respiratory diseases
Sales,Maria Penha Uchoa; Araújo,Alberto José de; Chatkin,José Miguel; Godoy,Irma de; Pereira,Luiz Fernando FerreiraABSTRACT Smoking is the leading cause of respiratory disease (RD). The harmful effects of smoking on the respiratory system begin in utero and influence immune responses throughout childhood and adult life. In comparison with “healthy” smokers, smokers with RD have peculiarities that can impede smoking cessation, such as a higher level of nicotine dependence; nicotine withdrawal; higher levels of exhaled carbon...
Evaluation of smoking cessation treatment initiated during hospitalization in p...
Garcia,Thaís; Andrade,Sílvia Aline dos Santos; Biral,Angélica Teresa; Bertani,André Luiz; Caram,Laura Miranda de Oliveira; Cezare,Talita JaconABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a smoking cessation program, delivered by trained health care professionals, in patients hospitalized for acute respiratory disease (RD) or heart disease (HD). Methods: Of a total of 393 patients evaluated, we included 227 (146 and 81 active smokers hospitalized for HD and RD, respectively). All participants received smoking cessation treatment during hospita...
Impact of adherence to long-term oxygen therapy on patients with COPD and exert...
Mesquita,Carolina Bonfanti; Knaut,Caroline; Caram,Laura Miranda de Oliveira; Ferrari,Renata; Bazan,Silmeia Garcia Zanati; Godoy,Irma; Tanni,Suzana EricoABSTRACT Objective: To determine the impact of adherence to long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) on quality of life, dyspnea, and exercise capacity in patients with COPD and exertional hypoxemia followed for one year. Methods: Patients experiencing severe hypoxemia during a six-minute walk test (6MWT) performed while breathing room air but not at rest were included in the study. At baseline and after one year of fol...

Caram,Laura Miranda de Oliveira; Ferrari,Renata; Naves,Cristiane Roberta; Coelho,Liana Sousa; Vale,Simone Alves do; Tanni,Suzana Erico; Godoy,IrmaABSTRACT Objective: To assess and compare the prevalence of comorbidities and risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in COPD patients according to disease severity. Methods: The study included 25 patients with mild-to-moderate COPD (68% male; mean age, 65 ± 8 years; mean FEV1, 73 ± 15% of predicted) and 25 with severe-to-very severe COPD (males, 56%; mean age, 69 ± 9 years; mean FEV1, 40 ± 18% of predict...

Bertani,André Luís; Garcia,Thais; Tanni,Suzana Erico; Godoy,IrmaOBJECTIVE: To examine the pattern of tobacco use and knowledge about tobacco-related diseases, as well as to identify popular types of electronic media, in pregnant women, in order to improve strategies for the prevention or cessation of smoking among such women. METHODS: A cross-sectional study involving 61 pregnant women, seen at primary care clinics and at a university hospital, in the city of Botucatu, Braz...
Reference values for the incremental shuttle walk test in healthy subjects: fro...
Dourado,Victor Zuniga; Guerra,Ricardo Luís Fernandes; Tanni,Suzana Erico; Antunes,Letícia Cláudia de Oliveira; Godoy,IrmaOBJECTIVE: To determine reference values for incremental shuttle walk distance (ISWD) and peak physiological responses during the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT), as well as to develop a series of predictive equations for those variables in healthy adults. METHODS: We evaluated 103 healthy participants ≥ 40 years of age (54 women and 49 men). We fitted each participant with a gas analysis system for use du...
Gender differences in predictors of health status in patients with COPD
Ferrari,Renata; Tanni,Suzana Erico; Lucheta,Paulo Adolfo; Faganello,Márcia Maria; Amaral,Renata Antonialli Ferreira do; Godoy,IrmaOBJECTIVE: To evaluate the health status (HS) of COPD patients and to identify the main predictors of HS in these patients according to gender. METHODS: The study included 90 COPD patients (60 males and 30 females; mean age = 64 ± 9 years) with a wide range of airway obstruction disorders (mean FEV1 = 56 ± 19% of predicted). The men were individually matched to the women by % of predicted FEV1 (ratio: 2:1). The...
