RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Physical exercise is prescribed in populations with chronic diseases, but data are scarce in the liver transplantation (LT) setting. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in forced expiratory volume in the first second, forced vital capacity, maximal inspiratory pressure, maximal expiratory pressure, 6-minute walking test (6MWT), 6-minute step test (6MST), Duke Activity Status Index, VO2 (mL/kg/min), and health-related quality of life (in patients submitted to a rehabilitation program, comprising physical exercise training, breathing techniques, and educational sessions after LT. METHODS: This cohort study enrolled patients to an 8-week period of thrice weekly comprehensive supervised rehabilitation program after 1 month of LT. A nonrandomized control cohort of LT patients were selected to match the rehabilitation group based on specific demographic data and severity of disease. RESULTS: The rehabilitation group, compared with the control group, showed a significant improvement in respiratory parameters (forced vital capacity [0.33L vs 0.13L,P < .01]); exercise capacity (6MWT and 6MST 71.1 vs 34.1 meters; and 30.5 vs 7.5 steps; respectively P < .01); Duke Activity Status Index scores and VO2 (21.3 vs 10.2 and 9 vs 4.3; respectively P < .01); respiratory muscle strength (maximal inspiratory pressure 21.1 vs 15.1 cmH2O and maximal expiratory pressure 21.2 vs 10.2 cmH2O; P < .01); and quality of life (SF-36 physical component summary 12.4 vs 2.9 P < .01). CONCLUSION: These data suggest that improvements in physical fitness, respiratory parameters, and quality of life are achieved with a comprehensive rehabilitation program initiated early after LT.

INTRODUÇÃO: A doença do refluxo gastroesofágico (DRGE) é ocasionada pela presença do conteúdo gástrico na luz esofágica, Sua etiologia e patogenia são multifatoriais, porém dependem da integridade da barreira antirrefluxo na junção esôfago gástrica, composta pelo esfíncter esofágico inferior e o diafragma crural. A exemplo de todos os músculos esqueléticos, o diafragma pode melhorar sua performance em resposta a um treinamento. Alterações da função autonômica cardiovascular frequentemente se associam com alterações de motilidade e de sensibilidade do sistema digestivo. A variabilidade da frequência cardíaca tem sido empregada como recurso para a mensuração da atividade do sistema nervoso autônomo. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o efeito do treinamento muscular inspiratório na exposição ácida e na variabilidade da frequência cardíaca em indivíduos com esofagite de refluxo. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo do tipo randomizado, experimental e intervencionista em humanos. Realizado no Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio (HUWC), com portadores de esofagite erosiva, os quais foram randomizados e distribuídos em dois grupos: o grupo treinamento sem carga (TSC) e grupo treinamento com carga (TCC). Os voluntários fizeram treinamento muscular inspiratório (TMI), 3 vezes por semana, durante 8 semanas. Foram avaliados sintomas do refluxo, PImáx, exposição ácida do esôfago pela pHmetria e os componentes da variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC) no domínio do tempo (SDNN, rMSSD, pNN50) e no domínio da frequência (VLF, LF, HF) pelo eletrocardiograma. Os dados obtidos foram analisados estatisticamente pelo programa SigmaPlot, versão 11.0 e pelo programa GraphPad Prism®6.0...
BACKGROUND: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is caused by the presence of gastric contents in the esophagus lumen, its etiology and pathogenesis is multifactorial, but depend on the integrity of the antireflux barrier at the junction gastric esophagus, composed of the lower esophageal sphincter and crural diaphragm. Like all skeletal muscles, the diaphragm can improve performance in response to training. Changes in cardiovascular autonomic function frequently associated with alterations of motility and sensitivity of the digestive system. The heart rate variability has been used as a resource for the measurement of the activity of the autonomic nervous system. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectof inspiratory muscle training in acid exposure and heart rate variability in patients with reflux esophagitis. METHODS: This is a study a randomized, experimental and interventionist in humans. Held at the University Hospital Walter Cantídio (HUWC) with holders of erosive esophagitis, which were randomly divided into two groups: the no-load training group (NLT) and group training load (LT). The volunteers did inspiratory muscle training (IMT) three times per week, for 8 weeks. We evaluated symptoms of reflux, MIP, acid exposure of the esophagus by pH monitoring and the components of heart rate variability (HRV) in the time domain (SDNN, rMSSD, pNN50) and in the frequency domain (VLF, LF, HF) by electrocardiogram . Data were statistically analyzed by SigmaPlot, version 11.0 and the program GraphPad PRISM ® 6.0...

BACKGROUND: Through rhythmic variations, the diaphragm influence lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure acting as an external sphincter. LES pressure recording is characterized by increased pressure in inspiration due to contraction of the diaphragmatic crura that involves the sphincter. AIM: To describe a method of measuring LES pressure during standardized inspiratory maneuvers with increasing loads. METHODS: The study population comprised of eight healthy female volunteers (average age of 31.5 years). An esophageal high-resolution manometry and impedance system was used for measuring the LES pressure during 3-second inspiratory efforts under 12, 24 and 48 cm H2O loads (Threshold maneuvers). RESULTS: There was a significant difference between the average maximum LES pressure and the average maximum basal LES pressure during the first (76.19±17.92 difference, p=0.0008), second (86.92±19.01 difference, p=0.0004), and third seconds of the maneuver (90.86±17.93 difference, p=0.0002), with 12, 24 and 48 cmH2O loads. CONCLUSION: This maneuver is a standardization of the inspiratory LES pressure and may better differentiate patients with reflux disease from healthy individuals, and may also be useful for monitoring the treatment of these patients through inspiratory muscle training.

Racional:Através de variações rítmicas, o diafragma influencia a pressão do EEI, atuando como um esfíncter externo. O registro manométrico da sua pressão caracteriza-se por aumento de pressão na inspiração resultante da contração da crura diafragmática que envolve o esfíncter. Objetivo:Descrever um método de medida da pressão do esfíncter esofágico inferior (EEI) durante manobras inspiratórias padronizadas, com cargas crescentes.Métodos:Oito voluntários sadios (sexo feminino, média de idade de 31,5 anos) participaram do estudo. Uma manometria esofágica de alta resolução e impedanciometria mediram a pressão do EEI durante manobras inspiratórias com o Threshold sob cargas de 12, 24 e 48 cm H2O. Resultados:Comparando-se as médias houve diferença significativa entre a pressão máxima do EEI e a sua pressão basal máxima durante o primeiro (diferença de 76,19±17,92, p=0,0008), segundo (diferença 86,92±19,01, p=0,0004) e terceiro segundos da manobra (diferença 90,86±17,93, p=0,0002), tanto com carga de 12 cm de H2O, quanto com 24 e 48 cm. Conclusão:Esta manobra é uma padronização da pressão inspiratória do EEI e pode diferenciar melhor pacientes com doença do refluxo de indivíduos sadios, podendo também ser útil na monitorização do tratamento desses pacientes por meio do treinamento muscular inspiratório.

AIM: To investigate crural diaphragm (CD) function in systemic sclerosis (SSc) using high-resolution manometry and standardized inspiratory maneuvers. METHODS: Eight SSc volunteers (average age, 40.1 years; one male) and 13 controls (average age, 32.2 years; six males) participated in the study. A high-resolution manometry/impedance system measured the esophagus and esophagogastric junction (EGJ) pressure profile during swallows and two respiratory maneuvers: sinus arrhythmia maneuver (SAM; the average of six EGJ peak pressures during 5-s deep inhalations) and threshold maneuver (TM; the EGJ peak pressures during forced inhalation under 12 and 24 cmH2O loads). Inspiratory diaphragm lowering (IDL) was taken as the displacement of the EGJ high-pressure zone during the SAM. RESULTS: SSc patients had lower mean lower esophageal sphincter pressure than controls during normal breathing (19.7±2.8 mmHg vs 32.2±2.7 mmHg, P=0.007). Sinus arrhythmia maneuver pressure was higher in SSc patients than in controls (142.6±9.4 mmHg vs 104.6±13.8 mmHg, P=0.019). Sinus arrhythmia maneuver pressure normalized to IDL was also higher in SSc patients than in controls (83.8±13.4 mmHg vs 37.5±6.9 mmHg, P=0.005). Threshold maneuver pressures normalized to IDL were also greater in SSc patients than in controls (TM 12 cmH2O: 85.1±16.4 mmHg vs 43.9±6.3 mmHg, P=0.039; TM 24 cmH2O: 85.2±16.4 mmHg vs 46.2±6.6 mmHg, P=0.065). Inspiratory diaphragm lowering in SSc patients was less than in controls (2.1±0.3 cm vs 3±0.2 cm, P=0.011). CONCLUSION: SSc patients had increased inspiratory EGJ pressure. This is an add-on to EGJ pressure and indicates that the antireflux barrier can be trained.
