EFFECT OF HOME-BASED PULMONARY REHABILITATION ON HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE, LUNG FUNCTION, EXERCISE TOLERANCE, AND DYSPNEA IN CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISORDER PATIENTS IN A TERTIARY CARE CENTER IN SOUTH INDIA

Context: Home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) can increase compliance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD).There is paucity of data on this in India.Aims: To study the effectiveness of home-based PR on lung function, health-related quality of life, exercise tolerance and dyspnea among patients with COPD.Setting: The Department of Pu

The morphing aircraft is a promising solution to achieve an optimal flight performance according to various mission scenarios.To apply the morphing technology in hypersonic vehicles, a variable-sweep-wing morphing waverider was proposed in previous studies, and its aerodynamic performance and dynamic model were presented.In this paper, this morphin

Wettability alteration has been a sophisticated issue for scientists and reservoir engineers since early 20th century; thus, many investigations have been carried out to determine wettability and enhance it to ideal conditions, which leads to improvement in oil recovery.Dilute surfactant flooding has been approved as one of the noteworthy methods i

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have considerably expanded the effective treatment options for malignant melanoma.ICIs revert tumor-associated immunosuppression and potentiate T-cell mediated tumor clearance.Immune-related neurologic adverse events (irNAEs) manifest in the central (CNS) or peripheral nervous system (PNS) and most frequently pre

Abstract The enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) protocol is a supplement to IEEE 802.11 medium access control (MAC), ratified by IEEE 802.11e task group to support quality of service (QoS) requirements NUTRI B12 of both data and real-time applications.Previous research show that it supports priority scheme for multimedia traffic but strict
