Psychiatry related information on Breathing Exercises

 

High impact information on Breathing Exercises

  • The effects of two pranayama yoga breathing exercises on airway reactivity, airway calibre, symptom scores, and medication use in patients with mild asthma were assessed in a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial [2].
  • Rigorous exercise training for patients with severe COPD yields more efficient exercise breathing pattern and lower V(E); this is associated with improved exercise tolerance [3].
  • Eight patients received IMT along with general exercise reconditioning, GER+IMT; nine patients received general exercise reconditioning, GER; eight patients received sham breathing exercises, CONTROL [4].
  • These data indicate that 1) carotid afferents are an important determinant of rest and exercise breathing and ventilatory CO2 sensitivity, and 2) apparent plasticity within the ventilatory control system eventually provides compensation for chronic loss of these afferents [5].
  • Breathing exercises for patients with COPD: to teach or not to teach [6].
 

Biological context of Breathing Exercises

  • This study investigated the effectiveness of Qigong on blood pressure and several blood lipids, such as high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, Apolipoprotein A1 (APO-A1), total cholesterol (TC), and triglycerides (TG) in hypertensive patients [7].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Qigong walking reduced plasma glucose after lunch without inducing a large increase in the pulse rate in patients with diabetes [8].
  • Various phases of solar energy were evaluated for possible medical application, using the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test. A 2-4 minute interval of highly beneficial phase during sunrise and sunset which is comparable or is stronger than (+) Qigong Energy was detected [9].
  • Progressive muscle relaxation, breathing exercises, and ABC relaxation theory [10].
 

Anatomical context of Breathing Exercises

  • The aim of this study was to determine the genomic profile and function of neutrophils in Falun Gong (FLG, an ancient Chinese Qigong) practitioners, with healthy subjects as controls [11].
 

Associations of Breathing Exercises with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Breathing Exercises

  • Treatment at home included either musically-guided breathing exercises with the BIM or listening to quiet music played by a Walkman for 10 min daily for 8 weeks [16].
  • A two-week schedule of placebo administration, pranayamic breathing exercises using a Pink City lung exerciser alone, and exercises using the lung exerciser with hot, humid air were performed [17].
  • This finding clarifies the implication of the theta rhythms appearing in Qigong and other meditation [18].
  • Yogic breathing exercises not only help in relieving the stresses of life but also improve the antioxidant status of the individual [19].
  • Integration of meditation with conventional therapy has enriched psychotherapy with parallels drawn between the Nine Step Qigong and Freudian developmental psychology [20].
