1. Oliveira, A.; Marques, A.. 2015. "Exploratory mixed methods study of respiratory physiotherapy for patients with lower respiratory tract infections", Physiotherapy, (in press): 1 - 8.
Objectives: To assess the outcomes of respiratory physiotherapy for patients with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI). Participants: Fifty-four patients aged =18 years and diagnosed with LRTI completed the study. Twenty-seven patients were allocated to the control group {CG: 10 male, mean age 53.3 [standard deviation (SD) 17.4] years} and 27 patients were allocated to the experimental group [EG: 10 male, mean age 58.6 (SD 17.2) years]. Intervention: The CG received conventional medical treatment and the EG received conventional medical treatment plus respiratory physiotherapy for 3 weeks. Outcome measures: Patients in both groups undertook the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), modified Borg scale (MBS), modified Medical Research Council questionnaire (mMRC), and Breathlessness, Cough and Sputum scale (BCSS) before and after the intervention. A telephone follow-up survey was performed 3 months after the first hospital visit. Interviews were conducted immediately after the intervention in the EG. Results: In the EG, the distance walked in the 6MWT increased by more than the minimally important difference (P = 0.001), and significantly more than the CG {EG: mean change 76 m [standard deviation (SD) 63], 95% confidence interval (CI) 51 to 101; CG: mean change 27 m (SD 56), 95% CI 5 to 49; mean difference between groups: 49 m 95% CI 16 to 82; partial ¿2 = 0.15}. No differences in the MBS, mMRC and BCSS were found between the two groups. The EG reported high levels of satisfaction with the intervention (27/27; 100%) and with the physiotherapist (20/27; 74%). The intervention improved patients’ symptoms (19/27; 70%) and their self-management skills to control/prevent future LRTI (19/27; 70%). Health service use was significantly less in the EG (P = 0.04). Conclusions Respiratory physiotherapy appears to o o be effective for the management of patients with LRTI.

2. Jácome, Cristina; Oliveira, Ana; Marques, Alda. 2015. "Computerized respiratory sounds: a comparison between patients with stable and exacerbated COPD", The Clinical Respiratory Journal, in press: 1 - 9.
Introduction: Diagnosis of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is often challenging as it relies on patients’ clinical presentation. Computerized respiratory sounds (CRS), namely crackles and wheezes, may have the potential to contribute for the objective diagnosis/monitoring of an AECOPD. Objectives: This study explored if CRS differ during stable and exacerbation periods in patients with COPD. Methods: 13 patients with stable COPD and 14 with AECOPD were enrolled. CRS were recorded simultaneously at trachea, anterior, lateral and posterior chest locations using seven stethoscopes. Airflow (0.4–0.6l/s) was recorded with a pneumotachograph. Breathing phases were detected using airflow signals; crackles and wheezes with validated algorithms. Results: At trachea, anterior and lateral chest, no significant differences were found between the two groups in the number of inspiratory/expiratory crackles or inspiratory wheeze occupation rate. At posterior chest, the number of crackles (median 2.97–3.17 vs. 0.83–1.2, P<0.001) and wheeze occupation rate (median 3.28%–3.8% vs. 1.12%–1.77%, P50.014–0.016) during both inspiration and expiration were significantly higher in patients with AECOPD than in stable patients. During expiration, wheeze occupation rate was also significantly higher in patients with AECOPD at trachea (median 3.12% vs. 0.79%, P<0.001) and anterior chest (median 3.55% vs. 1.28%, P<0.001). Conclusion: Crackles and wheezes are more frequent in patients with AECOPD than in stable patients, particularly at posterior chest. These findings suggest that these CRS can contribute to the objective diagnosis/monitoring of AECOPD, which is especially valuable considering that they can be obtained by integrating computerized techniques with pulmonary auscultation, a noninvasive method that is a component of patients’ physical examination.

3. Oliveira, Ana; Pinho, Cátia; Marques, Alda. 2015. "Effects of a respiratory physiotherapy session in patients with LRTI: a pre/post-test study", The Clinical Respiratory Journal, (in press): 1 - 10.
Introduction: The role of respiratory physiotherapy (RP) in lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) has been questioned. However, studies have focused on hospitalised patients, and the presence/absence of an underlying disease has been neglected. Objectives: To assess the effects of a RP session in community patients with LRTI and to explore the differences between patients with pneumonia (restrictive disease – AR) and those with exacerbations of an obstructive disease (AO). Methods: A pre/post-test study was conducted. A RP session was applied to patients with LRTI and crackles, wheezes, dyspnoea, perception of sputum and oxygen saturation were collected pre/post session. Comparisons were performed using paired t-tests or Wilcoxon tests. Results: Thirty patients (14 males, 55.23+/-17.78 years) with pneumonia (AR, n=12), exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute bronchitis and asthma (AO, n=18) were enrolled. After treatment, the total sample presented lower wheeze rates at trachea (P=0.02; r=-0.54) and less sputum (P=0.01; r=-0.47). AR patients presented a decrease in the number of crackles (P<0.05; 0.30<dz<0.26) and number and rate of wheezes at chest locations (P<0.05; 20.56<r<20.48). AO patients showed an increase in the number of crackles (P<0.05; 0.20 <dz <0.31), wheeze frequency (P=0.03; r=-0.27) and dyspnoea (P=0.04; r=-0.55); and a decrease in the number of wheezes at trachea (P=0.02; r=-0.54). Conclusions: RP seems effective in reducing wheezes and perception of sputum in patients with LRTI. However, when considering AR and AO diseases separately, further changes in respiratory sounds and dyspnoea emerged. This highlights the importance of considering subgroups of patients with LRTI to develop RP evidence-base practice.

Objectives: The development of effective graphical user interfaces (GUIs) has been an emergent demand in healthcare technologies, for assessing, managing and storing patients’ clinical data. Nevertheless, specifically for respiratory care there is a lack of tools to produce a multimedia database, where the main respiratory clinical data can be available in a single repository. Therefore, this study reports on the development of a usable application to collect, organise and store respiratory-related data in a single multimedia database. Methods: A GUI, named RIBS@UA, organised in a multilayer of windows was developed in MATLAB and evaluated. The evaluation consisted of usability inspection (by two respiratory health professionals and two system designers during the development of the prototype) and usability testing (by seven physiotherapists). Results: The users reported on the utility of the new application and its potential to be used in clinical/research settings. It was also stated that RIBS@UA facilitates diagnosis/assessment and contributes to the implementation of standardised interventions and treatment procedures. Nevertheless, some drawbacks were identified and suggestions were given to improve the content of specific features in the physiotherapy sessions window. Conclusions: RIBS@UA interface is an innovative application to collect, store and organise the main respiratory-related data, in a single multimedia database. Nevertheless, further im-provements are still recommended before the final implementation of RIBS@UA. .

Spina Bifida (SB) is characterised by several physical impairments; however data on physical fitness and on the benefits of exercise training in individuals with SB are dispersed in the literature. Thus, this systematic review aimed to describe i) physical fitness components (cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle strength, body composition, flexibility and neuromotor) and ii) exercise training effects on the physical fitness of individuals with SB. CINAHL, MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched from January to March 2013 and updated in December 2013. Twenty-three studies were included. A summary of the results was performed using a best-evidence synthesis. Participants with SB had lower cardiorespiratory endurance (- 32-54% in VO2peak) and muscle strength (- 58-90%) and higher body fat (159%) than their healthy peers. Mobility restrictions were present in 26.3-61% of participants. No data on neuromotor fitness were found. Aerobic and strength training improved participants’ cardiorespiratory endurance (effect sizes 0.78-1.4) and muscle strength (effect sizes 0-0.59). Individuals with SB have impaired cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle strength, body composition and flexibility when compared to healthy peers. Exercise training seems to improve two of these fitness components (cardiorespiratory endurance and muscle strength). Nevertheless, the heterogeneity of the studies’ designs, methods and instruments used limits the establishment of firm conclusions and highlights the need for further research.

Abstract: The development of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) has been an emergent demand in the area of healthcare technologies. Specifically for respiratory healthcare there is a lack of tools to produce a complete multimedia database, where respiratory sounds and other clinical data are available in a single repository. This is essential for complete patients’ assessment and management in research/clinical settings. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a usable interface to collect and organise respiratory-related data in a single multimedia database. A GUI, named LungSounds@UA, composed by a multilayer of windows, was developed. The usability of the user-centred interface was assessed in a pilot study and in an evaluation session. The users testified the utility of the application and its great potential for research/clinical settings. However, some drawbacks were identified, such as a certain difficulty to intuitively navigate in the great amount of the available information, which will inform future developments.

7. Oliveira, Ana; Marques, Alda. 2014. "Respiratory sounds in healthy people: A systematic review", Respiratory Medicine 108, 4: 550 - 570.
Abstract BACKGROUND: There is a lack of systematised information on respiratory sounds of healthy people. This impairs health professionals from differentiating respiratory sounds of healthy people from people with respiratory diseases, which may affect patients' diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to characterise respiratory sounds of healthy people. METHODS: The Web of knowledge, MEDLINE, EMBASE and SCOPUS databases were searched and studies using computerised analyses to detect/characterise respiratory sounds in healthy people were included. Data were extracted using a structured table-format. RESULTS: Sixteen cross-sectional studies assessing respiratory sounds in 964 subjects (aged 1 day-70 yrs) were included: 13 investigated normal respiratory sounds (frequency, intensity and amplitude) and 3 adventitious respiratory sounds (crackles and wheezes). The highest sound frequencies were observed at the trachea (inspiration: 447-1323 Hz; expiration: 206-540 Hz). Women (444-999 Hz) and infants (250-400 Hz) presented the highest frequencies at maximum power. Inspiratory sounds were more intense at the left posterior lower lobe (5.7-76.6 dB) and expiratory sounds at the trachea (45.4-85.1 dB). Nevertheless, studies establishing direct comparisons between inspiratory and expiratory sounds showed that inspiratory sounds presented the highest intensities (p < 0.001). Amplitude was higher at the left upper anterior chest (1.7 ± 0.8 V) and lower at the right posterior lower lobe (1.2 ± 0.7 V). Crackles were the adventitious respiratory sound most frequently reported. CONCLUSIONS: Respiratory sounds show different acoustic properties depending on subjects' characteristics, subjects' position, respiratory flow and place of recording. Further research with robust study designs, different populations and following the guidelines for computerised respiratory sound analysis are urgently needed to build evidence-base.

8. Marques, A.; Oliveira, A.; Jacome, C.. 2013. "Computerized Adventitious Respiratory Sounds as Outcome Measures for Respiratory Therapy: A Systematic Review", Respiratory Care 59, 5: 765 - 776.
INTRODUCTION: There is a need to develop simple, noninvasive, and sensitive outcome measures for respiratory therapy. Adventitious respiratory sounds (ie, crackles and wheezes) can be objectively characterized with computerized respiratory sound analysis (CORSA) and have been shown to contribute for diagnosis purposes; however, their potential for use as outcome measures is unknown. Thus, this systematic review synthesizes the evidence on the use of computerized adventitious respiratory sounds as outcome measures. METHODS: The Web of Knowledge, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and SCOPUS databases were searched. Reviewers independently selected studies according to the eligibility criteria. Effect sizes and 95% CIs were computed. RESULTS: Twelve studies with different designs (observational, n = 3; quasi-experimental n = 7; and randomized controlled trial, n = 2) were included. Eight studies were conducted with adults, and 4 studies with children. Most studies explored only one type of adventitious respiratory sound. For wheezes, the occupation rate seemed to be the most promising parameter to be used as an outcome measure, with high/medium effect sizes (0.62-1.82). For crackles, the largest deflection width showed high effect sizes (1.31 and 1.04); however, this was explored in only one study. Crackle number and 2-cycle duration presented conflicting information, with high/poor effect sizes depending on the study. CONCLUSIONS: Specific variables of each adventitious respiratory sound detected and characterized by CORSA showed high effect sizes and, thus, the potential to be used as outcome measures. Further research with robust study designs and larger samples (both of children and adult populations), and following CORSA guidelines is needed to build evidence-based knowledge on this topic.

9. Oliveira, Ana; Pinho, Cátia; Monteiro, Sandra; Marcos, Ana; Marques, Alda. 2013. "Usability testing of a respiratory interface using computer screen and facial expressions videos", Computers in Biology and Medicine 43, 12: 2205 - 2213.
Abstract: Computer screen videos (CSVs) and users' facial expressions videos (FEVs) are recommended to evaluate systems performance. However, software combining both methods is often non-accessible in clinical research fields. The Observer-XT software is commonly used for clinical research to assess human behaviours. Thus, this study reports on the combination of CSVs and FEVs, to evaluate a graphical user interface (GUI). Eight physiotherapists entered clinical information in the GUI while CSVs and FEVs were collected. The frequency and duration of a list of behaviours found in FEVs were analysed using the Observer-XT-10.5. Simultaneously, the frequency and duration of usability problems of CSVs were manually registered. CSVs and FEVs timelines were also matched to verify combinations. The analysis of FEVs revealed that the category most frequently observed in users behaviour was the eye contact with the screen (ECS, 32±9) whilst verbal communication achieved the highest duration (14.8±6.9min). Regarding the CSVs, 64 problems, related with the interface (73%) and the user (27%), were found. In total, 135 usability problems were identified by combining both methods. The majority were reported through verbal communication (45.8%) and ECS (40.8%). "False alarms" and "misses" did not cause quantifiable reactions and the facial expressions problems were mainly related with the lack of familiarity (55.4%) felt by users when interacting with the interface. These findings encourage the use of Observer-XT-10.5 to conduct small usability sessions, as it identifies emergent groups of problems by combining methods. However, to validate final versions of systems further validation should be conducted using specialized software.

"Automatic Wheeze Detection and Lung Function Evaluation: a preliminary study ", Trabalho apresentado em International Conference on Health Informatics, In Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies 6th International Joint Conference, BIOSTEC 2013, Barcelona.
Abstract: The automatic detection of wheeze offers the potential for diagnosing and monitoring respiratory diseases, e.g., lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI). By determining the relationship between wheeze detection and other lung function data, it is possible to develop a more sensitive tool for detecting respiratory conditions. This pilot study aimed to: i) explore the robustness of a time frequency wheeze detector (TF-WD) and ii) describe the correlation between wheezing and spirometry parameters. Lung sounds and spirometry param-eters were acquired from six outpatients with LRTI (five with right lung infection). Number, fundamental frequency and duration of wheezes were obtained through a TF-WD algorithm. The performance of the TF-WD algorithm was evaluated by comparing its findings in 40 files with those annotated by two experts. Re-sults suggest that the TF-WD algorithm is an ef¿cient and robust method for computerised wheeze detection in LRTI (SE=72.5%; SP=99.2%). Furthermore, significant correlations were found between the percentage predicted of forced expiratory volume in 1 second and forced vital capacity (FEV1pp and FVCpp) and wheeze duration at lateral (rs=-0.9, p=0.03) and posterior (rs=-0.9, p=0.01) right regions respectively. These results support the use of pulmonary auscultation and spirometry to detect areas of obstruction in LRTI.

", Trabalho apresentado em European Respiratory Society Annual Congress, In European Respiratory Journal, Barcelona.
Abstract: Physiotherapists often use adventitious lung sounds(ALS), i.e., wheeze(Wh) and crackle(Cr), to monitor respiratory techniques in acute obstructive(AO) and restrictive(AR) respiratory patients. ALS are responsive to bronchodilators however, evidence regarding its usefulness in respiratory physiotherapy(RP) is scarce. This study aimed to assess the responsiveness of ALS to one session of RP applied AO and AR patients. RP included breathing retraining and airway clearance techniques. Sound recordings were acquired with a digital stethoscope pre/post intervention, following the CORSA short-term acquisition guidelines. Computerised analysis was used to characterise Wh(occupation rate and duration) and Cr parameters(number and two cycle duration-2CD) per breathing cycle(BC). Comparisons were explored with Paired-Samples t-Tests(PASW 18.0). Thirty outpatients(n=14 ¿, 55.2±17.8y), diagnosed with AO(exacerbation of COPD, acute bronquitis & asthma;n=18) and AR diseases(pneumonia; n=12) were recruited.A significant decrease for Wh number (t=2.601 p=0.017) and occupation rate (t=2.533, p=0.020) per BC, in all locations, was found for AR patients. In all chest locations, the number of Cr per BC, presented a significant increase (t=-3.476, p=0.001) for AO and decrease (t=2.692, p=0.009) for AR patients. No significant differences were found for the 2CD. Both Wh and Cr changed significantly in response to RP. Wh and Cr decrease in AR diseases may be indicative of more airways opened after treatment. Cr increase in AO diseases, suggest movement of secretions to more central airways, allowing more air to pass and leading airways to suddenly open. Further research is recommended.
