Abstract
The rapid growth of the Internet of Things and wearable sensors has led to advancements in monitoring technology in the field of health. One such advancement is the development of wearable respiratory sensors, which offer a new approach to real-time respiratory monitoring compared to traditional methods. However, the energy consumption of these sensors raises concerns about environmental pollution. To address the issue, this study proposes the use of a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) as a sustainable energy source. The electrical conductivity of the TENG is improved by incorporating chitosan and carbon nanotubes, with the added benefit of chitosan's biodegradability reducing negative environmental impact. A wireless intelligent respiratory monitoring system (WIRMS) is then introduced, which utilizes a degradable triboelectric nanogenerator for real-time respiratory monitoring, diagnosis, and prevention of obstructive respiratory diseases. WIRMS offers stable and highly accurate respiratory information monitoring, while enabling real-time and nondestructive transmission of information. In addition, machine learning technology is used for sleep respiration state analysis. The potential applications of WIRMS extend to wearables, medical monitoring and sports monitoring, thereby presenting innovative ideas for modern medical and sports monitoring.

COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:7703835. [PMID: 35912158 PMCID: PMC9337933 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7703835] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Revised: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Background Breathing exercise can help patients with dyspnea to change the wrong breathing pattern, improve the degree of freedom of respiratory muscles, increase alveolar ventilation, promote breathing, and relieve the symptoms of dyspnea patients. Therefore, this study is aimed at investigating the role of breathing training in alleviating postoperative pain in patients with spinal nerve root entrapment syndrome. Objective To explore the effect of respiratory training in relieving postoperative pain in patients with spinal nerve root entrapment syndrome. Methods Fifty-eight patients with spinal nerve root entrapment syndrome treated in our hospital from May 2020 to May 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were randomly divided into a control group (n = 29) and an observation group (n = 29). The control group was given routine postoperative pain nursing, and the observation group was given respiratory training on the basis of the control group. The scores of visual analogue scale (VAS), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), Oswestry dysfunction index questionnaire (ODI), the dosage of postoperative analgesics, and the time of first out-of-bed activity were recorded before pain nursing intervention and 3 days and 7 days after intervention. Results The VAS, SAS, and ODI scores of the observation group after 3 d and 7 d of intervention were lower than those of the control group. Compared with the same group, the scores of VAS, SAS, and ODI after 3 d and 7 d of intervention were lower than those before intervention, and those after 7 d of intervention were lower than those after 3 d of intervention (P < 0.05). The dosage of postoperative analgesics and the time of first out-of-bed activity in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Respiratory training can effectively relieve postoperative pain, reduce anxiety, and improve spinal function in patients with spinal nerve root entrapment syndrome, which is beneficial to the prognosis of patients and is worthy of promotion.

Abstract
Running is among the most popular sporting hobbies and often chosen specifically for intrinsic psychological benefits. However, up to 40% of runners may experience exercise-induced dyspnoea as a result of cascading physiological phenomena, possibly causing negative psychological states or barriers to participation. Breathing techniques such as slow, deep breathing have proven benefits at rest, but it is unclear if they can be used during exercise to address respiratory limitations or improve performance. While direct experimental evidence is limited, diverse findings from exercise physiology and sports science combined with anecdotal knowledge from Yoga, meditation, and breathwork suggest that many aspects of breathing could be improved via purposeful strategies. Hence, we sought to synthesize these disparate sources to create a new theoretical framework called “Breath Tools” proposing breathing strategies for use during running to improve tolerance, performance, and lower barriers to long-term enjoyment.
