Abstract
PURPOSE This study was designed to synthesize the efficacy and safety of breathing exercises in interstitial lung disease (ILD) patients by reviewing the literature and comparing the impact of different control group types, ILD subtypes, breathing exercise action modes or methods, and intervention durations on clinical efficacy. METHODS Systematic searches were conducted across 9 electronic databases, including PubMed, to retrieve English and Chinese studies reporting on ILD patients from inception to February 12, 2024. Study selection and data extraction were independently conducted by two researchers. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. The data were analysed using RevMan 5.4 and STATA 17.0 software. RESULTS The search identified 25 studies. Compared to the control group, the breathing exercise group exhibited significantly improved lung function (FVC%pred: MD = 3.46, 95%CI = 1.04 to 5.88; DLCO%pred: MD = 3.20, 95% CI = 2.91 to 3.48), dyspnoea (MRC or mMRC scale: MD = - 0.50, 95%CI = - 0.77 to - 0.22), exercise capacity (6MWD: MD = 32.65, 95% CI = 14.77 to 50.53), and HRQoL (SGRQ: MD = - 6.53, 95% CI = - 8.72 to - 4.34) in ILD patients. According to the subgroup analysis, significant improvements consistent with the overall results were observed in the control group with usual treatment. Compared with the control group, breathing exercises had varying degrees of improvement in the mixed diagnostic group, known-cause group, and fibrotic group of ILD patients; breathing exercises alone significantly improved DLCO%pred, MRC (or mMRC), and SGRQ; and the improvement in breathing exercises as part of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) was more notable. Different durations of breathing exercise could promote the efficacy of different aspects of treatment for ILD patients. CONCLUSIONS Compared with usual treatment, breathing exercises can improve lung function, exercise capacity, and HRQoL in ILD patients, particularly without high requirements for intervention duration. The efficacy of breathing exercises varies for different ILD subtypes, and incorporating breathing exercises as part of PR can be more beneficial for ILD patients. No studies have shown significant risks for ILD patients engaging in breathing exercises.

Abstract
PURPOSE To gather evidence on the effectiveness and safety of qigong, tai chi, and yoga to modulate symptoms associated with chronic respiratory diseases. METHODS A search of systematic reviews was conducted in CINHAL, Embase, PubMed, PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus, and the Cochrane Library from inception to November 2022. Systematic reviews with meta-analyses investigating physical and psychological measures were eligible. The methodological quality of systematic reviews (AMSTAR-2), the spin of information in abstracts, and the overlap of primary studies were explored. RESULTS Twenty-seven systematic reviews involving 37 000 participants, 146 studies, and 150 meta-analyses were included. Reviews investigated asthma (n = 4) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (n = 23). Most reviews discussed their findings without considering the risk of bias of primary studies. The overlap ranged between slight (5%) and very high (35%). Yoga was better than control interventions to improve symptoms related with asthma. In adults with COPD, qigong improved dyspnoea, exercise endurance, lung function, and quality of life, while tai chi and yoga increased exercise endurance. CONCLUSIONS The impact of yoga on symptoms associated with asthma varied depending on the lung function parameter and the control group. Qigong, tai chi, and yoga could be effective to improve COPD-related symptoms, especially exercise endurance.

Abstract
Objectives Chronic dyspnea, a distressing symptom in patients with complex chronic conditions, is linked to higher risks of mortality. This study aimed to identify nursing interventions that could improve self-management for complex chronic patients, thereby enhancing control over chronic dyspnea. The findings intend to guide nursing care strategies that promote self-management among this population. Methods We searched the databases Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR), and Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) databases were searched in December 2023. We included adult patients with complex chronic conditions with chronic dyspnoea. The team screened articles collaboratively, using Rayyan software. A qualitative appraisal was performed according to JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist tools. The review protocol is registered under the number CRD42023456021. Results Our review included 18 studies that explored a variety of interventions for chronic dyspnea. We identified pharmacological interventions (such as oxygen therapy and inhalation treatments) and non-pharmacological approaches (including educational programs, breathing exercises, fluid intake management, body awareness techniques, peer support, emotional intelligence training, and the use of web applications). Those interventions empower patients, improve their ability to fulfill life roles, mitigate emotional distress, and improve overall quality of life. Nursing care can be crucial in enabling individuals to achieve independence and autonomy in self-care. Conclusions Promoting self-management for chronic dyspnea in complex chronic patients requires a holistic approach, encompassing multidisciplinary interventions, individualized self-care education, peer engagement, and technological support. Current research on self-management inadequately addresses interventions targeting patient behaviour change. It highlights the need to delve deeper into the self-management process. Further research is needed to expand the evidence base and refine these interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to compare and rank the effectiveness of various breathing exercises for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). DATA SOURCES We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases to determine the articles. STUDY SELECTION Publications investigating the effect of breathing exercises on exercise capacity (six-minute walk test [6MWT]), pulmonary function (the ratio of the first second forced expiratory volume of forced vital capacity [FEV1/FVC]), quality of life (St George's Respiratory Questionnaire [SGRQ]), inspiratory muscle pressure (maximum inspiratory pressure [PImax]), and dyspnea (Borg scale) were searched. DATA EXTRACTION Data extracted by 2 researchers were entered into predesigned tables for data extraction. The quality of the literature was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration's tool. DATA SYNTHESIS A total of 43 RCTs involving 1977 participants were analyzed. To boost exercise capacity, the top 2 exercises were inspiratory muscle training (75%), Chinese traditional fitness exercises (13%); To improve pulmonary function, the top 2 exercises were Chinese traditional fitness exercises (32%), diaphragm breathing (30%); To raise patients' quality of life, the top 2 exercises were yoga (52%), diaphragm breathing (28%); To increase inspiratory muscle pressure, the top 2 exercises were pursed-lip breathing (47%), Chinese traditional fitness exercises (25%); To improve dyspnea, the top 2 exercises were yoga (44%), inspiratory muscle training (22%). CONCLUSIONS Various breathing exercises for COPD patients confer benefits that manifest in diverse ways. Pulmonary rehabilitation specialists could administer personalized breathing exercises tailored to each patient's condition to attain optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Mind-body internet and mobile-based interventions for depression and anxiety in adults with chronic physical conditions: A systematic review of RCTs. PLOS DIGITAL HEALTH 2024; 3:e0000435. [PMID: 38261600 PMCID: PMC10805319 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pdig.0000435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2024]
Abstract
This review summarizes the effectiveness of scalable mind-body internet and mobile-based interventions (IMIs) on depression and anxiety symptoms in adults living with chronic physical conditions. Six databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, SCOPUS, EMBASE, CINAHL, and CENTRAL) were searched for randomized controlled trials published from database inception to March 2023. Mind-body IMIs included cognitive behavioral therapy, breathwork, meditation, mindfulness, yoga or Tai-chi. To focus on interventions with a greater potential for scale, the intervention delivery needed to be online with no or limited facilitation by study personnel. The primary outcome was mean change scores for anxiety and depression (Hedges' g). In subgroup analyses, random-effects models were used to calculate pooled effect size estimates based on personnel support level, intervention techniques, chronic physical condition, and survey type. Meta-regression was conducted on age and intervention length. Fifty-six studies met inclusion criteria (sample size 7691, mean age of participants 43 years, 58% female): 30% (n = 17) neurological conditions, 12% (n = 7) cardiovascular conditions, 11% cancer (n = 6), 43% other chronic physical conditions (n = 24), and 4% (n = 2) multiple chronic conditions. Mind-body IMIs demonstrated statistically significant pooled reductions in depression (SMD = -0.33 [-0.40, -0.26], p<0.001) and anxiety (SMD = -0.26 [-0.36, -0.17], p<0.001). Heterogeneity was moderate. Scalable mind-body IMIs hold promise as interventions for managing anxiety and depression symptoms in adults with chronic physical conditions without differences seen with age or intervention length. While modest, the effect sizes are comparable to those seen with pharmacological therapy. The field would benefit from detailed reporting of participant demographics including those related to technological proficiency, as well as further evaluation of non-CBT interventions. Registration: The study is registered with PROSPERO ID #CRD42022375606.

Abstract
Respiratory function has become a global health priority. Not only is chronic respiratory disease a leading cause of worldwide morbidity and mortality, but the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened attention on respiratory health and the means of enhancing it. Subsequently, and inevitably, the respiratory system has become a target of the multi-trillion-dollar health and wellness industry. Numerous commercial, respiratory-related interventions are now coupled to therapeutic and/or ergogenic claims that vary in their plausibility: from the reasonable to the absurd. Moreover, legitimate and illegitimate claims are often conflated in a wellness space that lacks regulation. The abundance of interventions, the range of potential therapeutic targets in the respiratory system, and the wealth of research that varies in quality, all confound the ability for health and exercise professionals to make informed risk-to-benefit assessments with their patients and clients. This review focuses on numerous commercial interventions that purport to improve respiratory health, including nasal dilators, nasal breathing, and systematized breathing interventions (such as pursed-lips breathing), respiratory muscle training, canned oxygen, nutritional supplements, and inhaled L-menthol. For each intervention we describe the premise, examine the plausibility, and systematically contrast commercial claims against the published literature. The overarching aim is to assist health and exercise professionals to distinguish science from pseudoscience and make pragmatic and safe risk-to-benefit decisions.

Abstract
Background Due to its chronic and progressive nature, chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects patients in many spheres including their perception of quality of life (QOL). Breathing training techniques have shown positive effects on health and QOL for different conditions. Objective The aim of this study was to perform a scoping review to examine the characteristics related to the application of breathing training on patients with CKD, and to identify the relevant outcomes and target group for the application of breathing training. Methods This scoping review was performed in accordance with PRISMA-SRc guidelines. We systematically searched three electronic databases for articles published before March 2022. The studies included patients with chronic kidney disease that received breathing training programs. The breathing training programs were compared to usual care or no treatment. Results A total of four studies were included in this scoping review. The four studies had heterogeneous disease stages and breathing training programs. All the studies included reported positive effects of breathing training programs on QOL of CKD patients. Conclusion The breathing training programs were able to improve the quality of life of patients with CKD undergoing hemodialysis treatment.

Abstract
Deliberate control of the breath (breathwork) has recently received an unprecedented surge in public interest and breathing techniques have therapeutic potential to improve mental health. Our meta-analysis primarily aimed to evaluate the efficacy of breathwork through examining whether, and to what extent, breathwork interventions were associated with lower levels of self-reported/subjective stress compared to non-breathwork controls. We searched PsycInfo, PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov and ISRCTN up to February 2022, initially identifying 1325 results. The primary outcome self-reported/subjective stress included 12 randomised-controlled trials (k = 12) with a total of 785 adult participants. Most studies were deemed as being at moderate risk of bias. The random-effects analysis yielded a significant small-to-medium mean effect size, g = - 0.35 [95% CI - 0.55, - 0.14], z = 3.32, p = 0.0009, showing breathwork was associated with lower levels of stress than control conditions. Heterogeneity was intermediate and approaching significance, χ211 = 19, p = 0.06, I2 = 42%. Meta-analyses for secondary outcomes of self-reported/subjective anxiety (k = 20) and depressive symptoms (k = 18) showed similar significant effect sizes: g = - 0.32, p < 0.0001, and g = - 0.40, p < 0.0001, respectively. Heterogeneity was moderate and significant for both. Overall, results showed that breathwork may be effective for improving stress and mental health. However, we urge caution and advocate for nuanced research approaches with low risk-of-bias study designs to avoid a miscalibration between hype and evidence.

Abstract
Background The effectiveness of breathing exercises in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been demonstrated in several systematic reviews (SRs), but a comprehensive review is still lacking. The aim of this study was to synthesize evidence from SRs, to summarise the effects of breathing exercises interventions for COPD patients. Methods We conducted an overview of the SRs of breathing exercises in the treatment of COPD. We include Systematic Reviews of randomized-controlled clinical trials. In the included COPD, control of breathing exercises alone was the only variable and no restriction was placed on relevant outcome measures. The SRs were screened by computer retrieval from the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang database, Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (CSTJ), Chinese Biological Medicine (CBM), MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Cochrane library, and Web of Science. The Risk of Bias in Systematic reviews (ROBIS) tool, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement, a Measure Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) 2, and the Grades of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) were used to evaluate the risk of bias, reporting quality, methodology quality, and evidence quality. Results Nine SRs met the inclusion criteria and were included in the overview, 4 SRs in Chinese, and 3 SRs in English. All the SRs were published between 2015-2021. According to the ROBIS tool, 4 SRs (57.14%) were rated as low risk of bias. The PRISMA scale showed that 5 SRs had some defects, and 2 SRs were relatively complete. Reporting deficiencies exist primarily in protocol and registration (28.6%), search (42.9%), risk of bias across studies (0%), additional analyses (42.9%), and funding (28.6%). Based on the AMSTAR-2 scale, 3 SRs were low quality, and the other 4 SRs were very low. The result of evidence quality assessment showed that among the 34 outcomes involved in the 7 studies, 19 were low-level outcomes, 15 were very low-level outcomes, and there were no moderate and high-level quality outcomes. Limitations and publication bias were two major factors that reduced the quality of evidence. Conclusion Breathing exercises in certain can improve pulmonary function, exercise endurance, dyspnea, quality of life, and respiratory muscle strength of COPD patients. However, there is an urgent need for high-quality studies to guide clinical practice due to certain deficiencies in reporting quality and the low quality of methodology and outcomes.

A Retrospective Study of Diaphragmatic Breathing Training Combined with Discharge Care Bundles in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:9649986. [PMID: 36159577 PMCID: PMC9492362 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9649986] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2022] [Revised: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Objective. Both physical exercise and discharge care bundles can improve patient outcomes and reduce hospitalization rates among subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The retrospective analysis aims to determine the advantages of care bundles combined with diaphragmatic breathing training (DBT) in COPD patients after discharge. Methods. Of the 110 COPD patients, 55 patients received DBT alone (DBT group) and 55 participants received the combined intervention (care bundle + DBT group). Three months after discharge, we assessed the outcomes of patients using Bristol COPD Knowledge Questionnaire (BCKQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), COPD Assessment Test (CAT), and St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). Meanwhile, COPD-related hospital readmissions were also recorded. Results. The BCKQ score for assessing the disease knowledge level was increased in patients at 3 months after the combined interventions as compared to the baseline values, which was higher in the care bundle + DBT group than the DBT group at 3 months. Moreover, improvements in negative emotion and clinical symptoms from baseline to 3-month follow-up were seen in both the two groups. Besides, the care bundle + DBT group showed the mitigation of depression and anxiety and the alleviation of clinical symptoms in comparison with the DBT group at 3 months. Participants who received combined interventions had lower SGRQ scores than those who received DBT alone. The time to first COPD-related readmission was shorter for patients in the care bundle + DBT group compared with the DBT group. Conclusions. DBT combined with discharge care bundles for COPD patients resulted in improvements in disease-specific knowledge, negative emotions, and clinical symptoms with better HRQOL and lower readmission rate.

Abstract
PURPOSE To clarify whether voluntary respiratory movement control strategy is sustainable during exercise and to determine its effect on aerobic exercise. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten healthy men were enrolled in this study. We developed a device that can convert information on thoracoabdominal changes from an inductance plethysmograph and display the Konno-Mead diagram on the monitor in real time for each breath. On the first day, an incremental load test (ILT) was performed under two conditions. On the second day, a constant load test (CLT) was performed under two conditions using the load 1 min before the anaerobic threshold (AT). RESULTS In the ILT, a significant prolongation of AT time was observed with voluntary respiratory movement control. In the CLT, carbon dioxide excretion showed no significant interaction, but the gas exchange ratio did. CONCLUSION Voluntary respiratory movement control using a combination of chest band and visual feedback of thoracoabdominal movements may be a respiratory strategy to enhance aerobic exercise.

Abstract
This study was conducted to examine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation and deep breathing exercises applied to patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on their dyspnea and fatigue symptoms. The study was a randomized controlled experimental trial and comprised 116 COPD patients who applied to a chest diseases follow-up outpatient clinic hospital located in Gaziantep, Turkey. The data were collected using the "Patient Information Form" including sociodemographic and disease-related characteristics of the patients, COPD and Asthma Fatigue Scale (CAFS), and Dyspnea-12 Scale. Dyspnea-12 Scale and CAFS total scores of the patients in the intervention group showed a statistically significant difference before and after the Progressive Relaxation Exercise and Deep Breathing Exercise applications (P < .05). Although the Dyspnea-12 Scale and CAFS total mean scores showed an increase in the intervention group, they remained the same in the control group. In the present study, it was found that the Progressive Muscle Relaxation Exercise and Deep Breathing Exercise applied to COPD patients were effective in decreasing their dyspnea and fatigue symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) face limited treatment options and inadequate access to palliative care. AIM To provide a pragmatic overview of clinical guidelines and produce evidence-based recommendations for severe COPD. Interventions for which there is inconsistent evidence to support their use and areas requiring further research were identified. DESIGN Practice review of guidelines supported by scoping review methodology to examine the evidence reporting the use of guideline-recommended interventions. DATA SOURCES An electronic search was undertaken in MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL and The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, complemented by web searching for guidelines and publications providing primary evidence (July 2021). Guidelines published within the last 5 years and evidence in the last 10 years were included. RESULTS Severe COPD should be managed using a multidisciplinary approach with a holistic assessment. For stable patients, long-acting beta-agonist/long-acting muscarinic antagonist and pulmonary rehabilitation are recommended. Low dose opioids, self-management, handheld fan and nutritional support may provide small benefits, whereas routine corticosteroids should be avoided. For COPD exacerbations, systematic corticosteroids, non-invasive ventilation and exacerbation action plans are recommended. Short-acting inhaled beta-agonists and antibiotics may be considered but pulmonary rehabilitation should be avoided during hospitalisation. Long term oxygen therapy is only recommended for patients with chronic severe hypoxaemia. Short-acting anticholinergic inhalers, nebulised opioids, oral theophylline or telehealth are not recommended. CONCLUSIONS Recommended interventions by guidelines are not always supported by high-quality evidence. Further research is required on efficacy and safety of inhaled corticosteroids, antidepressants, benzodiazepines, mucolytics, relaxation and breathing exercises.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Community-based pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programs can be offered to patients with COPD, but the literature on its effects is still not well summarized. Our purpose was to investigate the health-, physical-, and respiratory-related effects of community-based PR in individuals with COPD as compared to control groups. METHODS The PubMed and Embase databases were searched up to May 17, 2021. We included randomized control trials that compared the effects of community-based PR as compared to control groups in individuals with COPD. The risk of bias was judged using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB2). Meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model to estimate the standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% CI of the mean changes from baseline between groups. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation was used to interpret certainty of results. RESULTS We included 10 randomized control studies comprising a total of 9,350 participants with weighted mean age of 62.3 ± 2.38 y. The community-based interventions were based on exercise programs (resistance and/or endurance). All studies were judged as high risk and/or some concerns in one or more domains the risk of bias. All meta-analyses displayed very low certainty of evidence. The community-based PR interventions were significantly superior to control interventions in improving the St. George Respiratory Questionnaire Activity subscore (-0.40 [95% CI -0.72 to -0.08]; k = 5, n = 382) and total score (-0.73 [95% CI -1.29 to -0.18]; k = 4, n = 268) and the Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire dyspnea subscore (0.36 [95% CI 0.03-0.69]; k = 6, n = 550). The mean changes from baseline were not different between the groups for all other outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Community-based PR tended to result in superior health-related quality of life and symptoms than control interventions, but the findings were inconsistent across outcomes and with very low certainty of evidence. Further studies are warranted for stronger conclusions.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of breathing exercises given by telemedicine in post-Covid-19 dyspneic individuals. Individuals in the intervention group (n: 26) were asked to perform breathing exercise three times a day for 5 weeks (one session performed via telemedicine each week). Individuals in the control group (n: 26) were given a brochure explaining the exercises. The St George's Respiratory Questionnaire, Pulmonary function tests, and six-minute-walk-tests were administered to all individuals at the beginning and end of the study. The posttest FEV1, FVC, MVV values were significantly higher than the pretest values in the intervention group (p2 < .001) whereas no significant differences were found in the control group. Six-minute-walk-distance increased by 54.27 m in the intervention group and 4.69 m in the control group. With breathing exercise training applied through telemedicine, improvements were observed in the pulmonary functions, quality of life, and exercise capacities of dyspneic post-Covid-19 individuals.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic affected college students' overall health. The aims of this qualitative inquiry were to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of the mind-body physical activity (MBPA) intervention and to explore the MBPA intervention experiences through the use of journals and photographs (photovoice) of a purposeful sample of 21 college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. An inductive qualitative process was used to explore the data that emerged from photovoice images and journals. Students' experiences were encapsulated in 6 key themes: (1) holistic individual well-being; (2) physical activity as a matter of necessity; (3) mind-body physical activity intervention impacts; (4) broadening strategies for adapting and reacting; (5) systemic effect of stress management changes; and (6) perceiving causes of stress. Participants reflected collective intellectual, physical, and emotional fatigue as obstacles and perceived stress. The quality of COVID-19 related perspectives and stressful experiences are defined from traumatic and overwhelming to higher than normal. Findings from this study contribute to our understanding of the distinctive factors of the COVID-19 era among college students. Health educators should consider the implementation of multilevel and multicomponent MBPA interventions, and our findings highlight the utility of supporting higher education students in a meaningful way.

Abstract
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease which feature is progressive airflow obstruction. Singing is a popular and convenient activity that requires people to manage their lung volumes and airflow actively. Despite the well-known benefits of singing to healthy people, the specific effect still remains unclear. Objective To investigate the mental and psychological benefits of singing in patients with stable COPD. Search Methods We used Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Guidelines (PRISMA) on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) including singing exercise as the main intervention in stable COPD. We searched 8 electronic databases, including Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Clinical Trials.gov, and the Physical Therapy Evidence Database (PEDro), CNKI, and Wanfang Database from inception until May 2022. The searching languages was English or Chinese. Data extraction using standardized templates was performed by two independent reviewers. The quality of the studies was assessed using the PEDro scale. Data synthesis was performed with Revman 5.4. The pooled effect sizes are reported by MD and 95% CI. Results Five RCTs involving 333 patients with stable COPD were included in this meta-analysis. Singing was regarded as the main intervention in the experimental group. Meta-analysis revealed that singing improves quality of life on Short Form 36 physical component summary (SF-36 PCS) (MD = 12.63, 95% CI: 5.52 to 19.73, P < 0.01) and respiratory muscle in maximal expiratory pressure (PEmax) (MD = 14.30, 95% CI: 0.87 to 27.73, P = 0.04) in patients with COPD. However, it has limited effects on Short Form 36 mental component summary (SF-36 MCS), lung function, exercise capability, and adverse mental state. Conclusion Based on results of the meta-analysis, singing could be used to improve quality of life (SF-36 PCS) and respiratory muscles (PEmax) in patients with COPD.

Abstract
Background Farinelli breathing (FB) exercise is a typical breathing exercise used by singers. This study aimed to compare effects of FB exercise and diaphragmatic breathing (DB) exercise on respiratory function and symptoms in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Sixteen patients aged 51–80 years with mild or moderate COPD were recruited for this study. They were divided into two groups: DB group (n=8) and FB group (n=8). Both groups received complete breathing exercise training five times per week for 8 weeks. Their respiratory functions, COPD symptoms, cytokine levels, and oxidative stress variables were analyzed during pre- and post-tests. Dependent variables were compared between pre- and post-tests using paired t-tests. An independent t-test was used to compare variables between the groups. Differences were considered significant at p<0.05. Results The maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max), and COPD Assessment Test (CAT) scores changed significantly in the DB group after the 8-week intervention compared to those at pre-test, whereas force vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in the first second, maximum voluntary ventilation, maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), MEP, VO2max, CAT score, tumor necrosis factor-α, and malondialdehyde level changed significantly in the FB group at post-test compared to those at pre-test. Moreover, both MIP and MEP in the FB group were significantly higher than those in the DB group. Conclusion FB exercise improved respiratory functions and COPD symptoms of patients with COPD. It might be an alternative breathing exercise in pulmonary rehabilitation programs for patients with COPD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Respiratory muscle oxygen consumption increases with the work of breathing. We hypothesized that reducing excessive respiratory muscle activity during exercise may improve exercise tolerance. METHOD We developed a device to provide real-time visual feedback of thoracoabdominal movement and used it to examine the influence of visual feedback of thoracoabdominal movement during diaphragmatic breathing on oxygen consumption in eight healthy men. While sitting on a wheelchair with the backrest reclined at 60°, oxygen consumption per body weight (VO2/BW), minute ventilation (VE), tidal volume (VT), and breathing frequency (fR) were measured, breath-by-breath, using an expired-gas analyzer. The breathing pattern was analyzed by inductance plethysmography, with transducer bands over the chest and abdomen recording thoracoabdominal movements. RESULTS There was no significant difference in RatioTH-ABD and the ventilatory parameters between diaphragmatic breathing and diaphragmatic breathing with visual feedback. The average VO2/BW during diaphragmatic breathing with visual feedback was 0.6 ml/kg lower than that during diaphragmatic breathing without visual feedback (p<0.05). CONCLUSION When visual feedback was used during diaphragmatic breathing, the RatioTH-ABD remained essentially unchanged, but VO2/BW decreased significantly. This suggests that visual feedback of thoracoabdominal movement during diaphragmatic breathing may reduce respiratory muscle oxygen consumption.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This research was aimed to evaluate the impact of high-quality nursing (HQN) plus respiratory training on treatment compliance, pulmonary function (PF) and quality of life (QoL) of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 89 COPD patients who were treated at the affiliated Nanhua Hospital from February 2019 to February 2021. Among them, 40 cases received drug treatment and breathing training as the control group, and 49 cases were supplemented with HQN as the experimental group on the basis of the control group. The changes in PF, quality of life and compliance were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Vital capacity (VC) and alveolar ventilation (VA) increased in both cohorts after treatment (P < 0.05), and increased more significantly in experimental group compared with control group (P < 0.05). Experimental group also presented markedly higher total effective rate and noticeably lower scores of symptoms, activities and disease impact on daily life than control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS HQN plus respiratory training can effectively improve the PF, efficacy and QoL of patients with COPD.

Abstract
Singing is an increasingly popular activity for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Research to date suggests that ‘Singing for Lung Health’ may improve various health measures, including health-related quality-of-life. Singing and breathing are closely linked processes affecting one another. In this narrative review, we explore the physiological rationale for ‘Singing for Lung Health’ as an intervention, focusing on the abnormalities of pulmonary mechanics seen in COPD and how these might be impacted by singing. The potential beneficial physiological mechanisms outlined here require further in-depth evaluation.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a smartphone application (app) of a COPD action plan (AP) based on symptom self-monitoring (SM) [AP-SM Sapp] to support the early detection of, and response to, symptoms. BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most prevalent respiratory diseases worldwide. Disease control is important to prevent progression of COPD caused by exacerbations; action plans are a successful strategy to prevent and manage COPD exacerbations. However, the digital literacy that COPD patients need to support technology-based COPD action plans is poorly understood. METHODS A systematic literature review identified components for the app's development. Content validity testing with 12 clinical experts identified 35 critical components for inclusion in the app's development. The app was then submitted to user experience evaluation by thirteen technology experts and nine COPD patients. RESULTS In user evaluation of the app, experts evaluated the AP-SM Sapp as a good quality app (57.37 ± 9.13) and COPD patients as an average quality app (44.44 ± 3.94) (range 0-69; higher scores indicating greater endorsement of app quality). Revisions based on these critiques produced a final version. CONCLUSION The app was developed to support COPD patients in the early detection of symptoms so that exacerbations could be prevented or managed appropriately. Although the app used simple messages and pictographs to enhance digital literacy (thus narrowing the digital literacy gap), efficient onboarding will be important if barriers to app use are to be further reduced.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) are major causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide with a substantial burden of the disease being borne by the low and middle income countries (LMICs). Interventions to change health behaviour which aim to improve the quality of life and reduce disease burden due to CRD require knowledge of the problem and factors influencing such behaviour. Our study sought to appreciate the lived experiences of people with CRD, their understanding of the disease and its risk factors, and usual practice of health behaviour in a rural low-literate community in southern India. METHODS Qualitative data were collected between September and December 2018 through eight focus group discussions (FGDs), five in-depth interviews and four key-informant interviews from patients and community members. Community engagement was undertaken prior to the study and all interviews and discussions were recorded with permission. Inductive coding was used to thematically analyse the results. RESULTS Major themes included understanding of chronic lung disease, health behaviours, lived experiences with the disease and social norms, attitudes and other factors influencing health behaviour. DISCUSSION Poor understanding of CRDs and their risk factors affect health seeking behaviour and/or health practices. Stigma associated with the disease and related health behaviours (e.g. inhaler use) creates emotional challenges and mental health problems, besides influencing health behaviour. However barriers can be circumvented by increasing community awareness; communication and connection with the community through community based health care providers can turn challenges into opportunities for better health care.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly infectious virus with overwhelming demand on healthcare systems, which require advanced predictive analytics to strategize COVID-19 management in a more effective and efficient manner. We analyzed clinical data of 2017 COVID-19 cases reported in the Dubai health authority and developed predictive models to predict the patient's length of hospital stay and risk of death. A decision tree (DT) model to predict COVID-19 length of stay was developed based on patient clinical information. The model showed very good performance with a coefficient of determination R2 of 49.8% and a median absolute deviation of 2.85 days. Furthermore, another DT-based model was constructed to predict COVID-19 risk of death. The model showed excellent performance with sensitivity and specificity of 96.5 and 87.8%, respectively, and overall prediction accuracy of 96%. Further validation using unsupervised learning methods showed similar separation patterns, and a receiver operator characteristic approach suggested stable and robust DT model performance. The results show that a high risk of death of 78.2% is indicated for intubated COVID-19 patients who have not used anticoagulant medications. Fortunately, intubated patients who are using anticoagulant and dexamethasone medications with an international normalized ratio of <1.69 have zero risk of death from COVID-19. In conclusion, we constructed artificial intelligence–based models to accurately predict the length of hospital stay and risk of death in COVID-19 cases. These smart models will arm physicians on the front line to enhance management strategies to save lives.

Abstract
ABSTRACT This study identified the effects of pursed-lip breathing (PLB), forward trunk lean posture (FTLP), and combined PLB and FTLP on total and compartmental lung volumes, and ventilation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Sixteen patients with mild to moderate COPD performed 2 breathing patterns of quiet breathing (QB) and PLB during FTLP and upright posture (UP). The total and compartmental lung volumes and ventilation of these 4 tasks (QB-UP, PLB-UP, QB-FTLP, PLB-FTLP) were evaluated using optoelectronic plethysmography. Two-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to identify the effect of PLB, FTLP, and combined strategies on total and compartmental lung volumes and ventilation. End-expiratory lung volume of ribcage compartment was significantly lower in PLB-UP than QB-UP and those with FTLP (P < .05). End-inspiratory lung volume (EILV) and end-inspiratory lung volume of ribcage compartment were significantly greater during PLB-FTLP and PLB-UP than those of QB (P < .05). PLB significantly and positively changed end-expiratory lung volume of abdominal compartment (EELVAB ) end-expiratory lung volume, EILVAB, tidal volume of pulmonary ribcage, tidal volume of abdomen, and ventilation than QB (P < .05). UP significantly increased tidal volume of pulmonary ribcage, tidal volume of abdomen, and ventilation and decreased EELVAB, end-expiratory lung volume, and EILVAB than FTLP (P < .05). In conclusion, combined PLB with UP or FTLP demonstrates a positive change in total and compartmental lung volumes in patients with mild to moderate COPD.

Abstract
AIMS To determine the theoretical framework that explains the mechanisms of the success of breathing exercise interventions in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. DESIGN A realist review. DATA SOURCES Seven bibliographic databases and the grey literature were searched from 2015-January 2020 to identify the studies of breathing exercises. REVIEW METHODS The evaluation criteria of realist review and the mixed method appraisal tool were both used to evaluate the included studies. We extracted and integrated the context-mechanism-outcome strings of each study to form the theoretical framework. RESULTS Six theoretical mechanisms that affected the success of the intervention were articulated: Wide acceptance of training methods, Integration of the intervention with life, Self-management of the participants, Confidence in controlling symptoms, Participation and support of practitioners, Motivation for intervention. Conversely, the other two mechanisms including the gap between implementation and training and the duration of the intervention, had negative impacts on the implementation of breathing exercises. CONCLUSION This review updates and expands the previous literature review on the impact of breathing exercises in people and provides researchers and clinical practitioners with theoretical mechanisms to ensure that the interventions achieve expected effects. IMPACT When formulating or selecting breathing exercise interventions, our theoretical framework will guide researchers and clinical practitioners to ensure that the intervention will have practical effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study aims to determine the best choice of breathing exercises (BE) for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) via a network meta-analysis. METHODS We searched randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of adults with COPD investigating any BEs in MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases. The effects of comparative treatment on the St. George Respiratory Questionnaire as the outcome were analysed and ranked according to a surface under the cumulative classification curve (SUCRA) analysis. RESULTS The network meta-analysis included six RCTs involving 280 patients with four intervention groups, comprising control, diaphragmatic breathing training (DBT), yoga, and singing course. Performing SUCRA, we reported that yoga is 75% likely to be the best treatment available as DBT with 66%, instead of 35% for singing and 21% for control. CONCLUSION DBT and yoga seem to be the best choices for breathing exercises in people with COPD.

Abstract
There is potentially a broad range of patient populations in which ultrasound imaging (US) might be beneficial form of physiotherapy process support. Among them, the group of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is of great importance, as in this individuals the diaphragm dysfunction is frequently observed. Pulmonary physiotherapy often includes techniques which are intended to influence the diaphragm muscle but its anatomy does not allow for variety of techniques to assess function. Lack of easily available and reliable measures complicates outcomes interpretation and makes decision-making process difficult. A review of the electronic literature was conducted to identify studies related to the US assessment of physiotherapy process and its outcome in COPD patients. As a consequence, seven papers were identified. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the diaphragm excursion is US measure that is most often described in context of diaphragm-related physiotherapy in COPD patients. The methodology applied, however, varies greatly making it difficult to compare results. Thus, developing standards of outcome assessment methods and therapy monitoring systems which are supported by evidence should be of paramount importance. Future studies could also focus on identifying which components of physiotherapeutic diaphragm-targeted approach provide acceptable level of evidence.

Abstract
Background: Breathing is an essential part of life. Diaphragmatic breathing (DB) is slow and deep breathing that affects the brain and the cardiovascular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems through the modulation of autonomic nervous functions. However, the effects of DB on human health need to be further investigated. Methods: The author conducted a PubMed search regarding the current evidence of the effect of DB on health. Results: This review consists of a total of 10 systematic reviews and 15 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). DB appears to be effective for improving the exercise capacity and respiratory function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although the effect of DB on the quality of life (QoL) of patients with asthma needs to be investigated, it may also help in reducing stress; treating eating disorders, chronic functional constipation, hypertension, migraine, and anxiety; and improving the QoL of patients with cancer and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and the cardiorespiratory fitness of patients with heart failure. Conclusions: Based on this narrative review, the exact usefulness of DB in clinical practice is unclear due to the poor quality of studies. However, it may be a feasible and practical treatment method for various disorders.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been considered a significant health challenge globally in recent years, which affects different aspects of the quality-of-life (QoL). A review was conducted of research output, research topics, and landscape to have a global view of the papers mentioning the interventions to increase QoL of patients with COPD. A total of 3242 research items from Web of Science during the period 1990-2018 were downloaded and analyzed. Analyses based on the different levels of data and methods using using VOSviewer software tool (version 1.16.15, Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), Leiden University, Leiden, The Netherlands) and Latent Dirichlet allocation. By exploring the trends in research productivity and topics, an increase was found in the number of papers mentioning non-pharmacological interventions as well as mental health illness and QoL among patients with COPD. In conclusion, the research on the interventions to increase the QoL of patients with COPD has attracted scientists globally. It is suggested that more research should be conducted on the effectiveness of non-pharmacological therapies to increase QoL of patients with COPD that can be applied broadly in the community. The collaboration and support from developed countries to developing countries are needed to increase the QoL of people living with COPD.
