The value of multiple tests of respiratory muscle strengthJoerg Steier
Respiratory Muscle Laboratory, King s College London School of Medicine, King s College Hospital, Denmark Hill, London SE5 9PJ, UK
Thorax 62:975-80. 2007..Tests of varying complexity and invasiveness are available to assess respiratory muscle strength. The relative precision of different tests in the detection of weakness is less clear, as is the value of multiple tests...
Sleep-disordered breathing in unilateral diaphragm paralysis or severe weaknessJ Steier
King s College London School of Medicine, King s College Hospital, Chest Unit, 2nd floor Cheyne Wing, Denmark Hill, London SE5 9PJ, UK
Eur Respir J 32:1479-87. 2008..The diaphragm electromyogram, reflecting neural respiratory drive, is doubled in patients compared with normal subjects, and increases further in rapid eye movement sleep...
Neural respiratory drive in obesityJ Steier
Chest Unit, King s College London School of Medicine, Denmark Hill, London, UK
Thorax 64:719-25. 2009..The load imposed on ventilation by increased body mass contributes to the respiratory symptoms caused by obesity. A study was conducted to quantify ventilatory load and respiratory drive in obesity in both the upright and supine postures...
Increased load on the respiratory muscles in obstructive sleep apneaJoerg Steier
King s College London School of Medicine, London, UK
Respir Physiol Neurobiol 171:54-60. 2010..Patients with OSA require specific and increased levels of neural respiratory drive to sustain ventilation in sleep...
Screening for sleep-disordered breathing in neuromuscular disease using a questionnaire for symptoms associated with diaphragm paralysisJ Steier
King s College London School of Medicine, Chest Unit, Cheyne Wing, Denmark Hill, London, UK
Eur Respir J 37:400-5. 2011..However, comorbidities, such as heart failure, that have symptoms influenced by posture could alter diagnostic accuracy...
Continuous transcutaneous submental electrical stimulation in obstructive sleep apnea: a feasibility studyJoerg Steier
King s College London School of Medicine, King s Health Partners, London, England
Chest 140:998-1007. 2011..The therapeutic value of transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the genioglossus muscle in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to reduce sleep-disordered breathing is unclear...
Nocturnal asthma monitoring by chest wall electromyographyJoerg Steier
King s College London School of Medicine, Chest Unit, 2nd floor Cheyne Wing, Denmark Hill, London SE5 9RS, UK
Thorax 66:609-14. 2011..Patients with suboptimal asthma control often have nocturnal symptoms which wake them, causing sleep fragmentation...
Neural respiratory drive, pulmonary mechanics and breathlessness in patients with cystic fibrosisCharles C Reilly
Department of Asthma, Allergy and Respiratory Science, King s College London School of Medicine, King s College Hospital, Bessemer Road, London SE5 9PJ, UK
Thorax 66:240-6. 2011..Objectives To test the hypothesis that NRD measured by sEMGpara correlates with EMGdi, to provide an index of disease severity in cystic fibrosis (CF) and to relate to exercise-induced breathlessness...
