General medicineA J Moore
Royal Brompton Hospital, London
J R Army Med Corps 150:278-86. 2004
Diaphragm weakness as a cause of breathlessness after anatomically distant surgeryA J Moore
Department of Respiratory Medicine, Royal Brompton Hospital, London SW3 6NP, UK
Thorax 60:786-7. 2005..The case histories are presented of two patients in whom breathlessness developed following surgery to an anatomically distant site. Respiratory muscle testing demonstrated diaphragm weakness in both patients...
Passive properties of the diaphragm in COPDAlastair J Moore
Respiratory Muscle Laboratory, Royal Brompton Hospital and National Heart Lung Institute, London SW3 6NP, UK
J Appl Physiol 101:1400-5. 2006..This may assist the muscle with the energetic changes in the length of the diaphragm required during breathing in COPD...
Malignant mesotheliomaAlastair J Moore
Department of Respiratory Medicine, Wexham Park Hospital, Wexham, Slough, Berkshire, UK
Orphanet J Rare Dis 3:34. 2008..Compensation issues must also be considered. Life expectancy in malignant mesothelioma is poor, with a median survival of about one year following diagnosis...
Sniff nasal inspiratory pressure versus IC/TLC ratio as predictors of mortality in COPDAlastair J Moore
Royal Brompton Hospital, London SW3 6NP, UK
Respir Med 104:1319-25. 2010..We therefore compared the SnIP to the inspiratory capacity-to-total lung capacity (IC/TLC) ratio as predictors of mortality in advanced COPD...
Quadriceps strength predicts mortality in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseElisabeth B Swallow
Respiratory Muscle Laboratory, Royal Brompton Hospital, Fulham Road, London SW3 6NP, UK
Thorax 62:115-20. 2007..Prognosis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is poorly predicted by indices of air flow obstruction, because other factors that reflect the systemic nature of the disease also influence prognosis...
Unilateral extrapulmonary airway bypass in advanced emphysemaAlastair J Moore
Department of Respiratory Medicine, Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Trust, London, United Kingdom
Ann Thorac Surg 89:899-906, 906.e1-2. 2010..We tested the hypothesis that a direct connection between the lung parenchyma and the atmosphere could increase expiratory flow and thereby potentially improve dyspnea through the relief of gas trapping...
A novel technique for nonvolitional assessment of quadriceps muscle endurance in humansE B Swallow
Respiratory Muscle Laboratory, Royal Brompton Hospital, Fulham Rd, London SW3 6NP, United Kingdom
J Appl Physiol 103:739-46. 2007..68, P = 0.004) and CS-to-PFK ratio (CS/PFK) (r = 0.67, P = 0.005). We conclude that quadriceps endurance assessed using rMS is feasible in clinical studies...
