Journal Article
Latimer, L. E., Constantin-Teodosiu, D., Popat, B., Constantin, D., Houchen-Wolloff, L., Bolton, C. E., …Greenhaff, P. L. (2022). Whole-body and muscle responses to aerobic exercise training and withdrawal in ageing and COPD. European Respiratory Journal, 59(5), Article 2101507. https://doi.org/10.1183/13993003.01507-2021

BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients exhibit lower peak oxygen uptake (V'O2peak), altered muscle metabolism and impaired exercise tolerance compared with age-matched controls. Whether these traits reflect muscle-level dec... Read More about Whole-body and muscle responses to aerobic exercise training and withdrawal in ageing and COPD.

Journal Article
Pick, H., Faghy, M., Cresswell, G., Ashton, D., Bolton, C., McKeever, T., …Bewick, T. (2021). The feasibility and tolerability of using Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) with adults discharged from the hospital with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Advances in Respiratory Medicine, 89, 216-220. https://doi.org/10.5603/ARM.a2021.0002

Background: Patients experience substantial morbidity following discharge from hospital and during recovery from community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has demonstrated improved functional capacity and reduced patient-r...

The burden of chronic respiratory diseases in adults in Nepal: A systematic review (2021)
Journal Article
Ekezie, W., Jenkins, A. R., Hall, I. P., Evans, C., Koju, R., Kurmi, O. P., & Bolton, C. E. (2021). The burden of chronic respiratory diseases in adults in Nepal: A systematic review. Chronic Respiratory Disease, 18, 1-20. https://doi.org/10.1177/1479973121994572

While chronic lung disease causes substantial global morbidity and mortality, global estimates have primarily been based on broad assumptions. Specific country data from low-income countries such as Nepal are limited. This review assessed primary evi...
