Abstract
Background The effects of expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) has not yet been investigated in MSA patients. Objective The primary objective was to test the effects of EMST on expiratory muscle strength and voluntary peak cough flow (vPCF) in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA). The secondary objective was to assess the suitability of the pulmonary dysfunction index as a tool for identifying MSA patients with expiratory muscle weakness and reduced voluntary peak cough flow. Methods This was an open label, non-controlled study, with an 8-week intensive home-based EMST protocol. The outcome measures included: maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) and vPCF. The sensitivity and specificity of the index of pulmonary dysfunction in the respiratory diagnostic process were assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results Fifteen MSA patients were enrolled in the study. Twelve MSA patients completed the training period. After the training period, MEP significantly increased (P = 0.006). Differences in vPCF were not significant (P = 0.845). ROC analysis indicated that the overall respiratory diagnostic accuracy of the index of pulmonary dysfunction had an outstanding capability to detect patients at risk of less effective coughing and an acceptable capability of detecting patients with decreased expiratory muscle strength. Conclusions These findings indicate non-significant differences in vPCF after 8 weeks of EMST. The index of pulmonary dysfunction appears to be a promising prognostic screening tool for identifying altered cough efficacy in MSA patients. Test cut-offs may be used to select an appropriate respiratory physiotherapy technique.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim was to verify the impact of obesity on the long-term outcome of patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 ARDS. MATERIALS AND METHODS The retrospective study included patients admitted to the high-volume ECMO centre between March 2020 and March 2022. The impact of body mass index (BMI), co-morbidities and therapeutic measures on the short and 90-day outcomes was analysed. RESULTS 292 patients were included, of whom 119(40.8%) were treated with veno-venous ECMO cannulated mostly (73%) in a local hospital. 58.5% were obese (64.7% on ECMO), the ECMO was most frequent in BMI > 40(49%). The ICU mortality (36.8% for obese vs 33.9% for the non-obese, p = 0.58) was related to ECMO only for the non-obese (p = 0.04). The 90-day mortalities (48.5% obese vs 45.5% non-obese, p = 0.603) of the ECMO and non-ECMO patients were not significantly influenced by BMI (p = 0.47, p = 0.771, respectively). The obesity associated risk factors for adverse outcome were age <50 (RR 2.14) and history of chronic immunosuppressive therapy (RR 2.11, p = 0.009). The higher dosage of steroids (RR 0.57, p = 0.05) associated with a better outcome. CONCLUSIONS The high incidence of obesity was not associated with worse short and long-term outcomes. ECMO in obese patients together with the use of steroids in the later stage of ARDS may improve survival.
