Journal Article
The 6-minute walk: a new measure of exercise capacity in patients with chronic heart failure
Gordon H. Guyatt,Michael J. Sullivan,Penelope J. Thompson,Ernest L. Fallen,S. O. Pugsley,D W Taylor,Leslie B. Berman +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the 6-minute walk is a useful measure of functional exercise capacity and a suitable measure of outcome for clinical trials in patients with chronic heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of encouragement on walking test performance.
Gordon H. Guyatt,S. O. Pugsley,Michael J. Sullivan,Penelope J. Thompson,Leslie B. Berman,Norman L. Jones,Ernest L. Fallen,D W Taylor +7 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the need for careful standardisation of the performance of walking tests, and suggest caution in interpreting studies in which standardisation is not a major feature of the study design.
Journal ArticleDOI
How should we measure function in patients with chronic heart and lung disease
Gordon H. Guyatt,Penelope J. Thompson,Leslie B. Berman,Michael J. Sullivan,Marie Townsend,Norman L. Jones,S. O. Pugsley +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that exercise capacity in the laboratory can be differentiated from functional exercise capacity (the ability to undertake physically demanding activities of daily living) and that the walk test provides a good measure of function in patients with heart and lung disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Management of prenatally diagnosed tracheal obstruction: access to the airway in utero prior to delivery.
TL;DR: A fetus of 23-weeks gestation presented with polyhydramnios, and was found on sonography to have a large anterior cervical teratoma, which illustrates the feasibility and potential value of in utero airway access in cases of prenatally diagnosed tracheal obstruction
Journal ArticleDOI
Antenatal and postnatal findings in encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis.
Małgorzata J.M. Nowaczyk,John R. Mernagh,Jacqueline M. Bourgeois,Penelope J. Thompson,Erik Jurriaans +4 more
TL;DR: This case offers a unique insight into the antenatal and postnatal development of the hamartoneoplastic lesions of ECCL, and it highlights the difficulties inherent in the antennatal sonographic diagnosis of hamart oneoplastic syndromes.
