Poor goldfish, though. Poor, poor gold fish.
| Junigatsu84 chapter 1 . 12/7/2009
This is such a cute story! I think you portrayed Naruto and Sasuke very well. They stay in character and act in ways that are easy to picture them. Sasuke's story about the fish was really sad. Though the parents' punishment fits how I think an Uchiha would have disciplined a child. Very well written!

I'm so glad your back to writing FanFiction! I know you posted this a while ago and I feel guilty about just getting to it now but what can you do right? *Sweatdrops*
That was adorable! I feel so bad for Sasuke! That's just disturbing what happened with the goldfish. Seriously. Where'd you come up with that? But that does sound suitable for his jerkish parents. I hate those guys. I wish Itachi would have done something for him then! XD Couldn't resist.
You're good at NaruSasuNaru cat Oneshots! XD I just loved it. That's all I can say really. I love everything you write! Everyone's always in character, everything's described well, spelling and grammar is great, there's really nothing at all to complain about. Everything's just perfect!
Great job, good luck, and happy writing!

Thank you
| Chugga Chugga Choo Choo chapter 1 . 7/27/2009
Aww, that's just adorable. It's probably one of the only fanfics I've read that's fluffy, and also has some sort of message behind it. Really well written :)
| Crazy PurpleSage chapter 1 . 7/24/2009
That was so great. You do like AU fics don't you? And your characterisation is spot on. Excellently written. It actually reminds me of a picture of Sasuke lying down with a blanket covering him and three kittens playing around him, while he has the fourth raised above him by the scruff of it's neck and he's looking at with a calculating stare. Like he's not exactly mad at it, but he doesn't exactly love it either.
And I love how you addressed the problems of the relationships while still leaving stuff unsaid. Even the ending. You know it all worked out, but still it all goes without saying.
Overall, a lovely story!

Games You Should Play on Steam Early Access, Day One: Dungeon of the Grim Throne
Dungeon of the Endless, Grim Dawn, and Nuclear Throne each bring their own brand of danger and glory to Steam Early Access as Chris Watters hosts Day 1 of our week long feature.
by Mary Kish on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
1:54 - exit, not eggsit.
Starbound and Insurgency are both very worthy titles.
Don't let the lack of popularity surrounding Insurgency concern you. As some have put it, it is like Red Orchestra in the modern era and is incredibly fun and it looks good too. It's not your typical point and click-fest either. It is shaping up to be a fantastic game and it'd be a shame if it doesn't gather a high enough popularity for its multiplayer to flourish whenever it is released.
My ratings:
Starbound : 9/10
Insurgency : 7.5/10
So much better then reading a preview! Good Job Gamspot!
Diablo + Dead Rising?
I totally get that 'some' people like to play games that are not finished yet, but it's definitely not for me. I want a smooth, totally finished product.
I do like to see the 'action RPG' genre is not dead, (Grim Dawn in the video above actually looks ok). That said the other two games look like crap.
don't support this bs trend
don't buy early access
don't pay for alphas
Unless they are fighting aliens, I am so not gonna watch White House Down. And what's with the graphics on the helicopters, looks like the green marines from toystory. Sheesh!
Dungeon of the Endless is the only thing I thought about buying the minute I saw it; cheap too.
Grim Dawn? Well.. it's been in development really since Titan Quest's expansion was released. It's very old nowadays and it sure as hell looks like it too. I don't think it will live up to its legacy, especially after PoE took the reigns of the Diablo-like ARPG genre.
Thanks for the heads up on these games. I just put Grim Dawn on my Wishlist. To many games to play right now.
Grim Dawn feels VERY much like Titan Quest right out of the gate. Which is natural considering it's made by some of the dudes what made TQ, and a very good thing considering TQ is still the best Diablo game ever made.
They should do one with games you should not play and The Dead Linger should be number one bad bad bad game.
Grim dawn looks really good, I might go and buy that. Thanks GS.
Glad you guys are pointing out the playable entries. There are too many early access games which are pretty but featureless.
don't know why gs is advocating that people go out and spend money on unfinished alphas and betas. For only $20-$60 you too can get in on all the fun. Yes, live your dream of becoming an unpaid beta tester TODAY!
Im not a fan of early access, alpha games. They could be utter crap and releasing them early makes victims out of gamers. Ill wait for a few reviews before buying.
Steam are apparently shutting down Green light games soon. They are pushing all the ones in the pipe out quick so they have no more to put out then finished with it.
I love this feature! I was just thinking about how many early access games there have been lately, and how disappointing some of them turned out to be o.O Well done gamespot :-D
"Diablo clone trope"
oy vey.
The two most overused words on the internet are "trope" and "narrative". I wish people could find ways of expressing themselves without using these pedantic, pretentious pseudo-intellectual terms.
Most of Early-access games are total shit. DayZ game lately is bugging out as a best selling game of early-access so I bought it just to check it out how bogus it is. Guess what? Its total shit as of now and maybe for another year
Lol touche. I like his previous games though. Minus that...one.
Every one of these look like getters.
I'm liking this. These are the type of games that are easy to miss and it's hard to keep track of and this video feature really helps.
Looking forward to more episodes.
Great show! Its also very nice to see some interest in PC gaming on this site.
Inb4 Kevin van Ord gives another mediocre aRPG a 9 out of 10.
Main my concern with Steam Early Access is the pricing. Most of the games I see available for it are asking full retail price, despite being unfinished and in some cases seriously plagued with bugs. If anything, the games should be cheaper prior to being finished. After all, you are buying an unfinished product and giving valuable feedback to developers free of charge.
Here's a personal example. I first purchased State of Decay on Xbox Live for $20. Despite being an engaging experience, the graphics were quite blurry and the framerate was ridiculously inconsistent - it was common for the game to freeze mid-gameplay for a few seconds. Still, it was a fun game, so I was happy to hear that they were planning a PC release that would hopefully fix these issues (it did for the most part).
I paid $20 once again for the game via Steam Early Access. It was technically a finished game and close to official release, so it seemed like a good idea. Less than two weeks after the game came out, however, the price dropped by half during a Steam Sale. Basically, I got a worse deal by taking part in Early Access, and that doesn't seem very fair. This seems to be a trend.
I can honestly see the benefits of Steam Early Access, but I resent the idea that we should pay full price for an unfinished product. For those of you who would respond with "you don't have to buy it," my main concern is the precedent that is set by this. Just like DLC, when people are openly willing to be ripped off by developers/publishers it affects us all by setting new pricing standards. We really need to think about what it means to "vote with your dollars."
Don't really care for Grim Dawn, we already have Path of Exile, so if it really doesn't bring anything itself to the ARPG... then whats the point.
Dungeon of the Endless, I JUST WANT IT FINISHED ALREADY!!, its some solid fun taking that its in alpha... version 0.1.3 I believe, but it has a few floors. The only negative comments i see is morons not understanding they bought a game in alpha >.< (They some how missed all the warnings).
That Nuclear game looks decent enough to pick up for some hours to burn into something. The Blind Ninja Chicken, has me nearly set on buying the game.
Oh, an Insurgency just had ANOTHER update. Over 330mb :D woot!
I highly recommend people get both Starbound and Insurgency ;)
@ShepardCommandr Yep, you are the type of person who shouldn't support this trend. Because you are going into it with the mindset "I'm paying to play an unfinished game" - if you go into it with the mindset "I get to play this game early and look for bugs / find out if I should be more interested in following it through development, then you'll be happy. I love this early access stuff.. more games, faster.
@ShepardCommandrwhy ?
Plus you dont play alphas you test them..
@shreddyzyou are helping fund the development of the game, plus for donig so you actually get to test the game..
I guess you are ok with AAA titles having pre-orders months before the game is out that you get nothing for yeah?
@shreddyz Beta testing is testing the game for bugs by doing monotonous things such as jumping on the same spot 500 times to see if you can break the game.
This is not beta testing, its just pre-ordering with an extra perk
@shreddyz Lots of people don`t get the point of early access. You invest in a game so the developers can try and make the game great and in return you get the latest version they`re working on. It`s really like the stock market.
@mcullinan It also gives them funding and increases the likelihood of completion. I suppose it is a bit of a blessing and a curse.
@placksheep Cheers, glad you enjoyed it!
@TheLeftHandDoomErr... How are "trope" and "narrative" pretentious or pseudo-intellectual terms? As long as they are used correctly I don't see any reason to be upset about it.
@HuSSaR83 I reckon Valve will implement some sort of minimum standard at some point. You just know that one of the 87 early access games is going to fail hard because it was never in a position to actually be completed and the constant whining of the early adopters not understanding the concept of an "alpha" will sidetrack them from developing the core gameplay.
@HuSSaR83 Try Starbound
To be fair Day Z was always a buggy piece of shit, mod or not. And it will be that way for the full game all the way out of alpha into full release.
Nether is so much better and well made and is actually worth getting early.
@nicolasetespqr We don't score early access games. And Grim Dawn is fine, and wonderfully playable, but not special. If you're trying to make an obnoxious crack about Path of Exile, you can read the review to discover why I think that game is so praise-worthy.
@plasticreality Paying for something and having it go on sale a couple of weeks later isn't really an issue with Steam Early Access. Pretty much any game is going to end up being cheaper, it just depends on if you want to play it now, or wait to play it later.
As far as getting the game cheaper, it all depends on the developer. There have been a handful that are cheaper on Early Access, but most are not in order to keep people away from buying them unless they really want to help with the game development or toy around with it before it's finished. Arma III was $30ish dollars during it's early access and jumped up to a full $60 after release, not sure if DayZ standalone will do the same, but I wouldn't doubt it given that Bohemia Interactive is also developing it.
On the flipside, some games are more expensive during early access to keep out people who aren't there for testing. Planetary Annihilation is $60 and is supposed to go down as the game enters beta and finally, full release. I'd like to play it, but they put up a pay wall to keep the amount of people down, so I wait until they lower the price, then I'll give it a go.
I also bought State of Decay as soon as it was available on Early Access and it's a great game, well worth $20 and then some. I bought the DLC when it came out because I enjoyed the game so much. I don't think I was ripped off because someone else got it for cheaper on a Steam sale, that's just the way Steam works. If you really want to play something, go ahead and buy it, but if you're on the fence, wait a couple of months and it will more-than-likely end up going on sale for half price or even more.
You could even watch other sites like Amazon or Green Man Gaming to ensure you're catching every sale that's out there. Even the Humble Bundle has some great games if you want to get a lot of entertainment for a ridiculously good price. One of the best things about Steam is that you can game on the cheap if you've got a little patience to wait for a good sale.
@plasticreality Gone are the days where we would get Demo's for nearly every game. I soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo wish they brought it back. It's one of the reason why PS1 was so great.
Steam has seasonal sales, wait to buy stuff till then, you can get games only a month old for like 50% off.
Maybe they should just let players play alpha's for free, and buying during alpha and/or beta gives some nice rewards.
@Hamsnowmer will you still support a video game developer that has taken the money and left town but sends tweets once in a while claiming all is well? so many working poor gamers acting like philanthropists these days!. how noble of you.
@Caldrin @shreddyz No, absolutely not!. I do not believe in pre-ordering games either. I will never pay for a video game in advance of it's official release nor will i ever pay for an unfinished/tested product.
I also have no interest in 'helping' a developer to create the game I want to play. That is all bullshit that devs feed young impressionable gamers, and alot of them fall for it. I do not give my money to promises and in hopes that a certain dev will actually follow through on.
Plus Path of Exile is nowhere near mediocre. It's an amazing game with a dev team that deserves a lot of respect. Especially for sticking to their guns about how their micro-transactions are done.I applaud them.
I also have a great deal fo respect for Kevin here. As should most.
@Crzy1 @plasticreality I'm with you on waiting for Steam Sales, but I don't agree that developers should be allowed to charge high prices for beta access. It's just not an ethical business practice (imo). Obviously people are willing to pay the money, but I think it's a bad trend.
Either way, I think this needs to be explored more by gaming journalists, instead of them (perhaps unwittingly) acting like cheerleaders for Steam without any critical discussion.
@Caldrin @shreddyz hahah me too. I'm not as adventurous and trusting as you though when it comes to supporting video game developers. I know what you're saying and in principle I would like indie devs to use it as a start up, as well, but since i've seen many people burned so many times by promises I can no long accept what this industry (honest Indie devs included) say. As the saying goes- I trust them as far as I can throw them! ;)
@shreddyz@CaldrinLOL if only I was still young..
I am happy to support indie game developers that are working on a type of game that I really want to play.
For instance a recent game I backed was a MMORPG called The Repopulation, now without running kickstarter campaigns this game may never have made it even this far.
Another one was Star Citizen the guy behind that was unable to get any investors as they thouht the space sim scene was dead..
I dont just go around backing everything out there but only games that I want to see get made and without crowd funding like Kickstarter and Steam early access some of them would never make it and that would be a very very big shame.
Shadowrun returns is a great example of this the only reason that got made was due to crowd funding and its an excellent game and I am more than happy that I supported it.
@placksheep @WolfGrey @Kevin-V @nicolasetespqr I'll give the horrendous desyncing a 9/10.
@WolfGrey @Kevin-V @nicolasetespqr
I got many hours of enjoyment from Path of Exile. I don't believe 9/10 is unreasonable at all. And it's FREE <3 <3
@plasticreality Not sure what you consider to be unethical about charging more early on to keep people out. It's there to only let the people in who really want in and it generally includes some perks that won't be available when the final game is complete (forum badges and other junk).
Also not sure why you think Steam needs to be investigated, it's single-handedly brought PC gaming back to life over the past 5 years, if not for Steam, all we'd have for PC games are WoW clones and loads of free-to-play trash (and free-to-play WoW clone trash) rather than games you can actually pay a flat price and play as much as you like.
Steam isn't a caveat venditor system but rather a caveat emptor system. The seller chooses what they want to price a product at and it's up to you, the buyer, to make a choice about whether or not that price is acceptable. Steam is just the vendor in this situation, much like a vending machine you'd find in a public place. They're not fraudulently charging you for something, you made the choice to buy, if you weren't thorough in investigating what you were buying and the price drops later, that's on you and not the vendor.

a patient interface connected to said output end of said chamber, said patient interface and said chamber defining an interior space; and
a CO2 sensor interfacing with said interior space and comprising user indicia adapted to indicate at least one of a level of CO2 in said interior space or a length of time of usage by a user.
10. A respiratory muscle endurance training device comprising:
a chamber comprising an output end;
a patient interface connected to said output end of said chamber, said patient interface and said chamber defining an interior space; and
a temperature sensor coupled to at least one of said chamber and said patient interface and comprising user indicia adapted to indicate at least one of a temperature of said interior space, said chamber and said patient interface or a length of time of usage by a user.
This application claims the benefit of pending U.S. Application No. 60/839,040, filed Aug. 21, 2006, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates generally to a training device, and in particular, to a respiratory muscle endurance training device.
Patients with respiratory ailments, in particular patients with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), have impaired exercise tolerance and diminished ventilatory efficiency. Various techniques have been developed to improve respiratory muscle endurance capacity. For example, one technique involves respiratory muscle training through the use of positive expiratory pressure devices, such as the AEROPEP PLUS valved holding chamber available from Trudell Medical International, the Assignee of the present application.
Another technique is referred to as Respiratory Muscle Endurance Training (RMET). Most current RMET techniques require complicated and expensive equipment, which limits widespread use. Alternatively, a portable tube has been developed for use by COPD patients, and has been effective in improving the endurance exercise capacity of the users.
A respiratory muscle endurance training device includes a chamber and a patient interface. One or both of a CO2 sensor or a temperature sensor can be coupled to the chamber or patient interface to provide the user or caregiver with indicia about the CO2 level in, or the temperature of, the chamber or patient interface, and/or the duration of use of the device. In various embodiments, one-way inhalation and exhalation valves and flow indicators can also be associated with the chamber or patient interface.
In one aspect of the invention, a respiratory muscle endurance training device includes a patient interface for transferring a patient's exhaled or inhaled gases and a fixed volume chamber in communication with the patient interface, where the fixed volume chamber is sized to retain a portion of a patient's exhaled gases. A variable volume chamber in communication with the fixed volume chamber, where the variable volume chamber is configured to be responsive to the patient's exhaled or inhaled gases to move from a first position to a second position. A variable orifice may be positioned on the variable volume chamber to permit a desired amount of exhaled air to escape during exhalation and to receive a supply of air to replace the escaped exhaled air during inhalation.
Methods of using the device are also provided. In particular, the user inhales and exhales into the chamber. Over the course of a plurality of breathing cycles, the CO2 level in the chamber increases, thereby increasing the work of breathing and exercising the user's lungs. In other embodiments, a visual or audible indicator which may be located on the housing of the device may provide flashes or beeps, respectively, to prompt a patient to inhale or exhale at each such indication. In yet other embodiments, a visual or audible indicator that is separate from the device may be used to assist a patient in establishing the desirable breathing pattern.
The various embodiments and aspects provide significant advantages over other respiratory muscle training devices. In particular, the training device is portable and the volume can be easily adjusted to accommodate different users, for example those with COPD, as well as athletes with healthy lungs. In addition, the user or care giver can quickly and easily assess the level or duration of use by way of various sensors, thereby providing additional feedback as to the proper use of the device.
The foregoing paragraphs have been provided by way of general introduction, and are not intended to limit the scope of the following claims. The presently preferred embodiments, together with further advantages, will be best understood by reference to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Referring to
In one embodiment, mating portions 14, 16 of the first and second chambers are configured as cylindrical portions or tubes, with the first chamber component 2 having an outer diameter shaped to fit within an inner diameter of the second chamber component 3. One or both of the chamber components are configured with circumferential ribs 18 and/or seals (shown in
When adjusted, the overall interior volume 12 of the chamber 10 can be adjusted. For example, the interior volume 12 of the chamber can be adjusted from between about 500 cc to about 4000 cc. The chamber volume is adjusted depending on various predetermined characteristics of the user, such as peak expiratory flow. In this way, the interior volume 12 can be adjusted to reduce or increase the total exhaled volume of expired gases captured inside the chamber 10.
The first chamber component 2 includes an output end 24 that is coupled to a patient interface 1. It should be understood that the terms "coupling," "coupled," and variations thereof, mean directly or indirectly, and can include for example a patient interface in-molded with the first chamber at an output end thereof. The patient interface can be configured, without limitation, as a mask, a mouthpiece, a ventilator tube, etc. The term "output" merely refers to the fact that gas or air moves through or from the chamber to the patient interface during inhalation, notwithstanding that gas or air moves from the patient interface into the chamber during exhalation. The term "end" refers to a portion of the chamber that has an opening through which the gas or air moves, and can refer, for example, to a location on a spherical chamber having such an opening, with that portion of the sphere forming the "end."
The second chamber component 3 includes an input end 28, wherein air or gas flows into the chamber 10. The chamber preferably includes a one-way inhalation valve 5 that allows ambient air, or aerosol from an aerosol delivery device, to flow in a one-way direction through the input end 28 of the second chamber component and into the interior volume 12. During an exhalation sequence of the user, an exhalation valve 34 opens to allow exhaled gases to escape to the ambient air. The inhalation valve 5 is preferably configured as a duck-bill valve, although other valves such as slit petal valves, center post valves, valves having a central opening with a peripheral sealing edge, etc. would also work. One acceptable valve is the valve used in the AEROPEP PLUS device, available from Trudell Medical International.
The exhalation valve 34 is preferably formed around a periphery of the inhalation valve. The second chamber 3 also includes a flow indicator 36, formed as a thin flexible member disposed in a viewing portion 38 formed on the second chamber, or as part of a valve cap 6. The flow indicator is configured to move during inhalation or exhalation to provide indicia to the user or caregiver that an adequate flow is being generated in the device. Various embodiments of the flow indicator and inhalation and exhalation valves are disclosed for example and without limitation in U.S. Pat. No. 6,904,908, assigned to Trudell Medical International, London, Ontario, Canada, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. Examples of various aerosol delivery systems and valve arrangements are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,627,432, 5,385,140 5,582,162, 5,740,793, 5,816,240, 6,026,807, 6,039,042, 6,116,239, 6,293,279, 6,345,617, and 6,435,177, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference. A valve chamber 7 is coupled to the input end of the second chamber. The valve chamber isolates and protects the valves from being contaminated or damaged, and further provides for coupling to a substance delivery device such as a tube or an aerosol delivery device.
The chamber 10, for example the first chamber component 2 and/or the patient interface 1, is configured with a CO2 sensor 4, for example and without limitation a CO2 Fenem colormetric indicator available from Engineering Medical Systems, located in Indianapolis, Ind. The CO2 indicator 4 provides visual feedback to the user and/or caregiver as to what the CO2 level is in the chamber 10, or the interior spaced defined by the chamber 10 and the patient interface 1, to ensure that the CO2 level is sufficient to achieve the intended therapeutic benefit. As shown in
The expendable CO2 indicator 4 is configured with user indicia to indicate the level of CO2 in the chamber or interior. The indicator 4 includes a litmus paper with a chemical paper having a chemical material that reacts to the CO2 concentration in a gas. For example and without limitation, the color purple indicates an atmospheric concentration of CO2 molecules less than 0.03%. The color changes to a tan color at 2.0% CO2 in the gas. The color yellow indicates 5.0% or more CO2 concentration. At this level, the patient is re-inhaling expired gases (or dead space gases) to increase the concentration of CO2 in the lungs of the user, which encourages the user to inhale deeper, thereby exercising the lung muscles to expand beyond their normal condition. The sensor and indicator 4 can be used to determine the CO2 level, or the length of the time the user has been using the device. After use, the indicator 4 holds the reading for a period of time, so that a caregiver who is temporarily absent can get a reading after the use cycle is completed. Eventually the indicator will reset by returning to its original color scheme, such that it can be used again. The device is compact and lightweight, and is thus very portable.
The device can also be configured with a temperature sensor 40, such as a thermochromic liquid crystals strip, available from Hallcrest Inc., Glenview Ill. The temperature sensor 40 is secured to the outside (or inside) of one of the chamber or user interface. A sensor can also be configured to measure the actual gas/air temperature inside the chamber. In one implementation, the temperature sensor 40 may utilize cholestric liquid crystals (CLC). The temperature of the CLC is initially at room temperature. As the user successively breathes (inhales/exhales) through the device, the CLC will expand and contract depending on the temperature. Depending on the temperature, the color of the indicator will change, which also is indicative of, and can be correlated with, the length of time the user has been breathing through the device.
In one embodiment, an analog product line is used, which exhibits a line that moves throughout the temperature cycle and provides a direct correlation to the elapsed time of use. The temperature indicator can be configured to provide for an indication of temperature at least in a range from room temperature to slightly below the body temperature of the user, e.g., 37 degrees centigrade. A secondary temporal (e.g., minute) indicator can be located adjacent to the temperature indicator to provide an indication of how long the user has been using the device, with the temperature being correlated with the elapsed time. Again, the indicator can be configured to hold a reading, and then reset for subsequent and repeated use.
The training device can be coupled to an aerosol delivery device (not shown), such as a nebulizer or metered dose inhaler, to deliver medication to the user through the chamber and patient interface. In this way, the device performs two (2) functions, (1) respiratory muscle endurance training and (2) treatment for respiratory ailments or diseases such as COPD or asthma. In one embodiment, the metered dose inhaler is engaged through an opening formed in the valve chamber 7.
The materials used to manufacture the device may be the same as those used to make the AEROCHAMBER holding chambers available from Trudell Medical International of London, Ontario, Canada, which chambers are disclosed in the patents referenced and incorporated by reference above. The diameter of the chambers 10, 2, 3 can range from between about 1 inch to about 6 inches. Although shown as cylindrical shapes, it should be understood that other cross-sectional shapes would also be suitable, including elliptical and rectangular shapes, although for devices also used for aerosol delivery, a cylindrical or elliptical shape is preferred to minimize impaction and loss of medication prior to reaching the patient.
An alternative embodiment of a respiratory muscle endurance training (RMET) system 50 is illustrated in
The housing 56 may be constructed from a polypropylene material or any of a number of other molded or formable materials. The housing may be manufactured in two halves 55, 57 that are friction fit together, glued, welded or connected using any of a number of know connection techniques. Also, the housing 56 may be fashioned in any of a number of shapes having a desired fixed volume. Hand rests 59, which may also be used as device resting pads, may be included on the housing 56. The bellows 58 may be manufactured from a silicone or other flexible material and connected with the housing 56 at a seal defined by a rim 62 on the housing 56 and a receiving groove 64 on the end of the bellows 58 that is sized to sealably grip the rim 62. In other embodiments, the bellows may be replaced with a balloon or other expandable body suitable for accommodating variable volumes. In the implementation of
As best shown in
The cap 74 on the bellows 58 defines a variable orifice 72 which may control the upper movement of the bellows 58 and define the final volume of the adjustable volume portion 60. The variable orifice 72 is set to allow excess exhaled gases to depart from the system to help prevent the patient from inhaling more than a desired percentage of the exhaled gases. In one embodiment, 60% of exhaled gases are desired for inhalation (rebreathing). In the RMET system 50 of
Referring to
In operation, a patient first exhales into the patient interface, which may be a mouthpiece 53, mask or other interface on the end of the corrugated tubing 52. Upon the subsequent inhalation, the patient will inhale expired gases located in the corrugated tubing 52, the fixed volume portion 54 and the adjustable volume portion 60, in addition to any additional fresh gas (such as ambient air) entering into the system through the variable orifice 72 on the flexible bellows 58. The amount of exhaled gases may be set to be approximately 60% of the maximum voluntarily ventilation (MVV). To calculate how the level of ventilation may be set to approximately 60% of MVV, one may multiply 35×FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in the first second). This results in the relationship of 60% MVV=0.6×35×FEV1. The dead space of the RMET system 50, in other words the amount of volume for holding exhaled gases, may be adjusted to 60% of the patient's inspiratory vital capacity (IVC). The breathing pattern of the patient must be set above the normal breaths per minute, which is generally 12 to 15 breaths per minute. A breathing pattern between 16 to 30 breaths per minute may be suitable depending on the patient. In the embodiments as described herein, the breathing pattern is preferably 20 breaths per minute. The embodiments as described herein may comprise a visual or audible indicator to assist the patient in establishing the desirable breathing pattern. For example, where the desired breathing pattern is 20 breaths per minute a visual indicator, such as a light, would flash on and off every 3 seconds prompting the patient to inhale every time the light is on or every time the light turns off. The visual or audible indicator could be located adjacent the volume reference member 66. Although a mouthpiece 53 may be directly connected with the housing 56 as shown in
Assuming that, on average, a COPD patient's IVC is approximately 3.3 liters, 60% of 3.3 liters is approximately 2 liters. To achieve this capacity with the RMET system 50, an accumulation of a fixed volume plus a variable volume is used. The fixed volume with a flexible tubing 52 (120 cc to 240 cc) plus a fixed volume portion 54 of 1600 cc defined by the housing 56, along with a bellows 58 adjustable between approximately 0 cc to 400 cc accounts for the 60% of the IVC. During exhalation, 40% of the expired volume of gases may be expelled through the variable orifice 72 in the bellows 58. During inhalation, the patient may inhale the exhaled volume of gases in the system 50 and inhale the remaining 40% of gases necessary to complete the IVC through the variable orifice 72 on the bellows 58. To adjust the volume of expired gases collected from the patient, it is possible to reduce the length of the corrugated tube and reduce the fixed volume of gas in the device.
The patient observes the movement of the indicator 70 against the scale 68 on the housing to determine that the 60% volume of the patient's IVC has been reached. A separate or integrated timing device (not shown), such as a mechanical or electronic timer emitting an audible and/or visible signal, can assist the patient to perform a breathing program at a sufficient rate of breaths per minute. It is contemplated that the initial setting of the RMET system 50 to 60% of a patient's specific IVC may be made by a caregiver. The caregiver or patient may, for example, use a pulmonary function machine to determine the patient's FEV1 which can then be used to calculate the patient's MVV and ultimately 60% of the IVC.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. As such, it is intended that the foregoing detailed description be regarded as illustrative rather than limiting and that it is the appended claims, including all equivalents thereof, which are intended to define the scope of the invention.

Will Amir Khan face Chris Algieri next?
Will welterweight Amir Khan face Chris Algieri next? According to the former junior welterweight titlist, we can expect an announcement soon.
Will welterweight Amir Khan face Chris Algieri next? According to the former junior welterweight titlist, we can expect an announcement soon.
Chris Algieri tells RingTV.com that he's hired John David Jackson to be his new head trainer and that he's looking to return to the ring against top-rated opponent, such as Adrien Broner or Amir Khan.
Though he says he has bigger fish to fry against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao first, Amir Khan insists he wants to challenge IBF welterweight titlist in an all-British clash.
Kell Brook easily swept aside Jo Jo Dan in Sheffield, England, on Saturday, and reiterated his challenge to Amir Khan to face him in a highly-anticipated all-British summer blockbuster.
Fans from both sides of The Pond share their thoughts on Kell Brook and wonder how the undefeated IBF welterweight titleholder would fare against Keith Thurman, if an all-British showdown with Amir Khan will ever happen, or if we're all getting a little carried away with his KO of Jo Jo Dan in this week's Monday mailbag.
Kell Brook defends his IBF welterweight title for the first time against Ionut Dan Ion on Saturday in his native Sheffield, England. The undefeated British standout is confident of victory, which he believes will lead to showdowns with the stars of the 147-pound division (but not Amir Khan).
So with a supposedly severe hike in pay coming with RING middleweight champion Miguel Cotto's new deal with Roc Nation Sports, does trainer Freddie Roach get a raise? And who's next on the Puerto Rican icon's radar?
At this point, British welterweight Amir Khan just wants to fight anyone, be it Floyd Mayweather Jr., Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto, Tim Bradley or Juan Manuel Marquez.
Fans share their thoughts on a variety of subjects — including the fear of an Al Haymon-run sport, missing Antonio Margarito, the Garcia-Peterson catchweight, the hateful back-and-forth between Mayweather/Pacquiao fans in the Disqus comments section, and mythical matchups — in this week's extra-long Monday mailbag.
Fans share their thoughts on the Canelo Alvarez-James Kirkland fight, potential super middleweight title matchups between the Dirrell brothers and James DeGale and George Groves, Premier Boxing Champions, mythical matchups and more in this week's Friday mailbag.
Manny Pacquiao could pursue a May 30 clash with Amir Khan if Floyd Mayweather Jr. does not sign to face him by the end of January, said the Filipino boxer's adviser, Michael Koncz.
Manny Pacquiao could pursue a fight against Amir Khan if Floyd Mayweather Jr. does not agree to face him by his end-of-the-month deadline, the Filipino icon's adviser, Michael Koncz, told RingTV.com on Tuesday.
IBF welterweight titlist Kell Brook will make his first defense on March 28 and will announce his opponent during a Thursday press conference in Sheffield, England.
Kell Brook, the undefeated IBF welterweight titleholder from Sheffield, England, tells The Telegraph's Gareth A Davies that he "cheated death" after machete attack in Tenerife in September, "now my destiny is to beat Amir Khan." Brook is ready to return to action.
Amir Khan recently sat down with RingTV's Dominic Verdin and discussed a variety of topics, including his return date, fighting at welterweight (and eventually junior middleweight), and how he believes he would perform against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao.
On Jan. 19, IBF welterweight titlist Kell Brook will announce who he will meet in March for the first defense of the belt he won from Shawn Porter.
The potential Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr. superfight could shut Amir Khan out in the cold for a year. The welterweight stars have reportedly agreed on Las Vegas as the site for their long-awaited meeting with progress being made on the other details that threaten to put Khan in limbo.
Amir Khan says he will pursue a showdown with Manny Pacquiao if Floyd Mayweather Jr. refuses to fight him this year. The British star is determined to set up a superfight in 2015 and claims he and Pacquiao could donate a purse percentage to charity.
Amir Khan has set highly ambitious goals in the ring for 2015.

Rugged Sweater for life -
By: Randhir from Queens, NY
Great sweater. Built to last a life time. Appropriate sizing. Couldn't be happier.
Good looking, warm sweater -
By: Gafrit
I ordered this sweater for an upcoming fishing trip to Alaska. The day that it arrived the local temperature got a bit cold so I was able to try it at home. It is a good looking, rugged sweater that looks like it will last for years even with rough treatment on a fishing trip. But it's good looking enough to wear to a casual restaurant or dinner party when the weather is cold.
Beautiful Sweater -
