Abstract This study investigated the effects of two different doses caffeine on endurance cycle time trial performance in male athletes. Using a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind crossover design, sixteen well-trained and familiarised cyclists (Mean ± s: Age = 32.6 8.3 years; Body mass 78.5 6.0 kg; Height 180.9 5.5 cm [Vdot]O2peak 60.4 4.1 ml · kg−1 min−1) completed three experimental trials, following training dietary standardisation. Participants ingested either placebo, or 3 6...
BACKGROUNDTelemedicine is defined as the delivery of health services via remote communication and technology.It a convenient cost-effective method intervention, which has shown to be successful in improving glyceamic control for type 2 diabetes patients.The utility intervention vital reduce disease complications, hospital admissions associated economic costs. AIMTo evaluate effects telemedicine interventions on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic (DBP), body mass...
In this study, we investigated the impact of a controlled 4-day caffeine withdrawal period on effect an acute dose endurance exercise performance. Twelve well-trained and familiarized male cyclists, who were consumers (from coffee range other sources), recruited for study. A double-blind placebo-controlled cross-over design was employed, involving four experimental trials. Participants abstained from dietary sources 4 days before trials ingested capsules (one in morning one afternoon)...
Abstract During angiogenesis, Rho-GTPases influence endothelial cell migration and cell–cell adhesion; however it is not known whether they control formation of vessel lumens, which are essential for blood flow. Here, using an organotypic system that recapitulates distinct stages VEGF-dependent we show lumen requires early cytoskeletal remodelling lateral contacts, mediated through the RAC1 guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) DOCK4 (dedicator cytokinesis 4). signalling necessary...
This study aimed to determine whether 1) consumption of caffeine improves endurance cycling performance in women and 2) sex differences exist the magnitude ergogenic plasma responses supplementation.Twenty-seven (11 16 men) endurance-trained cyclists triathletes participated this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study. Participants completed an incremental exercise test exhaustion, two familiarization trials, trials. Ninety minutes before participants ingested opaque...
Pulmonary drug delivery does not only provide non-invasive therapy for local lung diseases but also remarkably enhances systemic absorption of therapeutics owing to the tremendous surface area and fast transport active molecules across respiratory epithelia. In comparison traditional systems, electrohydrodynamic atomisation (EHDA) is superior in terms size production rate control high charges resulting particles prohibit its use delivery. To overcome this challenge, we developed an in-flight...
This study investigated the effects of a low and moderate caffeine dose on exogenous CHO oxidation endurance-exercise performance.Nine trained familiarized male cyclists (mean +/- SD: 29.4 4.5 yr, 81.3 10.8 kg body weight [BW], 183.8 8.2 cm, V O2peak = 61.7 4.8 mL.kg.min) undertook three trials, with training high diet being controlled. One hour before exercise, subjects ingested capsules containing placebo 1.5 or 3 mg.kg BW using double-blind administration protocol. Trials consisted 120...
Many university students report anxiety and low confidence when undertaking research courses. In the field, healthcare professionals have further identified that new graduates lack basic skills. The aims were to (1) ascertain what concepts deemed challenging inform development of a gamified resource (named OGRE) (2) determine if influenced students’ attitudes, confidence, knowledge. Adopting mixed-method approach, four student group interviews conducted pre- post-course surveys embedded in...
Abstract Background Existing evidence underscores inappropriate antimicrobial prescribing and use in the community setting. Increased are major factors contributing to emergence transmission of resistance (AMR). Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programmes critical for mitigating AMR, enhancing patient outcomes, reducing healthcare costs. Despite existing Australian National Action Plan on optimisation setting remains inadequately investigated. This study explored health professionals’...
Abstract Internationally, hospital pharmacy support staff, assistants, and technicians can become credentialled for extended roles, yet opportunities are limited in Australia. Increasing need training more responsive to the setting could be addressed via flexible, portable courses micro‐credentials promote rapid skill development without compromising productivity. This study aimed explore feasibility of collaborative co‐production a micro‐credential an staff role. Hospital clinicians...
Infection after ACL reconstruction is uncommon but catastrophic. Prophylactic graft saturation in vancomycin reportedly reduces infection rates.We characterized elution from soaked tendons. Specifically, the effect of rinsing was studied. We also determined how concentration soak solution and tendon dimension influenced this rate, examined whether amount released lower than osteoblast chondroblast toxic concentrations.Bovine tendons were wrapped sterile gauze swabs presoaked with 5-, 2.5-,...
Combining an exercise and nutritional intervention is arguably the optimal method of creating energy imbalance for weight loss. This study sought to determine whether combining caffeine supplementation was more effective promoting acute deficits manipulations substrate metabolism than alone. Fourteen recreationally active participants (mean ± SD body mass index: 22.7 2.6 kg/m2) completed a resting control trial (CON), placebo (EX), (EX+CAF, 2 × 3 mg/kg 90 min before 30 after exercise) in...
