The workplace may provide an optimal setting reach a large proportion of the adult population needing exercise. This study evaluates effect implementing strength training at on non-specific neck and shoulder pain among industrial workers. Cluster-randomized controlled trial involving 537 adults from occupations with high prevalence (industrial production units)....

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect team sports and resistance training on physical function, psychological health, quality life, motivation in older untrained adults. Twenty-five men forty-seven women aged 80 (range: 67-93) years were recruited. Fifty-one assigned a group (TRG) which twenty-five performed (TG) twenty-six (RG). remaining twenty-one allocated control (CG). TRG trained for 1 hour twice week 12 weeks. Compared with CG, improved number arm curls within 30 seconds...

Purpose: The objective of this study is to investigate the effect three different workplace interventions on long-term compliance, muscle strength gains, and neck/shoulder pain in office workers. Methods: A 1-yr randomized controlled intervention trial was done with groups: specific resistance training (SRT, n = 180), all-round physical exercise (APE, 187), reference (REF, 182) general health counseling. Physical tests were performed questionnaires answered at pre-, mid-, postintervention....

Objective: To investigate the effect of two contrasting physical activity worksite interventions versus a reference intervention (REF) on various health outcomes. Methods: A 1-year randomized controlled trial was conducted with specific resistance training (SRT), all-round exercise (APE), and REF.

Background Specific strength training can reduce neck and shoulder pain in office workers, but the optimal combination of exercise frequency duration remains unknown. This study investigates how one weekly hour for muscles is most effectively distributed. Methods A total 447 workers with without and/or were randomly allocated at cluster-level to four groups; 1×60 (1WS), 3×20 (3WS) or 9×7 (9WS) min a week supervised high-intensity 20 weeks, reference group (REF). Primary outcome was...

We examined long‐term musculoskeletal and cardiac adaptations elicited by recreational football (FG, n =9) running (RG, =10) in untrained premenopausal women comparison with a control group (CG, =9). Training was performed for 16 months (∼2 weekly 1‐h sessions). For FG, right left ventricular end‐diastolic diameters were increased 24% 5% ( P <0.05), respectively, after months. Right systolic function measured tricuspid annular plane excursion (TAPSE) <0.05) FG 4 further (15% 32%,...

Objective. To investigate the effect of workplace neck/shoulder strength training with and without regular supervision on pain headache among office workers. Method. A 20-week cluster randomized controlled trial 351 workers was into three groups: two groups same total amount planned exercises times per week (1) (3WS) throughout intervention period, (2) minimal (3MS) only initially, (3) a reference group (REF). Main outcome is self-reported intensity in neck shoulder (scale 0–9) 0–10)....

This single-blind randomized controlled trial involved 40 adults (n = 40) from occupations with high prevalence musculoskeletal pain discomfort (mean age 44 years, body mass index 23 kg·m, 85% women). A blinded examiner took measures at baseline follow-up. Participants were randomly assigned group-doing swings 3 times week...

A total of 2,793 courses treatment with seven beta-lactam antibiotics were administered to 121 cystic fibrosis patients chronically infected Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the evaluated respect clinical hypersensitivity reactions. Seventy-five (62%) experienced 125 reactions, for an overall frequency (based on number courses) 4.5%. Immediate reactions occurred in 34 (28.1%) during 53 (1.9%). The highest rate involved piperacillin (50.9% patients), lowest imipenem aztreonam (4.0% 6.5% patients,...

Summary We have studied the effects of slow reacting substance anaphylaxis (SRS‐A) constituents leukotrienes (LT) C 4 and D on ciliary activity human respiratory cells. The beat frequency nasal cells harvested by cell scraping from inferior turbinate was measured in a blind design microphoto‐oscillographic technique. A total 740 ciliated seventy‐four scrapings were studied. Mean baseline 10.2 Hz. exhibited pronounced variability spontaneous changes between scrapings, yet less so within...

Specific strength training is shown to relieve neck pain in office workers. The purpose of this study evaluate the effectiveness specific women with severe and analyze dose-response relationship between adherence reduction. One hundred eighteen untrained (>30 mm VAS pain) were included from a larger study, which subjects randomized 20-week for neck/shoulders or control group. In intention-to-treat analysis, group experienced greater relief than (p < 0.01). Participants who adhered "per...

It has recently been shown that patients with Kartagener's triad and also some subjects similar symptoms, but without situs inversus, have a congenital abnormality of cilia as an explanation for their chronic airway symptoms; this disease named “the im-motile-cilia syndrome” or more correctly “primary ciliary dyskinesia”. Studying 27 such patients, we found daily nose blowings since birth, chronic-recurrent sinus itis, secretory otitis media highly characteris tic features. The frequency...
