Study was conducted an online environment. We included people aged 18 to 50 years self-reported pain lasting > three months assessed Pain-Related Catastrophizing Thoughts Kinesiophobia. used intraclass correlation coefficient, standard error measurement, minimum detectable change, Cronbach's alpha...

Abstract Background The association between plasma lipids, nitric oxide (NO) and cardiovascular risk has been well documented in the literature, however, these outcomes heart rate variability (HRV) COVID-19 remains incipient as there is no scientific evidence that investigated this outcome. Objective Investigate whether metabolic may be associated with cardiac autonomic behavior arising from short-term HRV variables non-hospitalized mild post-COVID individuals. Methods This a cross-sectional...

Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted 117 children, aged 8–11 years, from public schools São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil, March December 2019. questionnaire demographic socioeconomic questions, aspects related bruxism, deleterious oral habits answered by parents. The children underwent clinical examination then Childhood Stress Scale Autoquestionnaire Qualité de Vie Enfant...

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The Problem Areas in Diabetes scale (PAID) is used to measure emotional distress levels related diabetes mellitus (DM). However, consensus on its internal structure lacking. OBJECTIVES: To compare the different structures of PAID and propose a shortened version for Brazilian patients with diabetes. DESIGN AND SETTING: Structural criterion validity study. METHODS: We included type 1 DM (DM1) 2 (DM2) this In accordance international recommendations, we assessed structural...

Background: This study aimed to determine whether morbidly obese women have an alteration of heart rate (HR) kinetics and HR variability (HRV) during the 6-min walk test (6MWT) if aerobic exercise training can modify these indexes after gastric bypass surgery (GBS). Design methods: Nineteen were randomized a trained (TG) or control group 12 eutrophic (EG) also evaluated. The tested on two occasions: 1 week before 4 months GBS through record R-R intervals 6MWT for analysis kinetics. TG...

The aim of this study was to assess the effects resistance training on ladders (RTL) MMP₋₂ expression and blood lactate concentration [La−]. 30 male (3 months age), albino rats were divided into 3 groups: sedentary control (SC, n=10), low exercise (Low-IntRT, n=10) high-intensive (High-IntRT, n=10). Animals High-IntRT submitted a progressively increasing overload in relation body weight until exhaustion, while Low-IntRT group performed same regimen with no external load. program...

Concurrent aerobic and resistance training (CART) programs have been widely recommended as an important strategy to improve physiologic functional performance in patients with chronic diseases. However, the impact of a personalized CART program type 2 diabetes (T2D) requires investigation. Therefore, primary aim current study is investigate on metabolic profile, glycemic control, exercise capacity diabetes. We evaluated 41 subjects T2D (15 females 19 males, 50.8 ± 7 years); were randomized...

This study aimed to compare the flexural strength, surface roughness, and microhardness of a resin for three-dimensional (3D) printing conventional composite evaluate whether orientation influences these properties. To resistance, test specimens were produced divided into four groups: three groups resins 3D with inclinations 0°, 45°, 90° one group resin. Forty discs subjected sandpaper-polishing sequence, roughness was measured using meter. The Vickers (HV) performed at different points,...

Myostatin (MSTN) has been implicated in metabolic adaptation to physiological stimuli, such as physical exercise, which is linked improved glucose homeostasis. The aim of the present study was evaluate influence exercise on expression MSTN, MSTN receptors (ActRIIB and ALK4) follistatin (FS) muscle fat streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Control rats were randomly assigned a swimming training group (EC ED, respectively) sedentary (SC SD, respectively). Exercising animals swam for 45 min at...

This study aims to compare heart rate variability (HRV) between patients with chronic neck pain and low back correlate the variables indices.This is a cross-sectional study. We divided sample into two groups: (n=30) (n=30). used Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Neck Disability Index, Roland-Morris Questionnaire, Pain-Related Catastrophizing Thoughts Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, Self-Efficacy Questionnaire. For analysis, we following indices: mean RR, standard deviation all RR intervals, rate,...

Abstract Background Delirium is an underdiagnosed condition and this may be related, among other causes, to the incorrect use of assessment tools due lack knowledge about cognitive training care team. The aim study was investigate difficulties encountered by nursing team in application Confusion Assessment Method for Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) patients on mechanical ventilation. Methods This descriptive with a qualitative approach private tertiary hospital located northeast Brazil. Data...

Functional tests are important clinical tools, since they non-invasive methods, with simple applicability, and low cost. However, there few adapted for individuals chronic back pain. Thus, our objective was to evaluate the test-retest inter-rater reliability of 2-Minute Step Test in pain correlate test score measures physical activity.We included patients aged between 18 45 years, both sexes, The interval retest 7 days. We analyzed data via intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC),...
