Physical activity (PA) is a key health behavior in people with stroke including risk reduction of recurrent stroke. Despite the beneficial effects PA, many community-dwelling survivors are physically inactive. Information and communication technologies emerging as possible method to promote adherence PA.The aim this study investigate effectiveness mobile-health (mHealth) App improving levels PA.Forty-one chronic were randomized into an intervention group (IG) n=24 control (CG) n=17....

Abstract Background Heart rate variability (HRV) is an objective, non-invasive tool to assessing autonomic dysfunction in chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME). People with CFS/ME tend have lower HRV; however, the literature there are only a few previous studies (most of them inconclusive) on their association illness-related complaints. To address this issue, we assessed value different diurnal HRV parameters as potential biomarker and also investigated relationship...

We have evaluated the involvement of hepatic preconditioning mediators (adenosine, adenosine A1 and A2 receptors) during normothermic recirculation (NR) in a model liver transplantation from non-heart-beating donor (NHBD) pigs. Application NR after 20 min warm ischemia (WI) reversed lethal injury associated with NHBD livers (achieving 5-day survival diminishing glutathione S-transferase (GST), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) hyaluronic acid (HA)). Adenosine administration prior to WI...

Among adolescents, overweight, obesity and metabolic syndrome are rapidly increasing in recent years as a consequence of unhealthy palatable diets. Animal models diet-induced have been developed, but little is known about the behavioural patterns produced by consumption such The aim present study was to determine biochemical effects cafeteria diet fed juvenile male female rats, well evaluate possible recovery from these administering standard feeding during last week study. Two groups rats...

Seismocardiography is a simple and non invasive method of recording cardiac activity from the movements body caused by heart pumping. In this preliminary study we use smartphone to record acceleration estimate rate. We compare rate variability parameters seismocardiogram ECG reference signal. The results show great similarity are strongly influenced instability in sampling frequency device. differences between RR series lower than 10 ms.

Abstract This research assesses Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in a Spanish sample adolescent cancer survivors, and analyzes the relationship between HRQoL, coping styles physical exercise. Forty-two survivors (12–19 years), who were ≥ 1 year remission, completed standardized measures HRQoL (CHIP-AE), strategies (ACS) exercise (AECEF). Mean scores all domains within normative values. Multiple regression analysis revealed that productive related to higher whereas non-productive was...

Our aim is to demonstrate the usefulness of photoplethysmography (PPG) for analyzing heart rate variability (HRV) using a standard 5-min test at rest with paced breathing, comparing results real RR intervals and testing supine sitting positions. Simultaneous recordings R–R were conducted Polar system non-contact PPG, based on facial video recording 20 individuals. Data analysis editing performed individually designated software each instrument. Agreement HRV parameters was assessed...

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non-invasive health and fitness indicator, machine learning (ML) has emerged as powerful tool for analysing large HRV datasets. This study aims to identify athletic characteristics using the test ML algorithms. Two models were developed: Model 1 (M1) classified athletes non-athletes 856 observations from high-performance 494 non-athletes. 2 (M2) identified an individual soccer player within team based on 105 514 other members. Three algorithms applied...

Abstract Recent evidence has revealed the impact of exercise in alleviating anxiety and mood disorders; however, protocol that exerts such benefit is far from known. The current study was aimed to assess effects long-term moderate on behavioural coping strategies (active vs. passive) Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal response rats. Sprague-Dawley male female rats were exposed 32-weeks treadmill then tested for two-way active avoidance learning (shuttle-box). Two groups used as controls: a...
