<b>About</b><b>half of post-COVID-19 patients had severe impairments in physical functioning and during activities daily living at discharge home, providing a clear rationale to study the safety efficacy rehabilitative interventions these patients</b>https://bit.ly/3hJvXJa
In hospitalized patients recovering from the SARS-coronavirus-2 disease 19 (COVID-19), high prevalence of muscle weakness and physical performance impairment has been observed.
A large European multicentric cohort study has been coordinated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer with objectives of investigating dose-response relationship between liver cancer and exposure to vinyl chloride assessing risk sites other than liver. nearly threefold increase in was detected basis 24 observed deaths 8.4 expected (standardized mortality ratio 286, 95% confidence interval 186-425). The excess from clearly related time since first exposure, duration employment,...
Background: As Barthel Index (BI) quantifies motor impairment but not breathlessness, the use of only this index could underestimate disability in chronic respiratory disease (CRD). To our knowledge, no study evaluates both and CRD during activities daily living (ADLs) simultaneously with a unique tool. The objective was to propose for patients an additional tool dyspnea assessment ADLs based on BI items named dyspnea. Methods: Comprehensibility, reliability, internal consistency, validity,...
Background This study aimed to determine the effect of moderate high-intensity aerobic and breathing exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness health-related Quality Life (QoL) in post-discharge COVID-19 patients. The included two groups participants.
A cohort mortality study was conducted to evaluate the cancer risk of workers employed by National Institute Health in Rome, Italy. Cancer evaluated for research staff. deficit overall found men, but not women. Elevated (albeit statistically nonsignificant) standardized ratios were pancreas (men 155, women 236), brain 159), lympho- and reticulosarcomas 233, 512), lymphatic hematopoietic tumors (women 623). In addition had a significantly elevated breast (288). Although most these results,...
