<b>Objectives:</b> Gait and mobility problems are difficult to treat in people with Parkinson’s disease. The Rehabilitation Disease: Strategies for Cueing (RESCUE) trial investigated the effects of a home physiotherapy programme based on rhythmical cueing gait gait-related activity. <b>Methods:</b> A single-blind randomised crossover was set up, including 153 patients disease aged between 41 80 years Hoehn Yahr stage II–IV. Subjects allocated early intervention (n = 76) received 3-week using...
Salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) concentration increased significantly after subjects viewed a humorous videotape and did not change they didactic videotape. Scores on questionnaire measuring the perceived use of humor as coping skill were positively related to initial IgA inversely changes in subjects' viewing videotape, which implies ceiling effect. Enhancement immune system may be one link between anecdotal claims relationships an individual's being positive emotional state healing.

Background. Turning has been associated with instability, falls, and freezing in people Parkinson’s disease (PD). Objective. To investigate the effect of different modalities rhythmic cueing on duration a functional turn freezers nonfreezers. Methods. A total 133 patients idiopathic PD while phase medication cycle participated this study as part subanalysis from RESCUE trial. The 3 cue turning performance was investigated, involving 180° picking up tray. Time to perform task measured using...
Abstract The impact of dual tasks on gait in Parkinson's disease (PD) reveals lack automaticity and increased cognitive demands. We explored which characteristics explained walking speed with without task interference if they reflected the demands task. In 130 people PD, performance was quantified home using accelerometers allowing estimates single (difference between task). Multiple regression analysis used to explore effect 12 representing four domains (personal, motor symptoms, cognitive,...
Climate change could irreversibly modify Southern Ocean ecosystems. Marine ecosystem model (MEM) ensembles can assist policy making by projecting future changes and allowing the evaluation assessment of alternative management approaches. However, projected in total consumer biomass from Fisheries Ecosystem Model Intercomparison Project (FishMIP) global MEM ensemble highlight an uncertain for Ocean, indicating need a region-specific ensemble. A large source uncertainty originates Earth system...
Enterobacter cloacae attached to drinking water distribution particles was subjected chlorination. Attachment resulted in the protection of these organisms from disinfection. This effect found be dependent upon both level chlorine system and attachment time. The results obtained this study indicate that may play an important role coliform outbreaks.
Abstract Background: Independence of certain gait characteristics from dopamine replacement therapies highlights its complex pathophysiology in Parkinson's disease (PD). We explored the effect two different cue strategies on relation to their response dopaminergic medications. Patients and Methods: Fifty people with PD (age 69.22 ± 6.6 years) were studied. Participants walked without cues presented a randomized order. Cue were: (1) internal (attention increase step length) (2) external...
Abstract Physical behavior changes in Parkinson's disease (PD), however, objective evidence of this is lacking. This study explored methods to objectively quantify sedentary (SB) advanced PD with the aim identifying that could impact on burden disease. We compared SB 17 (UPDRS III 29.1 ± 5.5; duration 12.5 6.4; H&Y (3 & 4) and aged gender matched healthy subjects. was measured over a 7 day period using activPAL accelerometer. defined as sitting or lying described terms volume pattern...
Background. Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) are encouraged to stay active maintain their mobility. Ambulatory activity monitoring (AM) provides an objective way determine type and amount of gait-related daily activities. Objective . To investigate the effects a home cueing training program on functional walking in PD. Methods. In single-blind, randomized crossover trial, PD patients allocated early intervention received for 3 weeks, whereas late group following weeks. Training was...
Background: Falls are a frequent and serious problem for older adults, especially those living with Parkinson's. The relationship between falls physical activity is complex, people often restrict following fall. Exercise an important aspect of reducing further risk fall key component the management aim this study was to understand types they engaged in, environments in which take place, experience without Parkinson's who have fallen. Method: Seventeen thirteen adults had experienced at least...
Abstract Background Crohn’s disease (CD) is a lifelong condition that poses unique challenges. This study reports findings from person’s perspective of living with CD to help enhance the understanding an individual’s specific care and support needs. Methods Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted convenience sample adults recruited Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Data analysed after data collection using thematic analysis. Results Forty-one (68% female) participants...
The passive sinking flux of particles, termed the biological gravitational pump (BGP), is an important component ocean’s carbon pump. In addition, carbon-rich particles are actively injected to depth through diel vertical migration (DVM) micronekton and mesozooplankton from surface oceans’ twilight zone (200 m – 1000 depth). This known as mesopelagic-migrant (MMP). We investigated magnitude MMP at one subantarctic two polar sites in summer by assessing particulate dissolved export below 200...
There is a growing need to support the health and well-being of retired adults. Some evidence suggests that retirement transition can provide an opportunity for public initiatives (Heaven et al., 2016). However, increase effectiveness potential interventions, more holistic models acknowledge complexity process are needed. The aim present study was gain in-depth understanding adjustment explore key components successful adaptation by examining lived experiences A qualitative research design...
Helicobacter pylori was detected using molecular methods in untreated well water. The presence of H. the wells correlated with infection consumers and Escherichia coli, indicating fecal contamination. Consumption water should be considered a risk factor for infection.
The marine diatom Thallasiosira pseudonanna (3H) and several bacteria associated with it were isolated from batch cultures at the University of Delaware mariculture facility. interaction between algae each was investigated. One isolates, T827/2B (Pseudomonas sp.), incapable surviving in f/2 culture medium unless present. When grown together medium, bacterial growth stimulated algal inhibited. Bacterial filtrate had a similar effect on algae, indicating that is an indirect one most likely...
