Abstract Background The capacity to change attention from one area another depending on the many environmental circumstances present is a crucial aspect of selective and strictly correlated reaction time. cholinergic system basal forebrain for attentive abilities. Several inputs, particularly orexin neurons, whose cell bodies are found in postero-lateral hypothalamus, can activate system. aim this study was investigate if high frequencies rTMS at dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) highly...
Abstract Introduction It is widely demonstrated that high frequency (HF) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has facilitative effects and therefore capable to inducing changes in motor responses. One of the most investigated areas dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) as it plays a special executive attention role actively preserving access stimulus representations objectives environments with plenty distraction such those team sports. Volleyball sport which coordination...
Purpose. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been largely used to investigate adaptive changes in human motor cortex, and understand how networks the brain build optimize programs responsible for coordination of muscle activity involved complex learning. Karate represents a valuable model effects training on corticospinal system excitability, because it requires high level coordination. The aim this study was examine possible resting threshold (rMT) response karate athletes, if...
Sleep and migraine share a common pathophysiological substrate, although the underlying mechanisms are unknown. The serotonergic orexinergic systems both involved in regulation of sleep/wake cycle, numerous studies show that etiopathogenesis. These two anatomically functionally interconnected. Our hypothesis is dysfunction projections on median raphe (MR) nuclei, interfering with regulation, may cause Non-Rapid Eye Movement parasomnias, such as somnambulism.Acting neurons would lead to...
Aims: In women's life, menopause is characterized by significant physiological changes often associated with an increase in body weight and obesity-related diseases. Many studies have been carried out to determine interdependencies of estrogen depletion, aging, resting energy expenditure (REE) decline menopause-related obesity. Methodology: this study, we measured the composition, REE, oxidative stress, food intake, activity autonomic nervous system three groups: pre-menopause women (n=50),...
Obesity and lifestyle-related diseases are major problems faced by people in developed nations. Although exercise training prevents the progression of diabetes obesity, motivation for is generally low obese animals humans. The autonomic nervous system (SNA) plays a crucial role regulation eating behavior. Moreover, SNA involved body temperature that strictly related to weight control, accordance with "thermoregulatory hypothesis" food intake. Some neuronal peptides hormones, like orexins...
Background: After long-term intensive training, considerable morphological and functional heart changes occur in professional athletes. Such arise progressively regress upon interruption of the physical activity. Morphological alterations on are known as "Athlete's heart" condition. Objective: This study aims to compare echocardiographic parameters two different groups Furthermore, a prospective is performed analyzing occurring 12 players 3 years follow-up. Materials Methods: 78 football...
Abstract Background Lung cancer is a pathology with an important incidence. It multifactorial disease characterized by epigenetic and nutritional factors. Indeed, there strong association between adipose tissue the pulmonary system, low‐grade inflammation of obese and/or overweight subjects have pivotal role in lung establishment. Methods In this study, we analyzed body composition through bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) biochemical parameters such as glycemic lipidic profile, profile...
Aerobic exercise can greatly assist in reducing collateral effects of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Moreover, aerobic is associated with sympathetic activation and adaptive responses to sustain muscle engagement, changes the release Orexin A, a pleiotropic neuropeptide.The aim this study was analyze beneficial without dietary changes, cohort MetS subjects, focusing on role orexinergic activity. Several blood parameters linked ROS production, heart rate, galvanic skin response, d-ROM test, A...
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a significant transformation in field of telehealth and telemedicine, as systems have improved meet increased demand for remote healthcare services. Many ordinary technologies equipped facilitate normal relationship between patients specialists. These were put into action short period time, creating gap limits common special needs telemedicine patients. Furthermore, focusing lens on sports terms nutrition, we see that research demonstrates...
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common cause of male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) that can reduce quality life. Even if several drugs be used in its treatment, the development adverse drug reactions (ADRs) represents most low adherence. In present study, we evaluate both efficacy and safety new nutrient fixed combination Pollen Extract plus Teupolioside, named Xipag®, patients with LUTS. We conduct pilot single center open label clinical study between 1 March 2020 30 June BPH...
In this prospective randomized observational study we investigate the effect of adjuvant anastrozole in monotherapy or associated with risedronate on bone physiology and quality life postmenopausal, hormone-sensitive early breast cancer women at mild to moderate risk fragility fractures. Methods: 84 were randomly assigned receive alone (group A) plus oral A+R). At baseline after 24 months lumbar spine (LS) femoral neck (FN) BMD evaluated dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry health-related...
