Whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) is a widely used method that exposes the body to extremely low temperatures induce physiological responses. While its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-edema effects are well-documented, of WBC on skin not yet fully understood. The aim this study was evaluate single session series 10 20 treatments selected biophysical properties in normal-weight overweight or obese subjects. Twenty-three volunteers took part study—12 group (SG, BMI > 27) 11 control (CG,...

Obesity is associated with chronic inflammation. While cold therapy influences the pro/antioxidative status of an individual, by affecting adipokine levels and lipid profile, effect body mass index (BMI) on response to exposure unclear. We analyzed link between BMI differences in effects whole-body stimulation, depending number treatments, specific physiological parameters men. Twenty-seven non-active men were divided into three groups: N (n = 9, < 24.9), IOb 30.0-34.9), IIOb (BMI ≥ 35.0)....

Microplastics have been widely used in cosmetics and, among other things, very often as an abrasive component peelings. This type of additive is not the main cause environmental microplastic contamination, but it can pose a significant threat to environment and people. Manufacturers are increasingly taking decision withdraw microplastics from cosmetics, replacing them with alternatives, this also happening because legal requirements. The European Chemicals Agency, 2019, presented proposal...

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable hematologic malignancy originating from clonal plasma cell proliferation within the bone marrow, predominantly affecting older individuals. While anemia serves as a diagnostic criterion for MM, it often ameliorates upon achieving disease remission. Iron metabolism parameters have emerged potential prognostic indicators in MM. Notably, physical exercise has been established to influence iron metabolism. This study aimed assess alterations serum iron,...

Multiple myeloma (MM) accounts for about 10 to 15% of all diagnosed hematologic malignancies and 1-2% cancer cases. Approximately 80-90% MM patients develop bone disease the changes rarely regress. It is only possible stop or slow their progression. A major role in destruction attributed Wnt signaling pathway, its action can be modified by various types interventions including training diet. Therefore, aim this project was evaluate effects a Nordic Walking (NW) cycle intermittent fasting...
