Individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) often experience cognitive declines. Although pharmacologic therapies are helpful in treating motor deficits PD, they do not appear to be effective for complications. Acute bouts of moderate aerobic exercise have been shown improve function healthy adults. However, individuals PD difficulty exercise. This study examined the effects passive leg cycling on executive PD. Executive was assessed Trail-Making Test (TMT) A and B before after cycling....

<h3>Background</h3> Exercise immunology has become a growing field in the past 20 years, with an emphasis on understanding how different forms of exercise affect immune function. Mechanistic studies are beginning to shed light may impair development cancer or be used augment treatment. The beneficial effects system exploited improve patient responses immunotherapy. <h3>Methods</h3> We investigated acute composition peripheral blood leukocytes over time male population varying fitness....

Aging is associated with a fall in maximal aerobic capacity as well decline lean body mass. The purpose of the study was to investigate influence aging on relationship between and mass subjects that chronically train both their upper lower bodies. Eleven older rowers (58±5 yrs) 11 younger (27±4 participated study. Prior VO2max testing, underwent dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scan estimate total Subsequently, quantified during exercise test rowing ergometer semi-recumbent cycle ergometer....

Chemical fertilizers have greatly contributed to the development of agriculture, but alternative are needed for sustainable agriculture. 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO) is a promising biological plant growth promoter.In this study, we attempted develop an effective strategy production highly pure R,R-2,3-butanediol (R,R-2,3-BDO) by Paenibacillus polymyxa fermentation. First, gamma-ray mutagenesis was performed obtain P. MDBDO, strain that grew faster than parent and had high R,R-2,3-BDO. The...

Both inflammation and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are associated with the risk of respiratory infections. To clarify hypothesis that CRF attenuates incident pneumonia due to inflammation, we conducted a prospective study examining independent joint associations on in population sample 2041 middle-aged men.Cardiorespiratory was directly measured as peak oxygen uptake (V˙o2peak) during progressive exercise testing volitional fatigue, categorized into tertiles. Inflammation defined by...

The apoptotic effect of bacteria-derived beta-glucan was investigated in human colon cancer cells SNU-C4 using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) expressions Bcl-2, Bax, and Caspase-3 genes, assay caspase-3 enzyme activity. beta-Glucan 10, 50, 100 microg/mL decreased cell viability a dose-dependent manner with typical characteristics, such as morphological changes chromatin...

Background: Previous studies have shown that single bouts of high-rate active cycling (> 80 rpm) improve upper extremity motor function in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). It is unknown if passive leg produces a similar effect on function. This article examines whether can promote immediate changes tremor and bradykinesia PD pedaling rates variable effects. Methods: Twenty mild-to-moderate idiopathic completed 4 sessions, each session taking place 1 week apart. In the second to...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can lead to pulmonary dysfunction that is associated with inflammation. Moreover, little known regarding the therapeutic role of exercise training on pathophysiology in NAFLD. The present study aimed investigate effect high-fat high-carbohydrate (HFHC)-induced C57BL/6 mice.Male mice (N = 40) were fed a standard Chow (n 20) or an HFHC diet for 15 weeks. After 8 weeks dietary treatment, they further assigned 4 subgroups remaining 7 weeks: 10), plus...

Abstract This case study investigated the impact of SCS on alterations in blood pressure during constant‐load exercise a female patient with heart failure. Three different frequencies [ No (~0 Hz), Low (~100 and High (~1000 Hz)] without ischaemic stimulation legs (cuffs) were randomly applied exercise. To determine cardiovascular ventilatory responses to following frequencies, BP, rate (HR), respiratory gas exchange measured. experiment was duplicated visit 1 2 random application frequency...

In the cold, Purdue Pegboard (PP) performance declines. The purpose of this study was to determine if cold-induced impairment is consistent across days (i.e. test-retest reliability) in 5°C. thermoneutral air (25°C), 14 men were familiarised dominant hand (PPa) and bimanual (PPb) PP tasks. They then experienced two 90-min cold exposures (Day 1, Day 2) while wearing ∼1 clo. Bare hands maintained throughout. Performance on both tasks showed high reliability from day (intraclass correlations...

Purpose: Regulation of blood pressure (BP) is important in reducing the risk for cardiovascular disease. There growing interest non-pharmacological methods to treat BP including a novel approach using pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF). PEMF has been proposed impact physiological function at cellular and tissue level one possible mechanism through an on endothelial nitric oxide (NO) related pathways. The focus present study was evaluate effect NO subjects with mild moderate...

Background Exercise intolerance, obesity, and low hemoglobin (hemoglobin&lt;13 &lt;12 g/dl, men/women, respectively) are common features of heart failure. Despite serving as potent contributors to metabolic dysfunction, the impact obesity on exercise intolerance is unknown. This study tested hypotheses, compared with non-obese (NO) failure normal hemoglobin, (a) counterparts or non-obesity will demonstrate reduced peak oxygen uptake; (b) obese decreased (c) across stratifications, sharpest...

Abstract The present study investigated the impact of 12 weeks pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy on peripheral vascular function, blood pressure (BP), and nitric oxide in hypertensive individuals. Thirty individuals (SBP &gt; 130 mm Hg and/or MAP 100 Hg) were assigned to either PEMF group (n = 15) or control 15). During pre‐assessment, participants underwent measures flow‐mediated dilation (FMD), BP, draw for (NO). Subsequently, they received 3x/day and, at conclusion, returned...
