Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the possible benefits of peanut butter consumption prior to bedtime on sleep and energy levels among fire fighters. Fire fighters require high levels of energy to perform their occupational tasks but commonly lack sleep as well as the amount of dietary protein and fat suggested for tactical athletes. By addressing this gap, we expect that if peanut butter consumption is shown to improve sleep and/or energy, this lifestyle change (peanut butter consumption) may be appealing to fire fighters because of the ease and low cost of peanut butter. Aim 1: Determine if consuming peanut butter prior to bedtime alters measures of sleep quality and quantity in fire fighters. It is hypothesized that firefighters who consume the peanut butter will have positive impacts in measure of sleep quality and energy levels. Aim 2: Examine the effects of peanut butter consumption on morning and evening energy levels
Background: Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are considered two of the most prevalent metabolic diseases linked to the onset of knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. Regular exercise has been documented as a principal component of a prevention, management, and treatment strategy for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients. However, evidence-based exercise protocols for individuals with comorbidities such as obesity, T2DM, and KOA are scarce. Thus, the present pragmatic randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a 12-week home-based circuit training (HBCT) protocol on various indicators related to KOA and cardiometabolic health among overweight/obese older adult patients with KOA and T2DM during the COVID-19 lockdown. Methods: Seventy overweight or obese patients with KOA and T2DM (62.2 ± 6.1 years; 56% female) were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n = 35, HBCT) or the no-exercise control group (n = 35, CON). HBCT performed a progressive protocol (seven exercises; 15-30 repetitions per exercise, 1 min passive rest between exercises; 2-4 rounds per session; 20-60 min total session duration). The knee injury and osteoarthritis symptoms, cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors, cardiorespiratory fitness, and renal function were assessed at baseline and following the 12-week intervention. Results: HBCT significantly improved HBCT improved the vast majority of outcomes related to cardiometabolic health and knee osteoarthritis symptoms compared to CON (p<0.05). No significant differences were detected in total bilirubin, sodium, urea, resting heart rate, or KOOS-sport between HBCT and CON. Conclusion: These findings suggest that an injury-free HBCT program may improve several cardiometabolic health- and KOA-related indices in overweight/obese patients with T2DM and KOA. Such results may encourage clinicians and practitioners to adopt real-world exercise training approaches when prescribing physical exercise to patients characterized by impaired metabolic and musculoskeletal health.
Esophageal Doppler Monitoring (Deltex CardioQ Esophageal Doppler Monitor, ODM) is used to manage patients' fluid therapy by non-invasively measuring continuous cardiac output with an esophageal probe. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of patient position changes on cardiac indices and vital signs in patients who underwent major abdominal cancer surgery with laparoscopic and open surgery using ODM.
In this study, the effect of music on arterial blood pressure, anxiety level, fetal heart rate and maternal-fetal attachment in pregnant women with gestational hypertension will be studied and it will be conducted as a randomized controlled intervention study to examine the relationships with each other. The sample group will consist of 90 pregnant women, 45 in the intervention group and 45 in the control group. Within the scope of the study, the data will be collected using the 'Personal Information Form, State-Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI TX-I)', Maternal-Fetal Attachment Scale (MFA) created by the researcher, and the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of each patient will be measured with a calibrated sphygmomanometer (the same sphygmomanometer was used for each patient), fetal heart rate (FHR) and fetal movements (FM) will be measured by Electronic Fetal Monitoring and Nonstress test (NST). Data will be analyzed using SPSS-25 package.
The purpose of this study is to verify the accuracy of the blood pressure cuffs with blood pressure monitor device. Cuff circumference is 13.5cm-19.5cm.
Background: In the management of hypertension lifestyle changes are recommended along with pharmacological treatment. Aims: This randomized controlled intervention study aimed to compare the effects of a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and a salt-free diet on blood pressure in hypertension patients. Methods: This study was conducted with 60 patients with primary hypertension. One group (n=30) was given an individualized DASH diet, the other group was given a salt-free diet (n=30), and the participants were followed for two months. The patients' blood pressures were monitored daily throughout the study, and their biochemical parameters were monitored at the beginning of the study, in the first and second months.
Introduction: Most cardiovascular diseases (CVD) can be prevented and controlled by adopting lifestyle changes, such as regular physical exercise and nutrition. Resveratrol and beverage extract promote beneficial health effects due to their nutritional properties. Objective: to analyze the effects of resveratrol supplementation and withdrawal extract on post-exercise recovery in coronary heart disease patients. Methods: men diagnosed with ischemic coronary artery disease will undergo four exercise protocols consisting of 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on an ergometric treadmill, with 5 minutes of warm-up, intensity of 30% of the heart rate reserve (HRR), followed by 25 minutes at intensity 60% of FCR and for a final 30 minutes of recovery in the supine position. Before each exercise protocol, all volunteers will consume: 500 mg of placebo (starch), or 500 mg of beetroot, or 500 mg of resveratrol and will also consume resveratrol and drink (500 mg each) 30 minutes before exercise. , the order of each supplementation will be done randomly. Cardiorespiratory parameters and heart rate variability (HRV) will be assessed at different times throughout the experimental procedure. To analyze the moments (rest versus recovery), the Bonferroni post-test will be used for parametric distribution or the Dunn post-test for non-parametric distribution. Statistical significance will be calculated at 5% for all analyses.
The purpose of this study is to verify the accuracy of the 4 blood pressure cuffs with blood pressure monitor device. Cuff circumference is : 15cm-24cm, 20cm-34cm, 30cm-44cm, 22cm-42cm
The purpose of this study is to verify the accurancy of the blood pressure monitor device. Cuff size of arm circumference: 13.5cm- 22cm.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of short-term L-Citrulline on central and peripheral blood pressure in healthy older adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does L-citrulline favorably affect blood pressure at rest and during exercise? - Does L-citrulline favorably affect arterial stiffness? - Does L-citrulline favorably affect muscle oxygenation at rest and during exercise? Participants will be asked to consume L-citrulline and a placebo for six days and participate in the evaluation of their blood pressure, arterial stiffness, and muscle oxygenation before and after each intervention. Researchers will compare L-citrulline and placebo groups to examine whether L-citrulline supplementation affects the above health parameters.
