Muscle power is one of the most important parameters in almost every athletic action, expressing the ability of the human muscle to produce great amounts of force with the greatest possible speed. For enhancing their muscle power, athletes comprise several resistance training programs as part of their training. However, muscle power training comprises of eccentric muscle actions, which, especially when unaccustomed, can lead to exercise-induced muscle damage and deterioration of muscle performance. Nevertheless, despite the fact that muscle power training comprises eccentric muscle actions, and consequently can lead to muscle injury and muscle performance reduction during the following days, the recovery kinetics after acute muscle power training have not been adequately studied. However, information regarding the recovery of the muscles after a power training protocol, is critical for the correct design of a training microcycle, and the reduction of injury risk. The aim of the present study is to investigate the muscle injury provoked after acute muscle power training using three different power training exercise protocols. Additionally, the effect of these protocols on muscle performance and neuromuscular fatigue indices will be examined.
The discovery of FGF23, the missing link in the long researched and finally found phosphate metabolism, marked a turning point in the understanding and physiopathology of specific hypophosphatemia. By inhibiting the renal reabsorption of phosphate and the production of calcitriol, FGF23 behaves like a hypophosphatemia hormone. Hypersecretion of FGF23 can occur in the case of genetic abnormalities (X-linked hypophosphatemic vitamin-resistant rickets, recessive or dominant hypophosphatemic rickets, McCune-Albright syndrome ...) or acquired abnormalities (oncogenic osteomalacia). Oncogenic osteomalacia can be induced by hyperproduction of FGF23 by benign tumours of mesenchymal origin. But more recently, several cases of malignant tumours secreting FGF23 have also been described (prostate, colon, breast, ovarian and lung cancers, pulmonary carcinoma, etc.)
This study is a prospective healthy human volunteer wear study to evaluate the safety and performance of the StatLock™ Catheter Stabilization Device and the StatLock™ stabilization device Accessory (Foam Strip) and to meet the design input requirements.
Since the severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) first emerged in Wuhan, China, on 12 December 2019, it has spread rapidly across the world and developed into a pandemic. The pandemic has affected over 100 countries and regions, with over 132 million confirmed cases of COVID-19. The rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 has caused considerable harm to public health and the economy. Alongside other laboratory tests and clinical findings of the COVID-19 infection, serological testing may be beneficial for epidemiological monitoring and outbreak control. The determination of antibodies enables confirmation of the SARS-CoV-2 infection in asymptomatic patients in addition to those with typical symptoms. In this study, we aimed to determine the SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence and the IgG antibody levels among healthcare workers who frequently encountered COVID-19 patients in our hospital.
A cross-sectional study will be conducted to report oral complications during chemo and radiotherapy treatment in case of patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer and the effect of theses oral side effects on patients' quality of life which will in turn allow the implication of preventive measures
Renal tubules play an important role in fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base homeostasis. Defect of these functions can give rise to a host of disorders. These disorders can lead to life threatening disturbances in electrolytes and acid-base balance. In Egypt, there is little data about these disorders. Many of these cases are diagnosed late, therefore Early suspicion for diagnosis can improve the overall clinical outcome of these children.
This is a prospective cohort study, observational, multicentre, single-arm, post-registration to assess the safety of the Adsorbed COVID-19 (Inactivated) Vaccine Sinovac / Institute Butantan.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) on postoperative pain, fatigue, and vital signs in patients with head and neck cancers.
The Lungpacer PROTECT Diaphragm Pacing Therapy System (DPTS) is a temporary, percutaneously-placed, transvenous, phrenic nerve-stimulating device intended to stimulate the diaphragm to preserve and improve inspiratory muscle strength in mechanically ventilated patients. The purpose of the PROTECT DPTS is to improve gas exchange, regional lung ventilation, and hemodynamics, and decrease atelectasis in patients presenting with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
