Filter by:This research will be carried out in order to reveal how the discharge education that will be formed in line with the Roy Adaptation Model for oncological palliative care patients and caregivers will affect the nutritional outcomes, quality of life and adaptation difficulties of the patients, coping and adaptation processes of caregivers, their quality of life and their level of knowledge about nutritional care.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the marginal adaptationو shade matching and patient satisfaction of polychromatic feldspathic porcelain laminate veneer compared to hybrid ceramic multi-color laminate veneer.
This qualitative study with quantitative elements examines the health care provided to women who suffered from mental disorder during pregnancy and / or in the first year after birth (i.e. during the perinatal phase). Investigators will perform individual interviews with former PMD patients, and health and social care professionals to gain insights into current health care for PMD patients.
Athletes, especially in endurance sports, are at increased risk of oxidative stress and inflammation-related diseases and injuries. The production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) and inflammatory markers increase during exercise and especially during altitude training. Antioxidant supplementation is commonly used among athletes in the belief that it prevents oxidative stress and oxidative damage. A transient increase of RONS is however necessary to activate signaling cascades initiating training adaptation. Antioxidant supplementation has been shown to inhibit the exercise effects in several independent studies, possibly by interfering/reducing the signal cascades initiated by RONS. However, it is unknown whether a high intake of antioxidant rich foods can affect the amount of RONS, inflammation markers and/or training adaptation. The investigators want to examine whether an increased intake of natural antioxidants in the form of antioxidant-rich foods fruits, vegetables and berries, in line with the official Norwegian dietary advice can affect antioxidant status, immune function and training adaptation associated with altitude training in Norwegian elite athletes.
The long-term goal of this research is to advance the investigators knowledge of how the brain combines the information of multiple sensory systems coding for spatial oriention and how adaptation to vestibular imbalance influences spatial orientation. In healthy human subjects verticality perception is accurate while upright. After prolonged roll-tilt, humans show a systematic bias in perceived direction towards the previous roll-tilted position (so-called "post-tilt bias"). This effect could either be related to adaptation to the roll-tilted position (shifting the "null" position) or it could be related to changes in torsional eye position due to prolonged static roll-tilt (ocular counter-roll). While in the first case a post-tilt bias is predicted independently of the experimental paradigm used, the second hypothesis predicts a post-tilt bias only if retinal cues are integrated. In order to evaluate these hypotheses, the investigators will assess perceived vertical using both vision-dependent and vision-independent paradigms.
A one-year intervention study of 41 healthy elderly men aged 65-75-years.Of these, 24 subjects are untrained men with no regular training activity for the last 5 years. After medical screening and pre-testing, they will be randomized into a football group (n=9), a strength-training group (n=9) or a sedentary control group (n=6). Additional 17 subjects are recruited from local football clubs and have been active football players for the last 40 years. Training will be performed 3x1 hour per week and evaluation will take place after 0, 3 and 12 months. Primary endpoints will be changes in cardiac and vascular structure and function measured by advanced echocardiography (tissue Doppler and speckle tracking imaging), and peripheral arterial tonometry (Endo--‐PAT device). Secondary endpoints will be evaluation of potential changes in VO2 max, blood pressure, muscle capillaries, lipid profile, circulating catecholamines, body composition, and insulin resistance.
