Filter by:Intervention in the form of a PA (physical activity) program combining aerobic, resistance, and flexibility exercises adapted for wearing a lower limb offloading device and limiting weight-bearing on the feet, with a duration of twelve (12) weeks, consisting of two supervised sessions and one unsupervised home session per week.
This is a randomized controlled human exposure crossover study, aims to explore the health benefits of indoor plants on cardiopulmonary system on adults.
The goal of this research is to test interventions to reduce firefighter cardiovascular, cognitive, and overall disease risks, including but not limited to risks associated with Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances (PFAS) exposure. Approximately 1,500 - 2,000 firefighters will be enrolled in the Fire Fighter Cancer Cohort Study (FFCCS). Among these individuals, those that express interest will then be screened for eligibility for the Firefighter Collaborative Research Project (FCRP) using information they provided for the Fire Fighter Cancer Cohort Study. Firefighters enrolled in the study will provide an initial blood sample and urine sample. The blood sample will be analyzed to determine the participant's PFAS levels. Based upon serum PFAS levels and responses from the screening survey, eligible participants will be randomly assigned into one of the following interventions: 1. Blood Donation, or Plasma Donation or Blood/Plasma Control Group; 2. Zone 2 Training or Zone 2 Control; 3. Intermittent Fasting or Intermittent Fasting Control. Individuals participating in the blood donation, plasma donation or blood/plasma control group would donate blood every 12 weeks, plasma every 6 weeks, or not donate blood or plasma. Participants in this intervention arm would continue this for a 12-month period. Individuals in the zone 2 training, zone 2 training control, intermittent fasting or intermittent fasting control group would participate in their intervention or control for a 4-month period. After 4 to 12 months participating in an intervention or control group, participants will be asked to provide a final urine sample and blood draw to determine if and to what degree their PFAS levels or other cardiovascular disease and other health risks have changed.
The purpose of this RETROSPECTIVE study was to compare the effect of a hospital and home-based cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (CPR) program on exercise endurance and quality of life in post-acute COVID-19 patients. 88 post-acute COVID-19 patients were divided two groups according to receiving hospital (n=45) or home-based CPR (n=43)in our rehabilitation clinic between January and July 2021. Both protocols consisted of aerobic, breathing and flexibility exercises. Hospital-based CPR: three or four days per week for a total of 20 sessions. Home-based CPR: three or four days/a week over a period of six weeks. The results of six meters walk test (6MWT) for exercise endurance as a main outcome measure, and Borg-dyspnea/fatigue, the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and the Short Form-36 (SF-36) as secondary outcome measures before and after treatment were recorded.
In this single-center, randomized controlled trial, patients (4-8 months) with CHD were randomly assigned to either a recovery group (home-based rehab exercise periodically) supervised by cellphone APP or to a control group. Left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF), the rate of increase in heart rate (rHRI), and the rate of recovery heart rate (rHRR) were measured for representing cardiopulmonary capacity. The Alberta test and Neuro-intelligence Scale were used to evaluate their motor developmental outcomes. This study verified the feasibility of this rehab method and indicated that 6-month home-based exercise training can improve cardiopulmonary endurance and motor developmental level in infant CHD patients.
To determine the validity of the K5 metabolic system breath-by-breath analysis setting during a high intensity treadmill running protocol compared to the criterion ParvoMedics TrueOne® 2400 automated metabolic gas analysis system. To determine the test-retest reliability of the K5 metabolic system breath-by-breath analyzer during a high intensity treadmill protocol (Bruce Protocol).
To describe the primary and secondary outcomes of athletes during a Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPET) on a cycle ergometer with and without a face mask.
There is currently a lack of evidence to support the use of perioperative point-of-care ultrasound to assess the outcomes in high risk surgical patients. Thus, the purposes of this study were to evaluate whether perioperative use of point-of-care ultrasound can reduce the worse postoperative outcomes in high surgical patients.
Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is perceived as the optimal method of providing and maintaining a clear and secure airway. The 2010 European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines emphasized the importance of minimal interruption during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). These guidelines also suggest that skilled operators should be able to secure the airway without interrupting chest compression. The aim of the study was to compare time and success rates of different available video laryngoscopes and the Miller laryngoscope for emergency intubation during simulated pediatric CPR.
The purpose of this study is to test the possible neuroprotective effect of early high dose erythropoietin alpha after out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
