Filter by:Tuberculosis is a chronic, necrotic infectious disease with very different clinical appearances, caused by a group of mycobacteria defined as M. tuberculosis complex. Although there is a vaccine and can be treated with combined medications, this health problem remains important all over the world, especially in poor countries. Generally, respiratory symptoms that occur in a person with tuberculosis include cough, phlegm, hemoptysis, chest pain, and shortness of breath for more than three weeks. If there is a partial obstruction in the bronchi due to the compression of enlarged lymph nodes, it causes a whezing sound accompanied by shortness of breath. In tuberculosis, contagion is brought under control with effective treatment by regular use of drugs. In addition, the symptoms of the patients are relieved until they recover. However, the fatigue of the patients may continue. The disease may continue. In addition to having an effect, fatigue may also occur due to the side effects of many tuberculosis drugs. Therefore, patients experiencing fatigue while taking tuberculosis drugs may cause them to become uncooperative in drug use, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, serious complications and higher treatment costs. Another method used in addition to the treatment of chronic respiratory system diseases such as tuberculosis is pulmonary rehabilitation.Pulmonary rehabilitation consists of patient education, psychosocial support, aerobic and strengthening breathing exercises and physical training programs. Among the breathing exercises that are considered to be one of the important components of pulmonary rehabilitation, pursed-lip breathing and diaphragmatic breathing exercises are frequently used in chronic respiratory system diseases. However, no study has been found examining the effects of pursed-lip breathing and diaphragmatic breathing exercises on fatigue in tuberculosis patients. Pursed-lip breathing technique ensures maximum emptying of the alveoli by providing controlled expiration, thus helping to reduce the respiratory rate by increasing the activity of the inspiratory and expiratory muscles, increasing gas exchange and tidal volume. During diaphragmatic breathing exercise, since the diaphragm muscle is used instead of accessory muscles, the respiratory load decreases, thus the ventilation level of the lungs increases and breathing is supported. It has been reported in the literature that the deep breathing technique is effective in controlling the emotional states of tuberculosis patients, and that deep breathing exercises applied to pulmonary TB patients are effective in reducing the respiratory rate. However, since no study was found in the literature review that evaluated the effect of breathing exercise applied to TB patients on fatigue, this study was planned to examine the effect of breathing exercise applied to patients diagnosed with TB on fatigue.
This project aims to identify the effect of a 3-week grand tour (e.g. Tour de France) on physiological markers and the blood proteome in world-class cyclists.
Chronic renal failure is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world and in our country. Hemodialysis is the most commonly used treatment method in the treatment of chronic renal failure. In addition to its important benefits, hemodialysis treatment causes many problems such as fatigue, bone and joint pain, insomnia, mood disorders, sexual problems, paresthesia and nausea. In addition, patient comfort is adversely affected due to physical, psychosocial and environmental problems in hemodialysis patients. Elimination of symptoms in hemodialysis patients and ensuring patient comfort are important components of quality nursing care. For this purpose, it is reported that non-pharmacological evidence-based approaches such as listening to music, yoga, and exercise are used in the literature. Although there are studies examining the effectiveness of listening to music, the number of studies examining the effectiveness of nature-based sounds in hemodialysis patients is quite limited. It is known that sounds such as bird, ocean, water, wind sound have beneficial effects on human health in terms of physiological and psychosocial aspects. This project is to determine the effect of listening to nature sounds during hemodialysis treatment on fatigue and patient comfort. Type of Study: The project was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study. Population and Sample: The population of the study consists of patients who are treated in the Hemodialysis Unit of Bartin State Hospital. The sample was taken as d=0.80 power=0.90, α=0.05 and β=0.20, taking into account the data obtained from a similar study, and it was calculated as 30 patients in the intervention group and 30 patients in the control group, in total 60 patients. Inclusion criteria for the study: - To be receiving hemodialysis treatment for at least 6 months, - Being over 18 years old, - Not having a hearing and speaking disability, - Not have a cognitive disability. Exclusion criteria from the study: - Receiving hemodialysis treatment for less than 6 months, - Do not listen to the nature-based audio application for 30 minutes - Being under the age of 18, - Hearing and speech impairment, - Having a cognitive disability.
The aim of this study is to investigate the differences in the severity of fatigue, impact on quality of life, and mood between individuals with post-polio syndrome and healthy volunteer groups. Additionally, the interrelationships of these parameters within the post-polio syndrome patient group will be examined. The goal is to raise awareness during the follow-up process for individuals with post-polio syndrome by questioning fatigue and mood symptoms, and to facilitate the implementation of necessary precautions.
In this study, the investigators are assessing the ability of Veillonella (Veillonella atypica FB0054) to decrease fatigue and increase energy in a heterogeneous cohort of healthy adults compared to placebo. Study subjects will fill out a baseline health and habit survey followed by daily and weekly surveys over a two week baseline period to understand their baseline habits, fatigue, and energy levels. After this, subjects will take one daily capsule orally of one of two doses of Veillonella or placebo for four weeks, while again filling out both daily and weekly surveys. Finally, there will be a two week washout period with no supplementation but only daily and weekly surveys. At the end of the study, there will be a final experience survey.
The aim of the present 3-month randomized, placebo-controlled trial was to evaluate whether adherence to Mediterranean Diet (MD) together with melatonin oral treatment or plaebo, would ameliorate Cancer Related Fatigue in Breast Cancer patients receiving chemotherapy treatment.
The goal of this experimental study is to compare 2 different seat cushions in B52 cockpit seats to see if they affect pilot fatigue and comfort. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the Kalogon AF Prototype seat cushion improve pilot comfort compared to the standard seat cushion? 2. Does the Kalogon AF Prototype seat cushion reduce pilot fatigue compared to the standard cushion? Participants will spend 8 hours in a simulated cockpit playing a flight simulator. They will fill out multiple questionnaires and take 2 attention/reaction time tests throughout the 8-hours.
During running, each contact between the foot and the ground causes an impact. Ground reaction forces (GRF) are considered as an input into the musculoskeletal system. It involves a sudden deceleration in the lower limb packages (including muscles) which generates Soft-Tissue Vibrations (STV). The body is able to attenuate Soft-Tissue Vibrations (STV) but this capability decreases with fatigue. STV could be minimize by improving shoe midsole hardness.
A randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial assessing the immediate impact of non-caffeinated supplements on energy levels and associated health outcomes
There are a limited number of studies in the literature, and it is stated that mental fatigue caused by social media use causes a decrease in upper-extremity movement speed and a decrease in lower-extremity endurance performance. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effects of social media-induced mental fatigue on upper extremity performance.
