Filter by:Respiratory muscle training represents an effective method increasingly utilized in both sports and healthcare domains, employing various devices, among which threshold devices are prominent. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between inspiratory muscle fatigue and muscular strength in lower limbs, in both healthy and pathological subjects, as well as the association between such fatigue and other variables, including maximal inspiratory pressure and muscle tissue oxygen levels. According to our hypothesis, the execution of a protocol inducing inspiratory muscle fatigue in healthy youngs could influence muscular strength, exercise capacity and muscle tissue oxygenation. In this study, subjects will be divided into three groups: experimental group , activation group and control group. Measurements of variables, such as maximal inspiratory pressure, peripheral muscle tissue oxygen levels, diaphragmatic strength (ultrasound image) and vertical jump performance, will be conducted.
Nurses working in surgical intensive care units face numerous health and safety stressors. The introduction of new health technologies, medical devices (such as bedside monitors, pump and perfuser devices, and mechanical ventilators), and changing health environments have contributed to increased work stress among nurses. This, in turn, has had negative effects on their physical and mental health outcomes. One of the hazards associated with medical devices is alarm fatigue. Noise pollution caused by bells, beeps, and horns in intensive care units can lead to alarm fatigue, defined as desensitisation to monitor alarms. Nurses are particularly susceptible to this due to their constant exposure to these sounds, which can also cause stress. Occupational stress is a recognised issue in this demanding field, characterised by disproportionate workloads and negative effects on performance.Work-related stress can lead to a loss of compassion towards patients and an increase in malpractice, negatively affecting the quality of care. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the impact of applying emotional freedom techniques on work-related stress and alarm fatigue experienced by nurses working in surgical intensive care units.
This study aims to advance the scientific understanding and potential future implementation of physical activity promotion by testing the efficacy of a phone-based app for increasing activity in insufficiently active patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Respiratory muscle training represents an effective method increasingly utilized in both sports and healthcare domains, employing various devices, among which threshold devices are prominent. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between inspiratory muscle fatigue and maximal inspiratory pressure, diaphragmatic strength (guided by ultrasound image) and heart rate variability. According to our hypothesis, the execution of a protocol inducing inspiratory muscle fatigue in older adults could influence cardiorespiratory function. In this study, subjects will be divided into three groups: the experimental group , the activation group and the control group. Measurements of variables, such as maximal inspiratory pressure, heart rate variability and diaphragmatic strength (ultrasound image), will be conducted.
Respiratory muscle training represents an effective method increasingly utilized in both sports and healthcare domains, employing various devices, among which threshold devices are prominent. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between diaphragmatic fatigue and muscular strength in upper and lower limbs, in both healthy and pathological subjects, as well as the association between such fatigue and other variables, including maximal inspiratory pressure, functionality and muscle tissue oxygen levels. According to our hypothesis, the execution of a protocol inducing diaphragmatic fatigue in older adults could influence muscular strength, cardiorespiratory function, exercise capacity, and muscle tissue oxygenation. In this study, subjects will be divided into three groups: the experimental group , the activation group and the control group. Measurements of variables, such as maximal inspiratory pressure, peripheral muscle tissue oxygen levels, diaphragmatic strength (ultrasound image) and functional capacity, will be conducted.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common medical complications of pregnancy. GDM, which is in the high-risk pregnancy category, causes fatigue during pregnancy due to both hormonal changes and pregnancy complications (1). Fatigue is a general complaint that occurs in almost all physical and mental diseases. Fatigue also negatively affects an individual's well-being, daily performance, activities of daily living (ADLs) and relationships. Fatigue is one of the symptoms that, if not controlled, negatively affects the individual's daily living activities and quality of life (2). While breathing itself is a way of relaxation, it is also a part of all relaxation exercises and is an exercise that can be used in daily life. Breathing correctly and deeply is the first step in learning to relax. (3). It is important to identify fatigue, minimize it, plan daily living activities and improve quality of life in patients with GDM. This study will be conducted as a randomized controlled study to determine the fatigue and quality of life of diaphragmatic breathing exercises, one of the non-pharmacological methods, on pregnant women with gestational diabetes.
The purpose of this observational study is to understand and evaluate the physiological, psychological, and cognitive impact of 15 consecutive days of air search and rescue mission deployments on Portuguese Air Force crews. The main goals are: 1) Characterize and compare the body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, and strength levels of air force search and rescue mission crew members with different tasks; 2) Characterize the physiological, psychological and cognitive impacts induced by a single deployment; 3) Identify possible cumulative effects of successive deployments on the variables of interest; 3) Characterize the changes in lifestyle, quality of sleep and nutrition induced by the deployments. The participants will be evaluated after a period of hollidays, before missions, during missions, upon arrival, for a period of twelve months, and at the end of twelve months.
This interventional study aims to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of Cognitive multi-sensory rehabilitation (CMR) on upper limb function and fatigue in chronic stroke patients. The main question is: • Does cognitive multi-sensory rehabilitation significantly affect upper limb function and fatigue in stroke patients? Participants will be assigned into two groups. They will receive 12 sessions of study group CMR and traditional physical therapy and control group traditional physical Therapy rehabilitation. CMR 40 minutes immediately followed by 20 minutes of selected physical therapy program, three sessions per week for four weeks.
The objective of this multicenter randomized controlled trial is to compare a 6-month exercise and nutrition intervention (intervention group, IG) aimed at maintaining or improving physical functioning and quality of life with usual care (control group, CG) in ovarian cancer patients. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can an exercise and nutrition program improve physical performance during and after active treatment for ovarian cancer? Participants of the IG will undergo: - Weeks 1-18: approximately 15-30 minutes of daily exercise (cardio, resistance, and balance exercises); nutritional counseling focusing on malnutrition (protein-energy malnutrition). - Weeks 19-25: More intense daily training; nutritional counseling focusing on the Mediterranean diet. The study design includes 3 survey time points: - Baseline: After surgery and before starting chemotherapy - T1: After chemotherapy (week 19) - T2: After intervention (week 26) The primary outcome is: • 6-minute walk test, 6 months after enrollment (T2)
This is a single-center, proof-of-concept pilot study which uses a cross-over design to compare two dietary interventions/treatments: Western Diet (WD) vs Mediterranean (MD) and impact on quality-of-life parameters in AIH. Participants will receive both treatments through two phases and will be divided into two groups.
