Filter by:An association of fatigue with post-viral neuropsychological disturbs has been reported. Among patients hospitalized with COVID-19 there is an increased incidence of anxiety and depression symptoms. In addition, a quarter of patients experience at least mild symptoms of acute post traumatic stress disorder. (Mazza, M. G. et al 2020). The prevalence of chronic fatigue syndrome had a correlation with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a study conducted after the outbreak of the COVID-19 in Iran (Silmani et al, 2021), that showed 5.8% of subjects suffering from PTSD after 6 months of SARS-CoV-2 infection onset. In this Study we propose to use a tool to quantify the degree of physical and psychological fatigue in post-COVID-19 patients, and assess the correlation of fatigue with the neuropsychiatric sequelae in hospitalized and non hospitalized patients.
The research will be the first to examine the relationship between mental fatigue induced by motor imagery and upper extremity performance. This study, it is aimed to examine whether the effects of mental fatigue created by motor imagery on upper extremity performance can be reduced by diaphragmatic breathing exercises.
Mindfulness, seemingly a simple concept, research shows that the impact of mindfulness on the overall wellness of an individual can be helpful (5). Research supports that mindfulness leads to reduced stress, enhanced performance, better focus, and improved approach (7). Areas of mindfulnessare mindful eating,movement and meditation. Application of mindfulness tools in these areas can be beneficial to health outcomes and to create a happier more efficient work environment (9). Mindful eating shows to improve diet quality and attitudes toward food and eating. Individuals better understand physical hunger/fullness cues, improve nutrient density, weight control,digestion,systolic blood pressure, and stress(2). Disordered eating behaviors have also shown to improve(3). Mindless eating, such as eating while being on the phone, driving, or watching television can have the opposite effect and can be linked to more emotional hunger cues. Combining mindful eating with diet therapy can lead to healthier food choices and a more positive feeling towards eating and body image, reducing stress and improving the overall wellness of an individual (4). Aspire's experience shows that aspects of teacher's wellness is worsening with ,media reporting more and more employees resigning from their positions every day (wccb,2021). Teachers have voiced their need for more support with their wellbeing. As a result, Aspire Nutrition is targeting school employees through a newly developed mindfulness program titled Nourish Carolina. This program will be focused on improving the overall wellness of participants Participants are enrolled in the study for 12 weeks. All participants will have weekly nutritional counseling and bi-weekly mental health counseling. Study group will have nutrition and mental health counseling with mindfulness activities and control group will receive nutrition and mental health sessions without mindfulness activities. There is a program curriculum so that mental health and nutrition mindfulness activities compliment eachother The mindfulness lessons for study group are divided into 6 nutrition and 6 mental health sessions,for 15 minutes during the session. Positive outcomes could include improved workplace performance as a result of enhancing school employees overall wellness and quality of life by reducing stress levels, improving diet quality, and improving mental health.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of the Alpinia galanga formulation, Theacrine formulation, and Caffeine formulation on fatigue, mental acuity, and cognitive health among overall healthy participants
The investigators postulate that there is a difference in the acquisition of Fundamental Laparoscopic Skills (FLS) between general surgical and Obstetrics & Gynaecology (O&G) trainees. This discrepancy is also likely to influence the musculoskeletal and cognitive fatigue trainees experience within both specialties. Additionally there is likely to be a discrepancy in the expectations of consultants and trainees on skills perceived to be important at the completion of training (CCT). This study aims to compare and evaluate the discrepancy in FLS acquisition amongst O&G and GS trainees in order to identify areas for improvements in the training pathway, the associated fatigue experience and highlight the expectations perceived to be required at the completion of training.
Introduction Both Mental Fatigue (MF) and hypoxia impair multiple aspects of cognitive functioning. The decline in cognitive functioning in hypoxic conditions is associated with alterations in brain oxygenation and hemodynamic responses. These hemodynamic responses are preferably measured at the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain that is known for its executive function and role in decision making, planning, attention and (short-term) memory. This study will investigate the role of prefrontal cortex oxygenation during the development of mental fatigue and during cognitive performances by altering the ambient oxygen availability through normobaric hypoxia (3800m; 12,9% O2) and normoxia. Methods Subjects will perform four trials in a sound-insulated climate chamber (20°C and 40% RH). Upon entry in the climatic chamber participants will adapt to the environment for 30 minutes. Next, they will perform a modified cognitive test battery "cognition", a fine motor task "Motor Performance Series" and a visuomotor-fitlight task before and after a 60-minute individualized Stroop task or control task (randomized. blinded, placebo controlled, counter-balanced, cross-over design). Nearinfrared spectroscopy (NIRS) will be used to assess hemodynamic changes (oxygenated hemoglobin (O2Hb), deoxygenated-hemoglobin (HHb) and total hemoglobin (tHb)) at the PFC. Hypotheses 1) MF will lead to earlier changes in the prefrontal NIRS-parameters (O2Hb, HHb, tHb) with lower oxygen availability. 2) The effects of MF on cognitive performance manifest itself to a greater extent with lower oxygen availability.3) Visuomotor performance declines to a greater extent due to MF with lower oxygen availability.
This study aims to examine the relationship among cognitive fatigue, self-regulation, and academic performance.
This study aims to examine the effects of cognitive fatigue on heart rate variability and skin conductance and develop a machine learning model.
This study aims to examine whether listening to natural sounds in a noisy (traffic) environment compared to traffic noise only impacts behavioural, cognitive, affective, and physiological markers associated with attention restoration. Attention restoration will be examined as an aspect of cognitive fatigue.
The primary aim of this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study is to assess the short-term cognitive effects of two beverages containing 100 and 300 mg coffeeberry extract (obtained from the fruit of the coffee plant (Coffea arabica) compared to a placebo beverage. The trial will utilise the COMPASS cognitive assessment system and cognitive demand battery (CDB) and mood visual analogue scales (VAS) with assessments taking place at baseline, 60- and 120-minutes post treatment, on four separate testing days separated by 7 days. A treatment containing 75 mg caffeine will be used as a positive control to document participants' responsiveness to an established psychostimulant.
