The RubusElite project is a multi-disciplinary project combining expertise in exercise science, nutrition, biochemistry, microbiology and food science across three institutions: University College Cork, Waterford Institute of Technology and Teagasc Food Research. This project has been funded by the Irish Department for Food, Agriculture and the Marines Food Institutional Research Measure (FIRM) initiative. The overarching aim of the RubusElite project is to provide an attractive, evidence-based performance and recovery food product for those undergoing frequent strenuous exercise in the form of a blackberry enriched, high protein dairy beverage. The process of developing this product will act as an exemplar model, providing best practice guidelines for the development of future functional foods in the performance nutrition space. This randomised controlled trial (RCT) will act as the ultimate test of efficacy of this functional food. It is envisaged that this RCT will assess the impact of a combined protein-polyphenol beverage on post-exercise recovery, exercise capacity, composition of the gut microbiome as well as central stress processing.
Peripheral neuropathy from paclitaxel is a cause for concern. This situation also affects the patient, family and healthcare professionals. All health personnel are responsible for its care. With this study, it will be possible to create evidence for nursing practices and increase the quality of life by relieving symptoms.
High frequency oscillations of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields range can heat deep tissues in a well-localized region. Recently, a new SWD-based model showed to be a promising tool for investigating muscle pain in humans. The main advantages of the model are its noninvasiveness, the ability to control stimulation parameters, and the convenience of the time frame in which pain and hyperalgesia are developed. This study assess the reliability of SWD pain model to induced transient and intensity-controlled muscle soreness on shoulder in healthy volunteers.
This experimental randomized, double-blind, and controlled study included fifteen young, healthy, and pain-free men and 15 age-matched women. It lasted for three visits with at least one-week washout. Pain was experimentally induced, twice at each visit, with intramuscular injections of 0.2 mL hypertonic saline (5%), before and after intake of one of the different chocolate-types; white (30% cocoa-content), milk (34% cocoa-content), dark (70% cocoa-content). Pain duration, pain area, peak pain, and pressure pain threshold were assessed every fifth minute after each injection, between the time-points 5 to 30 min. Prior to inclusion, all participants underwent an examination in a dental chair. This included a clinical examination of the orofacial region according to the Diagnostic Criteria for temporomandibular disorders (DC/TMD) by a blinded examiner. Participants were also examined regarding their psychosocial status prior to inclusion, this included depression, somatization, anxiety, pain catastrophizing and stress.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of neurodynamic mobilization (NM) technique on muscle damage and inflammation biomarkers, and pain, pressure pain threshold, range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, and functional status in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). In the study, 32 healthy sedentary male volunteers were randomly divided into two groups as NM (n = 16) and placebo-NM (n = 16). After the initial evaluation of the individuals, femoral nerve NM and placebo NM techniques were administered three sets a day with ten repetitions for three days a week for three weeks. Three days after the end of the applications, the second evaluations were made and the DOMS creation protocol for the quadriceps femoris (QF) muscle was initiated. In order to trigger DOMS in individuals, 30 sets and 10 repetitions of eccentric knee extension (35°-95° flexion angles, 30°/sec speed) were performed on the dominant lower extremity with an isokinetic dynamometer. Baseline evaluations were repeated immediately after the DOMS protocol, and at hours 24, 48, and 72. During evaluations, muscle damage (serum creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), myoglobin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase) and inflammation (interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10, interleukin-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and C reactive protein) biomarkers, pain (activity), pressure pain threshold, ROM, muscle strength (QF, hamstring eccentric/concentric) and performance (one-leg jump, vertical jump) parameters were measured.
smartphones have replaced most of the keypad phone products due to their small size and easy of portability. As a result, smartphone users experience an increase in musculoskeletal problems in the neck and shoulder. Therefore, the importance of exercise and proper training should be emphasized for people who are likely to develop postural deformities due to incorrect posture habits and daily living patterns
The aim of the study was to determine whether delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in trunk muscles has an effect on respiratory function parameters, respiratory muscle strength, respiratory muscle endurance, and exercise capacity.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is closely related to neuromuscular components. A problem occurring in any of these components or parts of the TMJ interferes with the harmonic functioning of the TMJ and invites temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD).Management of TMD can be conservative or surgical. Physiotherapy, local steam application, external muscle massage, occlusal adjustment, analgesic and physiotherapeutic medication and splint treatments are the most frequently recommended conservative treatments. Today, occlusal adjustments are made with the help of a prosthetic or orthodontic appliance. With these intraorally used occlusal splints, a balanced occlusal contact is achieved without applying any force to the mandible in the resting position. Occlusal splints are available in different designs and different construction materials. The stabilization splint, which is one of the most frequently used occlusal splints, and the modified Hawley splint are appliances produced from hard materials. However, some researchers have commented that soft splints produced from resilient materials may also be useful in the distribution of excessive force formed in parafunctional habits. While there are studies stating that hard splints provide more successful results than soft splints in functional problems of the chewing system, there are also studies reporting that they have similar efficacy on muscle pain after short-term use. However, there are no studies in the literature that compare their efficacy in short-term and long-term myalgia patients and demonstrate their efficacy using an objective test such as digital occlusion analysis. There was no study on the effectiveness of different splints on the patient's quality of life. It would be appropriate to carry out our study to fill this gap in the literature.The main purpose of this study is to digitally examine and compare the effects of three different treatment methods (medical therapy, medical therapy+soft splint, medical therapy +hard splint) applied to patients diagnosed with facial myalgia after temporomandibular joint examination on the existing occlusion changes.
Pain and trismus caused by Myalgia in masticatory muscles are one of the prime concerns for the patients. Various studies have been performed using US therapy for myofascial pain syndrome of head & neck region. US is a non-invasive frequently used physical agent which increase blood flow in tissues and collagen fibers ability to grow, & reduce muscle spasm with its thermal effect. It is difficult to imply the results of studies performed in muscles of other regions of body to the maxillofacial region because of the superficial placement of these muscles.US is being frequently used for myofascial pain, but there is an absence of a consensus regarding the frequency and mode of administration available in literature for administration of this therapy in maxillofacial region. Therefore, the present study has been designed to compare the therapeutic effect of two modes of US i.e., continuous and pulsed at 3 MHz frequency
