Filter by:The study aimed at detection of autonomic dysfunction among cases with temporal lobe epilepsy; using different electrophysiological techniques. Moreover, it aimed at finding any correlation between electrophysiological tests and SUDEP risk.
Conclusions: In the context of palmar and plantar hyperhidrosis, extended thoracoscopic sympathectomy seemed to be preferred over limited thoracoscopic sympathectomy due to better overall outcomes and minimal time for hospital stays and Compensatory hyperhidrosis.
Introduction: Most cardiovascular diseases (CVD) can be prevented and controlled by adopting lifestyle changes, such as regular physical exercise and nutrition. Resveratrol and beverage extract promote beneficial health effects due to their nutritional properties. Objective: to analyze the effects of resveratrol supplementation and withdrawal extract on post-exercise recovery in coronary heart disease patients. Methods: men diagnosed with ischemic coronary artery disease will undergo four exercise protocols consisting of 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on an ergometric treadmill, with 5 minutes of warm-up, intensity of 30% of the heart rate reserve (HRR), followed by 25 minutes at intensity 60% of FCR and for a final 30 minutes of recovery in the supine position. Before each exercise protocol, all volunteers will consume: 500 mg of placebo (starch), or 500 mg of beetroot, or 500 mg of resveratrol and will also consume resveratrol and drink (500 mg each) 30 minutes before exercise. , the order of each supplementation will be done randomly. Cardiorespiratory parameters and heart rate variability (HRV) will be assessed at different times throughout the experimental procedure. To analyze the moments (rest versus recovery), the Bonferroni post-test will be used for parametric distribution or the Dunn post-test for non-parametric distribution. Statistical significance will be calculated at 5% for all analyses.
People diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease (PD) exhibit a combination of motor and non-motor symptoms, with the latter posing challenges in terms of identification and management. These non-motor symptoms tend to manifest before the motor symptoms and progressively worsen over time, significantly impacting the symptoms and everyday life activities of those affected. However, there remains a noticeable lack of scientific literature addressing the assessment and rehabilitation of cardiovascular dysautonomia in PD patients. Thus, our research aims to address this gap by pursuing the following objectives: 1) assess the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effectiveness of a hybrid telerehabilitation program designed to target cardiovascular health in individuals with Parkinson's disease; and 2) characterize cardiovascular dysautonomia using non-invasive measurements of cardiovascular and autonomic nervous system (ANS) function and self-reported symptom assessments.
High velocity low amplitude thrust applied at the vertebral level during spinal manipulation is thought to slide the vertebrae over each other and alter segmental biomechanics.
An assessment of the effectiveness of Stellate Ganglion Block in alleviating symptoms of Long COVID-19.
The aim of this study is to increase parasympathetic activity and decrease the severity of symptoms by providing vagal stimulation with the t-VNS method in order to suppress the increased sympathetic activity in patients with prolonged Covid symptoms.The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Question 1:Is left ear transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation effective in suppressing the symptoms of patients in Post Covid syndrome? Question 2:Is bilateral auricular transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation effective in suppressing the symptoms of patients in Post Covid syndrome? A 5-minute heart rate variability measurement will be performed to measure the effectiveness of vagus nerve stimulation in participants.HRV is a non-invasive method used to evaluate ANS activity and is a measure of heart rate change over a period of time
The current pilot study will recruit participants experiencing new, returning, or ongoing symptoms related to COVID-19 illness for at least four weeks after being first infected with SARS-CoV-2. All participants will attend a virtual 6-week course entitled Mindful Awareness Practices (MAPs) created, hosted and led by expert facilitators from the Mindful Awareness Research Center (MARC) at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). This intervention will consist of a mix of lecture, practice, group feedback, and discussion regarding mindfulness. Mindfulness is the mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present while acknowledging and accepting any feelings, thoughts, or bodily sensations. The research team will collect self-reported measures of mental health symptoms, physical health symptoms, and demographic information before and after participants attend MAPs. Objective health measures will also be collected by the research team including an active stand test, a 6-minute walk, and a blood sample.
This study finds the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle threshold loading training among adults with hypertension. A sample of hypertensive subjects was divided into two groups - inspiratory muscle training (IMT) - group (inspiratory muscle training was prescribed) and sham-group (no load was prescribed during IMT). Both groups had training sessions comprising seven cycles of two minutes bouts of breathing counter to an inspiratory load, each bout parted by one minute of unloaded recovery. Treatment session was performed for three times per week for a total of six weeks. Measurement of each of the variables (blood pressure, resting heart rate (RHR), heart rate variability (HRV)) was taken at baseline and after the six-week intervention.
Post-Covid syndrome is defined as symptoms that develop in addition to respiratory symptoms in individuals who have had Covid-19 infection for more than 12 weeks. Symptoms such as fatigue, headache, cognitive impairment, dyspnea, heart palpitations, heat intolerance, digestive system disorders, sleep disorders, dermal problems, orthostatic intolerance come to the fore in individuals with post-Covid syndrome. It has been tried to be revealed in some studies that Covid-19 infection affects the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the relationship between Post-Covid 19 syndrome and ANS dysfunction. Heart rate variability (HRV) measurement method can be used to evaluate ANS activity. HRV is a non-invasive method and is a measure of the change in heart rate over a period of time. HRV is a scalar quantity that shows the time between two beats of the heart and defines the oscillations between the R-R intervals. In HRV measurements, time-dependent and frequency-dependent measurement results are obtained and from these measurements, time-dependent RMSSD (square root of the square of the difference of the R-R intervals) and frequency-dependent high-frequency (HF) and low frequency (LF) measurement components are used in relation to the sympathetic nervous system (CNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PSS). HRV can be measured in short-term (5 minutes) in terms of measurement time. The aim of this study is to clearly reveal the relationship between Post-Covid 19 syndrome and ANS dysfunction and to provide standardization related to HRV measurement method and sub-parameters.
