Filter by:Type of study: Clinical Trial. Main objective: To study the effect of daily consumption of the probiotic (GI BIOTICS 100B UFC) on intestinal inflammatory markers, intestinal microbiota, intestinal health, body composition and sports performance in older adults for 8 weeks. Participant Population/Health Conditions: The study will involve 44 sedentary men with a body mass index > 25 kg/m2 and aged between 60 and 75 years. Participants Will: Be randomised into one of two groups: consumption of a placebo capsule (comparison group) and consumption of GI BIOTICS 100B UFC daily for a period of 8 weeks (experimental group). Provide feces and blood samples before and after the 8-week intervention. Undergo analysis of these samples using advanced techniques to understand the effect of the consumption of the probiotic. Undergo a submaximal stress test and muscle strength will be measured using a handgrip dynamometer.
Lymphedema is an inflammatory disease characterized by abnormal accumulation of excess water, plasma proteins, as well as extravascular blood and parenchymal cells in the affected upper and lower arms, chest and/or trunk due to inadequate lymphatic carrying capacity, associated with high-severity, recurrent soft tissue infections that can lead to sepsis and even death. It is a disease. Although there is no definitive treatment for lymphedema disease, a Complex Decongestive Treatment approach, including manual lymph drainage, skin care, special exercises, compression and self-care, has been defined to slow the progression of the disease and prevent secondary complications. In addition, similar to vagus nerve activation with manual lymphatic drainage, parasympathetic nerve activation has been defined. system activation can be increased. The aim of our study is to examine the effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation on quality of life, grip strength and dexterity in unilateral upper extremity lymphedema patients. It was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study. The population of the study will be lymphedema patients in Gaziosmanpaşa Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital, and the sample will be 27 volunteer patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study was planned as a single center (Gaziosmanpaşa Training and Research Hospital). Participants will be randomly divided into three groups. Subjects will be instructed to draw an envelope from a secret box. Each envelope will contain a yellow, red and blue card and they will be assigned to one of the 3 groups of the study accordingly. Only the Complex Decongestive Treatment (manual lymph drainage, skin care, special exercises, compression) approach will be applied to the first group, Complex Decongestive Treatment and sham transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation to the second group, and transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation in addition to Complex Decongestive Treatment to the third group. The third party who has access to the box containing the envelopes will not be involved in the study. The data collected from the patients will be entered into the SPSS 21.0 package program, a data set will be created and statistical analyzes will be performed.
