Persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) MS commonly experience muscle weakness and fatigue which may contribute to the commonly reported symptomatic fatigue. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) induced with light in the visible red to near infrared (VIS/NIR) region of the spectrum (600-1000 nm) can
In elite soccer, players are frequently required to play consecutive matches interspersed by 3 days and complete physical performance recovery may not be achieved. Incomplete recovery might result in underperformance and injury. During congested schedules, recovery strategies are therefore required
Rationale, Objectives and Significance A recent study has shown that low intensity Near Infrared (NIR) light at 810 nm applied before exercise results in an increase in performance and decrease in oxidative stress and muscle damage (1). Another study by the same group with 830 nm light showed a
Background: Phototherapy is a therapeutic resource of increasing use in the last decade. The photobiomodulatory effects are produced by sources of low-level lasers or light- emitting diode (LEDT), and their tissue effects are equivalent. The application of this therapeutic resource brings ergogenic
Specific Aim 1: To investigate the physiological significance of lifestyle intervention in preparation for pregnancy (LIPP) on maternal and neonatal metabolism and adiposity.
Introduction/Rationale: Our preliminary data demonstrate that supervised lifestyle intervention leads to significant weight
A pathophysiological role for inflammation in schizophrenia has been one of the more enduring findings in the field. Recently, increased understanding of complex interactions between inflammation and the brain in other chronic diseases has better informed this relationship in schizophrenia. Several
Currently, the age-related health problems are increasing their importance markedly due to the increased elderly population. These problems produce the great socio-economic burdens of country. In addition, the quality of both the elderly and their families are also decreased. Therefore, the
Low-level light therapy constitutes a novel intervention shown to regulate neuronal function in cell cultures, animal models, and clinical conditions. The Gonzalez-Lima lab has previously shown that low-level light therapy can increase mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase activity, which can provide
After identification and trial entry, we will complete intake questionnaire to determine what type of vestibular migraine category the patients qualify for, a standard of care office visit with history and physical (Standard of Care) to review symptoms and previous treatment, patients height and
Background:
Ascites is a frequent complication of cirrhosis, occurring in 50% of patients and is associated with 50 % mortality in two years.
Bacterial infections in patients with cirrhosis are frequent during hospitalization and is an important precipitating event for the development of renal
This project will investigate the acute effects on human cognitive behaviour and mood of a single consumption of 2 berryfruit drinks (with balanced polyphenol content) versus a placebo. Drinks are matched for taste, sugar content and appearance. Drinks contain natural berry fruit grown and juiced or
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is the most common hospital discharge diagnosis in elderly patients . Fatigue and dyspnea with exercise intolerance and a poor quality of life are the main characteristics of this syndrome , and it is associated with substantial mortality and morbidity , .
Although the
Based on treatment outcome, longitudinal course, biologic and physiologic data, and family histories (Rabkin et al., 1996), the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) (American Psychiatric Association, 1994) added atypical features as a
This application proposes a placebo-controlled double-blind trial of modafinil, on a platform of contingency management (CM) and individual cognitive-behavioral counseling (CBT once weekly individual session), for the treatment of methamphetamine dependence. Modafinil is a medication warranting
