INTRODUCTION Gonarthrosis is the most common disorder of the musculoskeletal system, with an age-related prevalence varying between 12-55%. The treatment of OA is mostly symptomatic and includes the use of analgesics, NSAIDs, exercise and even surgery. However, the use of long-term NSAIDs is

Study Procedures: All tests and measurements were performed during three visits at the given swim teams training/practice facility. During Visit 1, participants were informed of all tests and procedures that will take place and were familiarised with all testing protocols. All anthropometric

The aim of this research is to determine the metabolic responses to a mixed-meal tolerance test following a bout of HIIT and MICT in persons with chronic paraplegia. The hypothesis is that HIIT and MICT will be more effective at reducing the total triglyceride responses compared to a resting control

Background: Moderate acute malnutrition (MAM), a major global health problem, is defined as wasting (i.e. weight-for-height between <-2 and -3 Z-scores of the WHO Child Growth Standards) and/or mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC) greater or equal to 115 mm and less than 125 mm. According to the

The proposed study is a double-blind, cross-over two-week intervention, simulating the peaking phases (high-intensity and volume) in young competitive soccer players. Study Procedures: All tests and measurements will be performed within six-weeks across five visits. The two training intervention

LAB VISIT #1: ORIENTATION AND BASELINE TESTING (about 1.5 hours): One to two weeks prior to the start of the study, study participants will report to the NCRC Human Performance Lab for orientation and baseline testing. Study participants will be screened to verify "low risk" status for

INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes In Brazil, chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) were the cause of 72% of deaths and reached 63% in the world in 2008, with large numbers of premature deaths. Cardiovascular disease (31.3%), Diabetes Mellitus (DM) (5.2%), cancer (16.3%) and

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES; I. To determine the feasibility of apigenin oral supplementation using a specially formulated celery-banana bread. II. To determine the safety and tolerability of apigenin supplementation. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. Patients consume one serving of lower dose

Investigators will conduct 3 Pre-POC studies among 12-18 month old children with MAM (WLZ <-2 to -3) and stunting (LAZ <-2 to -3) over the course of approximately two years. Study design: Randomized controlled intervention trial. Study site: This study will be conducted at Bauniabadh, Mirpur in

The research procedures will be conducted at the Human Performance Laboratory (Room 1201, Plants for Human Health Institute Building, 600 Laureate Way), operated by Appalachian State University at the North Carolina Research Campus (NCRC) in Kannapolis, NC. Participants will come here for

Trained cyclists (N=14) completed two 75-km cycling time trials (randomized, crossover) while ingesting BAN or CHO (0.2 g/kg carbohydrate every 15 min). Pre-, post-, and 1-h-post-exercise blood samples were analyzed for glucose, granulocyte (GR) and monocyte (MO) phagocytosis (PHAG) and oxidative

Sample: Fifteen adult athletes from the Portuguese Athletic Federation will be invited to participate in this study. They must be healthy and lactose tolerant. Athletes will be voluntary and should receive an explanatory document with the aims of the study. They must also sign an informed consent to

Recruitment: Subjects for the study were sourced primarily from the University Hospital of the West Indices (Diabetic Clinic) and from the Diabetes Association of Jamaica Outreach Centers in Kingston and St. Catherine. Volunteers were also recruited through clinical visits and by opportunistic
