Testosterone and cortisol responses to competitive fighting in human males: A pilot study

1987

Departamento de Psicologia Fisiologica (A.S., V.S., F.S.) and Laboratorio de MedicinaNuclear e Isotopos (L.L.), Hospital Clinico Universitario, Universitat de Valencia, Valencia,SpainSerum testosterone and cortisol levels were measured by radioimmunoassay in 14young male judo competitors, in samples taken 10 minutes before and 45 minutes aftertwo different pr(Redures. The first involved physical exercise and the second competi-tive fighting. Both procedures were of 5 minutes duration and sessions took plate atthe same time (between 10:00 \.M. and 12:00 P.M. liR-al lime) but on different days.Comparing the two situations over all subjects revealed that testosterone increasedafter exercise an…

Holter-electrocardiogram-monitoring in patients with acute ischaemic stroke (Find-AFRANDOMISED): an open-label randomised controlled trial.

2017

Summary Background Atrial fibrillation is a major risk factor for recurrent ischaemic stroke, but often remains undiagnosed in patients who have had an acute ischaemic stroke. Enhanced and prolonged Holter-electrocardiogram-monitoring might increase detection of atrial fibrillation. We therefore investigated whether enhanced and prolonged rhythm monitoring was better for detection of atrial fibrillation than standard care procedures in patients with acute ischaemic stroke. Methods Find-AF randomised is an open-label randomised study done at four centres in Germany. We recruited patients with acute ischaemic stroke (symptoms for 7 days or less) aged 60 years or older presenting with sinus rh…

Current Status of Epibulbar Anti-glaucoma Drainage Devices in Glaucoma Surgery

2012

SUMMARY Background: The term “glaucoma” covers a hetero geneous group of progressive optic neuropathies that are accompanied by characteristic visual-field defects. Primary open-angle glaucoma, the most common type, progresses insidiously and causes blindness if untreated. All current forms of treatment aim at lowering the intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients whose IOP is elevated. The implantation of anti-glaucoma drainage systems is one of the available options for surgical treatment. Methods: This review is based on pertinent literature retrieved by a selective search, including glaucoma treatment guidelines from Germany and abroad. Results: A paradigm shift is currently underway regar…

The Therapeutic Effects of Whole-Body Vibration in Patients With Fibromyalgia. A Randomized Controlled Trial

2021

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disease with few effective therapeutic options. We evaluated the efficacy of a 12-weeks therapy program that involves the use of whole body vibration in patients with fibromyalgia. The experimental group (N = 20 patients) participated in a neuromuscular training with a rotational whole body vibration platform for 12 weeks. The control group (N = 20 patients) received no physiotherapy treatment. The following variables were assessed before, after and 3 months after the therapy program: Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire, pain intensity, quality of life, sensitivity measurements (pressure pain thresholds, vibration thresholds), motor function tasks (Berg scale, 6…

OARSI/OMERACT Initiative to Define States of Severity and Indication for Joint Replacement in Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis. An OMERACT 10 Special Inte…

2011

Objective.To define pain and physical function cutpoints that would, coupled with structural severity, define a surrogate measure of “need for joint replacement surgery,” for use as an outcome measure for potential structure-modifying interventions for osteoarthritis (OA).Methods.New scores were developed for pain and physical function in knee and hip OA. A cross-sectional international study in 1909 patients was conducted to define data-driven cutpoints corresponding to the orthopedic surgeons’ indication for joint replacement. A post hoc analysis of 8 randomized clinical trials (1379 patients) evaluated the prevalence and validity of cutpoints, among patients with symptomatic hip/knee OA.…
