Intermittent Fasting and the Possible Benefits in Obesity, Diabetes, and Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review of Randomized Clinical Trials
2021
Intermittent fasting has become popular in recent years and is controversially presented as a possible therapeutic adjunct. A bibliographic review of the literature on intermittent fasting and obesity, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis was carried out. The scientific quality of the methodology and the results obtained were evaluated in pairs. Intermittent fasting has beneficial effects on the lipid profile, and it is associated with weight loss and a modification of the distribution of abdominal fat in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes as well as an improvement in the control of glycemic levels. In patients with multiple sclerosis, the data available are too scarce to draw any firm con…

Elpošanas frekvences kinētikas izmantošana intermitētas fiziskas slodzes intensitātes novērtēšanai
2022
Elpošanas frekvence (fR) tiek izmantota kā parametrs fiziskās slodzes radītās piepūles novērtēšanai. Šajā pētījumā indivīda atbildes reakcijas uz fizisku slodzi novērtēšanai tika izmantots pieaugošas intensitātes intermitētas slodzes protokols. Tika analizēta fR atbildes reakcija un izmaiņu kinētika slodzes testa laikā, lai novērtētu vai pie augstas intensitātes slodzes fR pieaugums ir lielāks nekā zemas vai vidējas intensitātes slodzē. Pētījumā piedalījās 16 dalībnieki, no kuriem 14 dalībnieki pabeidza slodzes testu, un to dati tika izmantoti datu analīzei. Dalībniekam bija jāveic intermitētas pieaugošas veloergometriskas slodzes tests līdz spēku izsīkumam. Slodzes tests sastāvēja no trīs …
Estudio comparativo de la combinación de diferentes modos de administración de anestésicos locales en la analgesia del parto
2020
La analgesia epidural es una de las técnicas más demandadas y por ello dicha analgesia ha ido evolucionando en los últimos años. Recientemente se ha desarrollado el modo PIEB (Programmed Intermittent Epidural Boluses) que puede reducir el consumo de anestésico local y así minimizar consecuencias indeseables tales como la cardio o la neurotoxicidad. En el año 2012 la compañía Smiths Medical lanzó al mercado un sistema de infusión ambulatoria CADD®-Solis versión software 3.0 de la generación de bombas de infusión CADD® que permite combinar varios modos de administración del anestésico local en el espacio epidural, hasta ahora no utilizados juntos ya que no existía en el mercado una bomba con …
Vienas rokas intermitētas išēmijas ietekme uz sirds ritma variabilitāti un mikrocirkulāciju otras rokas ādā
2015
Išēmiska prekondicionēšana (IPC) ir terapeitiska stratēģija, lai samazinātu išēmijas radītus bojājumus. Išēmiskie bojājumi ir šūnu bojājumi, ko izraisa nepietiekama skābekļa piegāde. Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot vienas rokas intermitētas išēmijas ietekmi uz sirds ritma variabilitāti un otras rokas mikrocirkulāciju ādā. Tika izvirzīta hipotēze, ka vienas rokas intermitēta išēmija izraisa otras rokas ādas mikrocirkulācijas lokālo regulatoro mehānismu aktivitātes izmaiņas. Lai sasniegtu mērķi, 10 personām tika veikts vienas rokas intermitētas išēmijas tests. Testa laikā tika veikts ādas asins plūsmas pretējā rokā pieraksts un sirdsdarbības ciklu (RR intervālu) reģistrācija Pirms un pēc test…
Lumbar facet joint stabilization for symptomatic spinal degenerative disease: A systematic review of the literature
2022
Objective: Lumbar spinal degenerative disease (LSDD), unresponsive to conservative therapy, is commonly treated by surgical decompression and interbody fusion. Since facet joint incompetence has been suggested as responsible for the entire phenomenon of spinal degeneration, facet stabilization can be considered as an alternative technique to treat symptomatic spinal degenerative disease. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature for studies utilizing lumbar facet joint fixation techniques for LSDD to assess their safety and efficacy. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analy…
Pathophysiology of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
2021
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a complex disorder characterized by total or partial collapse of the upper airways (UA) during sleep, causing obstructive apneas or hypopneas, respectively. During respiratory events, respiratory efforts occur against the restricted or collapsed upper airway, hypoxia and hypercapnia develop, and sympathetic activation increases. The main symptoms of OSA are intermittent snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness. OSA is often associated with obesity, hypertension, and increased cardiovascular risk. Pathophysiological aspects include: anatomical and physiological determinants of UA closure, and immediate and long-term consequences of chronic intermittent hypoxi…
Traffic proximity and lung function. A case-control study in asthmatic children
2015
Introduction: Respiratory conditions are strongly dependent on air pollution. Urban areas are typically characterized by risky environmental conditions. Objectives: To analyze the effect of traffic proximity on asthma and to explore the relationship between level of traffic proximity and lung function in asthmatic and non- asthmatic children. Methods: A case-control study on children visited for suspected respiratory diseases at IBIM from 2011 to 2014 was performed. All the children have been geocoded according to their residence address. Exposure to traffic air pollution was assessed through determination of number and types of streets in proximity of the place of residence. The relationsh…
Water quality analysis in network and private storage tanks in intermittent distribution systems
2012
In countries suffering from chronic water shortages, water distribution systems are often operated on an intermittent basis. As a consequence, the network is involved by cyclical filling and emptying periods causing water quality degradation. During the emptying period, the distribution system is unpressurised and it may occur that pollutants move into the network. Moreover, the stagnation period can promote microbial growth. For this reason water is usually heavily chlorinated in order to maintain it potable. Due to intermittent water service users acquire private tanks, which are used for collecting water during serviced periods and distributing it when public service is not available. Th…
Biodeterioration of the Wooden Roof of the Phnom Penh National Museum
2017
Within the framework of a training program in Cambodia, during a visit to the National Museum in Phnom Penh, the most important in the Kingdom of Cambodia, the authors noted the presence of some signs of a termite attack in the secondary elements of the roof of an inner garden. Following this observation, a further investigation was performed in order to evaluate the phytosanitary condition of the wooden bearing element of the roof. The inspection highlighted the presence of severe decay, constituting a real danger for the integrity of the roof; consequently, an intervention of restoration, conservation and safeguard was considered to be necessary and urgent. This paper presents the results…
