Background: Severe acne scars results in permanent scarring and facial disfigurement causing physical psychosocial distress. Management of poses a therapeutic challenge for the dermatologists. Ablative lasers do produce significant improvement but associated with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, prolonged recovery time scarring. Recently development fractional carbon dioxide laser microneed...

Purpose: To compare the acute and chronic effects of high intensity intermittent training (HIIT) and steady state training (SST) on the metabolic profile and inflammatory response in physically active men. Methods: Thirty recreationally active men were randomly allocated to a control group (n = 10), HIIT group (n = 10), or SST group (n = 10). For 5 weeks, three times per week, subjects performe...

BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction is a hallmark of diabetes mellitus and systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) and an early maker for atherosclerosis. Aerobic exercise training is known to enhance endothelial function, but little is understood about the effects of resistance or combined exercise training on endothelial function. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a 12-week ae...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether correlated event-related potentials (ERPs) can be detected between the brains of spatially and sensory isolated human subjects. DESIGN AND SETTING Simultaneous digitized electroencephalograms (EEGs) were recorded from the occipital area in pairs of human subjects placed in sound attenuated rooms separated by 10 meters. One person relaxed in one of the rooms whil...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acute resistance exercise with different movement orders on fatigue parameters (serotonin and rpe test) in non-athlete men (normal weight and obese). 26 male university students were purposively selected and assigned to obese (n-11) and normal weight groups (n=15). in the first session, half of the subjects (both obese and normal) randomly ...

The objective of this study was to examine the response and recovery to a single set of maximal, low and high angular velocity isokinetic leg extension-flexion contractions with boys. Sixteen boys (11-14 yrs) performed 10 isokinetic contractions at 60°.s-1 (Isok60) and 300°.s-1 (Isok300). Three contractions at both velocities, blood lactate and ratings of perceived exertion were monitored prete...

Sprinting ability is important for successful performance in sports. The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between force-velocity-power relationship a whole-body movement and sprint performance. Twelve male participants performed maximal squat jumps with additional loads ranging from 0% 100% body weight obtain force-velocity profiles. mean force velocity were calculated during pu...
