La enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) es una patología de expresión multisistémica, producto la exposición del pulmón a partículas o gases nocivos, e influenciada por múltiples factores huésped. Su diagnóstico requiere presencia obstrucción en espirometría post B2, y con frecuencia se asocia enfermedades otros sistemas que incrementan carga pueden ser considerados rasgos tratables a...

BACKGROUND Atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP) and Brain natriuretic peptides (BNP) stimulate fat cell plasma membrane receptors. They are potent lipolytic agents on isolated fat cells from subcutaneous adipose tissue. The physiological effects of continuous endurance exercise on ANP release and plasma free fatty acids (FFA) concentrations have been well described. The enhancement of fat metaboli...

In this paper we propose the creation of a novel hBCI, which combines biomechanical signals acquired by the Kinect sensor with signals from the BCI system Emotiv EPOC through the strategy of selective attention, using SSVEP signals. SSVEP are neural signals that occur in response to visual stimulation of certain frequency, they can be captured by BCI systems to generate an interaction through t...

Paraplegia is a disability caused by impairment in motor or sensory functions of the lower limbs. Most paraplegic subjects use mechanical wheelchairs for their movement, however, patients with reduced upper limb functionality may benefit from the use of motorised, electric wheelchairs. Depending on the patient, learning how to control these wheelchairs can be hard (if at all possible), timecons...

Objetivo: Determinar el grado de adherencia al tratamiento en los pacientes con EPOC derecho habientes México. Método: Estudio transversal que se analizó la asociación características sociodemográficas, uso oxígeno y tiempo enfermedad apego tratamiento. Se realizó análisis descriptivo; utilizaron pruebas hipótesis Chi-cuadrado (nivel confianza 95 %). estimó razón prevalencias, prueba T Student ...

We investigated if carbohydrate (CHO) availability could affect the excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) after a single supramaximal exercise bout. Five physically active men cycled at 115% of peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2 peak) until exhaustion with low or high pre-exercise CHO availability. The endogenous CHO stores were manipulated by performing a glycogen-depletion exercise protocol 48 ...

EEG-based systems have been the most widely used in the field of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) for two decades. Plenty of applications have been proposed from games to rehabilitation systems. Until recently, EEG recording devices were too expensive for an end-user. Today, several low-cost alternatives have appeared on the market. The most sophisticated of these low-cost devices is the Emotiv ...

This paper examines the task of recognizing EEG patterns that correspond to performing three mental tasks: relaxation and imagining of two types of pictures: faces and houses. The experiments were performed using two EEG headsets: BrainProducts ActiCap and Emotiv EPOC. The Emotiv headset becomes widely used in consumer BCI application allowing for conducting large-scale EEG experiments in the f...
