OBJECTIVES It is suggested that serious levels of fatigue are present in nearly half of patients with OA. However, it is unclear which dimensions of fatigue are involved, if fatigue is related to pain and physical function, and if fatigue is influenced by therapy. The aims of this study were to measure levels of different dimensions of fatigue before and after evidenced-based conservative treat...

Fatigue is a very common non-motor symptom in Parkinson disease (PD) patients. It included physical fatigue and mental fatigue. The potential mechanisms of mental fatigue involving serotonergic dysfunction and abnormal iron metabolism are still unknown. Therefore, we evaluated the fatigue symptoms, classified PD patients into fatigue group and non-fatigue group, and detected the levels of serot...

. SAMPLE 35 children and adolescents with cancer. METHODS Data were collected using the PedsQL Multidimensiona...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the resistance to fatigue failure of five different nickel-titanium rotary files in three different curved trajectories. materials and methods: a total of 150 neoniti a1, race 25.06, mtwo 25.06, twisted file 25.06 and protaper next x2 files with the tip size of 25 were tested (n=30 for each group). three groove types simulating curved canals...

background:   the  role of nutrition  in the  progression  of multiple  sclerosis (ms) and  related  complications  such  as fatigue  has been  reported by several studies.  the  aim of this  study  is the  assessment of nutritional  status  and  its relationship with fatigue in multiple sclerosis patients. methods:  this  is  a  cross-sectional study, in which  101 relapsing-remitting ms patie...

abstract aim and background: multiple sclerosis is a chronic neurological disorder which is more prevalent in women than men. therefore, the aim of present study was to evaluate the relationship physical functioning impairment (as criterion variable) with fatigue, psychological symptoms and body mass index (as predictive variables) in the women suffering from this disease. methods and materials...

PURPOSE Fatigue is commonly experienced in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and is associated with poor outcomes. Currently, little research has examined the psychosocial correlates of fatigue severity and its impact on renal disease patients. We predicted that psychological factors (distress, cognitions and behaviours) would be associated with fatigue severity and impairment in ESKD patients ev...

Muscle fatigue is associated with a number of clinical diseases, including chronic pain conditions. Decreases in extracellular pH activates acid-sensing ion channel 3 (ASIC3), depolarizes muscle, protects against fatigue, and produces pain. We examined whether ASIC3-/- mice were more fatigable than ASIC3+/+ mice in a task-dependent manner. We developed two exercise protocols to measure exercise...
