introduction: menopause is associated with complications that can affect women's attitudes. women's attitudes toward menopause can help to improve their performance and reduce the severity of its complications. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of glycyrrhiza glabra (g. glabra) plant and exercise on the attitude of menopausal women. materials and methods: this clinical ...

BACKGROUND The natural history of disease in patients with stage IV (fibrotic) sarcoidosis may mirror that of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Both are bothered by progressive dyspnea, exercise limitation and fatigue. OBJECTIVE To establish whether patients suffering from pulmonary fibrosis might benefit from a physical training program. STUDY DESIGN Twenty-four eligible p...

Two treatment approaches used by two hand clinics were compared for patients who had undergone carpal tunnel release surgery. One of the clinics used an exercise program consisting of progressive resistive exercise; the other clinic used limited activity and no specific exercise program. Measurements of grip strength and active and passive wrist flexion and extension were taken 3 weeks and 6 we...

INTRODUCTION Preliminary evidence in adults with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and in SMA animal models suggests exercise has potential benefits in improving or stabilizing muscle strength and motor function. METHODS We evaluated feasibility, safety, and effects on strength and motor function of a home-based, supervised progressive resistance strength training exercise program in children wit...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The effects of a home exercise program for persons with chronic peripheral neuropathies (CPN) have not been documented. We compared changes in impairment and health-related quality of life (HRQL) between exercise and control groups, investigated the relationship between HRQL and measures of impairment, and contrasted the HRQL of individuals with CPN to that previously des...

ARPA, in its STOW program, expressed a goal of expanding virtual simulation exercises to encompass 100,000 DIS entities. Obvious scalability challenges to meeting this goal are the computer and network issues such as bandwidth and computing power. However, human issues are also relevant; such issues include exercise management, reducing the staffing necessary for an exercise, and maintaining re...

Inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and mineral bone disease are critical factors contributing to morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Physical exercise alleviates inflammation and increases bone density. Here, we investigated the effects of intradialytic aerobic cycling exercise on HD patients. Forty end-stage renal disease patients undergoing HD were randomly assigned to ...

A computer program has been developed which clarifies the distorted exercise ECG and performs desired measurements of it which are reported in the laboratory almost immediately, so that the program can be used as an aid to exercise test monitoring. We have introduced a new measurement of the ECG, the negative ST (ST) integral, which while unfamiliar to the eye is readily performed by computer. ...

This study was conducted to identify the effects of a fall-prevention exercise program on the participation and static balance of elderly persons in daily life roles. [Subjects] Ten participants over 65 years of age (75.29±2.93) who were healthy community-dwellers (two men and eight women) were recruited. [Methods] The participants exercised three times a week for eight weeks. The exercise prog...
