Background/Objective Research on the acute health effects of whole-body vibration with resistance exercise (WBV + RE) for clinical populations is limited. This randomized crossover trial evaluated postexercise hypotension and excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) in response to three conditions: WBV + RE, RE alone, and control (CON) in 11 prehypertensive (systolic/diastolic blood pressu...

The present study measured the excess post-exercise oxygen cost (EPOC) following tests at critical swimming speed (Ucrit) in three stocks of adult, wild, Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus sp.) and used EPOC to estimate the time required to return to their routine level of oxygen consumption (recovery time) and the total oxygen cost of swimming to Ucrit. Following exhaustion at Ucrit, recovery time w...

We present the evaluation of two well-known, low-cost consumer-grade EEG devices: the Emotiv EPOC and the Neurosky MindWave. Problems with using the consumer-grade EEG devices (BCI illiteracy, poor technical characteristics, and adverse EEG artefacts) are discussed. The experimental evaluation of the devices, performed with 10 subjects asked to perform concentration/relaxation and blinking reco...

During recovery from even a brief period of exercise, metabolic rate remains elevated above resting levels for extended periods. The intensity and duration of exercise as well as body temperature and hormone levels can influence this excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). We examined the influence of activity before exercise (ABE), commonly termed warm-up in endotherms, on EPOC in the ...

BACKGROUND In the early phases of resuscitation in a critically ill patient, especially those in cardiac arrest, intravenous (IV) access can be difficult to obtain. Intraosseous (IO) access is often used in these critical situations to allow medication administration. When no IV access is available, it is difficult to obtain blood for point of care analysis, yet this information can be crucial ...

La pandemia por SARS-COV-2 ha generado muchos interrogantes sobre el comportamiento de enfermedades crónicas. Si bien se conoce que los pacientes con comorbilidades importantes tienen un mayor riesgo complicaciones, no enfermedades, como la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC), en período y cuarentena covid-19. En este artículo, realizó una revisión literatura principales aspectos teó...

Objetivo: Elaborar un plan de cuidados enfermería para mejorar la atención en los pacientes con EPOC el Área Aislamiento Medicina Interna Hospital General Ambato. Método: La investigación fue diseño no experimental; como técnicas se tiene encuesta y guía encuesta. Resultados conclusiones: Se encontró que 56% eran masculinos; principales síntomas presentaron fueron esputo viscoso, 100%, tos prod...
