the effects of dietary supplementation of grape seed extract (gse) and vitamin c on carcass characteristics, gut morphology and ileal microflora in broiler chickens exposed to chronic heat stress were examined. experimental diets included a control diet (without additive), 3 levels of gse (150, 300, 450 mg/kg of diet), and vitamin c (300 mg/kg of diet). each of the five diets was fed to 5 repli...

Muscle wasting and weakness occur frequently in patients with chronic renal failure. The mechanism(s) by which these abnormalities occur is unclear. We hypothesized that such findings were due to defective muscle protein synthesis. We measured synthetic rates of mixed muscle proteins, myosin heavy chain, and mitochondrial proteins in serial muscle biopsy samples during a continuous infusion of ...

Introduction: Repetitive strain injuries are one of the most prevalent problems in occupational diseases. Repetition, vibration and bad postures of the extremities are physical risk factors related to work that can cause chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Repetitive work on a computer with low level contraction requires the posture to be maintained for a long time, which can cause muscle fatigu...

Skeletal muscle function was measured as force production and fatigue in both the quadriceps (a large locomotive muscle) and adductor pollicis (a small intrinsic hand muscle) in five healthy volunteers, five patients with mild chronic heart failure, and five patients with severe chronic heart failure. The quadriceps of patients with chronic heart failure had a reduced muscle cross sectional are...

Abstract Background Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is accompanied by myopathy characterized mitochondrial dysfunction. The aim of this experimental study was to investigate the effect revascularization procedures on function in ischemic and non-ischemic muscle. Methods Muscle biopsies from patients with symptomatic stage IIB/III PAD caused isolated pathologies superficial femoral artery were...

ABSTRACT This systematic review aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), analyzing effects IMT on strength and endurance, exercise tolerance reduction dyspnea. A search was carried out PubMed, Cochrane Lilacs databases, from August 2021 February 2023, searching for studies published 2016. The descrip...

Chronic kidney disease is one of the major non-infectious diseases. Patient with chronic mainly requires hemodialysis. Hemodialysis may cause various complications, so hemodialysis patient appropriate care. Aim study: Assess effectiveness Intradialytic aerobic exercises on muscle cramps among patients Undergoing Hemodialysis. Material and method: The research design adopted for study was quasi-...

kennedy disease is a rare x-linked neurodegenerative disorder that affects patients in 30-50 years of age. it is caused by cag-repeat in androgen receptor gen. there is no known effective treatment for kennedy disease. we report a 60-year-old man who had fasciculations and proximal and distal muscle weakness. physical examination showed involvement of the bulbar musculature accompanied by tongu...
