TOPIC: Allergy and Airway TYPE: Original Investigations PURPOSE: Severe asthma is characterized by higher rates of airway hyperresponsiveness concomitantly increased eosinophilic neutrophilic systemic inflammation in which bradykinin plays a central role. Aerobic exercise (AE) the main component pulmonary rehabilitation inhibiting mild moderate asthmatics. In addition, AE mouse models allergic ...

It is unclear whether regular exercise alone (no caloric restriction) is a useful strategy to reduce adiposity and obesity-related metabolic risk factors in obese girls. We examined the effects of aerobic (AE) vs. resistance exercise (RE) alone on visceral adipose tissue (VAT), intrahepatic lipid, and insulin sensitivity in obese girls. Forty-four obese adolescent girls (BMI ≥95th percentile, 1...

The current density-luminance-voltage characteristics of organic light-emitting devices ~OLEDs! with N ,N8-Bis~naphthalen-1-yl)-N ,N8-bis~phenyl! benzidine ~NPB! of various thicknesses as the hole transport layer have been investigated. It is found that for conventional structures of indium– tin–oxide/NPB/tris~8-hydroxyquinoline! aluminum (Alq3) ~60 nm!/LiF ~0.5 nm!/Al the optimal hole injectio...

The addition of aerobic exercise (AE) to a resistance exercise (RE) program (concurrent exercise, CE) can interfere with maximum muscle fiber growth achieved with RE. Further, CE appears to markedly affect the growth of myosin heavy chain (MHC) I, but not MHC IIa fibers. The mechanism responsible for this "interference" is unclear. Satellite cell (SC) responsiveness to exercise appears to influ...

A 29‐year‐old male patient presented with decreased vision for 2 years following electrocution injury (electric cables with 25000 volts). No significant family or ocular history was elicited. He was diagnosed to have pigmentary retinopathy in both eyes clinically. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 6/12, N8 in the right eye and 6/18, N8 in the left eye. Anterior segment examination reveale...

Abstract Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus multilocularis . Chemotherapy for AE involves albendazole (ABZ), which has shown insufficient efficacy. More effective chemotherapy needed. Previously, we have demonstrated that atovaquone (ATV), an antimalarial, inhibits mitochondrial complex III E and restricts development cysts in vivo experiments. Therefore,...

Mobility is a complex but crucial clinical outcome in older adults. Past observational studies have highlighted that cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), energy cost of walking (ECW), and cognitive switching abilities are associated with mobility performance, making these key determinants intervention targets to enhance The objective this study was compare, the same design, impact three training me...

BACKGROUND Aerobic exercise (AE) is recommended as first-line antihypertensive lifestyle therapy based on strong evidence showing that it lowers blood pressure (BP) 5 to 7 mm Hg among adults with hypertension. Because of weaker evidence showing that dynamic resistance training (RT) reduces BP 2 to 3 mm Hg among adults with hypertension, it is recommended as adjuvant lifestyle therapy to AE trai...
