background clinical tendon injuries represent serious and unresolved issues of the case on how the injured tendons could be improved based on natural structure and mechanical strength. the aim of this studies the effect of aquatic activities and alogenic platelet rich plasma (prp) injection in healing achilles tendons of rats. methods forty rats were randomly divided into 5 equal groups. sevent...

Clinical experiences indicate that aquatic exercises may have advantages for osteoarthritis patients. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of aquatic exercise training on the knee pain and its symptoms as well as on the motor performance associated with daily living activities (ADL), sport-recreational activities, and the quality of life in men over 50. 30 men over 50 years ol...

The ocean’s biological diversity—its genetic resources, species, and ecosystems—provides immense benefits to the United States and to all of human society. Knowledge about these resources is still rudimentary; however, trends in the best studied species and ecosystems— commercially exploited fishes, protected marine mammals and turtles, and certain coastal ecosystems, such as coral reefs— indic...

Cerebral palsy is the most common cause of serious physical disability in childhood. Inadequate physical fitness is one of the major problems in children with cerebral palsy. Various aquatic activities and exercises can improve fitness levels in children with cerebral palsy. The aim of this paper is the analysis of the studies published from 1990 to 2011, which investigate the effects of aquati...

Microbial extracellular hydrolytic enzymes that degrade organic matter in aquatic ecosystems play key roles in the biogeochemical carbon cycle. To provide linkages between hydrolytic enzyme activities and genomic or metabolomic studies in aquatic environments, reliable measurements are required for many samples at one time. Extracellular proteases are one of the most important classes of enzyme...
