Background: Effectiveness and safety of Resistance Training in treating various Cerebrovascular Disease diagnoses have drawn attention in recent years. Patients suffering with coronary artery disease should be offered individually tailored Resistance Training in their exercise regimen. Resistance Training was developed to help individuals with their functional status, mobility, physical performance, and muscle strength. Objective: The objective of this review was to collect, summarize and present information on the state of science focusing on usefulness, viability, safety and efficacy of Resistance Training in treating coronary artery disease and enhancing the aerobic capacity and improving overall health-related quality of life. Methods: The review is prepared in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Searches were conducted in Cochrane Library, PubMed/MEDLINE, PEDro and Scopus database. PEDro scale was used for methodological quality assessment of included studies. Two independent reviewers determined the inclusion criteria of studies by classifying interventions based on core components, outcome measures, diagnostic population and rated the quality of evidence and strength of recommendations using GRADE criteria. Results: Total 13 studies with 1025 patients were included for the detailed analysis. Findings emphasize the importance of assessing effectiveness and safety of Resistance Training in individuals with coronary artery disease. Patient specific designed exercise programs as Resistance Training targets at enhancing patients’ exercise tolerance, improves hemodynamic response and muscular strength with reduction in body fat composition. Conclusion: Resistance Training is an effective exercise that should be incorporated to counteract the loss of muscle strength, muscle mass, and physiological vulnerability, as well as to combat the associated debilitating effects on physical functioning, mobility and overall independence and Quality of Life during rehabilitation of patients with coronary artery disease.
Introduction
Physical exercise deters the risk and reduce the adjusted Odds Ratio related to obesity and cardiometabolic diseases but the amount of physical exercise required for initiating those potential advantageous developments in the human body for normal obese individuals is still debatable and thus made many face the health burden during pandemic, despite of their claiming to be physically active.
Objective
The primary aim of this review was to find an ideal duration and form of exercise that could help reduce the risk of cardiometabolic diseases and its complications for subjects with obesity and deranged cardiometabolic risk markers.
Method
Electronic database PubMed/MedLine, Scopus and PEDro for available literature on Experimental studies and RCT on exercise prescription and its effect on anthropometric measurements as well as key biomarkers in obese individuals, 451 records were procured, 47 full text articles were identified to assess eligibility criteria out of which 19 were finally included in the review.
Results
There exists a strong association between cardiometabolic profile and physical activity, poor diet, sedentary lifestyle and continuous exercises for longer duration can lead to reduction in obesity and subjects with cardiometabolic diseases.
Conclusion
Various confounding factors that may affect the outcome of physical activity training have not been considered in a standard format by all the authors in the articles reviewed. There was variation in duration of physical activity and energy expenditure required for inducing the changes in different cardiometabolic biomarkers.
Background Contagious diseases are recognized as the most serious risks to population health. Even with the breakthroughs in medicine, there are still substantial causes of mortality and illness. During the early aftermath of the virus outbreak, the mental health of healthcare workers was severely impacted. Stress and anxiety appeared in the early stages of the pandemic, while symptoms of sadness, psychophysiological, and post-traumatic stress appeared later and remained for a long period, resulting in substantial repercussions. Aim To observe the psychological distress and anxiety among nursing professionals with fear of infection from COVID-19 omicron variant. Methods In this online cross-sectional survey study a self-made questionnaire was distributed to 246 nurses across the country using a snowball sampling method. Among 246 participants 210 were males and 36 were females between 18 and 38 years of age. Results The results of the study support the notion that the nursing professionals face psychological distress and anxiety due to the COVID-19 omicron variant. Conclusions The study was conducted on nursing professionals who were working in the COVID-19 ward and suffering from more psychological distress and anxiety.
Background: Botulinum Toxin type-A (BoNT-A) is a safe and effective treatment for reducing spasticity in children with cerebral palsy (CP). BoNT-A injection into the muscles alleviate spasticity by interrupting neurotransmission at motor endplate (MEP). Physical activities combined with botulinum injections can help children with CP to become physically independent and improve their health-related quality of life.Methods: 'Botulinum toxin' and 'Physical exercises' for children and adolescents, were searched in three major online databases (PubMed, Science Direct, and Scopus). Through the inclusion and exclusion processes from total 1,233, nine articles were selected for review.Results: All studies included were experimental trials including various interventions. Botulinum toxins when paired with physical exercises to treat hypertonia, a condition in which a little change in tone can affect a child's balance, strength and motor function, as well as secondary concerns such as malalignment and repair contractures.
Conclusion:BoNT and physical exercises are two promising therapeutic techniques for treating children with CP that enable them for enhancing use and function of their afflicted limb.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
