PURPOSE The effects of creatine and exercise on chronic stress-induced depression are unclear. In the present study, we identified the effects of 4-week supplementation of creatine monohydrate and/or exercise on antidepressant behavior and raphe 5-HT expression in a chronic mild stress-induced depressed mouse model. METHODS Seven-week-old male C57BL/6 mice (n=48) were divided randomly into 5 ...

Abstract Background Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) without hypertension could cause significant exercise limitations. However, interventional or surgical treatments for CTEPD with mild normal pressure are on controversy. Purpose We aimed to evaluate cardiopulmonary function through test (CPET) stress echocardiography and determine whether can explain limitations in patients mP...

OBJECTIVE To study the prognostic value of exercise stress test variables in elderly patients with coronary atherosclerosis and exercise-induced ischemia. METHODS Sixty-four elderly patients (61 men, 73 +/- 5 years old) with coronary atherosclerosis, verified by cardiac catheterization, that were clinically stable, had a left ventricle ejection fraction greater than or equal to 0.40 and devel...

introduction: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is one of the most common endocrinological pathologies in women during their reproductive years with ovulatory dysfunction, abdominal obesity, hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance. the aim of the present research was to evaluate the total antioxidant capacity (tac), total oxidant status (tos), free testosterone, ovarian morphology and estrous cy...

Novel PC-based cardiac stress test system is considered in this paper. The system consist of ECG signal acquisition module, which is connected to the PC over USB port, software application dedicated to stress testing, ergotest bicycle and treadmill. First, electronic circuits of signal acquisition module are described, and after, software features are presented.

Background—Invasive hemodynamic exercise testing is commonly used in the evaluation of

Brugada syndrome (BS) is a genetic channelopathy, clinically characterized by an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. The diagnosis requires typical electrocardiographic pattern, and data on stratification are limited in the literature. aim this study was to conduct review importance exercise stress test (EST) BS. Articles were searched PubMed, Scielo Google Scholar databases. From 200 artic...
