Severe social withdrawal, called hikikomori, has drawn increased public attention. However, an optimal clinical approach and strategy of treatment has not been well established. Here, we report a case of hikikomori for which an exercise intervention using jogging therapy was effective, showing cerebral hemodynamic improvement. The patient was a 20 year old Japanese male who was hospitalized in ...

BACKGROUND The mainstay of therapy for catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is maximal doses of beta-blockers. However, although beta-blockers prevent exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia (VT), most patients continue to have ventricular ectopy during exercise, and some studies report high mortality rates despite beta-blockade. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study wa...

Little is known about the effects of sequential combination therapy on exercise capacity in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We monitored exercise capacity by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) and observed the benefit of using a peak oxygen uptake (VO2) cut-off of 15 mL/min/kg to guide combination therapy. The patients underwent CPX at baseline and after 3, 6, and 12 months. In patie...

Exercise training (ET) is an important non-drug adjuvant therapy against many human diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. The appropriate ET intensity induces beneficial adaptions and improves physiological function cardiopulmonary fitness. mechanisms of exercise-induced cardioprotective effects are still not fully understood. However, mounting evidence suggest that microRNAs (miRNAs) pl...

BACKGROUND In people with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, high self-efficacy facilitates recovery, indicated by improved muscle function, reduced knee symptoms and increased physical activity. Impact of treatment on future self-efficacy is however not well investigated. The aims of the study were to 1) investigate knee-related self-efficacy 6 years after acute ACL injury in patients tr...

STUDY DESIGN A multicenter, randomized, controlled trial with 1-year follow-up. OBJECTIVES To compare the effect of manual therapy to exercise therapy in sick-listed patients with chronic low back pain (>8 wks). SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND DATA The effect of exercise therapy and manual therapy on chronic low back pain with respect to pain, function, and sick leave have been investigated in a num...
