Positioning combined with coughing and huffing is frequently used to promote secretion clearance. Maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) have been used as surrogate measures of cough and huff strength. This study investigated the effect of body position on MEP and PEFR. Repeated measures of MEP and PEFR were performed across seven randomised positions (standing, ...
Although spaceflight and bed rest are known to cause muscular atrophy in the antigravity muscles of the legs, the changes in sympathetic and cardiovascular responses to exercises using the atrophied muscles remain unknown. We hypothesized that bed rest would augment sympathetic responses to isometric exercise using antigravity leg muscles in humans. Ten healthy male volunteers were subjected to...
OBJECTIVE Although the theoretical attractions of the elevated rim are obvious and have been widely accepted as a mean to improve the postoperative stability, the clinical advantages have not been demonstrated. The aim of this study is to further evaluate the elevated liners contribution to stability. METHODS Forty-six patients with 50 hips undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) were...
background and objectives: constant monitoring of healthcare organizations’ performance is an integral part of informed health policy-making. several hospital performance assessment methods have been proposed in the literature. pabon lasso model offers a fast and convenient method for comparative evaluation of hospital performance. this study aimed to evaluate the relative performance of hospit...
This study tested the hypothesis that cardiovascular and hormonal responses to lower body negative pressure (LBNP) would be altered by 4-h head down bed rest (HDBR) in 11 healthy young men. In post-HDBR testing, three subjects failed to finish the protocol due to presyncopal symptoms, heart rate was increased during LBNP compared with pre-HDBR, mean arterial blood pressure was elevated at 0, -1...
OBJECTIVES To evaluate head-of-bed elevation (HOBE) compliance in mechanically ventilated (MV) patients during different time periods, in order to identify factors that may influence compliance and to compare direct-observation compliance with checklist-reported compliance. DESIGN AND SETTING A prospective observational study was carried out in a polyvalent Intensive Care Unit. PATIENTS All...
We report results from a study designed to explore the utility of artificial gravity (AG) as a countermeasure to bone loss induced by microgravity simulation. After baseline testing, 15 male subjects underwent 21 days of 6 degrees head-down bed rest to simulate the deconditioning associated with spaceflight. Eight of the subjects underwent 1 h of centrifugation (AG; 1 G(z) at the heart, 2.5 G(z...
Long-term bed-rest is used to simulate the effect of spaceflight on the human body and test different kinds of countermeasures. The 2nd Berlin BedRest Study (BBR2-2) tested the efficacy of whole-body vibration in addition to high-load resisitance exercise in preventing bone loss during bed-rest. Here we present the protocol of the study and discuss its implementation. Twenty-four male subjects ...
The purpose of this study was to directly assess sex differences in bone loss, bone biochemistry, and renal stone risk in bed rest. Bed rest simulates some spaceflight effects on human physiology and can be used to address the potential existence of sex-specific effects on bone metabolism and renal stone risk in space. We combined data from the control subjects in five head-down-tilt bed rest s...
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 2014 and 2016, thenar fascial flaps and nail bed grafts were used in five patients. All the patients had full-thickness nail bed defects due to machines or door jamming incidents, and the sizes of the defects were more than half of the whole nail bed. We designed the flaps as general thenar flaps, performed suprafascial dissection, and elevated the dermal flaps pr...
