The aim of this study was to determine the effects High-intensity interval training (HIIT) on quality life in healthy young people (YNG) and older adults (OLD)and its correlation with physical health status (anthropometric parameters lower limb functionality) YNG (21 ? 2 years, BMI 26.37 2.69 n = 12) OLD (67 5 27.16 3.04 groups underwent 12weeks HIIT. Before after HIIT, anthropometric assessmen...

Inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin, mTOR, extends lifespan and reduces age-related disease. It is not known what role mTOR plays in the arterial aging phenotype or if mTOR inhibition by dietary rapamycin ameliorates age-related arterial dysfunction. To explore this, young (3.8 ± 0.6 months) and old (30.3 ± 0.2 months) male B6D2F1 mice were fed a rapamycin supplemented or control diet f...

In this study, the relationship among four species of Polygonum (including P. hyrcanicum (three samples), P. persicaria, P. avicular, and P. hydropiper) was investigated by GC profiling. Furthermore, the major compounds of the ethylic ether extract of P. hyrcanicum were identified by GC/MS as: α-bisabolol (17.5%), cedrol (15.9%), sesquisabinene hydra...

OBJECTIVES The primary aims of this study were to characterize glycemic control and pharmacologic management in older patients and to compare glycemic control and pharmacological management in patients 65 to 79 years of age ("young-old") with those 80 to 89 years of age ("old-old"). We hypothesized that patients 80 to 89 years of age would be prescribed fewer medications and would have higher A...

Poly-amidoxime ligand was synthesized on the cellulose isolated from millet husk through a graft copolymerization process for adsorption of Cu (II) ion aqueous solution. The functional group, thermal degradation and morphology adsorbent were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), gravimetric analysis (TGA) scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. FTIR results showed that gr...

as a consequence of industrial development, the environment is increasingly polluted with heavy metals. Plants possess homeostatic mechanisms that allow them to keep correct concentrations of essential metal ions in cellular compartments and to minimize the damaging effects of an excess of nonessential ones. one of their adverse effects on plants is the generation of harmful active oxygen speci...

BACKGROUND Elderly patients have more special medical needs when compared with young ones; thus, the results of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for acetabular fractures should be stratified by age in these patients. This study seeks to determine whether the age of the patient influences the results of the ORIF for acetabular fractures. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis...
