Objectives: Hand function is critical for daily life and work, especially with the use of electronic devices. This study determined the effect of mirror therapy in individuals with asymmetrical hand function. Method: Forty-two men with asymmetrical hand function were recruited. All participants were randomly divided into two groups: sham control (n = 21) and mirror therapy (n = 21). Both group...

Objective(s): It seems that regular exercise can have inhibitory effects on the progression of breast cancer. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the influences of interval aerobic training on mesenchymal biomarker gene expression, muscle cachexia, and tumor volume changes in mice with breast cancer.Materials and Methods: Thirty-...

  Muscle tissue, skeletal muscle as well as cardiac muscle, is commonly affected in mitochondrial disorders. One explanation for this observation is that muscle tissue has a high-energy demand and therefore is more sensitive to a deficiency of mitochondrial energy production than some other tissues. In mitochondrial disorders, skeletal muscle tissue may be affected primarily by defective respi...

channelopathies are disturbances of the cellular membrane channels function. ion channels are actually membrane-bound proteins that perform key functions in virtually all human cells. these channels play pivotal role in the function of excitable tissues such as muscle and nerve. so channelopathies are diverse clinical entities involving many organs and systems (i.e., endocrine, respiratory, gas...

artificial neural networks are used in many smart apparatus and different fields such as signal processing pattern diagnoses, military systems, medicine, financial systems, and artificial intelligence. in this article using quality of neural networks in optimizing energy cost in moving limb and its effectiveness in organization a cognitive function founded by presenting an algorithm for use in ...
