Objective: The recent study aimed to investigate the effects of chronic aerobic activity on the plasma levels of orexin A, leptin, glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance in males with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: Twenty subjects randomly assigned into control and experimental groups, involving 10 people in each group. Exercise protocol consisted of eight session aerobic exercise...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of fibronectin (FN) and tenascin (TN) after direct pulp capping (DPC) in dogs' teeth with either mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Propolis or Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), by means of immunohistochemistry. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 48 sound molars and premolars with mature apices from four dogs, were included. The ...

Background Quantifying the strength of the intrinsic foot muscles has been a challenge for clinicians and researchers. The reliable measurement of this strength is important in order to assess weakness, which may contribute to a variety of functional issues in the foot and lower leg, including plantar fasciitis and hallux valgus. This study reports 3 novel methods for measuring foot strength - ...

Stimulation protocols for denervated muscles distribute the generated contractions either within treatment sessions followed by hours of rest, or repeated 24 h per day with each contraction followed by a constant interval of rest. Our purpose was to directly compare the effects of the same number of identically generated contractions having different temporal daily distributions. For 5 weeks in...

background: daily administration of thyroxine has proven efficacy in treatment of children with hypothyroidism. however, the possibility of treatment with longer dosing intervals that offers flexibility and choice in maintaining euthyroid state has not been tested in children. objectives: to study the efficacy of an alternate day regimen to maintain euthyroidism in children with congenital hypo...

OBJECTIVE We introduced a new visually controlled tracking task that can be assessed on a handheld device in shift workers to evaluate time-of-day dependent modulations in visuomotor performance. BACKGROUND Tracking tasks have been used to predict performance fluctuations depending on time of day mainly under laboratory conditions. One challenge to an extended use at the actual working site i...
