Feasibility and Exploratory Outcomes of Foot‐Ankle and Walking Exercises for Diabetic Neuropathy, Stress, and Quality of Life: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Research in Nursing &Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Foot–ankle and walking exercises have been proposed as potential strategies for managing symptoms in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), yet evidence from primary care remains limited. This pilot study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of these interventions and explored preliminary outcome patterns in DPN, stress, and ...

Advanced glycation end-products, measured as skin autofluorescence, associate with vascular stiffness in diabetic, pre-diabetic and normoglycemic individuals: a cross-sectional study

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2021
Background Advanced glycation end-products are proteins that become glycated after contact with sugars and are implicated in endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffening.

Factors Affecting Surgical Outcomes Following Rotationplasty in Paediatric Sarcoma: A Literature Review

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Rotationplasty is a durable limb‐salvage option for paediatric lower‐limb sarcoma. Across 58 studies and 1,217 patients, long‐term functional, psychosocial, and quality‐of‐life outcomes were favourable, often surpassing amputation and endoprosthetic reconstruction.

Associations of skeletal muscle mass and strength with arterial stiffness in type 2 diabetes

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Lower skeletal muscle mass and lower handgrip strength were associated with higher arterial stiffness in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Assessment of both parameters may provide complementary information regarding vascular risk. ABSTRACT Sarcopenia is prevalent in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and may contribute to increased ...

Impaired Windkessel function and proximal aortic stiffness: Linking vascular ageing to cognitive decline

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central arterial stiffening, particularly of the proximal aorta, is increasingly recognised as a pivotal contributor to cardiovascular disease, dementia, and mild cognitive impairment. Loss of Windkessel function amplifies pulsatile pressure, reduces diastolic perfusion and accelerates microvascular damage in the brain.

Vascular, inflammatory and perceptual responses to hot water immersion: Impacts of water depth and temperature in young healthy adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Repeated hot water immersion can improve cardiovascular health; however, the respective effects of distinct immersion protocols remain unclear. Twenty‐two healthy adults completed three 30‐min hot water immersion bouts of different water temperatures and immersion depths (40°C shoulder‐deep immersion, 40‐Shoulder; 42°C waist‐deep immersion, 42‐

Normative data of Ankle brachial pressure Index and Toe brachial index in normal healthy male adult using fully automated vascular Doppler

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2023
Context: Peripheral vascular disease affects some 12%–14% of the general population, and the majority of people with the disease are asymptomatic. Risk factors for it are smoking, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, and syndrome X ...

Eight weeks of post‐exercise local heating does not improve cognition and plasma brain‐derived neurotrophic factor concentrations

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise and heat stress have been reported to independently provide benefits to brain health. We tested the hypothesis that 8 weeks of post‐exercise local heating, passive local heating only, or exercise training only improves cognitive performance compared to a control group.

The effects of uninterrupted and interrupted sitting on blood pressure and arterial stiffness in patients with established coronary heart disease

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sedentary behaviour is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In healthy adults, prolonged uninterrupted sitting acutely increases blood pressure (BP) and aortic stiffness; however, these effects can be mitigated with light physical activity interruptions.
