Frailty and deconditioning on the acute take [PDF]
Clinical MedicineIt is well known that older patients have a higher incidence of adverse hospital outcomes, such as inpatient falls, delirium and longer lengths of stay, and that older people are likely to become deconditioned during their time in hospital.

Multi-System Deconditioning in 3-Day Dry Immersion without Daily Raise [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Dry immersion (DI) is a Russian-developed, ground-based model to study the physiological effects of microgravity. It accurately reproduces environmental conditions of weightlessness, such as enhanced physical inactivity, suppression of hydrostatic ...

Effects of astaxanthin on gut microbiota of polo ponies during deconditioning and reconditioning periods [PDF]
Physiological ReportsTo determine the effects of astaxanthin (ASTX) supplementation on the equine gut microbiota during a deconditioning–reconditioning cycle, 12 polo ponies were assigned to a control (CON; n = 6) or supplemented (ASTX; 75 mg ASTX daily orally; n = 6) group.

A qualitative study exploring the lived experiences of deconditioning in hospital in Ontario, Canada [PDF]
BMC Geriatrics, 2021 Background Older adults, especially those with physical and social complexities are at risk of hospital-associated deconditioning. Hospital-associated deconditioning is linked to increased length of stay in hospital, stress, and readmission rates.

Effects of an astaxanthin‐containing supplement on oxidative status in skeletal muscle and circulation during deconditioning and reconditioning periods in polo ponies [PDF]
Physiological ReportsThis study investigated the effects of astaxanthin (ASTX) supplementation on oxidative status during a deconditioning‐reconditioning cycle. Twelve polo ponies were assigned to no supplementation (CON) or an ASTX supplemented group, which received oral ...

Impacting patient-centred outcomes in COPD: deconditioning [PDF]
European Respiratory Review, 2006 Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently suffer from exercise intolerance, leading to a reduced ability to participate in activities of daily life and, therefore, to a reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
