Effects of Whole-Body Electromyostimulation on the Thickness of Appendicular and Respiratory Muscles, Functionality, and Frailty in Patients From a Transitional Care Unit: A Randomized Clinical Trial Protocol. [PDF]

Physiother Res Int
ABSTRACT Background Frailty is highly prevalent among recently hospitalized adults and is associated with functional decline, dependency, and increased mortality. Although conventional physiotherapy is routinely applied in transitional care settings, its effectiveness may be limited in frail individuals with low tolerance to exercise.

Recent advances of non‐invasive sensors for smart wearable respiratory monitoring

VIEW, EarlyView.
Respiration contains rich physiological and pathological information, making it one of the most fundamental and continuous vital signs. Respiration monitoring is a non‐invasive and simple, but incredibly powerful, tool for assessing health, managing disease, and tracking fitness.

Congenital aniridia: European COST action ANIRIDIA‐NET guidelines for diagnosis, management and care

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Congenital aniridia is a rare ocular disorder affecting the majority of eye structures and can be associated with systemic manifestations. The main visible phenotypic characteristic is the partial or complete absence of the iris; however, foveal hypoplasia is a more frequent and reliable clinical sign. Other ocular comorbidities are associated

TNF‐α partially modulates the endothelial dysfunction during the acute phase of Trypanosoma cruzi infection

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Whereas the effects of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) infection are well‐characterised in the heart, its impact on the vasculature has received little attention. In this study, we investigated the effects of acute and chronic T. cruzi infection on vascular responsiveness and the underlying mechanisms.

Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...
