Functional performance in the modified shuttle test in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis
(Sociedade De Pediatria De Sao Paulo, 2021)
Objective: To evaluate factors associated with the performance of children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CF) in the Modified Shuttle Test (MST) and compare it with healthy children and adolescents. ...
Exploring the expression of pro-inflammatory and hypoxia-related MicroRNA-20a, MicroRNA-30e, and MicroRNA-93 in periodontitis and gingival mesenchymal stem cells under hypoxia
(MDPI, 2022)
Hypoxia associated with inflammation are common hallmarks observed in several diseases, and it plays a major role in the expression of non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs). In addition, the ...
Feasibility of performing the 3-minute step test with remote supervision in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis: A comparative study
(Pediatric Investigation, 2024)
Importance: The 3-min step test is a simple option to monitor submaximal exercise capacity, although its use via remote video monitoring has not been investigated in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). ...
Enhancing reporting through structure: a before and after study on the effectiveness of SPIRIT-based templates to improve the completeness of reporting of randomized controlled trial protocols
(Springer Nature, 2024)
Background: Despite the improvements in the completeness of reporting of randomized trial protocols after the publication of the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trial (SPIRIT) ...
Immediate effects of TECAR therapy on gastrocnemius and quadriceps muscles with spastic hypertonia in chronic stroke survivors: a randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2023)
Background: The aim of this study was to assess changes in muscle properties after a single session of capacitive and resistive energetic transfer (TECAR) therapy on spastic gastrocnemius and quadriceps ...
Influence of core-stability exercises guided by a telerehabilitation app on trunk performance, balance and gait performance in chronic stroke survivors: a preliminary randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2022)
Stroke is one of the main causes of disability. Telerehabilitation could face the growing demand and a good strategy for post-stroke rehabilitation. The aim of this study is to examine the possible ...
Assessment of the 4-meter walk test test-retest reliability and concurrent validity and its correlation with the five sit-to-stand test in chronic ambulatory stroke survivors
(Elsevier, 2023)
Background: The 4-meter walk test (4-MWT) is a widely used measure to assess gait speed in the elderly but has not been validated for stroke survivors to date. Objectives: To assess the test-retest ...
Telerehabilitation for balance rehabilitation in the subacute stage of stroke: a pilot controlled trial
(IOS Press, 2022)
BACKGROUND:Telerehabilitation has been proposed as an effective strategy to deliver post-stroke specific exercise. OBJECTIVE:To assess the effectiveness and feasibility of core stability exercises guided ...
Genetic and clinical heterogeneity in thirteen new cases with aceruloplasminemia. Atypical anemia as a clue for an early diagnosis
(MDPI, 2020)
Aceruloplasminemia is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease characterized by mild microcytic anemia, diabetes, retinopathy, liver disease, and progressive neurological symptoms due to iron accumulation ...
The use of next-generation sequencing in the diagnosis of rare inherited anaemias: a joint BSH/EHA good practice paper
(John Wiley & Sons, 2022)
The British Society for Haematology (BSH) produces Good Practice Papers to recommend good practice in areas where there is a limited evidence base but for which a degree of consensus or uniformity is ...
