Impaired Cardiovascular Parameters in Resistance Training Practitioners Who Take Ergogenic Aids.
J Cardiovasc Dev Dis
March 2023
Background: Although there are studies on blood pressure (BP) and autonomic cardiac control (ACC) impairments caused by ergogenic aids, research has scarcely addressed this analysis during sleep. This study analyzed BP and ACC during sleep and wake periods in three groups of resistance training (RT) practitioners: ergogenic aid non-users, thermogenic supplement (TS) self-users, and anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) self-users.
Methods: RT practitioners were selected for the Control Group (CG; = 15), TS self-users Group (TSG; = 15), and AAS self-users Group (AASG; = 15).
A validation study of a smartphone application for heart rate variability assessment in asymptomatic adults.
Am J Cardiovasc Dis
August 2020
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the effectiveness of a smartphone app for measuring heart rate variability (HRV) by comparing its results with those from a standard electrocardiogram (ECG).
- Fifteen healthy adults participated in the study, where both devices recorded R-R intervals (RRi) during different postures, showing nearly perfect correlation for the data collected.
- The findings indicated that the smartphone app is a valid tool for assessing HRV, with slight measurement biases, demonstrating its potential for non-invasive cardiac monitoring.
Low level laser therapy (AlGaInP) applied at 5J/cm2 reduces the proliferation of Staphylococcus aureus MRSA in infected wounds and intact skin of rats.
An Bras Dermatol
December 2013
Background: Laser therapy is a low cost, non-invasive procedure with good healing results. Doubts exist as to whether laser therapy action on microorganisms can justify research aimed at investigating its possible effects on bacteria-infected wounds.
Objective: To assess the effect of low intensity laser on the rate of bacterial contamination in infected wounds in the skin of rats.
