Mild hypohydration in healthy older adults increases pain-related brain activity without affecting pain perception: A single-blind study.

Understanding how hydration status influences pain perception is particularly important in older adults, as both dehydration and pain are prevalent in this population. Ten individuals (70 ± 4 years) completed two randomized and counterbalanced trials. They were exposed to passive heat until they lost 1% body mass through sweat and urine (~ 100 min), with the loss either unreplaced (sham infusion, HYPO) or fully replaced via 0.

Long-term impact of a community-based adapted boxing program on physical functioning and quality of life of individuals with Parkinson's disease.

Background: Adapted boxing can help improve the physical functioning and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Whether these benefits persist longitudinally is unclear.

Objective: The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the impact of a community-based adapted boxing program on the physical functioning and HRQoL of individuals with PD over 1-1.

Operative Treatment of Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injury in Female Athletes.

Background: Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction has been the standard surgical intervention for elite male athletes with UCL insufficiency. Recently, UCL repair and augmentation with an internal brace has been increasingly performed.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes as well as return-to-sport rate after UCL repair in female athletes.

Medial elbow injuries in the throwing athlete.

There has been an epidemic increase in injuries to the elbow in our youth sports over the past 15 years. Initially, career-ending elbow injuries occurred almost exclusively in the professional population. The landmark procedure developed by Dr.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Nuclear Imaging of Parkinsonian Disorders: Where do we go from here?

Parkinsonian disorders are a heterogeneous group of incurable neurodegenerative diseases that significantly reduce quality of life and constitute a substantial economic burden. Nuclear imaging (NI) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have played and continue to play a key role in research aimed at understanding and monitoring these disorders. MRI is cheaper, more accessible, nonirradiating, and better at measuring biological structures and hemodynamics than NI.
