Injectable antiretroviral therapy: best practice guide for nurses providing care to people living with HIV.

Oral antiretroviral therapy (ART) is extremely effective, allowing people living with HIV to have a normal life expectancy. Most treatments consist of oral tablets that must be taken at the same time every day for the rest of an individual's life. For a variety of reasons, some people cannot adhere to a daily regimen, resulting in a deterioration in their health.

EPOC Comparison Between Resistance Training and High-Intensity Interval Training in Aerobically Fit Women.

Previous research has shown that various modes of exercise may elicit significant increases in resting metabolism for up to 24 hours post-exercise, but typically using untrained or moderately active subjects. The purpose of the present study was to compare excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) between circuit-style resistance training (RT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in young, aerobically fit women. During the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, seven participants reported to the laboratory for evening and morning baseline resting metabolic rate (RMR) measurements via indirect calorimetry.

Assessment of Arm Lean Mass, Fat Mass, and Bone Mineral Density in Breast Cancer Survivors Without Lymphedema.

Objectives: To compare lean mass, fat mass, and bone mineral density (BMD) in the affected arm (the arm on the side where breast cancer was present) and unaffected arm of breast cancer survivors without lymphedema.

Sample & Setting: 38 breast cancer survivors who had completed primary treatment were included in this analysis at a university in Florida.

Methods & Variables: Arm lean mass, fat mass, and BMD were obtained using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry.

High-dose vitamin D administration and resistance exercise training attenuate the progression of obesity and improve skeletal muscle function in obese p62-deficient mice.

Vitamin D (VitD) possesses antiadipogenic and ergogenic properties that could be effective to counteract obesity-related adverse health consequences. Therefore, our overall hypothesis was that VitD could ameliorate obesity-induced insulin resistance, systemic inflammation, and loss of skeletal muscle mass and function in an obesity animal model, p62-deficient mice. Furthermore, it was hypothesized that resistance exercise training (RT) could enhance the benefits of VitD by upregulating protein expression of vitamin D receptor in skeletal muscle.
