Effects of an Exercise and Lifestyle Education Program in Brazilians living with prediabetes or diabetes: study protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled trial.
Trials
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to determine if adding lifestyle education to a physical exercise program improves various health outcomes for individuals with prediabetes or diabetes compared to exercise alone, focusing on areas like functional capacity, disease knowledge, and quality of life.
- - It is a multicenter, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial lasting 12 weeks, followed by a 6-month assessment, involving adults who meet specific health criteria and are recruited from two Brazilian cities.
- - Outcomes being measured include improvements in health behaviors, cardiometabolic health parameters, depression, and diet quality, alongside the primary outcomes of functional capacity and disease-related knowledge.
We propose a construction of generalized cuts of Feynman integrals as an operation on the domain of the Feynman parametric integral. A set of on-shell conditions removes the corresponding boundary components of the integration domain, in favor of including a boundary component from the second Symanzik polynomial. Hence integration domains are full-dimensional spaces with finite volumes, rather than being localized around poles.

Purpose: To assess the effects of exercise training parameters on cardiorespiratory fitness of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: This systematic review was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42020210470). Searches were performed on PubMed, PEDro EMBASE, MEDLINE (Ovid), LILACS, PsycINFO, SCIELO, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library.
This research investigates the biodegradation of perchlorate in the presence of the co-contaminants nitrate and chlorate using soluble and slow-release carbon sources. In addition, the impact of bio-augmentation and dilution, which results in lower total dissolved salts (TDS) and contaminant levels, is examined. Laboratory microcosms were conducted using actual groundwater and soils from a contaminated aquifer.

This cross-sectional study evaluated the perception of individuals with prediabetes/diabetes about their living conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic to identify the facilitators, barriers, and reasons to remain physically active at home and adhere to recommended exercise. It included individuals with prediabetes/diabetes who had completed an exercise intervention, which started on-site and moved to a remote home-based regime due to the COVID-19 pandemic and were advised to keep exercising at home. The outcomes were assessed by a bespoke questionnaire that was developed by the research team, the Brazilian Portuguese adapted version of the Exercise Adherence Rating scale, and the Motives for Physical Activity Measure-Revised scale.
