The influence of prehabilitation in patients with liver cirrhosis before liver transplantation: a randomized clinical trial.

Background: The high prevalence of liver cirrhosis in Slovakia leads to a great need for transplant treatment. The outcome of liver transplantation is influenced by several factors.

Aim: The main objective of this study is to test the effectiveness of prehabilitation compared to standard of care.

Yoga Breathing (Maheshwarananda's Modified Bhujangini Pranayama): A Randomized Study in Hypobaric Hypoxemia at 3,650 m Elevation.

Hypobaric hypoxemia represents a risk factor for body integrity and challenges its homeostasis. We examined whether practicing Maheshwarananda's modified bhujangini pranayama yoga breathing technique would influence hypobaric hypoxemia at an altitude of 3,650 m. An international randomized two-period, two-sequence crossover intervention study was conducted in September 2019 in the Himalayas.

Yogic breathing in hypobaric environment: breathing exercising and its effect on hypobaric hypoxemia and heart rate at 3,650-m elevation.

High altitude sojourn is a risk factor for hypobaric hypoxemia and subsequent altitude sickness. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of new type of yogic breathing-Maheshwarananda's new Modified Bhujangini Pranayama performed by active yoga practitioners-on the arterial haemoglobin saturation of oxygen (measured by the pulse oximetry - SpO) and the heart rate compared to normal spontaneous resting breathing. A pilot prospective study was conducted in the Himalayas at an altitude of 3,650 m.
