Changes in a number of respiration and circulation parameters during magnetic storms of varying intensity were analyzed in 126 normal humans belonging to two age groups: 19-21 yr. old young men and women (29 of each) and 51-53 yr. old men (n = 36) and women (n = 32). Geomagnetic components D, H and Z were used. Systolic pressure, respiration volume, minute respiration volume and peak expiration rate were shown to be the most labile characteristics of the cardiorespiratory system responding by increases on magnetodisturbed days. The parameters under study exhibited sexual and age differences equally on quiescent and magnetodisturbed days. Adaptation to growing tension of the magnetic field of Earth involves the neuroendocrine system and manifests itself by activation of the sympathetic nervous system entailing relative shifts in the cardiorespiratory parameters under study.

Cardiac stereotactic body radiotherapy is a promising noninvasive treatment for patients with refractory ventricular tachycardia. With the aim to prove feasibility of a novel image guided radiotherapy and heart motion gating device, cardiac proton radiotherapy was performed using a porcine model. Using a novel adaptation of γ - H2AX tissue staining techniques, we have been able to localize a radiation beam in large animal tissue to assess targeting accuracy within a defined field.

Alterations in energy metabolism may drive fatigue in older age, but prior research primarily focused on skeletal muscle energetics without assessing other systems, and utilized self-reported measures of fatigue. We tested the association between energy metabolism in the brain and an objective measure of fatigability in the Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging (N=119, age 76.8±4.

Epilepsy is characterized by neuronal discharges that occur as a result of disruption of the excitatory and inhibitory balance of the brain due to functional and structural changes. It has been shown in the literature that this neurological disorder may be related to the expression of ion channels. Any defect in the function or expression mechanism of these channels can lead to various neuronal disorders such as epilepsy.

Introduction: The maximal fat oxidation (MFO) and the exercise intensity that provokes MFO (FATMAX) are inversely associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in healthy young sedentary adults. However, how both cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) level and sex influence MFO during exercise and the FATMAX is seldom analyzed.

Objectives: This study is aimed at determining the influence of CRF and sex on MFO.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the acute effects of beetroot extract and resveratrol supplementation (isolated and combined) on cardiac autonomic modulation and cardiovascular parameters recovery after exercise in individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods: 14 males with CAD were submitted to 4 protocols consisting of 30 min (min) of rest, 30 min of aerobic exercise on a treadmill (60% of the heart rate reserve HRR), followed by 30 min of recovery. Before each protocol, the subjects consumed 500 mg of starch (placebo protocol), 500 mg of beetroot (beetroot protocol), or 500 mg of resveratrol (resveratrol protocol), or 500 mg of beetroot and 500 mg of resveratrol (combined protocol).
