Background: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of intradialytic cycling exercise on quality of life (QOL) and recovery time in patients who underwent hemodialysis.
Materials And Methods: Hemodialysis patients were recruited from the referral dialysis centers affiliated with Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran. Patients were randomly assigned into the intervention and the control groups. Patients in the intervention group exercised on a stationary bike for 12 weeks (3 times per week for 30 min); however, patients in the control group received usual hemodialysis. The kidney disease QOL (KDQOL)-short-form version 1.3 was used to assess QOL. Patients were asked to answer the question "How long does it take to recover from a dialysis session?" to assess recovery time.
Results: A total of 110 hemodialysis patients, including 60 in the intervention group and 50 in the control group were analyzed. A significant increase was observed in the generic (mean difference ± SE: 1.50 ± 0.44, = 0.001), kidney disease (mean difference ± SE: 0.84 ± 0.28, = 0.004), and overall QOL (mean difference ± SE: 1.18 ± 0.33, = 0.001) scores after 12 weeks of intradialytic cycling exercise in the intervention group. Furthermore, a significant difference was noted between the intervention and the control group regarding the mean difference of all QOL scores after the intervention ( < 0.05). We also found a significant difference in the mean difference of recovery time between the intervention and the control group after the intervention ( < 0.001).
Conclusion: KDQOL and recovery time could improve in hemodialysis patients after 12-week intradialytic exercise.

Background: A new paradigm of hybrid working exists, with most office workers sharing their work between the office and home office environment. Working from home increases time spent or prolonged sitting, which is associated with an increased risk of chronic disease. Interventions to reduce sitting time, specifically designed for both the office and home-office environments, are required to address this growing public health issue.

Background: Liver transplantation (LT) is a critical intervention for individuals with end-stage liver disease; yet, post-transplant problems, especially infections, graft rejection, and chronic liver disease, are often linked to systemic inflammation. Cytokines, small signaling molecules, significantly influence immune responses during and post-liver transplantation. Nonetheless, the intricate relationships among cytokines, immune responses, and the gut microbiota, especially gut dysbiosis, are still inadequately comprehended.

The present study aimed to characterize the behavior and evaluate the electromyographic (EMG), electrocardiographic (ECG), and respiratory responses of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) when exposed to different concentrations of Camphor (CPR) as a potential anaesthetic in immersion and recovery baths. The goal was to determine the impact of CPR on muscle, cardiac, and respiratory functions, and assess its suitability as an anesthetic for tilapia. Therefore, juvenile fish (38.
