Inspiratory pressure waveform influences time to failure, respiratory muscle fatigue, and metabolism during resistive breathing

Abstract Increased ventilatory work beyond working capacity of the respiratory muscles can induce fatigue, resulting in limited respiratory muscle endurance (Tlim). Previous resistive breathing investigations all applied square wave inspira...

Compounds of Marine Origin with Possible Applications as Healing Agents

It is well established that marine organisms consist of a great variety of active compounds that appear exclusively in the marine environment while having the ability to be vastly reproduced, irrespective of the existing conditions. As a re...

Improving Diabetes Management With Mobile Health Technology

Health technology and primary health care

Displacement and Emplacement of Health Technology

The provision of “closer-to-patient” services has increased in most industrialized countries. However, the migration of services in non-traditional health care settings implies redefining the role of technical and human entities and transfo...

Instruments measuring the quality of life among people living with type 2 diabetes mellitus in India: a systematic review protocol

Introduction Type 2 diabetes mellitus affects an individual’s quality of life (QoL); and there are multiple instruments that can be used to measure QoL. The purpose of this systematic review is to identify the existing instruments that have...

Innovative polymer-based electrochemical platform for detecting ESAT-6 in human blood for pulmonary tuberculosis diagnosis

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), necessitates early diagnosis for effective patient care. Despite advancements in TB diagnostics, there remains an urgent need to discover innovative non-sputum-based m...

Tangible User Interface for Social Interactions for the Elderly: A Review of Literature

The global population is ageing rapidly. The ageing population faces not only the risk of health-related problems but also the challenge of social isolation and loneliness. While mainstream technology is designed to improve daily life, elde...

Mapping the acute trajectory of sport-related concussion outcomes across symptoms, cognition, and blood biomarkers

Sport-related concussion (SRC) and its potential neurological sequela represent an emerging global health concern, requiring improved recovery management and strategies for return-to-play (RTP) to enhance brain health in athletes. Given the...

Antimicrobial compound from Trichoderma harzianum, an endophytic fungus associated with ginger (Zingiber officinale)

Background: Genus Trichoderma of fungal kingdom are largely used as biological control agents due to broad-spectrum activity against plant pathogens. Objective: This study aimed to investigate Trichoderma harzianum, an endophytic fungus obt...

Establishment of two human induced pluripotent stem cell lines from familial long QT syndrome type 1 patients carrying KCNQ1 mutation

Long QT syndrome type 1 (LQT1) is a rare heart disorder caused by a loss-of-function mutation in the KCNQ1 gene that causes loss of Kv7.1 channel function, which can lead to Palpitations, Syncope, and Sudden cardiac arrest. We derived induc...

Mangifera Indica leaf extracts promote hair growth via activation of Wnt signaling pathway in human dermal papilla cells

The crosstalk between androgens and Wnt signaling pathways is critical in the hair growth cycle. Therefore, natural products that target these two pathways for the inhibition of hair loss are sought after. In this study, we investigated the...
