A Perfect Match: health, Hippocrates and lifestyle medicine
Amid the frustration and despair associated with rising premiums, healthcare costs and obesity prevalence, is a trend that is slowly infiltrating the healthcare industry. Although some of the most notable trends (in fitness and nutrition) tend to come and go as quickly as a fastball (World Series, anyone?), this particular trend has an immense amount of staying power based on current scientific research. This immense power has little to do with pharmacological interventions and prescription refills and much more to do with our feet, forks, fingers and minds. This trend, as written in a recent article by the influential and...

How to Maximize Your Yoga Calorie Burn
By Kristen Domonell for Life by Daily Burn Photo: Pond5 When considering a yoga class, the benefits of stress relief and stretching probably come to mind, more so than sweating and torching calories. But you can say Namaste to a serious heart-pumping workout with just a few tweaks to your flow. In fact, new research from the American College of Sports Medicine proves that sun salutations can count as your vigorous exercise for the week — as long as you push yourself through some powerful poses and add in a little strength training. Learn what actually counts as high-intensity exercise and why it's so important to ...

EP 84. Motor control and learning strategy for efficient neurorehabilitation
Parkinson ’s, stroke, and other neurological diseases may significantly affect the control of voluntary, ballistic-like movements that normally are performed automatically and optimally as regards position accuracy, energy expenditure and movement execution time. The control functions (neural signals to mus cles) are to be re-learnt and re-optimised with respect to these performance indices. In our study, a natural approach for efficient motor learning in goal-directed motion tasks, incl. walking is proposed.

EP 3. Impact of energy expenditure and cognitive function on long- term outcome after stroke
Stroke leads to lesion-induced deficits like hemiparesis and aphasia. Furthermore patients suffer from low aerobic endurance and high energy expenditure of walking as well as from cognitive decline. Motor and Activity of daily living (ADL) rehabilitation might be negatively impacted by these factors. Here, our aim was to evaluate how (a) energy expenditure of walking and (b) cognitive function in the subacute phase after stroke correlate to long-term outcomes (gait speed, activities of daily life).

One Hour of Exercise Can Offset Prolonged Sitting
A typical day for many people includes at least 8 hours of sitting - driving to work, sitting in an office, driving home, and watching TV. An international study of more than 1 million people shows that one hour of moderate physical activity can eliminate the health risks associated with sedentary behavior. The study forms the first part of a four-paper series published by The Lancet that provides an overview and update of worldwide trends of physical activity and the global impact of physical inactivity. The first series observing physical activity was released in 2012 ahead of the Summer Olympic Games. The study autho...

Phospholipase C-related catalytically inactive protein can regulate obesity, a state of peripheral inflammation
Publication date: Available online 27 June 2016 Source:Japanese Dental Science Review Author(s): Yosuke Yamawaki, Kana Oue, Satomi Shirawachi, Satoshi Asano, Kae Harada, Takashi Kanematsu Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation. Chronic inflammation in fat influences the development of obesity-related diseases. Many reports state that obesity increases the risk of morbidity in many diseases, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea, and breast, prostate and colon cancers, leading to increased mortality. Obesity is also associated with ch...

Wingbeat kinematics and energetics during weightlifting in hovering hummingbirds across an elevational gradient
Abstract Hummingbirds differentially modify flight kinematics in response to the type of challenge imposed. Weightlifting is associated with increases in stroke amplitude (the angle swept by the wings) to increase the angular velocity of the wings and generate the requisite lift, but only up to 160°. Conversely, flight in hypodense air is accomplished by increasing the angular velocity of the wing through increases in wingbeat frequency and stroke amplitudes, with larger increases in amplitude than seen in weightlifting flight. The kinematic differences between these two challenges may be facilitated by the lower...

Exome sequencing in Thai patients with familial obesity.
Abstract Obesity is a major worldwide health issue, with increasing prevalence in adults and children from developed and developing countries. Obesity causes several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, osteoarthritis, hypertension, stroke, type II diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, and several types of cancer. Previous genome-wide association studies have identified several genes associated with obesity, including LEP, LEPR, POMC, PCSK1, FTO, MC3R, MC4R, GNPDA2, TMEM18, QPCTL/GIPR, BDNF, ETV5, MAP2K5/SKOR1, SEC16B, SIM1, and TNKS/MSRA. However, most of these variants are found in t...

Update on atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and accounts for one-third of hospitalizations for rhythm disorders in the United States [1]. Atrial fibrillation is of public health importance and profoundly increases morbidity, mortality, and health-related expenditures. Morbidities include outcomes such as heart failure, stroke and the deleterious effects on quality of life (QOL), functional status, and cognition. In the United States and Western Europe, the aging population and the accompanying rise in the prevalence of AF have magnified its toll on morbidity and healthcare costs.

Averaged Propulsive Body Acceleration (APBA) Can Be Calculated from Biologging Tags That Incorporate Gyroscopes and Accelerometers to Estimate Swimming Speed, Hydrodynamic Drag and Energy Expenditure for Steller Sea Lions
by Colin Ware, Andrew W. Trites, David A. S. Rosen, Jean Potvin Forces due to propulsion should approximate forces due to hydrodynamic drag for animals horizontally swimming at a constant speed with negligible buoyancy forces. Propulsive forces should also correlate with energy expenditures associated with locomotion—an important cost of foraging. As such, biologging tags containing accelerometers are being used to generate proxies for animal energy expenditures despite being unable to distinguish rotational movements from linear movements. However, recent miniaturizations of gyroscopes offer the possibility of resolvin...

Shift work and risk of stroke: A meta-analysis
Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality which is accounted for 11.8% of total deaths worldwide [1]. On average, every 4min, someone died of a stroke. Stroke accounted for ≈1 of every 20 deaths in the United States, with serious consequences for health care expenditure [2]. It has been estimated that the total direct medical expenditure on stroke is at least $71.6 billion in 2012 and will be $184.1 billion in 2030, this creates a major public health burden [3]. Moreover, approximately 10% of all strokes occur in individuals 18 to 50years of age, which is the main productivity [4].

ECRI, LSE partner for medical device pricing study
The ECRI Institute said earlier this month it inked a partnership deal with the London School of Economics and Political Science’s LSE Health and Social Care group. The Plymouth Meeting, Penn.-based institute said both groups will collaborate on a project that seeks to examine medical device pricing across different countries. “Reducing costs in the healthcare system is critically important for hospitals and health systems worldwide. We anticipate that our partnership with LSE will yield the kind of research results that are needed to make device pricing more transparent,” ECRI European operations veep Da...

Increased Resting Energy Expenditure after Endovascular Coiling for Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Appropriate nutritional care from the acute stage is essential for improved functional outcomes and reduced mortality in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Although endovascular coiling is increasingly being used as an alternative to neurosurgical clipping and craniotomy for ruptured aneurysms, the resting energy expenditure (REE) of patients treated with this new technique has not been systemically evaluated.
