Clinical and laboratory characteristics, epidemiology, and outcomes of murine typhus: A systematic review
(2017)Murine or endemic typhus, a febrile disease caused by Rickettsia typhi, is often misdiagnosed due to its non-specific presentation. We sought to evaluate all available evidence in the literature regarding the clinical and ... -
Comparison between leg and arm eccentric exercises of the same relative intensity on indices of muscle damage
(2005)Many exercise models have demonstrated associations between eccentric muscle actions and muscle damage. However, the magnitude of muscle damage varies among the models. It appears that responses to eccentric exercise are ... -
A comparison of exercise-induced muscle damage following maximal eccentric contractions in men and boys
(2017)Purpose: Research regarding exercise-induced muscle-damage mainly focuses on adults. The present study examined exercise-induced muscle-damage responses in adults compared with children. Method: Eleven healthy boys (10-12 ... -
The current evidence regarding covid‐19 and pregnancy: Where are we now and where should we head to next?
(2021)Despite the volume of publications dedicated to unraveling the biological characteristics and clinical manifestations of SARS‐CoV‐2, available data on pregnant patients are limited. In the current review of literature, we ... -
Cytokines and pathological sleep
(2008)Cytokines are proteins produced by leukocytes and other cells that function as intercellular mediators acting on several target tissues, resulting in multiple biologic actions. Over the last decade, medical research has ... -
Daptomycin for the treatment of osteomyelitis and orthopaedic device infections: real-world clinical experience from a European registry
(2016)Osteomyelitis is a serious infection predominantly caused by Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Orthopaedic device-related infections are complex and require a careful ... -
Effect of whey vs. soy protein supplementation on recovery kinetics following speed endurance training in competitive male soccer players: a randomized controlled trial
(2021)Background: Soccer-specific speed-endurance training induces short-term neuromuscular fatigue and performance deterioration over a 72-h recovery period, associated with elevated markers of exercise-induced muscle damage. ... -
The effects of different passive static stretching intensities on recovery from unaccustomed eccentric exercise – A randomized controlled trial
(2018)Effects of passive static stretching intensity on recovery from unaccustomed eccentric exercise of right knee extensors was investigated in 30 recreationally active males randomly allocated into 3 groups: high-intensity ... -
The effects of spirulina supplementation on redox status and performance following a muscle damaging protocol
(2021)Spirulina plantensis is a popular supplement which has been shown to have antioxidant and performance enhancing properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of spirulina supplementation on (a) redox ... -
