Quality of life, pain and use of analgesic, anxiolytic and antidepressant medication, in people living in care homes
(2024-09-06)
BACKGROUND: People living in care homes often have problems with pain, anxiety and depression. Whether being on analgesia, anxiolytics or antidepressants has any bearing on pain severity and quality of life (QoL) in this ...
The mRNA content of plasma extracellular vesicles provides a window into molecular processes in the brain during cerebral malaria
(2024-08-16)
The impact of cerebral malaria on the transcriptional profiles of cerebral tissues is difficult to study using noninvasive approaches. We isolated plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) from patients with cerebral malaria and ...
Benefits of home-based foot neuromuscular electrical stimulation on self-reported function, leg pain and other leg symptoms among community-dwelling older adults: a sham-controlled randomised clinical trial
(2024-08-14)
INTRODUCTION: Lower leg pain and symptoms, and poor leg circulation are common in older adults. These can significantly affect their function and quality of life. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) applied via the ...
Profiling and assessing the risks of image- and performance-enhancing drugs use during the COVID-19 lockdown
(2024-06-19)
Background: Image and Performance-Enhancing Drugs (IPEDs) can enhance mental and physical capabilities and impact one’s overall health. Initially confined in sport environments, IPEDs use has become increasingly widespread ...
Physical Activity Inclusion in Dementia-Friendly Communities: A Mixed Methods Study
(2024-06-01)
Dementia-friendly communities (DFCs) are a policy-endorsed approach to community engagement in England that promotes social inclusion to enable people affected by dementia to live well. Research suggests that physical ...
The effect of age and sex on peak oxygen uptake during upper and lower body exercise: A systematic review
(2024-06-01)
Background Large scale population norms for peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) during cycle ergometry (CE) have been published for men and women across a wide range of ages. Although upper body functional capacity has an important ...
Observation system for the technical-tactical analysis of judo by the Rio 2016 Olympic champions
(2024-05-20)
An observational methodology system has been designed which allows the observation and analysis of the technical-tactical behaviour and interaction of judokas during competition. The observation instrument (JUTACTIC) is ...
The power of past performance in multidimensional supplier evaluation and supplier selection: Debiasing anchoring bias and its knock-on effects
(2024-05-16)
This research examines how anchoring bias affects managers’ multi-dimensional evaluations of supplier performance, supplier selection, and the effectiveness of two debiasing techniques. We consider the supplier past ...
Action sequence learning, habits, and automaticity in obsessive-compulsive disorder
(2024-05-09)
This study investigates the goal/habit imbalance theory of compulsion in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which postulates enhanced habit formation, increased automaticity, and impaired goal/habit arbitration. It ...
Predictive modelling of transport decisions and resources optimisation in pre-hospital setting using machine learning techniques
(2024-05-03)
Background: The global evolution of pre-hospital care systems faces dynamic challenges, particularly in multinational settings. Machine learning (ML) techniques enable the exploration of deeply embedded data patterns for ...
