Brain correlates of autonomic modulation: Combining heart rate variability with fMRI
(Elsevier BV, 2008)The central autonomic network (CAN) has been described in animal models but has been difficult to elucidate in humans. Potential confounds include physiological noise artifacts affecting brainstem neuroimaging data, and ... -
A brief review of exercise, bipolar disorder, and mechanistic pathways
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2015)Despite evidence that exercise has been found to be effective in the treatment of depression, it is unclear whether these data can be extrapolated to bipolar disorder. Available evidence for bipolar disorder is scant, with ... -
Circulating miR-21, miR-378, and miR-940 increase in response to an acute exhaustive exercise in chronic heart failure patients
(Impact Journals LLC, 2016)Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a major cause of hospitalizations, morbidity, and mortality in Western societies. In addition to optimal medical and device therapy, exercise training is an important adjunct treatment ... -
Community-based Adapted Tango Dancing for Individuals with Parkinson's Disease and Older Adults
(MyJove Corporation, 2014)Adapted tango dancing improves mobility and balance in older adults and additional populations with balance impairments. It is composed of very simple step elements. Adapted tango involves movement initiation and cessation, ... -
Cost‐Effectiveness of Supervised Exercise, Stenting, and Optimal Medical Care for Claudication: Results From the Claudication: Exercise Versus Endoluminal Revascularization (CLEVER) Trial
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2014)Background: Both supervised exercise (SE) and stenting (ST) improve functional status, symptoms, and quality of life compared with optimal medical care (OMC) in patients with claudication. The relative cost‐effectiveness ... -
Early Repolarization Pattern in Competitive Athletes: Clinical Correlates and the Effects of Exercise Training
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2011)Background: Inferior lead early repolarization pattern (ERP) has recently been associated with sudden cardiac death. Although ERP is common among athletes, prevalence, ECG lead distribution, clinical characteristics, and ... -
The emerging role of metabolomics in the development of biomarkers for pulmonary hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases (2013 Grover Conference series)
(University of Chicago Press, 2014)Abstract The functional and prognostic significance of pulmonary hypertension (PH) is well established, yet our understanding of circulating peptides and metabolites that might mark or contribute to various forms of PH ... -
Evidence for cerebral edema, cerebral perfusion, and intracranial pressure elevations in acute mountain sickness
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016)Abstract Introduction: We hypothesized that cerebral alterations in edema, perfusion, and/or intracranial pressure (ICP) are related to the development of acute mountain sickness (AMS). Methods: To vary AMS, we manipulated ... -
Myocardial Alterations in Senescent Mice and Effect of Exercise Training: A Strain Rate Imaging Study
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2008)Background: Aging is accompanied by an alteration in myocardial contractility. However, its noninvasive detection is difficult. The effect of chronic exercise on this decrease is unknown. Murine models of senescence are ... -
Obesity, Physical Activity, and Their Interaction in Incident Atrial Fibrillation in Postmenopausal Women
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2014)Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with increased risk of stroke and death. Obesity is an independent risk factor for AF, but modifiers of this risk are not well ... -
An outsourced health-enhancing physical activity programme for people with rheumatoid arthritis: exploration of adherence and response
(Oxford University Press, 2014)Objectives. The aims of this study were to document adherence to and changes in health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA) levels and self-reported and assessed functioning and to explore aspects of adherence and response ... -
Participation in Activity and Risk for Incident Delirium

Physical Activity and Weight Gain Prevention in Older Men
(2011)Background: Physical activity and adiposity are important predictors of mortality, even in older individuals. However, it is unclear how much physical activity is needed to prevent weight gain in older persons. Purpose To ... -
Physical activity counseling in medical school education: a systematic review
(Co-Action Publishing, 2014)Background: Despite a large evidence base to demonstrate the health benefits of regular physical activity (PA), few physicians incorporate PA counseling into office visits. Inadequate medical training has been cited as a ... -
Severe hyperammonemia from intense skeletal muscle activity
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2019-11)Rationale: Adult hyperammonemia is most often the result of hepatic dysfunction. Hyperammonemia in the setting of normal hepatic function is a much less common phenomenon and has usually been associated with medications ... -
Submaximal Exercise Systolic Blood Pressure and Heart Rate at 20 Years of Follow‐up: Correlates in the Framingham Heart Study
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016)Background: Beyond their resting values, exercise responses in blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) may add prognostic information for cardiovascular disease (CVD). In cross‐sectional studies, exercise BP and HR responses ... -
When Should a Cervical Collar be Used to Treat Neck Pain?
(Humana Press Inc, 2007)Neck pain is one of the most prevalent and costly health problems in the United States. It remains a complex, subjective experience with a variety of musculoskeletal causes. Although, cervical collars are a seemingly benign ...
