Patients that have been scheduled for colonoscopy will undergo chart review. Patients who meet inclusion criteria will be invited to participate at the time consent is obtained for the colonoscopy. Participants will then be randomized to one of two colonoscopy starting positions. After

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition associated with significant adverse health outcomes. An estimated 25% of men and 10% of women will have OSA during their lifetime. OSA is associated with an increased prevalence of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes and, with severe degrees of

Our central hypotheses are that HIT combined with AIH results in: 1) greater locomotor gains as compared to HIT alone; 2) improvements in gait quality and motor coordination during walking, and 3) changes in measures of community participation and integration. To test these hypotheses, the proposed

Approximately 8 % of the Veteran population in the United States suffers from sleep apnea. Consequences of untreated sleep apnea include increased daytime fatigue, hypertension and stroke. Thus, sleep apnea is a major health concern. One of the primary hallmarks of sleep apnea is exposure to

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of one acute exercise bout on tumor hypoxia in patients with localized prostate cancer randomized to one single acute I) High Intensity Interval Training bout compared to (II) usual care and no training prior to radical prostatectomy. In

Patients with head and neck cancer greater than 3 cm will imaged with PET scan and CT scan in order to determine areas of the tumour that are hypoxic. Following surgical removal, samples of the tumour will be evaluated for the expression of hypoxia genes. The preoperative imaging will be compared to

Accumulating evidence suggests that repeatedly breathing low oxygen levels for brief periods (termed intermittent hypoxia) is a safe and effective treatment strategy to promote meaningful functional recovery in persons with chronic spinal cord injury. Repetitive exposure to mild hypoxia triggers a

Participants: Various associations of pensioners will be contacted as well as the university of seniors of the University of Extremadura to recruit volunteer participants. Total sample size will be 120 people, being this calculated to obtaining a statistical power of 90%, calculated with a margin of

As AD and OSA have a bidirectional relationship, OSA causes cerebral hypoxia and sleep fragmentation favouring the deposition of AB and AD causes alterations in sleep quality, investigators will develop a comprehensive project with human patients and an animal model of AD with sleep fragmentation

Acute morbidities can contribute to adverse neurodevelopment outcomes in preterm infants born at ≤30 wks gestation, but neural damage occurring after resolution of acute morbidities may be more subtle and related to cycles of inflammation and repair in the developing brain. One possible contributor

The HIL-trial has been designed by the study initiators at the Clinical Cooperation Unit Radiation Oncology at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the Clinical Cooperation Unit Nuclear Medicine at DKFZ, the Department of Radiology at DKFZ and the Department of Radiation Oncology at the

The use of propofol (2,6-di-isopropofol) for sedation during endoscopic procedures has increased in recent years primarily because of its favorable pharmacokinetic profile compared with traditional endoscopic sedation with benzodiazepines and opioids. Propofol has a rapid onset of action (30-45 sec)

Pulmonary gas exchange disturbance is a common anesthetic problem during one-lung ventilation (OLV) for thoracic surgery. Continuous positive airway pressure or positive end-expiratory pressure are usually applied to improve this disorder including hypoxia, but these methods are not enough. The
