Introduction. The phenomena of biological adaptation and overtraining are closely related terms, that is why in sport it is possible to identify two types of overtraining. The first of these is known as short-term overtraining, which is required as a state of peripheral fatigue induced by repeated

Registry procedures: This study is the follow-up study of the Simple Intensive Care Studies I (SICS-I, NCT02912624). All eligible patients will first be included in the Simple Observational Critical Care Studies (SOCCS, NCT03553069) within 3 hours after ICU admission. The SOCCS includes all acutely

Study design: After admission, and following clinical and diagnostic evaluation (12-lead electrocardiogram, Doppler echocardiography, symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise test and other related laboratory tests), all patients are discharged in low risk group (ejection fraction≥50% with AMI

This study is an double blinded experimental study using parallel design. Study subjects are patients in Harapan Kita hospital who are registered to CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Graft) surgery and fulfill all the eligibility criteria. The subjects will be first consecutively selected, with male age

Data to be registered within 24 hours after admittance: - Age of the patient - Gender - Comorbidities - Currently taken medications - The exact time point of bleeding - Additional circumstances of the bleeding - Physical stress factors - Psychological stress factors - Significant blood pressure

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE OF THE STUDY The long term prognosis of patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has progressively improved since the introduction of reperfusion therapies and in particular primary angioplasty [1]. In the setting of ST-elevation

Ischemic preconditioning is thought to work by down-regulating pro-inflammatory gene expression and up-regulating anti-inflammatory gene expression in leukocytes. There is a local release of vasodilators, including adenosine and nitric oxide that are thought to have renal protective effects [16].

A total of 26 healthy adults and 15 adults who have recently experienced muscle atrophy from conservative treatment after an orthopedic lower leg/ankle/foot injury that did not require surgery but did require immobilization will participate. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be used to estimate

Systemic sclerosis (SSc, scleroderma) is a multisystem autoimmune rheumatic disease that causes inflammation, vascular damage and fibrosis. Besides involvement of skin, fibrosis also affects many internal organ involving blood vessel, lungs, heart, kidney etc. Although advances in understanding in

Ischemic stroke is a significant cause of death, most of the patients is caused by atherosclerosis,current treatments include internal medicine medications, interventional treatment and so on,among them, the interventional therapy can make narrow blood vessels blood recovery fastly,and for its small

Study Rationale Because of its unique combination of morphological and functional imaging with tissue characterization, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has become the non-invasive diagnostic tool of choice for assessing myocarditis. Recently, standard diagnostic CMR criteria for myocarditis
