Hypertension affects more than 40% of adults worldwide and is associated with stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and other cardiovascular diseases. It has also been shown to cause severe functional and structural damage to the brain, leading to cognitive impairment and dementia. Furthermore, it is believed that these cognitive impairments affect the mental ability to maintain productivity at work, ultimately causing social and economic problems. Because hypertension is a chronic condition ...

From December 2005 to April 2007, we enrolled 60 adults starting antiretroviral therapy (ART) in a health district of Lima, Peru to receive community-based accompaniment with supervised antiretroviral (CASA). Paid community health workers performed twice-daily home visits to directly observe ART and offered additional medical, social and economic support to CASA participants. We matched 60 controls from a neighboring district by age, CD4 and primary referral criteria (TB status, female, neither). Using ...

This paper discusses the performance of a poultry slaughterhouse wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in a tropical country and operating strategies that were applied over 84 months to this WWTP. The WWTP consisted of a dissolved air flotation (DAF) system, anaerobic ponds (APs) and a facultative pond (FP). The organic loading rates applied to the APs ranged from 0.26 to 1.05 kg BOD/m3 day, and the hydraulic retention time ranged from 2.2 to 3.8 days. The resultant COD and BOD removal efficiencies were ...

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a term employed to define a group of non-progressive neuromotor disorders caused by damage to the immature or developing brain, with consequent limitations regarding movement and posture. CP may impair orapharygeal muscle tone, leading to a compromised chewing function and to sleep disorders (such as obstructive sleep apnea). Thirteen adults with CP underwent bilateral masseter and temporalis neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) therapy. The effects on the masticatory ...

However, it is unclear how exercising at different exercise intensities affects cognitive inhibitory control in overweight/obese adults. Herein we compared the effects of 12 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), and self-selected intensity training (SSIT) on cognitive inhibitory control in overweight/obese adults.

The ventilatory threshold (VT), or respiratory compensation point, is an important respiratory-metabolic marker of aerobic fitness. Exercise at VT intensity provides an optimal stimulus for body mass loss and improvement in aerobic fitness. The use of ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) to self-regulate exercise intensity is more feasible than prescribing exercise using oxygen consumption (V˙O2) and heart rate (HR). Identifying RPE at the VT (RPEVT) is an optimal intensity target for perceptually regulated ...
