Hangboard training in advanced climbers: A randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: Improving climbing performance strongly depends upon effective training methods. Hangboard training is one of the most popular approaches to increase finger and forearm strength. Training protocols are based on maximizing weight or minimizing edges. We aimed to evaluate which of these protocols was superior. We prospectively analyzed 30 intermediate to advanced climbing athletes [Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme (UIAA) VI-VIII] and randomized them into three groups: control group C (Control, normal climbing training), hangboard group HE (Hang endurance, grips to hold for a determined time decreased every week), and hangboard group HW (Hang weight, + 1.25 kg weight were added each week to hold for a determined time). As endpoints, we measured the grip strength before and after an 8-week training protocol in seven different pinches. Over the 8-week training period, HW hangboard training significantly improved the climbers' grip strength compared to C [p = 0.032, effect size (ES) 0.36]. Maximizing weight improved the strength in I/II + III, I/II + III + IV and fist significantly. HW was superior compared to C in terms of grip strength improvement in three out of seven pinches and overall grip strength. The overall changes in the HE group did not differ significantly from the C group. An 8-week training protocol with increasing weights (HW) significantly improved overall grip strength more than a regular climbing training without the use of a hangboard.

Advanced cognitive training for breast cancer survivors: a randomized controlled trial.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the preliminary efficacy and satisfaction/acceptability of training in memory or speed of processing versus wait-list control for improving cognitive function in breast cancer survivors. 82 breast cancer survivors completed a three-group randomized, controlled trial. Primary outcomes were objective neuropsychological tests of memory and speed of processing. Secondary outcomes were perceived cognitive functioning, symptom distress (mood disturbance, anxiety, and fatigue), quality of life, and intervention satisfaction/acceptability. Data were collected at baseline, post-intervention, and 2-month follow-up. Using repeated-measures mixed-linear ANCOVA models, each intervention was compared to wait-list control while adjusting for age, education, and baseline measures. The effect sizes for differences in means and the reliable improvement percentage were reported. The results show that domain-specific effects were seen for both interventions: memory training improved memory performance at 2-month follow-up (p = 0.036, d = 0.59); speed of processing training improved processing speed post-intervention (p = 0.040, d = 0.55) and 2-month follow-up (p = 0.016; d = 0.67). Transfer effects to non-trained domains were seen for speed of processing training with improved memory post-intervention (p = 0.007, d = 0.75) and 2-month follow-up (p = 0.004, d = 0.82). Both interventions were associated with improvements in perceived cognitive functioning, symptom distress, and quality of life. Ratings of satisfaction/acceptability were high for both interventions. It was concluded that while both interventions appeared promising, speed of processing training resulted in immediate and durable improvements in objective measures of processing speed and verbal memory. Speed of processing training may have broader benefits in this clinical population.

Ketogenic diet versus standard high-carbohydrate nutrition in sepsis: a randomized controlled trial

Project description:Rationale: Sepsis patients suffer from severe metabolic and immunologic dysfunction that may be amplified by standard carbohydrate-based nutritional regimes. We therefore hypothesize that a ketogenic diet improves sepsis treatment. Objectives: We investigated the safety and feasibility of a ketogenic diet in sepsis patients. Methods: We conducted a monocentric open-labeled randomized controlled trial (DRKS00017710) enrolling adult sepsis patients randomly assigned to either ketogenic or standard high-carbohydrate diet for 14 days with follow-up until day 30. The primary outcome measure was β-hydroxybutyrate serum concentration on day 14. Secondary outcomes included safety, clinical and immunological changes. Measurements and Main Results: 40 critically ill septic patients were assigned to the study groups. Increase in β-hydroxybutyrate concentrations from baseline to day 14 was markedly greater under ketogenic diet (1.2 ±0.9) compared to controls (-0.3 ±0.4); estimated mean difference 1.4 (95%-CI 1.0-1.8; p<0.0001). During ketogenic diet, no patient required insulin treatment beyond day 4, whereas 35% to 60% of control patients did (p=0.0095). Metabolic side effects were not observed under ketogenic diet. Ventilation-free (IRR 1.7; 95%-CI: 1.5 to 2.1; p<0.0001), vasopressor-free (IRR 1.7; 95%-CI: 1.5 to 2.0; p<0.0001), dialysis-free (IRR 1.5; 95%-CI: 1.3 to 1.8; p<0.0001), and ICU-free days (IRR 1.7; 95%-CI: 1.4 to 2.1; p<0.0001) significantly increased in patients under ketogenic diet. There was no difference in 30-day mortality. Analyses indicated favorable changes towards immune homeostasis. Conclusions: Ketogenic diet is a feasible and safe nutritional regimen in septic patients promoting recovery from sepsis-related organ dysfunction and could become a new tool in modern treatment concepts.

Randomized Controlled Trial of Family Therapy in Advanced Cancer Continued Into Bereavement.

Project description:Systematic family-centered cancer care is needed. We conducted a randomized controlled trial of family therapy, delivered to families identified by screening to be at risk from dysfunctional relationships when one of their relatives has advanced cancer.Eligible patients with advanced cancer and their family members screened above the cut-off on the Family Relationships Index. After screening 1,488 patients or relatives at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center or three related community hospice programs, 620 patients (42%) were recruited, which represented 170 families. Families were stratified by three levels of family dysfunction (low communicating, low involvement, and high conflict) and randomly assigned to one of three arms: standard care or 6 or 10 sessions of a manualized family intervention. Primary outcomes were the Complicated Grief Inventory-Abbreviated (CGI) and Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Generalized estimating equations allowed for clustered data in an intention-to-treat analysis.On the CGI, a significant treatment effect (Wald ?(2) = 6.88; df = 2; P = .032) and treatment by family-type interaction was found (Wald ?(2) = 20.64; df = 4; P < .001), and better outcomes resulted from 10 sessions compared with standard care for low-communicating and high-conflict groups compared with low-involvement families. Low-communicating families improved by 6 months of bereavement. In the standard care arm, 15.5% of the bereaved developed a prolonged grief disorder at 13 months of bereavement compared with 3.3% of those who received 10 sessions of intervention (Wald ?(2) = 8.31; df = 2; P =.048). No significant treatment effects were found on the BDI-II.Family-focused therapy delivered to high-risk families during palliative care and continued into bereavement reduced the severity of complicated grief and the development of prolonged grief disorder.

Art Training in Dementia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Project description:ObjectivesThe present study explores the effect of visual art training on people with dementia, utilizing a randomized control trial design, in order to investigate the effects of an 8-week visual art training program on cognition. In particular, the study examines overall cognition, delayed recall, and working memory, which show deficits in people with dementia.MethodFifty-three individuals with dementia were randomly assigned into either an art training (n = 27) or usual-activity waitlist control group (n = 26). Overall cognition and delayed recall were assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and working memory was assessed with the Backward Digit Span task.ResultsThere were no group differences in overall cognition, or working memory, while a difference in delayed recall was undetermined, based on post-test-pre-test difference scores. Groups were comparable at baseline on all measures.ConclusionThe measures of cognition, delayed recall, and working memory used in this study were not affected by an 8-week visual art training program.Clinical trial registrationwww.ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT03175822.

Ketogenicdiet versus standard high-carbohydrate nutrition in sepsis: a randomized controlled trial

Project description:Sepsis patients suffer from severe metabolic and immunologic dysfunction that may be amplified by standard nutritional approaches relying primarily on carbohydrates. We here hypothesize that a ketogenic diet improves sepsis treatment. We conducted a monocentric open-labeled randomized controlled trial enrolling 40 adult sepsis patients. Patients were randomly assigned to either ketogenic diet (KD) or standard high-carbohydrate nutrition for 14 days and followed up until day 30. The primary outcome measure was β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) serum concentration on day 14. We assessed feasibility and safety of KD, as well as diet-associated clinical and immunological changes. The respective nutrition protocols were successfully applied, dropouts did not occur. Regression analysis revealed a greater increase in BHB concentrations from baseline to day 14 in KD patients compared to controls. Metabolic side effects were not observed under ketogenic diet. Ventilation-free, vasopressor-free, dialysis-free and ICU-free days significantly increased in patients under ketogenic diet. Transcriptome profiling of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells at day 14 revealed substantial differential regulation of gene expression in the KD vs. the control group indicating a reduced T-cell activation and a shift towards a more regulated immunity.

Endometrial transcriptomic changes after application of seminal plasma: a randomized controlled trial

Project description:We hypothesized that seminal plasma, the acellular seminal fluid component, influences the endometrium stimulating the immune system and facilitating the implantation. We designed a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, and we used microarray analysis to evaluate differences in the endometrial transcriptomic profile after vaginal seminal plasma application. Differential gene pathways analysis showed an upregulation of pathways associated with the immune response, cell viability, proliferation and cellular movement, implantation, embryo development, oocyte maturation and angiogenesis. We compared our results with similar studies in pigs, mice and in vitro human endometrial cells and found similar and found comparable results. Our data show that seminal plasma has a positive effect on the endometrium during the implantation window.

Acupuncture for dyspnea in advanced cancer: a randomized, placebo-controlled pilot trial [ISRCTN89462491].

Project description:BACKGROUND: Dyspnea, or shortness of breath, is a common symptom in patients with advanced cancer. Pharmacologic management is of proven benefit, but it does not help all patients. Preliminary data suggest that acupuncture can relieve dyspnea in a variety of populations, including cancer patients. We conducted a pilot study (ISRCTN89462491) preparatory to a fully powered randomized, placebo-controlled trial to determine whether acupuncture reduces dyspnea in patients with lung or breast cancer. METHODS: The study sample was comprised of forty-seven patients with lung or breast cancer presenting with dyspnea. Patients receiving symptomatic treatments were not excluded as long as no changes in management were planned during the trial. Patients were randomized to receive a single session of true or placebo acupuncture in addition to their existing dyspnea treatments. Semi-permanent acupuncture "studs" were then inserted: patients applied pressure to these studs twice a day to provide ongoing stimulation to acupuncture points. The subjective sensation of dyspnea was assessed with a 0-10 numerical rating scale immediately before and after acupuncture treatment and daily for a week thereafter. RESULTS: All but two of 47 randomized patients provided follow-up data. Dyspnea scores were slightly higher for patients receiving true versus placebo acupuncture, for both the period immediately following acupuncture treatment and for the daily one week follow-up (differences between means of 0.34, 95% C.I. -0.33, 1.02 and 0.56, 95% C.I. -0.39, 1.51). The 95% confidence interval excludes the prespecified minimum clinically significant difference of a 20% greater improvement in dyspnea for patients receiving acupuncture. CONCLUSION: The acupuncture technique used in this trial is unlikely to have effects on dyspnea importantly larger than placebo for patients with advanced cancer.

The plasma proteome is favorably modified by a high protein diet but not by additional resistance training in older adults - a 17-week randomized controlled trial

Project description:Background: The age-related loss of muscle mass significantly contributes to the development of chronic diseases, loss of mobility and dependency on others, yet could be improved by an optimized lifestyle. Objective: The goal of this randomized controlled trial was to compare the influence of a habitual diet (CON) with either a diet containing the recommended protein intake (RP) or a high protein intake (HP), both with and without strength training, on the plasma proteome in older adults. Methods: 136 women and men (65-85 years) were randomly assigned to three intervention groups. CON continued their habitual diet; participants of the HP and RP group consumed either high protein or standard foods. After 6 weeks of dietary intervention, HP and RP groups additionally started a strength training intervention twice per week for 8 weeks. 24h dietary recalls were performed every 7 to 10 days. Body composition was assessed and blood taken. Plasma proteomics were assessed with LC-MS. Results: Participants of the HP group doubled their baseline protein intake from 0.80±0.31 g/kg BW/d to 1.63±0.36 g/kg BW/d; RP increased the protein intake from 0.89±0.28 g/kg BW/d to 1.06±0.26 g/kg BW/d. The CON group kept the protein intake stable throughout the study. Combined exercise and HP initiated notable changes, resulting in a reduction in bodyfat and increased muscle mass. Proteomics analyses revealed 14 significantly affected proteins by HP diet, regulating innate immune system, lipid transport and blood coagulation, yet the additional strength training did not elicit further changes. Conclusions: Combined HP and resistance exercise in healthy older adults seem to induce favorable changes in the body composition. Changes in the plasma proteome due to the high protein diet point to a beneficial impact for the innate immune system, lipid transport and blood coagulation system, all of which are involved in chronic disease development.
