Background and objectives: In ice hockey, the major physical workload comes from acceleration in all planes of motion and transitions between skating trajectories. Hockey players’ anthropometric characteristics correlate with performance. In team sports, the use of ergogenic drugs for recovery is relevant to avoid athletes’ overtraining. It is very important to protect athletes’ health and allow them to maintain high-performance levels. Cytoflavin is an ergogenic drug whose action is based on the combined effects of its active ingredients (succinic acid, inosine, nicotinamide and riboflavin), which are naturally occurring metabolites that stimulate tissue respiration. The study aimed to assess the 6-week Cytoflavin consumption effects on body composition (body weight, body mass index, body fat percentage and bioimpedance phase angle) and aerobic performance. Methods: This study included 60 male professional hockey players (aged 19 to 36 years) divided into two groups of 30 subjects: group I (body weight 87.90 ± 7.44 kg, BMI 25.86 ± 2.04 kg/m2) and group II (body weight 87.04 ± 6.22 kg, BMI 25.52 ± 2.38 kg/m2). Athletes in group I received Cytoflavin, whereas athletes in group II did not. Results: In group I, statistically significant reductions in body weight and body mass index were not observed until 14 and 35 days, respectively. In contrast, in group II, both body weight and BMI significantly decreased both times. Aerobic performance significantly increased in both groups, with significantly greater increases in group I. Conclusions: Cytoflavin can be considered an ergogenic drug that improves body composition parameters, especially in the control of weight reduction and improvement in aerobic performance.
Prader — Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rate multisystem disease caused by a developmental disorder of the nervous system. The syndrome is associated with an imprinting defect, i.e. lack of expression of paternal genes on chromosome 15 q11.2q13.1. This genetic defect leads to cognitive and behavioral disorders; hypothalamic dysfunction; endocrine, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and other disorders. PWS is the most frequent cause of hereditary obesity. In turn, the obesity causes the obesity-hypoventilation syndrome and respiratory failure.The aim of this article was to describe a clinical case of 28-year-old female who presented with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure.Conclusion. The patient was treated with respiratory support (non-invasive ventilation). The timely diagnosis and treatment of respiratory failure is important for the outcome as it can improve the patient’s quality of life and the life expectancy.
Болезнь Альцгеймера (БА), описанная в 1907 г. немецким психиатром Алоисом Альцгеймером, представляет собой прогрессирующее нейродегенеративное заболевание, характеризующееся потерей памяти, когнитивными и поведенческими нарушениями, которые в конечном итоге приводят к деменции [1]. В возникновении БА могут играть роль как генетические, так и экологические факторы риска, но самым большим фактором риска является возраст: в 65 лет вероятность развития БА составляет около 3%, а к 85 годам она возрастает до более чем 30% [2, 3]. В 2015 г. во всем мире БА страдали 23-35 млн человек. Кроме того, по оценкам, к 2050 г. из-за старения населения распространенность БА возрастет до 106,8 млн [4]. Клинические проявления БА возникают в результате дисфункции и гибели нейронов, особенно в тех популяциях нервных клеток, которые отвечают за память и познание [5]. Предполагается, что патофизиологический процесс инициируется внеклеточным фибриллярным отложением бета-амилоида (Aβ) с последующей внутринейрональной гиперфосфорилированной агрегацией тау-белка [5, 6].В настоящее время выделяют две формы БА. Первая форма (также известная как наследственная форма БА, НФБА) встречается примерно в 1-5% всех случаев, диагностированных как БА [7]. Она характеризуется ранним началом (до 65 лет) и часто связана с мутациями в гене белкапредшественника амилоида (amyloid precursor protein, APP) и генах пресенелина-1 (presenilin-1, PS-1) или пресенелина-2 (presenilin-2, PS-2) -компонентов комплекса гамма-О Б З О Р Ы
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
