This book was released on 2018-12-30 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bed rest has been a normal procedure used by physicians for centuries in the treatment of injury and disease. Exposure of patients to prolonged bed rest in the horizontal position induces adaptive deconditioning responses. While deconditioning responses are appropriate for patients or test subjects in the horizontal position, they usually result in adverse physiological responses (fainting, muscular weakness) when the patient assume the upright posture. These deconditioning responses result from reduction in hydrostatic pressure within the cardiovascular system, virtual elimination of longitudinal pressure on the long bones, some decrease in total body metabolism, changes in diet, and perhaps psychological impact from the different environment. Almost every system in the body is affected. An early stimulus is the cephalic shift of fluid from the legs which increases atrial pressure and induces compensatory responses for fluid and electrolyte redistribution. Without countermeasures, deterioration in strength and muscle function occurs within 1 wk while increased calcium loss may continue for months. Research should also focus on drug and carbohydrate metabolism. Greenleaf, J. E. Ames Research Center NASA-TM-101010, A-88214, NAS 1.15:101010 RTOP 199-21-12-07...

Download or read book Physiological Responses to Prolonged Bed Rest and Fluid Immersion in Man written by John Edward Greenleaf and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water immersion and prolonged bed rest reproduce nearly all the physiological responses observed in astronauts in the weightless state. Moreover, it appears that relative to actual weightlessness, given responses tend to occur sooner in immersion and later in bed rest. Much research has been conducted on humans using these two techniques, especially by Russian scientists. This compendium contains abstracts and annotations of reports that appeared in the literature from January 1974 through December 1980. Two other related compendia have been published: Adaptation to Prolonged Bed Rest in Man: A Compendium of Research, by J.E. Greenleaf, C.J. Greenleaf, D. Van Derveer, and K.J. Dorchak (NASA TM X-3307, 1976); and Physiologic Responses to Water Immersion in Man: A Compendium of Research, by J. Kollias, D. Van Derveer, K.J. Dorchak, and J.E. Greenleaf (NASA TM X-3308, 1976).

Download or read book Clinical Exercise Pathophysiology for Physical Therapy written by Debra Coglianese and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 1351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to effectively examine, test, and treat patients with exercise, physical therapists need to understand how physiology from the cellular to the systems level provides the basis for normal responses to exercise. But that is not enough. Knowledge about pathophysiology, the changes that lead to abnormal responses to exercise in different patient populations, is also essential. Clinical Exercise Pathophysiology for Physical Therapy: Examination, Testing, and Exercise Prescription for Movement-Related Disorders is a comprehensive reference created to answer the “why” and the “how” to treat patients with exercise by offering both comprehensive information from the research literature, as well as original patient cases. Dr. Debra Coglianese, along with her contributors, have arranged Clinical Exercise Pathophysiology for Physical Therapy into three parts: foundations of physiological responses, pathophysiology of deconditioning and physiology of training, and pathophysiology considerations and clinical practice. The chapters present the physiology and pathophysiology for defined patient populations consistent with the American Physical Therapy Association’s Guide to Physical Therapy Practice. Patient cases also supplement each chapter to illustrate how understanding the content of the chapter informs physical therapy examination, testing, and treatment. The patient/client management model from the Guide to Physical Therapy Practice defines the structure of the patient cases, and the International Classification of Function, Disability, and Health (ICF) model of disablement has been inserted into each patient case. Highlighted “Clinician Comments” appear throughout each patient case to point out the critical thinking considerations. Included with the text are online supplemental materials for faculty use in the classroom. Clinical Exercise Pathophysiology for Physical Therapy: Examination, Testing, and Exercise Prescription for Movement-Related Disorders is a groundbreaking reference for the physical therapy student or clinician looking to understand how physiology and pathophysiology relate to responses to exercise in different patient populations.

Download or read book ACSM s Advanced Exercise Physiology written by Charles M. Tipton and published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. This book was released on 2006 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by international experts in physiology, exercise physiology, and research, ACSM's Advanced Exercise Physiology gives students an advanced level of understanding of exercise physiology. It emphasizes the acute and chronic effects of exercise on various physiological systems in adults and the integrative nature of these physiological responses. Chapters detail how different body systems respond to exercise. Systems include nervous, skeletal, muscular, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, metabolic, endocrine, immune, renal, and hematopoietic systems. Additional chapters explain how these responses are altered by heat, cold, hypoxia, microgravity, bed rest, and hyperbaria. Milestones of Discovery pages describe classic or memorable experiments in exercise physiology.
Download or read book Sleep Disorders and Sleep Deprivation written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-10-13 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical practice related to sleep problems and sleep disorders has been expanding rapidly in the last few years, but scientific research is not keeping pace. Sleep apnea, insomnia, and restless legs syndrome are three examples of very common disorders for which we have little biological information. This new book cuts across a variety of medical disciplines such as neurology, pulmonology, pediatrics, internal medicine, psychiatry, psychology, otolaryngology, and nursing, as well as other medical practices with an interest in the management of sleep pathology. This area of research is not limited to very young and old patientsâ€"sleep disorders reach across all ages and ethnicities. Sleep Disorders and Sleep Deprivation presents a structured analysis that explores the following: Improving awareness among the general public and health care professionals. Increasing investment in interdisciplinary somnology and sleep medicine research training and mentoring activities. Validating and developing new and existing technologies for diagnosis and treatment. This book will be of interest to those looking to learn more about the enormous public health burden of sleep disorders and sleep deprivation and the strikingly limited capacity of the health care enterprise to identify and treat the majority of individuals suffering from sleep problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metabolic studies were performed on 44 healthy men before and during bed rest at ground level or at simulated altitudes of 10,000 or 12,000 feet. Simple bed rest brought loss of calcium, phosphorus, nitrogen, sodium, and chloride with little change in potassium. The addition of 12,000 feet simulated altitude significantly reduced the loss of urinary calcium, phosphorus, nitrogen, sodium and chloride and total nitrogen. The 10,000 foot simulated altitude was associated with urinary calcium losses quantitatively intermediate between the ground level and 12,000 groups and increased total sodium and potassium losses. The possibility that reduced bone resorption represents one aspect of acclimatization to simulated altitude is discussed.
