A Comparative Study of Cerebral Oxygenation During Exercise in Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Introduction Cognitive impairment and exercise intolerance are common in dialysis patients. Cerebral perfusion and oxygenation play a major role in both cognitive function and exercise execution; HD session per se aggravates cerebral ischemia in this …
Changes in cerebral oxygenation during sit-to-stand test in COPD patients compared to controls and the effect of oxygen supplementation
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and disability worldwide. While it is primarily characterized by persistent, non-fully reversible airflow limitation, COPD is now recognized as a systemic …
Endurance training induces asymmetric brain oxygenation adaptations in the left and right prefrontal cortex during submaximal exercise
Sufficient blood and oxygen supply to the brain is crucial for optimal performance. This study examined the effects of endurance training on oxygen delivery to the right and left prefrontal cortex.
Exploring Brain Functional Connectivity in Hand Motion and Motor Imagery through fNIRS Signals: A Graph Theory Approach
Using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) as a complementary and cost-effective neuroimaging technique in sensorimotor tasks due to its applications in brain-computer interface (BCI) research can provide useful information about functional …
FFTNet: fNIRS-based frequency-enhanced patch network for driving fatigue detection
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), with its ability to directly measure cerebral hemodynamic changes and advantages such as portability, non-invasiveness, and resistance to interference, holds unique promise for driving fatigue detection. …
NIRS frequency analysis to evaluate cerebrovascular reactivity after acute brain injury
SignificanceCerebral autoregulation (CA) relies on cerebrovascular reactivity, and it is often impaired after acute brain injury (ABI), contributing to secondary brain damage. Noninvasive neuromonitoring with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can …
Physiological mechanisms underlying enhanced performance with blood flow restriction training: neuromuscular, vascular and metabolic adaptations
We investigated how blood flow restriction (BFR) training enhances performance and neuromuscular function during dynamic exercise through adaptations in vascular function, mitochondrial respiratory capacity and metaboreflex-related haemodynamic …
Unveiling plant protein astringency perception through neural and cellular responses
While consumption of plant proteins providing nutritional, social and climate solutions to feed a growing population in a healthy and sustainable manner is unquestionable, astringency remains a persistent yet underestimated organoleptic challenge. …
Aroma of textitGenius Essential Oil Blend Significantly Enhances Cognitive Performance and Brain Metabolism in Healthy Adults
This double-blind positive-controlled study investigated the potential for the aroma of a novel blend of essential oils, Genius to enhance cognitive performance and mood in healthy adults, and whether any such benefits might be related to changes in …
Assessment of Brain Cortical Activation in Passive Movement During Wrist Task Using Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS)
Purpose: Nowadays, the number of people diagnosed with movement disorders is increasing. Therefore, the evaluation of brain activity during motor task performance has attracted the attention of researchers in recent years. Functional Near-Infrared …
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation During Hemodialysis Enhances Exercise Capacity in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Exercise capacity is markedly impaired in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) due to neuromuscular dysfunction and reduced oxygen delivery. This study aimed to investigate the effects of NMES during HD on exercise capacity in …
Acute effects of ischemic preconditioning and isometric exercise on blood pressure in prehypertensive males
Objective This study investigates whether 5-min ischemic preconditioning (IR5) more effectively reduces submaximal exercise blood pressure and improves muscle oxygenation compared to 2-min ischemia (IR2) or 2-min isometric priming (IM2). Methods …
Muscle and cerebral oxygenation during exercise in fibromyalgia: a near-infrared spectroscopy study
Purpose We studied muscle and brain oxygenation during submaximal and peak exercise in patients with fibromyalgia (FM), a condition characterized by pain and fatigue, compared with age-matched healthy controls (CON). Methods The participants (FM, n = …
The effect of automatic speech recognition on Iranian interpreters' cognitive load: An fNIRS study
In the dynamic landscape of language interpreting, the integration of technology has ushered in a new era, marked by the advent of computer-assisted interpreting (CAI) tools. However, while the promise of improved communication through these tools is …
Diverse and distributed haemodynamic effects of theta burst stimulation in the prefrontal cortex
Background Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS) is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation that can induce neuroplastic changes in the underlying intracortical areas. It has significant potential in clinical and research settings for modulating cognitive …
