We aimed to determine the effects of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors on Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in type 2 diabetes patients. Methods: A literature search was conducted via electronic databases. The inclusion criteria were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing DPP-4 inhibitors to placebo or anti-hyperglycaemic agent, study duration of no less than 12 weeks performed in type 2 diabetes patients. The primary outcome was the Intima-Media Thickness of Carotid. Random-effects model were applied to data synthesis. Results: Five trials enrolling 762 and 761 patients for DPP-4 inhibitors and placebo or anti hyperglycaemic agent were included. The primary outcome of this meta-analysis was mean intima media thickness common carotid artery (mean-IMT-CCA) and left maximum intima media thickness of the common carotid artery (max-left-IMT-CCA). There were no obvious differences in mean-IMT-CCA (SMD: -0.2466, 95%CI [-0.6052, 0.1120], P=0.1777) over 12 months. And that’s the same for 24 months (SMD: -0.5249, 95%CI [-1.1492, 0.0994], P=0.0994). There was no significant difference between DPP-4 Inhibitors and placebo or anti hyperglycemic agent in max-left-IMT-CCA, (SMD:0.2217, 95%CI [-0.2602, 0.7035], P=0.3673). And remained same over 24 months (SMD:0.1064, 95%CI [-0.3498, 0.5627], P=0.6475). Conclusion: There is no significant decrease on Carotid Intima-Media Thickness after DPP-4 inhibitors treatment over 12 and 24 weeks.","PeriodicalId":104100,"journal":{"name":"Research & Investigations in Sports Medicine","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115099630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the distribution of body weight (BW) over the hands for males and females throughout a 1-minute continuous pushup bout. A second research question aimed to investigate whether a 6-week push-up specific training program was an effective means of improving BW distribution throughout such an exercise bout. Methods: A total of 19 females and 22 males participated in this study. Pre-and post-testing consisted of a 1-minute continuous push-up bout with each hand placed on am individual force plate. Average peak force out from each hand was analyzed at the beginning and end of the bout. The preand post-tests were separated by a 6-week push-up specific training intervention, which was performed 3 times per week by all participants. Results: For both the preand post-test assessments, the percent BW (%BW) positioned over the force plates was significantly greater at the start compared to the end of the 1-min bouts (t(37)=10.50, p<0.00, d=1.21 and t(40)=9.09, p<0.00, d=1.06, respectively). Additionally, significantly more BW was positioned over the force plates at the end of the post-test when compared to that of the pre-test (t(37)=-1.83, p=0.03, d=0.21). Both males and females significantly decreased the %BW positioned over the force plates throughout both the preand post-tests (males: t(17)=13.99, p<0.00, d=3.06, and t(18)=13.71, p<0.00, d=3.35, respectively; females: t(19)=6.90, p<0.00, d=1.31, and t(21)=5.52, p<0.00, d=0.76). Conclusion: Body weight distribution was observed to decrease significantly for both genders throughout the push-up bouts during both preand post-tests. While a trend was observed to indicate that an exercise-specific training program results in a greater distribution of BW over the hands throughout the bout, a longer training program (e.g. 12-16 weeks) will likely result in a stronger trend and is recommended for future research.","PeriodicalId":104100,"journal":{"name":"Research & Investigations in Sports Medicine","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123629935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overall, however, road traffic accidents are the most prevalent aetiology, followed in decreasing rank order by assault, sports, falls and occupational hazards. The highest incidence of MFF is observed in men between 20 and 29 years old, although older women (those over 65 years old) are more likely than older men to sustain a MFF [1-3]. The most commonly fractured bone is the nose, followed in descending order by the mandible, the zygomatic complex, and then midface and orbital fractures [4].","PeriodicalId":104100,"journal":{"name":"Research & Investigations in Sports Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124871920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The factors that trigger stress response pathways hormetically called as hormetin. Hormetins can be classified as physical hormetins (exercise, thermal shock and irrigation), psychological hormetins (mental interrogation and focusing), biological and nutritional hormetins (infections, nutrients, energy restriction) [1-4]. At molecular level stress response in mammalian cells can be classified as heat shock response, unfolded protein response, autophagic response, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair response, antioxidant response, sirtuin response and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) inflammatory response. Hormetins trigger these pathways thus strength the cell. According to this, body can improve its defensive system and retarding age-related chronic diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, etc. It has been known that physical activity decreased the age-related chronic diseases risks and increased lifespan. This can be exemplified by hormetic perspective as mild level of physical activity trigger stress response pathways in cells and strenght the body toward chronic diseases [4-8]. In other words, we expose our body to stress by physical activity as a mild stress factor. Some nutrients, phytochemicals and energy restriction also can work as hormetins. They trigger stresss response pathways in mild doses and strength the body while high doses are toxic. To conclude, principle of hormesis and hormetins can be defined as “the dose alone makes the poison” thus “the thing what does not kill us, makes us stronger” according to Paracelcius and Fredrich Nietzche words, respectively.","PeriodicalId":104100,"journal":{"name":"Research & Investigations in Sports Medicine","volume":" 17","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132041837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
