Vitamin K status in spaceflight and ground-based models of spaceflight. LID - 10.1002/jbmr.289 [doi]
Abstract
Bone loss is a well-documented change during and after long-duration spaceflight. Many types of countermeasures to bone loss have been proposed, including vitamin K supplementation. The objective of this series of studies was to measure change in vitamin K status in response to microgravity under a v...

Abstract
Our findings indicated that peripheral adaptations after ULLS could relate to the change in aerobic exercise capacity during one-legged exercise. Our results also suggest that intensive interval training prevents ULLS-induced deconditioning of both aerobic exercise capacity and skeletal muscle volum...

Abstract
Long-term immobilization is known to result in substantial bone loss. The present review examined the existing evidence for deterioration of bone structure during long-term disuse in humans. Paralysis due to spinal cord injury, long-term exposure to microgravity in space or tightly restricted mobili...

Abstract
The CMG demonstrated consistently higher scores on the BART (Days 20 to 40; Mean: CMG, 43.0 to 46.2 and CG, 30.2 to 25.5) and lower levels of arousal on the Affect Grid (Days 7 to 40; Mean: CMG, 6.9 to 6.7 and CG, 8.1 to 8.0) than did the CG. The CMG showed significantly higher performance on the Ar...

Clinical calcium (20)5 2010
Abstract
Bone loss and renal stone are significant medical concerns for bed rest subjects and space flight astronauts. Bone mineral loss occurs as secondary osteoporosis due to the unloading of weight bearing bones during bed rest and space flight. Increased bone resorption and bone metabolic uncoupling prom...

Abstract
In both studies, serum calcium levels remained unchanged. Procollagen type I C-terminal propeptide was lower (P=0.03) in the bedrest phase than in the ambulatory phase in study A and tended to be lower (P=0.08) in bedrest in study B, whereas bone alkaline phosphatase was not affected in either study...

Abstract
The Frank-Starling mechanism describes the relationship between stroke volume and preload to the heart, or the volume of blood that is available to the heart--the central blood volume. Understanding the role of the central blood volume for cardiovascular control has been complicated by the fact that...

Abstract
Initial computed tomography scans of the patient revealed the presence of multiple pedicle fractures with spondylolysis. The patient was advised bed rest for the first 3 days, and when the acute pain subsided, she was permitted to ambulate with a lumbosacral corset. The patient was asymptomatic for...

Abstract
We report a case of a spontaneous occlusion of splenic pseudoaneurysm and renal pseudoaneurysm after blunt abdominal trauma. Angiography and embolization were not required, and contrast-enhanced multi-detector computed tomography was used to monitor the patient. This case shows that spontaneous occl...

Abstract
CIP is very frequent in Hungary probably due the extremely high number of previous induced abortion performed by dilatation and curettage method. CIP associates with an increased risk for preterm births; however, this increased risk was reduced by bed rest alone and mainly by therapeutic cerclage....

There is currently not enough evidence to support a policy of routine hospitalisation for bed rest in multiple pregnancy. No reduction in the risk of preterm birth or perinatal death is evident, although there is a suggestion that fetal growth may be improved. For women with an uncomplicated twin pr...

Abstract
Despite a trend toward a reduction in bedrest time after left heart catheterization (LHC) in many Canadian centres, an evidence-based standard of practice has not been established. Canadian bedrest times range from two to four hours post-LHC. Two recent prospective non-randomized studies (n = 1,000)...

Overall mortality was 14.1%. The following parameters were identified as independent death risk variables: age > 65 years, bed rest > 72h, chronic cor pulmonale, sinus tachycardia, and tachypnea. After risk stratification, mortalities of 5.4%, 17.8%, and 31.3% were found in the low, moderate and hig...
