Prevalence and severity of sleep-disordered breathing in individuals with Down syndrome using a portable home-based diagnostic device: a pilot study

Carla Nunes, Wilson Rodrigues de Freitas, Luciana Prado Maia, Rodrigo Antônio Carvalho Andraus et autres

Down syndrome (DS) is associated with craniofacial abnormalities, muscular hypotonia, and upper airway obstruction, factors that increase the risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Despite the high likelihood of sleep-disordered breathing in this population, diagnostic access remains limited, especially in low-resource settings. …

Influence of a Multicomponent Supervised Exercise Program in Frail and Pre-Frail Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)

Ana Paula Félix Arantes, Fabiana Machado Pires, Caroline Anne Brand, Rodrigo Franco de Oliveira et autres

BACKGROUND Multicomponent supervised exercise programs have demonstrated efficacy in improving physical performance and mitigating frailty in older adults, especially when adapted to functional capacity. However, evidence remains limited regarding their effects in community-dwelling frail and pre-frail individuals in Brazil. OBJECTIVE This protocol …

Laser photobiomodulation enhances cell viability and regenerative gene expression in oxidative-stressed muscle cells

Ana Flávia Spadaccini Silva-de-Oliveira, Jéssica Lúcio da Silva, Nathalia Thalitha Bernardes dos Santos, Rodrigo Antônio Carvalho Andraus et autres

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of laser photobiomodulation therapy (LPT) on muscle cells subjected to oxidative stress. The primary objective was to determine whether LPT could preserve cell viability and modulate the expression of genes associated with muscle regeneration, …
