Repeated endurance exercise affects leukocyte number but not NK cell activity

Article Abstract:

Results show an additive effect for total leukocyte and neutrophil counts with two bouts of endurance exercise in one day. However, it affects to a lesser extent lymphocyte counts and none at all in case of natural killer (NK) cell activity. Furthermore, PM exercise is more effective than AM exercise in increasing NK cell activity, indicating a diurnal effect between exercise and time of the day.

Daily weight-bearing activity does not increase the risk of diabetic foot ulcers

Article Abstract:

A 2-year cohort study involving 400 diabetic subjects with a history of foot ulcer shows that increased weight-bearing activity does not enhance the risk of foot re-ulceration. Data indicate that weight-bearing activity remains similar with or without insensate feet, suggesting similar effects on foot ulcer risk in insensate versus sensate subjects.

Acomparison of Qt and a-vO(sub)2 in individuals with HIV taking and not taking HAART

Article Abstract:

Results reveal that in HIV-infected and highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) drug taking subjects the peak peripheral muscle oxygen concentration is significantly lower as opposed to the non-infected and non-HAART and control subjects. However, no significant differences in the cardiac output (Qt) between groups are observed.
