While many studies have discussed the effectiveness of interventions using different yoga techniques and teachings with various populations, there has been less research on the effectiveness of yoga therapy. Viniyoga therapists utilize the principles of Viniyoga, a type of yoga developed by Krishnamacharya, to provide therapeutic yogic interventions to individual clients in order to improve functioning and relieve suffering. This qualitative study conducted interviews with fourteen Viniyoga trained yoga therapists [...]

In this qualitative study, the impact of therapeutic Viniyoga on health and healing was explored from the perspective of 14 Viniyoga therapists who were interviewed on their perceptions of how yoga therapy contributes to the health and healing of their clients. A philosophical definition of Therapeutic Viniyoga was developed. Three themes related to health and healing from the perspective of Viniyoga therapists were identified using NVivo and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis procedures: The definition of he [...]

Newborn screening for neuromuscular disorders and glycogen or fatty acid oxidation disorders aims to identify infants at risk for these conditions, allowing for early intervention and management. While not all neuromuscular disorders currently have established newborn screening programs, there are various disorders for which screening is available or under investigation. Neuromuscular disorders encompass a wide range of conditions that affect the nerve, muscle, or the connection between them. Examples include spina [...]

Early changes in systemic vascular stiffness and endothelial function can contribute to altered cerebrovascular hemodynamics and impaired cognitive function; additionally, these vascular changes point to potential targets for prevention and treatment strategies in people with mild cognitive impairment. Although the pathogenic mechanisms underlying these vascular changes are heterogeneous and complex, one common feature is the development of cerebral blood flow (CBF) dysregulation, resulting in chronic cerebral hypo [...]

This work addresses the main results of a test site for small wind turbines (SWTs) located in Patagonia, and the development of the measurement systems involved, including the uncertainties calculations according to applicable IEC standards. Due to market evolution for over a decade, the test systems evolved from battery-charging SWTs to grid-connected units. The test site, developed and managed by state-owned INTI (National Institute for Industrial Technology), was established in 2012 and received support from the [...]

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) remains the only curative treatment for bone marrow failure (BMF) and hematologic complications of Fanconi anemia (FA). The evolution remains affected by the toxicity, the risk of graft failure, and clonal evolution. This study aimed to identify factors affecting outcomes in FA patients after allo-HSCT. We included FA patients who underwent allo-HSCT between January 2006 and December 2021. The conditioning regimen was cyclophosphamide/fludarabine (Cy/Fl [...]

The Myristicaceae family, particularly the Knema genus, is renowned for its diverse bioactive compounds, including lignans, flavonoids, and phenolics. This study explores the phytochemical profile of Knema hookeriana Warb. leaves and evaluates their potential as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. Phytochemical extraction was performed using a cold maceration method with a polarity-gradient solvent system (hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol). The isolated compounds were purified through chromatographic techniq [...]

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiomyopathy, affecting approximately 1 in 500 people. It is the most common genetic cardiomyopathy inherited as a Mendelian trait in approximately 50% of patients, mainly due to pathogenic variants in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins. Mutations in the sarcomeric protein filamin C (FLNC) gene, with a cytogenetic localization on 7q32.1, have been linked to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, as they have been determined to increase the risk of ventricular a [...]
