Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been widely reported (13% - 50%) as a complication of Rhabdomyolysis in which the main pathophysiological mechanisms are intra-renal vasoconstriction, intraluminal cast formation (Tamm-Horsefall) and direct myoglobin toxicity. In this report we are going to describe the management of Acute Kidney Injury due to Rhabdomyolysis that is not responding to vigorous rehydration. Objective: Reporting about acute renal failure induced by Rhabdomyolysis due to Excessive Exercise and dehydration in young patient. Case Report: A 20 years male came to the outpatient clinic complaining of sever lower limb pain, back pain and vomiting. He was anuric and hypertensive (BP = 150/90 mmHg) with serum creatinine and urea levels of 15.72 mg/dl and 235 mg/dl, respectively. The diagnosis was based on the laboratory finding of creatine kinase = 3127 IU/l. The patient, then, has been referred to the emergency department. The Management plan was based on two arms: Emergency Management with Urgent Hemodialysis for AKI and high fluid replacement therapy. Patient started to recover after three hemodialysis sessions but the peak of recovery was noted after starting manual fluid replacement therapy with a target urine output of greater than 2 ml/kg, a urine pH of greater than 6. Manual fluid replacement therapy consisted of loop diuretics, intravenous fluids and intravenous sodium bicarbonate 1.26%. Full recovery was noted after one month of hospital admission with inpatient care and regular follow-up. A follow-up after one month has been set to assess the patient progression and monitor his kidney functions. Relevance and Impact: Home messages and lessons are;Firstly, young adults are vulnerable to Rhabdomyolysis, second, the diagnosis of Rhabdomyolysis can be made on the clinical bases but a confirmatory laboratory test of Creatine Kinase is mandatory, and lastly’ acute kidney injury needs to be treated urgently. Also, reducing the risk of infection is one of the management objectives to achieve recovery.展开更多

The purpose of this study was to assess attentional focus and RPE during high-intensity exercise as a function of being exposed to music, video, both(music and video), or a no-treatment control condition.Methods: During the first session, healthy men(n = 15) completed a maximal fitness test to determine the workload necessary for high-intensity exercise(operationalized as 125% ventilatory threshold) to be performed during subsequent sessions. On 4 subsequent days, they completed 20 min of high-intensity exercise in a no-treatment control condition or while listening to music, watching a video, or both. Attentional focus, RPE,heart rate, and distance covered were measured every 4 min during the exercise.Results: Music and video in combination resulted in significantly lower RPE across time(partial η~2= 0.36) and the size of the effect increased over time(partial η~2= 0.14). Additionally, music and video in combination resulted in a significantly more dissociative focus than the other conditions(partial η~2= 0.29).Conclusion: Music and video in combination may result in lower perceived exertion during high-intensity exercise when compared to music or video in isolation. Future research will be necessary to test if reductions in perceived exertion in response to dissociative attentional stimuli have implications for exercise adherence.展开更多

This prospective and observational study aimed to elucidate blood pressure changes induced by exposure to high-altitude hypoxia and the relationships of these changes with AMS prevalence, AMS severity, sleep quality and exercise condition in healthy young men.Methods: A prospective observational study was performed in 931 male young adults exposed to high altitude at 3,700 m(Lhasa) from low altitude(LA, 500 m). Blood pressure measurement and AMS symptom questionnaires were performed at LA and on day 1, 3, 5, and 7 of exposure to high altitude. Lake Louise criteria were used to diagnose AMS. Likewise, the Athens Insomnia Scale(AIS) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale(ESS) were filled out at LA and on day 1, 3, and 7 of exposure to high altitude.Results: After acute exposure to 3,700 m, diastolic blood pressure(DBP) and mean arterial blood pressure(MABP) rose gradually and continually(P【0.05). Analysis showed a relationship with AMS for only MABP(P【0.05) but not for SBP and DBP(P】0.05). Poor sleeping quality was generally associated with higher SBP or DBP at high altitude, although inconsistent results were obtained at different time(P【0.05). SBP and Pulse BP increased noticeably after high-altitude exercise(P【0.05).Conclusions: Our data demonstrate notable blood pressure changes under exposure to different high-altitude conditions: 1) BP increased over time. 2) Higher BP generally accompanied poor sleeping quality and higher incidence of AMS. 3) SBP and Pulse BP were higher after high-altitude exercise. Therefore, we should put more effort into monitoring BP after exposure to high altitude in order to guard against excessive increases in BP.展开更多

文摘Introduction: Rhabdomyolysis is severe and life threating condition in which skeletal muscles are damaged by dissolution of striped muscles. Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been widely reported (13% - 50%) as a complication of Rhabdomyolysis in which the main pathophysiological mechanisms are intra-renal vasoconstriction, intraluminal cast formation (Tamm-Horsefall) and direct myoglobin toxicity.

He was anuric and hypertensive (BP = 150/90 mmHg) with serum creatinine and urea levels of 15.72 mg/dl and 235 mg/dl, respectively. The diagnosis was based on the laboratory finding of creatine kinase = 3127 IU/l. The patient, then, has been referred to the emergency department. The Management plan was based on two arms: Emergency Management with Urgent Hemodialysis for AKI and high fluid replacement therapy. Patient started to recover after three hemodialysis sessions but the peak of recovery was noted after starting manual fluid replacement therapy with a target urine output of greater than 2 ml/kg, a urine pH of greater than 6. Manual fluid replacement therapy consisted of loop diuretics, intravenous fluids and intravenous sodium bicarbonate 1.26%. Full recovery was noted after one month of hospital admission with inpatient care and regular follow-up. A follow-up after one month has been set to assess the patient progression and monitor his kidney functions.

文摘Purpose:The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of flui replacement by water or sports drinks on serum heat shock protein 70(HSP70) levels and DNA damage during exercise at a high ambient temperature.Methods:Ten male college athletes with an athletic career ranging from 6 to 11 years were recruited from Yonsei University.The subjects ran on a treadmill at 75% of heart rate reserve during 4 different trials:thermoneutral temperature at 18℃(T),high ambient temperature at 32℃ without flui replacement(H),high ambient temperature at 32℃ with water replacement(HW),and high ambient temperature at 32℃ with sports drink replacement(HS).During each condition,blood samples were collected at the pre-exercise baseline(PEB),immediately after exercise(IAE),and60 min post-exercise.Results:Skin temperature significant y increased during exercise and was significant y higher in H compared to T and HS at IAE.Meanwhile,serum HSP70 was significant y increased in all conditions at IAE compared to PEB and was higher in H compared to T at the former time point.Significant y increased lymphocyte DNA damage(DNA in the tail,tail length,tail moment) was observed in all trials at IAE compared to PEB,and attenuated DNA damage(tail moment) was observed in HS compared to H at IAE.Conclusion:Acute exercise elevates serum HSP70 and induces lymphocyte DNA damage.Fluid replacement by sports drink during exercise at high ambient temperature can attenuate HSP response and DNA damage by preventing dehydration and reducing thermal stress.

文摘Isometric exercise(IE)is a promising intervention of noninvasive revascularization in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).This study aimed to investigate the impact and mechanisms of IE training on arteriogenesis in AMI.Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into the sham-operation group(SO),myocardial infarction(MI)group,and 13 IE subgroups treated according to training intensity,frequency,duration,or monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1),or/and fibroblast growth factor-2(FGF-2)inhibitors for eight weeks.Our results demonstrated that the IE group achieved superior improvement compared with the MI group in terms of left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),myocardial infarction size(MIS),arterial density(AD),monocytes(MNCs),smooth muscle cells(SMCs),endothelial cells(ECs),relative collateral blood flow(RCBF),MCP-1,and FGF-2 at the endpoint.Positive correlations between MCP-1 and MNCs,MNCs and FGF-2,FGF-2 and SMCs,SMCs and AD,as well as AD and RCBF were observed.This study demonstrated that with MI of 100%load 20 times daily for eight weeks,the arteriogenesis was improved,which may be attributed to the recruitment of MNCs and SMCs in remote ischemic myocardium caused by increases in MCP-1 and FGF-2 expression.
文摘Several mechanisms may explain how exercise training mechanistically confers protection against coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19).Here we propose two new perspectives through which cardiorespiratory fitness may protect against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2(SARS-CoV-2).Physical exercise-activated adenosine monophosphate(AMP)-activated protein kinase(AMPK)signaling induces endothelial nitric oxide(NO)synthase(eNOS),increases NO bio-availability,and inhibits palmitoylation,leading to specific and immediate SARS-CoV-2 protection.AMPK signaling also induces angiotensin 1-7 release and enhances eNOS activation thus further mediating cardio-and renoprotection.Irisin,a myokine released from skeletal muscles during aerobic exercise,also participates in the AMPK/Akt-eNOS/NO pathway,protects mitochondrial functions in endothelial cells,and antagonizes renin angiotensin system proinflammatory action leading to reductions in genes associated with severe COVID-19 outcomes.Collectively,all the above findings point to the fact that increased AMPK and irisin activity through exercise training greatly benefits molecular processes that mediate specific,immediate,and delayed SARS-CoV-2 protection.Maintaining regular physical activity levels is a safe and affordable lifestyle strategy against the current and future pandemics and may also mitigate against obesity and cardiometabolic disease syndemics.Move more because a moving target is harder to kill.
