fluidotherapy in shock

Sepsis in the young population, which is particularly at risk, is rarely studied. O -GlcNAcylation is a post-translational modification involved in cell survival, stress response and metabolic regulation. O -GlcNAc stimulation is beneficial in adult septic rats. This modification is physiologically higher in the young rat, potentially limiting the therapeutic potential of O -GlcNAc stimulation in young septic rats. The aim is to evaluate whether O -GlcNAc stimulation can improve sepsis outcome in young rats...

CONTEXT: Therapeutic modalities that can increase intramuscular temperature commonly are used to treat injuries in the clinical setting. Researchers recently have suggested that the physiologic changes occurring during an increase in temperature also could provide a cytoprotective effect for exercise-induced muscle damage. OBJECTIVE(S): To determine if the Fluidotherapy treatment increases the inducible expression of heat shock protein (HSP), to identify the rate of heating that occurs in the lower extremity with Fluidotherapy treatment, and to evaluate the relationship between the inducible expression of HSP and temperature...
