Clinical applications of exercise in Parkinson’s disease: what we need to know?
Machado, Sergio; Teixeira, Diogo; Monteiro, Diogo; Imperatori, Claudio; Murillo-Rodriguez, Eric; da Silva Rocha, Fernanda Pereira; Yamamoto, TetsuyaIntroduction: Exploring the potential of exercise in the rehabilitation process of patients with Parkinson’s (PD) may be an interesting treatment perspective. Exercise-induced responses derived from neurotrophic elements appear to ameliorate the decline in neurodegeneration. Despite this understanding, the literature needs to be updated. Areas covered: Our review focuses on: a) the key mechanisms of exercise on...
Assessing the management of excessive daytime sleepiness by napping benefits
Murillo-Rodríguez, Eric; Yamamoto, Tetsuya; Monteiro, Diogo; Budde, Henning; Rocha, Nuno Barbosa; Cid, Luis; Teixeira, Diogo S.; Telles-Correia, DiogoPurpose Demanding lifestyle characterized by extended working hours, shift work schedules as well as excessive use of mobile gadgets leads to the disruption of the circadian and homeostatic factors affecting the sleep quality of individuals. As consequence, subjects complain of suffering several sleep disorders some of them characterized by inducing excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Currently, the therapeutic...
Exergames for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder: an overview
Lima, João L.; Axt, Glaciane; Teixeira, Diogo S.; Monteiro, Diogo; Cid, Luis; Yamamoto, Tetsuya; Murillo-Rodriguez, Eric; Machado, SergioAutistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder associated with various etiologies and characterized by deficits in social interaction, emotional reciprocity, communication, motor skills and cognitive functions. Studies have proposed that limited levels of physical activity and late motor skills and fitness, particularly in children and adolescents with ASD, may accentuate social and e...
The Endocannabinoid System May Modulate Sleep Disorders In Aging
Murillo-Rodríguez, Eric; Budde, Henning; Veras, André Barciela; Rocha, Nuno Barbosa; Telles-Correia, Diogo; Monteiro, Diogo; Cid, LuisAging is an inevitable process that involves changes along life in multiple neurochemical, neuroanatomical, hormonal systems, and many others. In addition, these biological modifications lead to an increase in age-related sickness such as cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, neurodegenerative disorders, and sleep disturbances, among others that affect activities of daily life. Demographic projections have dem...
COVID-19 and quarantine: expanding understanding of how to stay physically acti...
Sá Filho, Alberto Souza; Miranda, Thiago Gottgtroy; de Paula, Carolina Cavalcante; Barsanulfo, Silvio Roberto; Teixeira, Diogo; Monteiro, DiogoThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is today the biggest public health challenge in the world (Park, 2020). The first case of COVID-19 was diagnosed on December 8, 2019, in Hubei province, China. From that day, in just over 3 months, the virus has spread to more than 177 countries/areas/territories around the world, with more than 266,073 confirmed cases and 11,184 deaths, according to WHO on March 21, 2020...
The retinoid X receptor: a nuclear receptor that modulates the sleep-wake cycle...
Murillo-Rodríguez, Eric; Millán-Aldaco, Diana; Arankowsky-Sandoval, Gloria; Yamamoto, Tetsuya; Cid, Luis; Monteiro, Diogo; Rocha, Nuno BarbosaRationale The nuclear receptor retinoid X receptor (RXR) belongs to a nuclear receptor superfamily that modulates diverse functions via homodimerization with itself or several other nuclear receptors, including PPARα. While the activation of PPARα by natural or synthetic agonists regulates the sleep-wake cycle, the role of RXR in the sleep modulation is unknown. Objectives We investigated the effects of bexarot...
Physical exercise and geriatric depression: an opinion
Machado, Sérgio; Lima, João Lucas Maciel de; Paes, Flávia; Monteiro, Diogo; MOUTÃO, JOÃO; Cid, Luis; Murillo-Rodriguez, Eric; Yamamoto, TetsuyaDepression represents a common public health problem in the world. Depression in the elderly appears to follow a vulnerability-stress model, with an interaction between individual vulnerabilities, including genetic factors, age-related cognitive and neurobiological changes, and a variety of stressful events that occur more frequently in advanced ages, such as grief, financial problems, and reduction in autonomy...
Exercise is medicine: a new perspective for health promotion in bipolar disorder
Sá Filho, Alberto Souza; Cheniaux, Elie; de Paula, Carolina Cavalcante; Murillo-Rodriguez, Eric; Teixeira, Diogo; Monteiro, Diogo; Cid, LuisSimilar effects in reducing the symptoms of the mood disorder are reported in the literature compared the action of drugs and aerobic exercise sessions, demonstrating the potential of exercise in the control and mood stabilization. Therefore, there are many reasons to believe that the increased cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max) can be an important means of protection and a reducing potential of physical and me...
