Title: Comparable acute effects of high intensity interval exercise and continuous exercise on fat oxidation and exercise enjoyment in overweight perimenopausal women
Biography:
Giannopoulou is a Senior Lecturer in Exercise, Health and Nutrition Science in the University of Brighton, School of Sport and Service Management in the United Kingdom. Her research is focused on the effects of exercise and nutrition on the overall health and wellbeing of older women and obese and clinical populations with cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and mental health. She has published more than 20research papers in reputable research journals and has been serving as an Editorial Board Member in peerreviewed journals like Frontiers of Nutrition, Obesity Research and European Journal of Nutrition.
Abstract:
Menopause dramatically increases the risk of obesity and related chronic diseases. Preventive lifestyle interventions of exercise and diet can have cardiometabolic protective effects in this high risk population. High intensity interval exercise (HIIE) has been recently shown to be an advantageous exercise mode as it requires less time and it can lead to faster health improvements compared to continuous exercise (CE). However, no studies have investigated whether HIIE can lead to enhanced fat oxidation rates and exercise enjoyment in older women. The purpose of the present study is to compare the acute effects of CE versus HIIE on fat oxidation and exercise enjoyment in overweight perimenopausal women. Seven perimenopausal women (age: 45.1±1.8 yrs, fat mass: 37.8±2.2%) completed a baseline VO2 peak test and two experimental trials: HIIE and CE. HIIE consisted of eight alternating intervals of 4-minutes walking at 90% heart rate peak (HRP) and 3-minutes at 70% HRP for a total exercise time of 28 minutes. To ensure similar energy expenditure, CE consisted of walking at 70% HRP for 47 minutes. Similar rates of fat oxidation during exercise were found between the two trials. Both trials led to similar scores in exercise enjoyment ((HIIE: 4.9 vs. CE: 3.7, p=0.11), while the HIIE led to slightly greater levels of perceived exertion (HIIE: 14.1 Vs. CE: 13.1, p=0.01). In conclusion, an acute session of HIIE can lead to similar benefits in fat oxidation and exercise enjoyment as the traditionally prescribed CE, while requesting participants to exercise for considerably less time.

Title: The effect of telehealth versus usual care for home-care patients with long-term conditions: A systematic review, meta-analysis and qualitative synthesis
Biography:
Sophie McFarland is a distinguished academic and researcher at Coventry University, UK, specializing in the fields of nutrition science and food technology. With a strong background in dietetics and public health, her work bridges the gap between research innovation and practical applications aimed at improving global health outcomes.
Abstract:
Approximately 26 million people in the United Kingdom are living with one long-term condition and 10 million are living with two or more; these figures are projected to continue increasing (NHS England 2018). People with long-term conditions are two to three times more likely to have poor psychological wellbeing and utilise 50% of GP appointments, 64% of outpatient appointments and over 70 of inpatient bed days. Research in this population could help with increasing constraints on healthcare budgets and resources. Technology-enabled healthcare in the community might help improve quality of life and reduce healthcare costs of managing chronic disease but the overall impact is unclear, we therefore conducted a systematic review.

Abstract:
In clinical practice, biomarkers can provide complementary information to conventional pulmonary tests, symptoms, spirometry, exhaled nitric oxide, PC20 methacholine and histamine . They are useful in establishing diagnosis, monitoring of the disease progression and in response to treatment. The development of non-invasive sampling methods and detection techniques for the identification of components involved in airway inflammation including the determination of biomarkers would greatly contribute to our current insight in airway inflammation associated with various asthma phenotypes as well as to customize individually-targeted therapies. In children reliable non-invasive biomarkers would be valuable.
We applied metabolomic analysis to study the association between urinary organic acid concentrations and pulmonary function in 72 Caucasian children (5-12 years) with asthma determined by gas chromatography and mass.

Abstract:
Defects attributable to drug therapy represent about 1% of congenital defects of known aetiology. This means that a precautionary attitude and correct use of drugs in fertile, and especially pregnant, women is a feasible form of prevention. Drugs currently in use with proven teratogenic effect number approximately 25, but new pharmaceutical drugs are constantly in preparation. Recognition of a drug-induced teratogenic effect is a complex procedure taking into account not only experimental animal data but also experience in humans. Considering that 40% of pregnancies are not planned, it follows that any drug with known or suspected teratogenic potential must be used only under strict medical control. Also, adequate knowledge on potential teratogenicity of a drug permits modification of therapy before conception. It goes without saying that any drug should be used during pregnancy only if it is essential, and it would be prudent to use only those where adequate information is provided and prior clinical experience is available. Teratology Information Services can assist both physicians and patients when any doubt exists.
