Physical activity, particularly walking, is commonly used for the treatment of diseases such as low back pain. In this study, the effects of walking wearing the new ToneFit Reha training belt (TFR) were compared to both Nordic walking and regular walking. The TFR is intended to intensify the effects of walking through the integration of two adjustable resistance handles. Ten patients with low back pain performed regular walking, Nordic walking, and walking with the TFR...

Background: Functionally relevant coronary artery disease (fCAD), causing symptoms of myocardial ischemia, can currently only be reliably detected with advanced cardiac imaging. Serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) is a biomarker for neuro-axonal injury known to be elevated by cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and cerebrovascular small-vessel diseases. Due to their pathophysiological similarities with fCAD and the link to CV risk factors, we hypothesised that sNfL may have diagnostic and prognostic value for fCAD and adverse cardiovascular...

Background: Understanding stakeholders’ (parents’, communities’ and health workers’) perspectives of communication about childhood vaccination, including their preferences for its format, delivery and content, is an important step towards designing better communication strategies and ensuring more informed parents. Our objectives were to explore stakeholders’ views, experiences and preferences for childhood vaccination communication in Cameroon. Methods: In 2014, in the Central and North West Regions of Cameron, we gathered qualitative data for our case study using the...
