Randomized Controlled TrialInfluence and significance of bilateral upper-extremity training on recovery of upper-extremity motor function for hemiplegic patients with mild-moderate cerebral apoplexy: a randomised controlled study.
The recovery of coordination ability of both hands is conductive to improving the activity of daily living for hemiplegic patients. ⋯ The improvement of upper-extremity motor function can be facilitated via relatively conventional training of bilateral upper-extremity training adopted by hemiplegic patients with mild-moderate cerebral apoplexy.

Randomized Controlled TrialInflammatory cytokines and sleep parameters response to life style intervention in subjects with obese chronic insomnia syndrome.
Chronic primary insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder that is associated with adverse effects on health outcomes. Sleep disturbance is usually associated with abnormal level of systemic inflammation biomarkers. ⋯ Life style intervention modulates systemic inflammatory parameters and sleep quality among subjects with chronic primary insomnia.
