Eight anesthetized sheep subjected to a multimodal hemodynamic/perfusion assessment including pulmonary artery, hepatic and portal vein catheterizations, portal/hepatic artery flow, gut tonometry, sublingual microcirculation, muscle microdialysis and hepatic mitochondrial high-resolution respirometry, were randomized to LPS or sham.
Following baseline testing, participants were randomized to either 10 weeks of: 1) physiotherapist-supervised lower limb muscle strengthening exercises, or 2) no exercises (control).
22 children, aged 5 – 18 years, were randomized to learn either breathing exercises alone or guided imagery with progressive muscle relaxation.
Following baseline testing, participants were randomized to ST or PT for 6 weeks, followed by repeated assessments of muscle strength and power and balance recovery.
The studies were small and preliminary, and none were randomized, double-blind trials.
The groups were randomized.
Thirty-one patients were randomized.
Results Twenty-nine participants were randomized.
The remaining 219 eligible patients were randomized.
They were randomized into two groups.
