Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Electromagnetic stimulation as coadjuvant in the healing of diaphyseal femoral fractures: a randomized controlled trial.
There is controversy in medical literature regarding the use of electromagnetic fields to promote bone healing. ⋯ This study suggests that an electromagnetic field stimulus can promote earlier bone healing compared to placebo in femoral diaphyseal fractures. Faster bone healing translates into sooner weight bearing, which--in turn--permits quicker return to normal daily activities.

Caffeine modifies blood glucose availability during prolonged low-intensity exercise in individuals with type-2 diabetes.
The study investigated the effect of supplementation with maltodextrin (CHO) alone or associated to caffeine during exercise in T2DM subjects. ⋯ Supplementation with 1.5 mg/kg of caffeine reduces BG concentration during prolonged exercise in T2DM patients.
