BIAL Foundation Archive
Start date: 1994
History:
The BIAL Foundation was created in 1994 by Laboratórios BIAL in conjunction with the Council of Rectors of Portuguese Universities. BIAL’s Foundation mission is to foster the scientific study of Man from both the physical and spiritual perspectives.
Along the years the BIAL Foundation has developed an important relationship with the scientific community, first in Portugal and after worldwide. Today it is an institution of reference which aims to stimulate new researches that may help people, promote more health and contribute to new milestones to gain access to knowledge.
Among its activities the BIAL Foundation manages the BIAL Award, created in 1984, one of the most important awards in the Health field in Europe. The BIAL Award rewards both the basic and the clinical research distinguishing works of major impact in medical research.
The BIAL Foundation also assigns Scientific Research Scholarships for the study of neurophysiological and mental health in people, arousing the interest of researchers in the areas of Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
To date the BIAL Foundation has supported 461 projects, more than 1000 researchers, with research groups in twenty-seven countries, resulting, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, out of which 172 published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Since 1996 the BIAL Foundation organizes the Symposia entitled "Behind and Beyond the Brain", a Forum that gathers well renowned neurosciences speakers and the BIAL Foundation Fellows which are spread around the world.
Classified as an institution of public utility, the BIAL Foundation includes among its patrons the Portuguese President, the Portuguese Universities Rectors' Council and the Portuguese Medical Association.

Title: BIAL Grants
Start date: 1994
History:
In 1994 the BIAL Foundation launched a programme of science research grants with the aim of encouraging the research into Man’s physical and mental processes, namely in fields still largely unexplored but which warrant further scientific analysis, as Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
Since its launch, applications to the BIAL grants have been increasing. Up to now 461 projects have been supported, involving more than 1000 researchers from 27 countries.
The approved applications have benefited from grants in amounts comprised between €5,000 and €50, 000. The amount to be granted is fixed by the Scientific board according to the needs of each project.
The supported projects have originated, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, 172 out of which were published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Among the BIAL Foundation fellows is worth highlighting the presence of scientists from prestigious universities from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Russia, Germany, Japan, France, Canada, and many others.
The BIAL grants are promoted biannually.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the AOL program on the physiological and psychological well-being of healthy volunteers and to determine significantly changed markers in order to use them in subsequent studies. Comprehensive yogic program consisting of yogic postures, unique breathing exercises, relaxation techniques and stress management has been applied. Effect was measured by a) physiological parameters - metabolic, inflammatory, oxido-reductive and stress status, as well as cardiovascular and autonomic system parameters, and b) psychological parameters - health status, satisfaction with life, quality of life, self-esteem, emotional status, anxiety and neuroticism. The study included pre-post test design with wait-listed control group. Intervention group participated in the initial 6 day course, with regular daily home practice and weekly follow-ups for a period of three months.
Results of this study show: a) psychological parameters - significant decrease in anxiety and negative emotions, significant increase of positive emotions, increase in self-esteem and overall satisfaction with life. Health self-estimate shows that after the course participants exibit better social functioning, smaller emotional barriers regarding everyday challanges, increased health self-estimate, better mental health and vitality; b) physiological parameters – significant decrease of total and LDL cholesterol, and slight increase of cortisol were measured immediately after the course. Three months after the course statistically significant decrease of total cholesterol and diastolic pressure, and slight increase of super oxide bismutase and C-reactive protein were measured. Most significant changes were measured for spirometric parameters which points to more effective pulmonary function. As the changes of psychological parameters were most prominent immediately after the course, changes in physiological parameters show slower trend, with increased changes three months after the course.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the AOL yogic breathing program1-7 on the physiological and psychological well-being of healthy volunteers and to determine significantly changed markers in order to use them in subsequent studies. Both, experimental and control groups consisted of 40 healthy volonteers.
Comprehensive program consisting of yogic postures, unique breathing exercises, relaxation techniques and stress management has been applied. Effect was measured by; a) physiological parameters – metabolic, inflammatory, oxido-reductive and stress status, as well as cardiovascular and autonomic system parameters, and b) psychological parameters - general health status, satisfaction with life, quality of life, self-esteem, emotional status, anxiety and neuroticism. The study included pre-post test design with wait-listed control group. Intervention group participated in the initial 6 day course, with regular daily home practice and weekly follow-ups for a period of 3 months.
Results of this study show: a) psychological parameters - significant decrease in anxiety and negative emotions, significant increase of positive emotions, increase in self-esteem and overall satisfaction with life. Health self-estimate shows that after the course participants exibit better social functioning, smaller emotional barriers regarding everyday challanges, increased health self-estimate, better mental health and vitality; b) physiological parameters – significant decrease of total and LDL cholesterol, and slight increase of cortisol were measured immediately after the course. Statistically significant decrease of total cholesterol and diastolic pressure, and slight increase of super oxide bismutase and C-reactive protein were measured 3 months after the course. Most significant changes were measured for spirometric parameters pointing to improved pulmonary function.
The changes of psychological parameters were most prominent immediately after the course, while changes in physiological parameters show slower trend. Significant improvement in psychological parameters decrease with the time showing the need for regular practice of the AOL program to keep positive changes initiated during the workshop. Physiological parameters show smaller changes that are additionally shielded by the large deviations of biomedical parameters. In order to improve statistical power for studied physiological parameters, larger number of subjects should be included.
