objectives the aim of this study was to examine temporal changes in technical and physical performances during a small-sided game (ssg) in elite soccer players. methods sixty elite youth players (age 14.8 ± 0.2 yr; stature 177 ± 5 cm; body mass 66.2 ± 4.7 kg) completed a 5 v 5 ssg using two repetitions of 8 minutes interspersed by 3 minutes of passive recovery. to evaluate temporal changes in p...

INTRODUCTION Nasopharnygeal carcinoma (NPC) is characterised by early metastases with the skeleton being the most common site of metastases. The ability to prognosticate survival is crucial in the decision whether or not to offer surgery to these patients and the choice of surgery offered. We aimed to evaluate the scoring systems namely: Bauer, Katagiri and Scandinavian Sarcoma Group (SSG) in N...

BACKGROUND A valuable weapon in the arsenal available to yeast geneticists is the ability to introduce specific mutations into yeast genome. In particular, methods have been developed to introduce deletions into the yeast genome using PCR fragments. These methods are highly efficient because they do not require cloning in plasmids. RESULTS We have modified the existing method for introducing ...

We consider recursive Bayesian filtering where the posterior is represented as a Gaussian mixture model (GMM), and the likelihood function as a sum of scaled Gaussians (SSG). In each iteration of filtering, the number of components increases. We propose an algorithm for simplifying a GMM into a reduced mixture model with fewer components, which is based on maximizing a variational lower bound o...

Aim: This study aimed to compare the heart rate (HR) values and technical actions frequencies during small-sided (SSG) generic (GG) games in women futsal players. Methods: Six players (age: 20.5 ± 7.4 years, height: 163.3 16 cm, body mass: 57.9 22 kg, maximum of oxygen consumption (VO2max): 42.0 9 mL.kg.min−1) performed two experimental conditions days separated for at least 72h interval: (1) o...

Soccer is a team sport that requires players to process significant amount of information quickly and respond with both speed accuracy the ever-changing demands game. As such, success in soccer depends not only on physical attributes but also cognitive abilities such as perception decision-making. The aim current study was investigate acute effects caffeine ingestion Stroop test performance bef...

BACKGROUND In the late twentieth century, emergence of high rates of treatment failure with antimonial compounds (SSG) for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused a public health crisis in Bihar, India. We hypothesize that exposure to arsenic through drinking contaminated groundwater may be associated with SSG treatment failure due to the development of antimony-resistant parasites. METHODS A retr...

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a fraction of blood with a platelet concentration above baseline. When platelets get activated, growth factors involved in wound healing are released. The application of PRP has shown good results in wound care, however, up to date no substantial research has been performed on the effect of PRP in burn treatment. This randomized double blind intra-patient controlle...
