Labor pain is a combination of physical due to myometrial contractions accompanied by stretching the lower segment uterus fused with psychological condition mother during labor. The purpose this study was determine effect deep breathing relax technique on labor intensity in active phase. Quasi-experimental Research Design pre and post test without control. sample were 16 people. Sampling purpos...

OBJECTIVE To determine the repeatability and sources of variability of clinical tests of cardiovascular autonomic function. DESIGN The commonly used electrocardiographic related tests of autonomic function were studied. Two repeat measurements of all tests were made on all subjects on four separate days over a four week period. SUBJECTS Ten normal subjects with no known autonomic dysfunctio...

The midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG) organizes basic survival behavior, which includes respiration. How the PAG controls respiration is not known. We studied the PAG control of respiration by injecting D,L-homocysteic acid in the PAG in unanesthetized precollicularly decerebrated cats. Injections in different parts of the PAG caused different respiratory effects. Stimulation in the dorsomedia...

This study aims to determine breathing techniques that can be used reduce dyspnea in COPD patients. The method is search articles on several electronic databases, namely Proquest, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Embase, and EBSCOHost, using the keywords Breathing Technique, Dyspnea, COPD. Inclusion criteria were patients, with RCT or clinical trial research designs published last ten years, intervention...

UNLABELLED This study was designed to compare tumor (18)F-FDG uptake between a single 20-s acquisition of deep-inspiration breath-hold PET/CT and free-breathing PET/CT for lung cancer. METHODS Before the clinical study, a phantom study was performed to determine the optimum breath-hold time for the PET scan. We studied 47 patients with lung cancer who underwent free-breathing PET/CT with the ...

UNLABELLED Hypertension is one of the most common health disorders, and yoga has been shown to be an effective adjunct therapy in its management. Earlier studies have reported blood pressure (BP)-lowering effects of slow, deep breathing after 3 weeks and 3 months of training and beneficial immediate effects of slow, deep breathing in reducing premature ventricular complexes and lowering blood p...

BACKGROUND A new algorithm for photon dose calculation, Acuros XB, has been recently introduced in the Eclipse, Varian treatment planning system, allowing, similarly to the classic Monte Carlo methods, for accurate modelling of dose deposition in media. Aim of the present study was the assessment of its behaviour in clinical cases. METHODS Datasets from ten breast patients scanned under diffe...

Hypertension is blood pressure that exceeds normal limits where systolic pressure> 140 mmHg and diastolic > 90 mmHg. To overcome this, it necessary to make non-pharmacological therapy, namely the application of Slow, Deep Breathing Exercises. This study aims apply Slow Exercise decrease in patients with hypertension ineffective brain tissue perfusion. The method used this research a case ...

BACKGROUND Stress can impact student performance. Yet few medical schools provide students with a consistent opportunity to develop and regularly practice stress reduction techniques to aid them academically. DESCRIPTION A curriculum component designed to assist 64 postbaccalaureate minority students in developing and practicing a stress-management technique was implemented on a regular basis...

Respiratory dysfunction is an important complication of acute stroke but its mechanisms are poorly understood. Previous indirect assessments suggest that paralysis of the diaphragm occurs contralateral to the cerebral lesion. Diaphragmatic excursion was studied with real time ultrasound during quiet and deep breathing in 50 patients within 72 hours of acute stroke and 40 controls. During quiet ...
