The principle of Interval Hypoxic Therapy/Training (IHT) is based on alternation of multiple brief exposures to normobaric hypoxia (breathing in a hypoxic gas mixture using a mask) and subsequent reoxygenation (normoxia breathing in ambient air). IHT regimens are customised individually depending on the IHT purpose and the functional state of the patients. An IHT session consists of alternating...

In peer Instruction, students engage with core course concepts and then explain those to one another in small groups. Unlike lecture format, instruction involves every student the class. Spring 2019, first authot began using a modified version of Calculus III classes. He started each class by discussing important from three standpoints (the formula, geometry behind physics formula). During last...

METHODS Indepth interviews were done until theoretical saturation was achieved. 24 interviews were tape recorded. Notes were taken of the other 4 interviews. Mean duration of interviews was 80 minutes (range 50–180 min). After the interviews, each participant spent >30 minutes in a debriefing session. Open, axial, and selective coding processes were used. Analysis included making constant compa...

Skeletal muscle is the single largest tissue in the body, making up 25-50% of one’s total body weight. As radiologists, we image many of the body’s 434 muscles each day -both intentionally and incidentally. When evaluating the health of muscle, our most sophisticated radiological technique is MRI [1-2]. In this session, we review four topics that aid in understanding and diagnosing injuries of ...

OBJECTIVE This study investigated differences in relaxation induced by guided imagery in healthy community samples. METHODS One hundred forty-eight people took part in our investigation. The mean age of the 50 males and 98 females was 39.36 +/- 11.86 years. We took saliva samples to measure salivary cortisol (SC) before the first session, after the first session, and after the second session....

Background We examined executive functions by testing cognitive flexibility, problem solving and response maintenance means of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) on two consecutive days. This could render performance gains obtained in second assessment Mild Cognitive Impaired (MCI) subjects, contrast to a preserved function group (Control, CTRL group). Method 17 older adults were evaluated ...

Objectives. In our study we are aiming to analyse the learning curves in our surgical trainees by using two standard methods of intracorporeal knot tying. Material and Method. Two randomized groups of trainees are trained with two different intracorporeal knot tying techniques (loop and winding) by single surgeon for eight sessions. In each session participants were allowed to make as many numb...

A wireless ad-hoc network is a collection of autonomous nodes that communicate with each other by each node acting as router and maintaining connectivity in a decentralized manner. The network topology is dynamic because the connectivity among the nodes may vary with time due to node departure, new arrivals and the possibility of having mobilenodes. In this paper, weexplore the effect on per se...
