conclusions it appears that the patient-caregiver education and follow-up program had a beneficial effect on the caregiver strain index compared to the usual care. results the caregiver strain index decreased significantly in the intervention group after the patient-caregiver education and follow-up (p < 0.001), while the control group’s scores did not change (p = 0.04). background in recent ye...

The application of new probiotics is a good strategy in the biological control of infectious diseases in aquaculture. Approximately 100 marine actinobacteria isolates were obtained from 10 sediment samples of shrimp farms. Heat treatment of sediment samples resulted in a selective reduction of the non actinobacterial heterotrophic microflora. Starch nitrate agar medium exhibited more efficacy t...

this paper presents a case study to determine the efficiency of the currently used heat stress indices in correlation with wet bulb globe temperature (wbgt) as a permissible index at a foundry plant and to evaluate the extent of the physiological responses such as heart rate and body temperature in correlation with heat stress indices. the field consisted of a foundry plant where a shift work w...

BACKGROUND Latest research shows that the lower resting values of right ventricular (RV) myocardial % strain may represent a physiologic change rather than subclinical myocardial damage. Therefore, we assessed load-independent changes to the RV as a consequence of high intensity training by measuring the Isovolumic acceleration (IVA) of the free wall of the RV in conjunction with NT pro-BNP mea...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physiological strain index (PSI) for different age groups during exercise-heat stress (EHS). PSI was applied to three different databases. First, from young and middle-age men (21 +/- 2 and 46 +/- 5 yr, respectively) matched (n = 9 each, P > 0.05) for maximal aerobic power. Subjects were heat acclimated by daily treadmill walking for two 50-min bout...

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess digital eye strain (DES) with the help scoring index (DESSI) in urban population. Methods: subjects were carefully selected no ocular or systemic problems that may alter results and prior written consent was obtained. This divided into two phases. Phase 1 consists reliability testing Cronbach’s alpha test-retest while phase 2 validity internal val...
