Family Focused Grief Therapy (FFGT) is a new model of brief intervention, which is commenced during palliative care for those families shown to be at high risk of poor adaptation, and continued preventively into bereavement with the aim of improving family functioning and reducing the morbid consequences of grief. In this paper, baseline data on 81 families (363 individuals) selected by screeni...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to quantify the effects of a metabolic treatment on human muscle dynamic performance (strength, work, and fatigue) measured under conditions of acute, exhaustive high-intensity anaerobic isokinetic exercise. METHODS Unilateral prefatigue and postfatigue peak torque and work values were measured in the quadriceps femoris of 13 subjects using a computer-con...

BACKGROUND Patients with COPD show a significant reduction of the lobar hyperinflation at the functional residual capacity level in the patients who improved >120 mL in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) after 6 months of treatment with roflumilast in addition to inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs)/long-acting beta-2 agonists (LABAs)/long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMAs). METHODS Fun...

BACKGROUND Fall-related injuries (FRIs) result in morbidity and mortality for patients, as well as unnecessary expense to health care institutions. OBJECTIVES (a) Estimate the incidence of falls and FRIs with a nursing home as the source of admission in Veterans Administration (VA) and non-VA facilities. (b) Estimate the cost of hospitalizations for each level of FRI severity. RESEARCH DESI...

BACKGROUND Non-invasive planar fluorescence reflectance imaging (FRI) is used for accessing physiological and molecular processes in biological tissue. This method is efficiently used to detect superficial fluorescent inclusions. FRI is based on recording the spatial radiance distribution (SRD) at the surface of a sample. SRD provides information for measuring structural parameters of a fluores...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether single injections of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into symptomatic degenerative intervertebral disks will improve participant-reported pain and function. DESIGN Prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled study. SETTING Outpatient physiatric spine practice. PARTICIPANTS Adults with chronic (≥6 months), moderate-to-severe lumbar diskogenic pain ...

Employees of the Forest Research Institute (FRI) KarRC RAS have contributed greatly to study biodiversity vascular plants, aphyllophoroid, sac and basidial fungi lichens Republic Karelia. Studies plants various groups been carried out since FRI foundation in 1957 are continuing successfully at present, with new tasks being set geographic range interests expanding cover entire Northwest Russia. ...

The autonomous floral promotion pathway plays a key role in the regulation of flowering in rapid-cycling Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) by providing constitutive repression of the floral inhibitor FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC). As a result, autonomous pathway mutants contain elevated levels of FLC and are late flowering. Winter annual Arabidopsis, in contrast, contain functional alleles of FRIGID...

The focus of this paper is the problem of foot rotation in biped robots during the single support phase. Foot rotation is an indication of postural instability and should be carefully treated in a dynamically stable walk and avoided altogether in a statically stable walk. We introduce the foot rotation indicator (FRI) point which is a point on the foot/ground contact surface where the net groun...
