This study aims to investigate the effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) exposure on disturbance standing balance function assuming that cause slip, trip and fall accidents in land transportation industry is related WBV when traveling vehicles. In experiment, ten participants underwent 60 min virtual driving a simulator (DS) for exposure. addition, measurements were conducted before exposure, i...

Florida apple snails (Pomacea paludosa) were exposed to three concentrations of copper (Cu), in water (8 microg/L, 16 microg/L, 24 microg/L), for one generation to examine uptake and the effects on survival, growth, and reproduction of the F(0) generation and survival, growth, and whole body Cu of the F(1) generation. During a 9-month Cu exposure, apple snails exposed to 8-16 microg/L Cu had hi...

Background: Recovery strategies are often used with the intention of preventing or minimising muscle soreness after exercise. Whole-body cryotherapy, which involves a single or repeated exposure(s) to extremely cold dry air (below -100 °C) in a specialised chamber or cabin for two to four minutes per exposure, is currently being advocated as an effective intervention to reduce muscle soreness a...

Phthalates are extensively used as plasticizers in a variety of daily-life products, resulting in widespread distribution in aquatic environments. However, limited information is available on the endocrine disrupting effects of phthalates in aquatic organisms. The aim of the present study was to examine whether exposure to mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP), the hydrolytic metabolite of di-(2...

Radiation can potentially suppress neovascularization by inhibiting the incorporation of hematopoietic precursors as well as damaging mature endothelial cells. The purpose of these studies was to quantify the effect of radiation on angiogenesis and to examine the relationship between bone marrow reconstitution and neovascularization. Immune competent, severe combined immunodeficient, RAG1-defic...

background: deficiency of attention and concentration is one of great reasons of traffic incidents and it covers between 20 to 50 percent of events due to careless and mindedness. studies show that attention and concentration are considered as one of important cognitive components in safe driving. vibration is an important physical effect in all vehicles. till now has not been any organized stu...
