The aim of this paper is to identify known biomechanical performance factors between ten experienced Pose runners and ten experienced Heel-toe runners. Both groups of experienced runners were compared using nine kinematic variables. The Pose Group showed a distinct biomechanical profile and was significantly different from the Heel-toe Group. Known biomechanical performance factors were identif...

Muller, Ltd. 7s. 6d. The fact that a second impression of this book has followed hard on the heels of the first, is evidence of the welcome that has been given to it, and to that welcome we would add our own. No one responsible for Children's Homes, or employed in them, should be without the book for it contains an answer to the question which the writer?an ex-Barnardo child brought up in the B...

The dielectric properties of bones are found to be influenced by the demineralisation bones. Therefore, microwave imaging (MWI) can used monitor in vivo human and hence aid monitoring osteoporosis. This paper presents feasibility analysis MWI device for Firstly, tissues present heel analysed. Secondly, a transmission line (TL) formalism approach is adopted examine feasible frequency band matchi...

BACKGROUND Heel stick is the most common painful procedure for preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units. Resultant pain causes adverse physiological effects in major organ systems. Kangaroo Care (KC), involving mother-infant skin-to-skin contact is a promising analgesic for infant pain; however, the effect of KC on the autonomic nervous system's response to pain is unknown. AIM To det...

Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of human growth have revealed almost every detail of the typical human growth pattern. Yet, the description of this pattern is still limited to the traditional vocabulary of "growth rates", i.e. height or length differences divided by certain time intervals such as months or years. Almost no information is yet available on finer details of this pattern. ...

BACKGROUND Heel prick blood sampling is a commonly performed and painful procedure in the newborn infant. Use of a topical local anaesthetic does not relieve this pain. A 4% w/w amethocaine gel (Ametop) reduces the pain of venepuncture in the newborn but has not been tried with heel pricks. AIM To investigate the effect of topical amethocaine gel on the pain of heel prick in the newborn infan...
