This study investigates the application value of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in predicting cervical cancer radiosensitivity. Twenty-five patients who were newly diagnosed as cervical cancer and accepted simple radiotherapy were included in this study. Before external irradiation, 20 GY and at the end of irradiation, routine 1.5 T MRI and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance i...

Distance to start line speed 5 s departure, distance when starting, travelled time at each leg recorded via GPS (5 Hz). Average was calculated through time. Res...

This study examined acute hormone and force responses and strength and endurance performance and muscle hypertrophy before and after 24 weeks of same-session combined strength and endurance training in previously untrained women. Subjects were assigned 1 of 2 training orders: endurance preceding strength (E + S, n = 15) or vice versa (S + E, n = 14). Acute force and hormone responses to a combi...
