Aims: To understand the sagittal and mobility characteristics of thoracolumbar segment spine in students specialising physical dance. METHODS: Sagittal curvature was measured 35 standard dance students, 41 Latin 43 general university using Spinal Mouse electrometer. Results: (1) In upright position, T9/10 to L4/5 significantly less dance-specific girls than regular female (p<0.05). (2) The T...

Tracheal intubation and direct laryngoscopy are considered as the most critical event during administration of general anaesthesia. Dexmedetomidine is an alfa-2 adrenergic agonist use for control of haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. Our study consisted 60 patients of ASA grade I or II, scheduled for elective gynaecological, general and ENT surgery, divided into two ...

In Difco nutrient broth, containing 0.5 per cent NaCl, pH 6.6, Escherichia coli phages T1, T2, and T5 were inactivated at 66 degrees C., and T7 at 60 degrees C., at nearly the same rate. In each case the rate of destruction was not uniform but more or less decreased with time of heating. With T2 there was an initial increase in number of infective centers after heating for several minutes at 66...

The aim of the study was to conduct a long-term follow-up on the stability of the hard tissues after bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) with rigid internal fixation (RIF)to set back the mandible and to compare it with that of mandibular advancement performed by the same team of surgeons and with the same examination protocol. Seventeen consecutive patients (6 females and 11 males) could ...

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of amino acid supplementation on muscular strength, power, and high-intensity endurance during short-term resistance training overreaching. Seventeen resistance-trained men were randomly assigned to either an amino acid (AA) or placebo (P) group and underwent 4 weeks of total-body resistance training consisting of two 2-week phases of overrea...

Chinese cork oak ( Quercus variabilis ) is a widely distributed and highly valuable deciduous broadleaf tree from both ecological economic perspectives. Seeds of this species are recalcitrant, i.e., sensitive to desiccation, which affects their storage long-term preservation germplasm. However, little known about the underlying molecular mechanism desiccation sensitivity Q. seeds. In study, see...

Acanthamoeba species are free-living amoebae that can be found in almost every range of environments. Within this genus, a number of species are recognized as human pathogens, potentially causing Acanthamoeba keratitis, granulomatous amoebic encephalitis, and chronic granulomatous lesions. Soil and water samples were taken from experimental station at Julianna Major of Plant Protection Institut...
