Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) are common in contact sports. There is an association between mTBIs and altered motor function. BioSway technology measures individuals' balance using the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS). Prior to incorporating BESS testing in concussion protocol, other variables that influence the BESS test require review. The objective of this study is to determine if...

BACKGROUND Feldenkrais Method balance classes have been found to be effective in improving balance in recent studies, but there has been little research into possible mechanisms behind the effectiveness of these classes. Indeed, there has been little research into the content of any balance training classes. OBJECTIVES To analyse the content of a series of Feldenkrais Method balance classes t...

Community pharmacy is shifting its focus from traditional, product-focused roles to the provision of cognitive pharmaceutical services (CPS). Previous research has indicated that community pharmacists predominantly want devote their capacity CPS. Ideally, provided also address users' needs.

The first task of any public health service is to identify beneficial programmes by appraising the evidence. However, evidence of a favourable balance of benefit to harm in a research setting does not guarantee that a similar balance will be reproduced in practice, so screening...

A significant difference in the amount of crystalloid solution necessary to maintain the patient with adequate perfusion was first noted between two bubble oxygenators being used clinically for the past two years at the Barnes Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri. This clinical study was established to determine the degree of difference of positive fluid balance to the patient as a result of cardiopul...

Agile information systems development is not well understood and suffers from a lack of sustainable theories, which are based on empirical research of practice. We use a framework that focuses on the ‘edge of chaos’ as the area, where agile information systems development takes place to fill in this gap. Our study identifies for a concrete project under investigation, where the beneficial balan...
