background: the comparison between voluntary and automatic contraction of deep abdominal muscles in patients with nonspecific low back pain (nlbp) may justify being the best treat for them. the aim of this case-controlled study was to compare changes in the thickness of the transverses abdomin is (tra) and internal oblique (io) muscles during the abdominal drawing-in maneuver (adim) and the act...

the lane change maneuver is among the most popular driving behaviors. it is also the basic element of important maneuvers like overtaking maneuver. therefore, it is chosen as the focus of this study and novel multi-input multi-output adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system models (manfis) are proposed for this behavior. these models are able to simulate and predict the future behavior of a driver...

Pneumomediastinum (PnM) is an uncommon phenomenon, though it is one of the most common causes of chest pain in young adults. It may be particularly important among aviators, as it may result in in-flight incapacitation. Spontaneous PnM is a variant usually associated with the Valsalva maneuver, used during high-performance flight. This may increase the risk of PnM recurrence and raises concern ...

BACKGROUND Recent literature states that many necessary skills of CPR and first aid are forgotten shortly after certification. The purpose of this study was to determine the skill and knowledge decay in first aid in those who are paid to respond to emergency situations within a workplace. METHODS Using a choking victim scenario, the sequence and accuracy of events were observed and recorded i...

Overtaking is a maneuver that consists of passing another vehicle traveling on the same trajectory, but at slower speed. considered one most dangerous, delicate and complex maneuvers performed by vehicle, as it requires quick assessment distance speed to be overtaken, also estimation available space for maneuver. In particular, drivers have difficulty overtaking in presence vehicles coming othe...

A spin stabilized satellite reorientation maneuver in the inertial space is investigated. Spin axis pointing and nutation damping magnetic attitude control algorithms are utilized. Evolutionary equations for oscillations of a symmetrical near required position derived. The exact solution wobble amplitude obtained averaged motion. angles relative to direction analyzed. Optimal gain found maneuve...

in this research, the calculation method of aerodynamic loads on an airplane in all flight situations is presented. in order to find an calculation equation for aerodynamic loads on an airplane in all flight conditions, the f-5 aircraft is selected as a prototype is divided into one hundred small parts longitudinally. therefore, the numerical solutions are taken place in different conditions of...

BACKGROUND Medical students have difficulty performing and interpreting musculoskeletal physical examinations and interpreting the findings. Research has focused on students' knowledge deficits, but there are few direct assessments of students' ability to perform a hypothesis-driven physical examination (HDPE). We developed a novel musculoskeletal Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) focus...

Author Dr Archana Bhat Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine, Fr Mullers College Mangalore India Abstract Objective: To determine the clinical and laboratory features, bacterial profile and antibiotic sensitivity pattern of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP) in Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) patients presenting at a tertiary care hospital of Goa medical college hospital Study Design: Cr...

We report an extremely rare example of a thoracocervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema after Heimlich maneuver case.
