Previous studies suggest that women experience less vascular occlusion than men when generating the same relative contractile force. This study examined forearm blood flow (FBF) in women and men during isometric handgrip exercise requiring the same relative force. Thirty-eight subjects [20 women and 18 men, 22.8 +/- 0.6 yrs old (means +/- SE)] performed low- and moderate-force handgrip exercise...

OBJECTIVES To examine the activity of jaw muscles at rest and during maximal voluntary clenching (MVC) in children with unilateral posterior crossbite (UPXB) and functional lateral shift in the early mixed dentition and to evaluate sex differences. MATERIAL AND METHODS The sample included 30 children (15 males, 15 females) aged 6 to 10 years old, with UPXB and functional mandibular lateral sh...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence of motor unit doublet discharges in young and older individuals at different rates of increasing force. Participants included eight young (21.9 +/- 3.56 yr) and eight older (74.1 +/- 8.79 yr) individuals, with equal numbers of males and females in each group. Motor unit activity was recorded from the tibialis anterior during isometric ...

This study examined the electromyographic, cerebral and muscle hemodynamic responses during intermittent isometric contractions of biceps brachii at 20, 40, and 60% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). Eleven volunteers completed 2 min of intermittent isometric contractions (12/min) at an elbow angle of 90° interspersed with 3 min rest between intensities in systematic order. Surface electro...

Material and methods Long-term (96 week) data from subjects with CCR5-tropic HIV infection in the following ongoing MVC studies were included in the analysis: (1) MOTIVATE study (MVC QD and BID vs placebo (PBO), each combined with optimized background therapy in treatment-experienced [TE] subjects); and (2) MERIT study (MVC BID vs EFV, each combined with ZDV/3TC in treatmentnaïve [TN] subjects)...

Web application frameworks are managed by using different design strategies. Design strategies are applied by using different design processes. In each design process, requirement specifications are changed in to different design model that describe the detail of different data structure, system architecture, interface and components. Web application frame work is implemented by using Model Vie...

Current guidelines recommend three drug combinations to treat antiretroviral naïve HIV-infected patients; some data of novel strategies with NRTI-sparing regimen in this setting are now available [1,2]. The study compares immunovirological efficacy and safety of once daily maraviroc (MVC) plus lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) to tenofovir/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) plus LPV/r. This is an ongoing, proof...

Abstract Multi-view clustering (MVC) has attracted more and attention in the recent few years by making full use of complementary consensus information between multiple views to cluster objects into different partitions. Although there have been two existing works for MVC survey, neither them jointly takes popular deep learning-based methods consideration. Therefore, this paper, we conduct a co...

OBJECTIVES Persistent pain and psychological sequelae are common after motor vehicle collision (MVC), but their etiology remains poorly understood. Such common sequelae include whiplash-associated disorders (WAD), fibromyalgia, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Increasing evidence suggests that these disorders share overlapping epidemiologic and clinical features. A model is proposed in...
