Torso joints can be considered as the landmarks of human body. An action consists of a series of body poses which are determined by the positions of the joints. With the rapid development of RGB-D camera technique and pose estimation research, the acquisition of the body joints has become much easier than before. Thus, we propose to incorporate joint positions with currently popular deep-learne...

This study examined the effect of three different body positions on distortion-product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) amplitude and noise levels with multiple primary tone pairs simultaneously-presented to 36 normal-hearing female human adults. Other studies have demonstrated that the simultaneously presented tone pairs method shows clinical promise as a screener, but the sequential method remain...

RATIONALE The changes in body position can cause changes in lung function, it is necessary to understand them, especially in the postoperative upper abdominal surgery, since these patients are susceptible to postoperative pulmonary complications. OBJECTIVE To assess the vital capacity in the supine position (head at 0° and 45°), sitting and standing positions in patients in the postoperative ...

Earthworms are important soil macrofauna inhabiting almost all ecosystems. Their biomass is large and their burrowing and ingestion of soils alters soil physicochemical properties. Because of their large biomass, earthworms are regarded as an indicator of "soil heath". However, primarily because the difficulties in quantifying their behavior, the extent of their impact on soil material flow dyn...

Background Following head injury, cardiopulmonary functions are impaired and this disturbs the oxygenation transport pathway. Expanding cardiopulmonary physical therapy to encompass the oxygen transport system as a whole has implication for treatment as well as assessment and treatment outcome. Therefore, the aim of the study is to assess the oxygenation level in head injury patients with relat...

The performance of male soccer players (MSPs) depends on multiple factors, such as body composition. It is understandable to think that, due the physical demands and specific functions during play, composition may vary depending playing position. aim this systematic review meta-analysis was describe anthropometric, BC, somatotype characteristics professional MSPs compare reported values accordi...
