objectives: alzheimer’s disease causes many negative effects on the individual's physical, psychological and cognitive conditions. the multi sensory stimulation helps the patients to improve their physical, psychological and cognitive conditions. the aim of this study is to determine the effect of multi sensory stimulation on cognitive status and quality of life of the patients with alzhei...

conclusions the length of sensory and motor blockade is shorter in chronic opioid abusers. adding 10 µg sufentanil to hyperbaric bupivacaine in opium abusers lengthened the sensory and motor block duration. results the duration of sensory and motor block were significantly less in group c (537.0 ± 40.1 minutes, 479.0 ± 34.8 minutes) and the longest duration of sensory and motor block was observ...

A central goal in sensory neuroscience is to fully characterize a neuron's input-output relation. However, strong nonlinearities in the responses of sensory neurons have made it difficult to develop models that generalize to arbitrary stimuli. Typically, the standard linear-nonlinear models break down when neurons exhibit stimulus-dependent modulations of their gain or selectivity. We studied t...

The results of studies examining the effectiveness of sensory integration therapy were reviewed, using recently developed quantitative methods that treat the literature review process as a unique type of research. Forty-nine studies were located initially. Eight of these studies met the following criteria: (a) they investigated the effect of sensory integration therapy; (b) they included depend...

Several signal detection experiments are analyzed in terms of a model that incorporates two distinct processes: an activation process and a decision process. The activation process specifies the relation between external signal events and hypothetized sensory states of the subject. The decision process specifies the relation between the sensory states and the observable responses of the sUbject...

The deep tacit knowledge of material, tool and creative process, developed over many years of professional practice as a sculptor or applied artist is examined and outlines of an analysis of ‘sensory feedback loops’ present in a specific making process are described. The significance and role of the sense of touch within the development of ‘making’ skill is discussed in relation to ‘embodiment’...

Sensory sensitivity is prevalent among young children with ASD, but its relation to social communication impairment is unclear. Recently, increased sensory hypersensitivity has been linked to greater activity of the neural salience network (Green et al., 2016). Increased neural sensitivity to stimuli, especially social stimuli, could provide greater opportunity for social learning and improved ...

background and aims: one of the problems with the implementation of spinal anesthesia is not to achieve an appropriate sensory level and sensory level decline before the end of operation that can cause pain and stress for the patient and surgeon dissatisfaction.                                                                                              in this study, the effects of transdermal...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of addition of soymilk on physicochemical, microbial, and sensory characteristics of milk fermented with Lactobacillus acidophilus. Soybeans were blended 1:5 w/v with distilled water. The prepared soymilk was added to milk in combinations of 20%, 40%, and 60%. Milk was used as the control. All the samples were sterilized and fermented w...
