Cancer is one of the causes of death in the world. Several treatment methods exist against cancer cells such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Since traditional methods have side effects on normal cells and are expensive, identification and developing a new method to cancer therapy is very important. Antimicrobial peptides, present in a wide variety of organisms, such as plants, amphibians and ...

BACKGROUND Increasing attention is being given to the training of doctors to become teachers. This does not apply only to the schooling of teachers in undergraduate medical education: at the postgraduate level, general practitioner trainers (GP-trainers) receive special schooling to prepare them for their role. Yet the skills, knowledge and traits that should be expected in the competent GP-tra...

Objective: To compare peak oxygen consumption (VO2) and heart rate (HR) during treadmill (TM) running and exercise on an elliptical trainer (ET). Design: A graded exercise test (GXT) during TM running and ET exercise. Participants: Physically active college students (N = 14; 25 ± 4.6 years). Each completed a TM GXT and ET GXT on separate days. Results: There were no differences in either VO2pea...

Twocross-sectional studies investigated the effects of competition andcooperationwith virtual players on exercise performance in an immersive virtual reality (VR) cycle exergame. Study 1 examined the effects of: (1) self-competition whereby participants played the exergamewhile competing against a replayof theirprevious exergame session (Ghost condition), and (2) playing the exergame with a vir...

The newly developed gait trainer allows wheel-chair-bound subjects the repetitive practice of a gait-like movement without overstressing therapists. The device simulates the phases of gait, supports the subjects according to their abilities, and controls the center of mass (CoM) in the vertical and horizontal directions. The patterns of sagittal lower limb joint kinematics and of muscle activat...

This thesis presents a novel virtual reality (VR) training concept that integrates the trainer or the trainer model into training sessions. As an extension to conventional VR training systems that rely only on realistic interaction, the students are given the chance to be corrected by the trainer in a multi-user schema. The trainer is connected to the same virtual environment as the student via...
