background and aim: tinnitus is a distressing symptom for which few treatments exist. low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) of the temporal cortex has been proposed as a treatment for chronic tinnitus. this study determined relationship between psychoacoustic parameters such as loudness and frequency of tinnitus and outcome with rtms treatment. methods: twenty six pa...

Fundamental Factors in OMT The Role of Biomechanics in Repetitive Motion Strain and OMT Repetitive and forceful movements, awkward postures, and sustained forces often lead to repetitive motion strain (RMS), a common condition generally correlated to occupationrelated factors such as physical and psychological distress and monotonous work, but which is also correlated to non–work related factor...

End-users conduct various on-line activities. Quite often, they re-visit websites and use services to perform re-occurring activities, such as on-line shopping. The end-users are required to enter the same information into various web services to accomplish such re-occurring tasks. It can negatively impact user experience when a user needs to type the re-occurring information repetitively into ...

The integration of automation and robotics has significantly impacted various industries become a vital tool in repetitive risky human activities. Automation been instrumental reducing error, increasing efficiency, costs industries, such as manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, among others. Robotics, on the other hand, performing complex hazardous tasks health care, defense, construction.

Nicardipine hydrochloride (Nic), a calcium channel antagonist, is used for the treatment of hypertension. In the present study, we estimated its effects on the levels and activities of hepatic cytochrome P450 isoforms in spontaneously hypertensive rats given p.o. with Nic at a dose of 0.5, 2.5, 5, or 12.5 mg/kg at 24-hr intervals for 14 days. Therapeutic effects on the development of hypertensi...

The awkward movements and postures associated with childcare activities can lead to musculoskeletal symptoms in the neck and shoulders. "Dakko" is a method for carrying a child in Japan, and recently it has been reported to cause shoulder stiffness. To our knowledge, the relationship between childcare activities and the physical load on the neck and shoulders is poorly understood. The present s...

Abstract—A repetitive training movement is an efficient method to improve the ability and movement performance of stroke survivors and help them to recover their lost motor function and acquire new skills. The ETS-MARSE is seven degrees of freedom (DOF) exoskeleton robot developed to be worn on the lateral side of the right upper-extremity to assist and rehabilitate the patients with upper-extr...

Recent research demonstrated that 5-month-old infants could discriminate and remember repetitive actions (e.g., brushing teeth, blowing bubbles, brushing hair), but not the distinctive faces of the women who performed the actions (Bahrick, Gogate, & Ruiz, submitted). It was only when the faces were static that infants showed evidence of face discrimination. The present study replicated and exte...
