PURPOSE The steep ramp test (SRT) can be used to provide an indication of exercise capacity when gas exchange measurements are not possible. This study evaluated the clinical usefulness of the SRT in adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CF) and compared the physiological responses of the SRT with the standard cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). METHODS Forty patients with CF (17 boys and 23 gi...

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the SRT that was performed in 4-6 year-old Persian-speaking children. The SRT is a nonword repetition task that assesses phonological working memory and was designed by Shriberg in 2008. Methods: The present research was a non-experimental study with a methodological design. The content validity of the task was evaluated...

AIMS This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) for the treatment of patients with oligometastases or oligorecurrence within mediastinal lymph nodes (MLNs) originating from different tumors. METHODS Between October 2006 and May 2015, patients with MLN oligometastases or oligorecurrence were enrolled and treated with SRT at our hospital. The primary en...

Sustainable tourism as a concept, and responsible its successful implementation, represent two major challenges for researchers in different academic fields stakeholders destinations sustainable planning, policies, actions, outcomes. This paper provides bibliometric inventory of research published the field (SRT). The results identify publications on SRT; author cooperation between countries th...

AIMS To evaluate the dosimetric profile among three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) for the treatment of intracranial tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventeen patients with intra cranial tumors of benign nature or low malignant potential were enrolled and planned for SRT as well as 3D-CRT. Dosimetric comparison between these two plans was done co...

Two types of applications are considered: Hard Real-Time (HRT) and Soft Real-Time (SRT). HRT applications need to meet their deadlines under all circumstances; deadlines of SRT applications may occasionally be missed. Both applications are constructed from objects. HRT and SRT applications coexist on the same set of processors and share objects to allow a consistent exchange of data via transac...

PURPOSE To assess the validity and repeatability of saccadic reaction times (SRT) across the visual field up to 30° using eye movement perimetry (EMP). METHODS Eighteen subjects (36 eyes) were shown a central stimulus on a flat monitor screen. Next, peripheral stimuli were shown using an overlap paradigm. Subjects were instructed to look at detected peripheral stimuli and then refixate the ce...

BACKGROUND While cardiorespiratory fitness is strongly related to survival, there are limited data regarding musculoskeletal fitness indicators. Our aim was to evaluate the association between the ability to sit and rise from the floor and all-cause mortality. DESIGN Retrospective cohort. METHODS 2002 adults aged 51-80 years (68% men) performed a sitting-rising test (SRT) to and from the fl...

BACKGROUND We compared the functional outcome and influential factors of two standard treatment modalities for central cerebral metastases: electrophysiological-controlled microsurgical resection (MSR) and stereotactic radiotherapy/stereotactic radiosurgery (SRT/SRS). METHODS We performed a database search for central metastasis treatments during the period from January 2008 to September 2012...

PURPOSE This article reports on a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of spaced retrieval training (SRT) on semantic memory in people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or related disorder. METHOD An initial systematic database search identified 454 potential studies. After screening and de-duplication, 35 studies that used SRT with the population of interest remained. The authors u...
