Dependence of nerve conduction velocity on factors like age, sex and temperature is well known. Effect of handedness on nerve conduction velocity has not been studied adequately. In this study correlation between handedness and motor as well as sensory conduction velocity of right as well as left median nerve was studied in 84 medical students in the age group between 17-21 years out of which 7...

The economic, social and personal burden of common neurological disorders has been the subject of intense study all over the world. Nerve conduction velocity being affected by factors like age, gender and temperature is a well known fact. The effect of handedness on nerve conduction is not known much and needs further evaluation. In the present study 50 medical students divided into 2 groups of...

We show that within the Chicago Public Schools, both the introduction of NCLB in 2002 and the introduction of similar district-level reforms in 1996 generated noteworthy increases in reading and math scores among students in the middle of the achievement distribution but not among the least academically advantaged students. The stringency of proficiency requirements varied among the programs im...

Introduction. This study was designed to measure the attitude of the medical students’ of Jahrom school of medical sciences in basic and clinical stages and the approach they have to their course of study and future occupation. Methods. A Questionnaire was handed out in which some items such as sex, final high school scores, term average scores, patient’s education and the assigned students w...

Fast food is popular among children and adolescents; however, its consumption has often been associated with negative impacts on nutrition and health. This study examined current fast food consumption status among middle school students and explored factors influencing fast food consumption by applying Theory of Planned Behavior. A total of 354 (52.5% boys) students were recruited from a middle...

Abstract We investigated whether finger pointing can be used as a cognitive load self‐management strategy when learning from split‐attention examples. expected that would reduce and enhance performance. In guided phase, 122 university students studied example under three conditions (i.e., no pointing, one‐handed two‐handed pointing) or an integrated without pointing. the subsequent unguided all...
