Temporary transvenous pacemakers were inserted in ten patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by atrioventricubu (A-V) block. With return of sinus rhythm, the ventricular rate was intentionally increased above sinus rate by graded increases of the pacemaker rate and stimulus amplitude to a maximum of 120 beats/minute and to 12 milliamperes for each paced rate. Four patients had ve...

purpose: the present study aims at comparing the impact of two teaching/learning approaches-self- directed/paced learning and lecture/demonstration-based instruction-on mastering psychomotor skills among nursing students. material & method: thirty nursing students were selected for the study. they filled out questionnaires indicating the demographic factor, and mean exam scores achieved in the ...

Rudimentary understanding of biological significances of various genomic alterations is causing slow paced translation of cancer genome sciences to personalized medicine. Comprehensive databases of genetic variations associated to effective cancer prevention approaches, early detection and treatment responses are required to successfully utilize the large amounts of information generated by cur...

OBJECTIVE: The goal of this research was to study whether a fastpaced television show immediately influences preschool-aged children’s executive function (eg, self-regulation, working memory). METHODS: Sixty 4-year-olds were randomly assigned to watch a fastpaced television cartoon or an educational cartoon or draw for 9 minutes. They were then given 4 tasks tapping executive function, includin...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the validity and reliability evidence for the Omron Healthcare HJ-151 and HJ-720ITC pedometers for prescribed and self-paced walking. METHODS A total of 47 adults (24 males, 23 females; age = 24 +/- 4.4 yr.; body mass index = 25.7 +/- 4.2 kg x m(-2)) participated in this study. Under prescribed walking conditions, 34 participants completed thre...

This paper is an extension of a conversation begun at the CARN2020 Conference. It outlines how accelerated, rushed lifestyle impacts negatively on almost every aspect life. In education, fast-paced life reflected in trend towards incessant production. lives university lecturers, teacher-educators, students and teacher-researchers, unrelenting demand for research output performance reports. mirr...

Electrophysiological effects of 2 to 2.5 mg/kg iv disopyramide were studied in 10 patients with dual nodal pathways who used a slow pathway for anterograde and a fast pathway for retrograde conduction during paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (mean cycle length 308.5 +/- 37 ms; range 260-370 ms). Disopyramide terminated the tachycardia in six cases by production of ventriculoatrial block i...

PURPOSE This study compared the ActiGraph accelerometer model 7164 (AM1) with the ActiGraph GT1M (AM2) during self-paced locomotion. METHODS Participants (n = 116, aged 18-73 yr, mean body mass index = 26.1 kg x m(-2)) walked at self-selected slow, medium, and fast speeds around an indoor circular hallway (0.47 km). Both activity monitors were attached to a belt secured to the hip and simulta...

Purpose—This study compared the ActiGraph accelerometer model 7164 (AM1) to the ActiGraph GT1M (AM2) during self-paced locomotion. Methods—Participants n = 116, 18–73y, mean BMI = 26.1) walked at self-selected slow, medium, and fast speeds around an indoor circular hallway (0.47km). Both activity monitors were attached to a belt secured to the hip and simultaneously collected data in 60 second ...
