OBJECTIVES To gain insights into the process of nurses' changing perceptions when trained to implement a self-management programme for dual sensory impaired older adults in long-term care, and into the factors that contributed to these changes in their perceptions. DESIGN Qualitative study alongside a cluster randomised controlled trial. SETTING 17 long-term care homes spread across the Net...

identification of selection targeted genomic regions is one of the most challenging areas of research in animal genetics, particularly in livestock. we carried out a genome-wide scan for signatures of positive selection to identify genomic regions that had been under selection in iranian khuzestani and mazandrani buffalo breeds. a total of 148 water buffalo from khuzestani (n=121) and mazandran...

OBJECTIVES Conflict between sensory-motor central nervous processing generates somaesthetic disturbances, including pain, in healthy volunteers (HVs). Such conflict has been proposed as a potential cause of pain that occurs in the absence of injury or when the pain response is disproportionate to the injury. Fibromyalgia (FMS) exemplifies the former state. We hypothesized that the artificial ge...

BACKGROUND sip feeds are oral nutritional supplements (ONSs) that are commonly prescribed to malnourished patients to improve their nutritional and clinical status. However, ONSs are poorly consumed and frequently wasted, with sweetness being identified as one of the factors leading to patients' dislike of ONSs. OBJECTIVES to investigate if age affects sweetness thresholds and if this impacts...

DESIGN AND SETTING Questionnaires covering nutritional and sensory perceptions of three types of milk. SUBJECTS Three hundred and sixty-one randomly selected shoppers in Melbourne, Australia. RESULTS Generally, res...

research on the “super sensory perception” has acquired a share in the ongoing study in the branches of psychology and experiential sciences for the two recent centuries. novel results have been achieved as to the possibility and the course of formation of such perceptions. having assumed an analytical-documentary approach making use of library books, this paper goes to deal with the issue in t...
