Are We Able to Distinguish Color Attributes?
The perception and understanding of the three color attributes have been analyzed from two experiments using pairs of Munsell samples, where only one of the three color attributes were changed/unchanged (Experiment I/II) at a time. In each experiment, 36 pairs with color differences of 3 different sizes (average values of 15.8 and 21.7 CIELAB units for Experiments I and II, respectively) were a...
متن کاملOpioid-induced bowel dysfunction: prevalence, pathophysiology and burden
As a result of the undesired action of opioids on the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, patients receiving opioid medication for chronic pain often experience opioid-induced bowel dysfunction (OBD), the most common and debilitating symptom of which is constipation.

متن کاملDyspepsia and Opioid–Induced Bowel Dysfunction: The Role of Opioid Receptor Antagonists
Opioid analgesics are commonly and in most cases effectively used to manage chronic pain of moderate to severe intensity. Apart from analgesia, opioids exert numerous adverse ef‐ fects, several of which impact the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The chronic use of opioid anal‐ gesics in fact is commonly associated with adverse effects on the gastrointestinal tract. [1] Opioid–induced bowel dysfunc...
متن کاملWhy are we not able to see beyond three dimensions?
This is perhaps a philosophical question rather than a mathematical one, we do not expect to give a full answer, even though we hope to clarify some ideas. In addition, we would like to provide a new perspective on the subject. We will find curious analogies with the way we perceive color and make some imaginary experiments showing that, even living imprisoned in three dimensions... it could be...
